Rolling Clothes

You’ve probably heard this more times than you can count, but it’s worth mentioning again – roll your clothes instead of folding them.

Packing Cubes

Packing cubes will help you keep your clothes, accessories, and toiletries neatly organized, but this is not their only perk. In addition to maintaining order in your backpack and making it easier to find the items that you need, packing cubes will compress your clothes and make room to pack more items.

Pillow Hack

Pillow hack became a viral sensation on TikTok in recent months, and it deserves all the attention coming its way. Since most airlines allow travel pillows on board, this space-saving strategy suggests you should stash clothing items inside your pillow. If you decide to give it a shot, stick to a discreet neck pillow to avoid drawing unwanted attention to yourself.
