List making for suitcase savvy tips

Don't be random. Aimless attempts to pack last minute because you simply can't be bothered, is a guaranteed fail. Yes, we know you are ready for a holiday, but plan your outfits and you really will thank yourself when you're carrying a lightweight suitcase around at the airport.

Step four - mix and match holiday outfits

Mix and match items – you really don't need to take the equivalent of three distinct outfits a day – and remember you can wash clothes when you're away too (mini washing fluid).

Of course, we would love you to splash out on a whole new wardrobe, but be sensible and invest carefully. Perhaps it's a lightweight shawl you'll wear constantly, quality day wedges or compact gadgets ...

Roll up your dresses to guarantee fewer creases. Or pop in a versatile playsuit. Also make sure space is used by tucking smaller items inside shoes, for instance, and removing things from unnecessary bulky packaging wherever possible.

Make sure those vital documents (passport, ticket, hotel details etc) are all securely stored together, so you know exactly where they are and can access them quickly when needed. Don't just grab your usual handbag, cluttered with mystery items from way back when.
