Airline Travel Part 1: packing for your trip.

There are many things to keep in mind and consider when packing for a trip. I usually start by taking into account how long the trip will be. Longer trips are pretty easy to prepare for because you will generally pack more allowing for greater flexibility in outfit choices while shorter trips (which tend to be more common) require more planning. for those shorter trips the best thing to do is pack neutrals for shirts and trousers and use color in other items like socks, ties, and pocket squares. This will allow some flexibility without taking up a lot of suitcase real estate. It's also a great idea to pack for 1 to 2 more days then what the trip requires. It will allow you some wiggle room if a flight is missed or canceled. Make sure to consider what types of things you'll be doing while traveling as it will help you pack appropriately for special events or parties that may require nicer dress. Another tip is to invest in some travel containers for things like aftershave and shave lotion etc. These will take up less space and allow you to pack more efficiently. Lastly, when putting all of your items in your bag, try different configurations to see how items fit best. The more compact you luggage the easier it is to lug around. Hope this makes your holiday travels more efficient. Stay classy.
