How to pack a travel bag 

Packing both, women's and men’s, travel bags efficiently can make any trip go smoothly. Whether you’re taking a large suitcase or just carry-on luggage, get familiar with any size, weight, and item restrictions so that you’re ready. Use shoes, containers, and other shaped items as storage for socks and small jewelry. Packing cubes are a great way to make sure everything fits and they help eliminate wasted space. Roll clothes to save on space and identify each item when needed. Don’t forget to pack your own laundry bag, water bottle, and toiletry bag. These help you organize your things for your return. 

How do I choose a travel bag

Choosing a travel bag starts by first identifying the purpose of your trip. You need a bag that is functional and sturdy. If you are packing light for a weekend getaway, pick a backpack or travel tote bag that is secure yet practical. Crossbody bags, weekender bags, duffel bags, and backpack shoulder bags are usually enough for a weekend trip and make good carry-on bags as well. Weekend travel bags are usually carry-on size. For longer trips and if you need to carry many items, choose a travel bag with a hard shell for added protection. Rolling luggage sets with spinner wheels come with multiple compartments for all your travel accessories and are easy to maneuver around.
