When
travelling, travel smart.
Choose a reliable travelling bag and pack comprehensively
and sensibly. Before you can pack properly for a trip, you
need to determine your priorities. For a business trip or
a formal event such as a wedding, you'll want to keep clothes
in perfect, crease-free condition. But if you’re packing
for a hike in the mountains or a drive, you might tolerate
a few wrinkles in exchange for an extra pair of walking
shoes squeezed into your baggage. Remember to include essentials
like a laundry pouch. Laundry is probably one of the last
things you want to think about when you're far away from
home. But spills and stains cannot be left behind. You’re
better off being prepared, since the key to successful stain
removal is to act immediately. Hotel laundry services are
very expensive, and stains can set if you wait until you
get home to remove them.
To
avoid leaks caused by pressure changes during air travel,
fill travel-size plastic bottles partway, squeeze out excess
air, and cap them, creating a vacuum. Then double-bag them,
first in a cosmetics bag or large re-sealable plastic bag,
then in a plastic shopping bag. Never pack toiletries in
the same bag with clothes—a single spill can cause
great damage. Along with toiletries, your carry-on bag should
hold your jewellery and other valuables; eyewear; a travel
first aid kit; travel documents; maps; and reading material
especially if you have to
Stay
ahead of your travel arrangements. Flight schedules and
check in times are vulnerable. If you gave an email address
as confirmation of your ticket, you will need to check your
emails frequently until the date of departure. Pay particular
attention your point departure. Use this checklist to help
you plan your journey:
