HOW TO PACK LIGHT

 

Even if you're only going away for a few days, it's a good idea to travel light. Only pack what you need and leave the "what ifs" at home.

Packing bags is time-consuming, and handling them is even more tiresome. Checking bags would add to the cost of your flight, and you will be worried about losing your luggage. 

With a light bag, even if your original flight is canceled or delayed, you'll have the option to take the next one out, all made easy with a light bag.

So, how can you pack efficiently?

Here's a step-by-step guide to cramming all of your essentials into a single, lightweight bag.

1. Make a list of everything you intend to bring.
2. Lay everything in plain sight.
3.  Roll up T-shirts and shorts. Fold fabrics such as khaki pants and sweaters into squares.
4. Wear the heaviest items on you, don't wear anything that will take up a lot of room in your suitcase.
