From t-shirts, jeans to even your underwear, this rolling technique will have you questioning why you never tried it before!
Hack 2: Use Packing Cubes
Welcome to the future of travel packing - packing cubes. These nifty organizers compartmentalize your suitcase, making it easier to locate items and keeping your belongings neat throughout your trip. Plus, they come in various sizes, allowing you to customize your suitcase layout to your liking.

Travel smart by picking items that serve multiple purposes. A sarong, for instance, can double up as a beach towel, a blanket on a chilly plane ride, a picnic mat, or a shawl for visiting religious sites. You'll be amazed at how much space you can save by packing less but smarter!
Hack 4: Use Your Shoes Wisely

One bag is permitted per passenger.
