How to Pack a Carry-On Suitcase for A Two-Week Trip
You will be wearing one of your outfits, so take away a pair of shoes, a pair of pants, a top, a bra, underwear, and a pair of socks.
Method 1: Using Packing cubes
Store items in the same category in each cube. Get two for your bottoms and tops. Then you can organize your underwear, bras, and socks into one cube, the same with your jackets, pajamas, and dresses. There are some cubes with a zipper on the front. You can put your beanie and hat in there. Lastly, place your shoes into a rectangular one. Once done, you can place them inside your carry-on. You can put your toiletries and umbrella on the front zipper if your suitcase has one. Make sure to bring a foldable duffel bag.
Method 2: How to Fold Clothes For Travel
If you are not going to use packing cubes, folding will help you stay organized.
For shirts:
Lay it flat on a surface, right side up. Bring in the sleeves in the left part of the shirt and do the same for the other side. Bring the bottom to the top, then fold it twice.
For pants:
Fold in half, then put the crotch part in. Fold in half again then fold twice.
Shoes:
Put your socks in your shoes. It can save you a lot of room and maintain the shape of your shoes. Place them in a bag.
Toiletries:
You can buy contact lens cases, and put your cream or gel-based products in there. You can also use squeezable dropper bottles for liquids.
To keep any liquid from spilling, put a little bit of plastic wrap on the top of the bottle before placing the lid.
Pill organizer:
Use this to organize your medicines, pills, and jewelry.
How to assemble:
Work on the bottom half first. Start with your jacket. You can wear one on the plane to save space. Next, place the shoes with the socks, followed by the dresses, tops, and pajamas.
On the top half, place your pants, and non-liquid toiletries.
Fill the space in the middle with underwear.
For the panel section, place your bras, beanies, and hats.
For the front part, put your laundry bag, toiletry bag, umbrella, and foldable duffel bag.
