greater chances of a problem-free trip.

Pack
clothes in tissue paper and place in plastic bags.
3. Sae space by rolling clothes rather than folding
them.
This
also can decrease your chances of wrinkling.
4. Be realistic.
Pack
only what you need and leae the rest at home for another time. Those
who travel frequently say to lay out everything you want to pack but
then only pack half of it.
5. Pack extra underwear.
This
is the only time you can break the less is more rule.
6. Pack a couple of plastic bags.
They don’t take up much space and are useful for
separating wet or dirty clothing.

Air pressure changes may cause breaks or leaking. Also
keep in mind that bag handlers are not known for being gentle with your
bags.
