Check List It Up<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first step is <strong>preparation<\/strong>.\u00a0Forget the packing and repacking, the last minute dash to the shop. Be organised, Holidaymakers. It\u2019s time for a <strong>list<\/strong>! Make a tick list of your essentials so you know exactly what you need.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #ff6600;\">2. Be Packing Savvy<\/strong><br \/>\nIt may seem odd, but you don\u2019t actually need the kitchen sink, Holidaymakers! Take a little time to find out <strong>what the hotel has to offer<\/strong>. There\u2019s no point taking something that\u2019s already waiting for you out in paradise.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #ff6600;\">3. Folding Tactics<\/strong><br \/>\nBecome a clothes origami ninja. Bag yourself an <strong>economical folding technique<\/strong> so that you can maximise the amount of clothes packed and minimise space used for said clothes. Those undergarments are perfect for rolling into the smallest of spaces.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>4. Prioritise<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nDo you really need to take those extremely pretty shoes that don\u2019t quite fit properly or those shorts that are still unworn from your last getaway because you don\u2019t <em>really<\/em> like them? Although they may love a getaway to sunnier skies, they aren\u2019t going to see much stuck at the bottom of the suitcase. <strong>Be ruthless<\/strong>. We ain\u2019t got time for excess baggage!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18186\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2016\/01\/checklist.jpg\" alt=\"checklist\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/checklist.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/checklist-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>5. Utilise The Hand Luggage<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nSo you think you\u2019ve used up every last bit of space and crammed very nook and cranny. Behold, the <strong>hand luggage<\/strong>! It\u2019s like finding a \u00a35 note that got lost down the side of the sofa. A jewel you\u2019d forgotten about. As long as it fits airline requirements, pack away. Make the most of that bonus bit of luggage space.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>6. Duty Free Bonanza<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOnce you\u2019ve checked in at the airport you\u2019ve got plenty of time to browse around the shops. So take the time to <strong>collect bits<\/strong> that you couldn\u2019t quite squeeze into the case. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s <strong>duty free<\/strong>! Huzzah!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>7. Plan Away<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nFor the organised Holidaymakers out there, <strong>plan the perfect getaway outfits<\/strong> to match the length\u00a0of your escape. Perhaps with a couple of extras for that last minute change of mind. That way you won\u2019t be wasting valuable suitcase space with outfits that will keep you going for a year-long getaway.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>8. If All Else Fails \u2013 The Classic Squash<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nEven with the strictest of packing regimes, sometimes those suitcases can bulge from the sides and zipping up seems like an impossible task. So, grab yourself a weight, whether that be a friend, foe, dog, dumbbell (the list goes on),\u00a0<strong>squash down that lid<\/strong> and <strong>pull those zips tight<\/strong>. Warning: this may be a two (wo)man job.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18185\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2016\/01\/suitcase2.jpg\" alt=\"suitcase \" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/suitcase2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/suitcase2-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There you have it, Holidaymakers. <strong>8 top tips<\/strong> for making that suitcase wrestle a piece of cake.
