As travel by air (or travel abroad) becomes a reality in 2021, the packaging problem will not change: What size bag should I carry? Is it suitable for all my things? How much liquid can I bring through security? Where are my shoes?
The key to streamlined luggage is to plan ahead and reduce the necessities into smaller compartments.
According to the Canadian government’s travel regulations, all liquid items need to be packed in a quart-sized transparent bag. Although this rule is not always strictly enforced, if it is, you need to be prepared.
Use Ziploc bags or buy 3-1-1 transparent bags with handles. Be sure to fill this with liquid to make the most of the space.
This bag should be placed at the end of the clothes so that it is easy to get through the airport security check. (In Canada, ensure that a single product does not exceed the maximum allowable size in 2021: 100 ml/3.4 oz.)
Yes, but only sometimes. Mini bottles are suitable for liquids contained in large bottles (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and mouthwash), but some skin care products (such as facial serum and sunscreen) cannot really transfer and should be small enough to be packaged.
Hairbrushes, tweezers, deodorant sticks, disposable razors, cosmetics (eye shadow, powder and brushes), band-aids and other sundries can all be packed in a small cube. Because there is no liquid in this container, it may not need to come out at the security checkpoint. Even if you are not using it at home, you can also consider wrapping the loofah with a suction cup and hanging it in the shower. It can make up for weak water pressure and help make full use of the shower gel.
Don’t bother to pack cotton swabs and cotton balls, they are usually provided in the hotel bathroom (or upon request).
Before you start folding, arrange all the items you want to bring, and consider the degree of wear and tear of each item during your daily travel (including flying home).
Start with the wardrobe staples Uniqlo cotton shirts and Hanes T-shirts, and build from there. Rolling clothes is a standard packaging technique, but larger items such as jeans and sweaters can be layered with cubes (see below for more details).
The shoes are a space pig and should win their place (fill them with shoes and underwear to get some extra space). Try to avoid shoes that can only be worn once (for hygiene, please use a shoe bag or wrap it in plastic wrap so that the sole will not touch your clothes.)
Some things that wrap the cubes look amazing, but in fact it is very simple: they are square and can be stacked. It also helps to separate and organize items such as underwear and swimsuits; the cube can be pulled out and opened, but it does not need to be unpacked during a two or three-day trip.
The pill box can double as a travel jewelry box for storing small items that are easy to lose (such as earrings).
A small bag does not mean spending a month in Europe; how many different items are actually needed
For those who tend to be “heavy packers”, consider bringing checked baggage. Champs is a Canadian brand with a two-piece set, including all the bells and whistles we’d expect (lightweight, lined, four rotating wheels, hard shell aluminum) and bright and eye-catching colors, which stand out in the sea of black bags.
The airline is ready to welcome a large number of passengers and will definitely check the weight limit (this can be a huge and unexpected cost at the gate). A scale can save you a few dollars.
Chargers, earphones, additional masks, air and motion sickness chewable tablets, preferred headache medicine, water bottle and a pack of travel-size antibacterial wipes should be placed in the outermost pocket for easy access.
