Luggage.


A suitcase is usually moved separately from the traveler - in the cargo compartment of a bus or plane, in the trunk of a car or taxi, it is carried from place to place by strangers - porters or porter. Luggage can be dropped, lost, sent to another destination, confused with the owner, or just steal. Based on this, DDT should never be put in a suitcase: Documents, Money, Phone. Even if the suitcase disappears, in this case you can always return home with minimal financial costs and moral upheaval.

Suitcase packing


The main principle of packing is that there should be no empty spaces. The suitcase should not carry air. Fragile items are placed in the middle and covered with soft items on all sides. On the bottom, dense flat things are laid that cannot be rolled into rolls - a jacket, trousers, a dress. On top of them, replaceable shoes are placed along the walls. It should be unpicked, each sneaker or shoe should be placed in a separate plastic bag, previously packed tightly with small, soft things - tightly rolled up socks, a T-shirt, and changeable underwear. Such padding will retain the shape of the shoe and save space.


Shaving products, creams, lotions, cosmetics, or pre-packed in a special travel bag, or put in a double plastic bag, so that if you handle it or squeeze your luggage, damaged tubes do not stain other things with their contents. .Soft clothes - socks, T-shirts, shorts, tracksuit, jeans - are rolled up in the form of tight rollers and tightly packed without gaps between them. Laying flat, like on cabinet shelves, is not suitable for transport in a suitcase.

Things will clump together. The most problematic item is the hat. To maintain its shape, the crown must be stuffed with soft clothes, put the hat on the bottom of the suitcase and tightly overlap with other things. Power bank of the gadget, charger, book for reading in the waiting room, first aid kit, spare glasses in a sturdy case, packed in the outer pockets of the suitcase or put on top other things.


After packing the suitcase should be closed and its weight should be estimated. It is necessary to proceed from the fact that for some time the baggage will move without the help of service personnel, for example, at a customs check. When traveling by air, the suitcase must be weighed so as not to exceed the airline's baggage allowance. Outer and warm clothing - a jacket, a sweater - should not be packed into a suitcase, but rather put on yourself when moving. This will reduce the weight and volume of luggage.

If there are several family members' belongings in one baggage, they can be grouped in plastic bags, this will make it easier to find the right one when unpacking a suitcase in the room.
