Slimming Down Your Suitcase
Getting ready for a flight to Israel? Not looking forward to paying extra money for four other suitcases on the plane? Here are some helpful tips to cut down the weight and pack everything efficiently into one suitcase.
- Research the hotel or place you are staying to find out what amenities are offered, such as a hair dryer, toothpaste, etc. If the room has it, don’t bring it!
- Check up on the weather for the week. If it’s supposed to be chilly the entire week, there is no reason to bring a pair of shorts and flip flops.
- If the trip is one week or less, pack the following: 1 shirt per day, 1 sweater/jacket for layering, 1 pair of pants for every 2 days, 2 pairs of shoes (1 to wear and 1 to pack), undergarments for every day, and any seasonal items.
- Even if you’re staying longer than one week, follow the same rules but wash your clothing instead of packing more items.
- Pack only travel size versions of toiletries or purchase small plastic bottles if you can’t find a travel size.
- Wear the heaviest/thickest clothing on the day you travel so you can have more room in the suitcase.
- Make a list of everything you want to pack so you can see just how much, or how little, you really are packing.
