The recent hike in fuel costs has resulted in airlines having to increase costs and pass them onto the consumer. Most notably many airlines are now charging a fee for luggage over 23 kilos. Don't even think about trying to check 2 pieces of luggage as more than likely, you will be charged for that 2nd piece. This alone can add more stress to an already stressful endeavour. That said, now more than ever, we are being approached by the media for our opinion on how to pack a suitcase. So, we have come up with our top 10 packing tips:
1. Make sure your suitcase is a newer, lighter model and choose a medium size
2. Give yourself enough time to pack (it takes longer than you think)
3. Roll your clothes
4. Employ the use of compression bags or space bags
5. Only pack clothing and shoes that you love...don't pack things you think you might wear.
6. Use small containers for your shampoo and cosmetics
7. Separate toiletries into ziplock bags that you can tuck into small spaces in your suitcase
8. Ensure your on-board bag has a change of clothes just incase your suitcase doesn't arrive
9. Bring only 3 pairs of shoes
10. Stuff socks into shoes to maximize space
We hope this helps you for your next trip!

We recently flew with American Airlines and we had to pay $15.00 per bag that we checked in. There were no free bags.
