Travel Light - How To Make The Most Out Of Your Suitcase

In our modern world time is money and a heavy luggage definitely means more money! The ways we travel today have tremendously changed compared to the past. The check-in procedures at the airports have become faster and more efficient and the airlines are speeding up the process by clamping down on heavy or oversized luggage.

The bigger airlines are more tolerant especially on long-haul routes, however the luggage allowance here is also shrinking. And if you have decided to choose one of the low cost airlines like EasyJet, Ryanair or any of the charter flights, definitely go light weight. The economic prices you pay also reflect the amount of kilos you will be carrying with you.

Ideally, if going on a short trip, why bother with any checked luggage at all? The cabin luggage allowance is pretty generous and the suitcases are made in standardized size to easily fit the overhead compartment. You would be amazed just how much you can pack into a good quality piece of hand luggage! Let's face it, you won't need to carry the extra pair of elegant shoes or that expensive business suit on your weekend trip to Prague. Carry the right amount of clothes and reduce the amount of cosmetics to a minimum. It is a good idea to weigh your hand luggage at home or in a specially designated area at the airport, in case you need to repack or remove any unnecessary items to stay within your allowed weight limits. Carrying each extra kilo, especially on the low cost carriers, can incur extra amount of charges, which can be pretty expensive.

Choosing a light weight suitcase is highly recommended and there is such a wide choice available on the market these days. Check out the renowned brands as these will last longer and can be purchased at specially reduced prices on the internet. If you are travelling long haul, make sure your suitcase is not oversized and the amount of luggage is within your allowance limit.

Carry the right amount of clothes and shoes. Do not carry too many items and try to fit in as many light weight clothes in as possible. Make a list of important items you wish to carry on your trip including medicine, toiletries, books or cameras. When packing your clothes, try to roll them into thin pieces rather than fold them. Make use of every tiny space in your suitcase by stuffing it with underwear, socks and smaller items. Otherwise, many of the transatlantic carriers will also impose charges on every extra kilo outside your weight limit. These charges are rather high and on the increase each season.

Getting hit by the excess luggage charges at the airport can sometimes be unpleasant and stressful. Therefore packing smart will surely enhance your holiday experience and help speed up the airport procedures. Remember, the 21st century traveler always travels light!

How to attach two rolling suitcases?

I've seen people in the airport pulling two rolling suitcases that are attached together. But I never looked to see how they are attached. Do you know what they use? I need to do that.

duck tape comes to mind. xD
