We gave some handy tips with our popular article “What’s the Best Way to Pack a Suitcase”.
One easy way to cut back on wasted space is to vacuum pack the contents of your luggage. Something like the Eagle Creek Pack-It Compression Bag works a treat.
There are two different sizes:
Sac Medium - 15.5 x 24.5 in / 39 x 62 cm
Sac Large - 17.5 x 28.5 in. / 44 x 72 cm
One end of the bag self seals while the other end incorporates a one way valve that releases unnecessary air.
Perfect for ladies trying to squeeze in an extra dinner dress!!
The Pack It Compression Bag retails for a very reasonable £10 ($20).
