There have been many times I have traveled with just a carry on suitcase. It eliminates the possibility of the airline losing your luggage and saves time be eliminating the need to wait for checked baggage. Here is a great post on packing 30 outfits in your carry on and how to style the outfits so you have plenty of options!

Put jewelry in a pill box so they don't get tangled

-That pill container is good for more than just pills! Use it to store your earrings, necklaces and rings so they don’t get tangled up in your suitcase.

-Use a shower cap to cover the bottoms of your shoes before packing them in your suitcase. The shower cap will protect your clothes from getting dirty.

-Rather than packing your large container of foundation, fill an empty contact lens case with foundation and leave your makeup bottle at home.

-Toss a few clothespins in your suitcase so you can hang up your wet swimsuit or clothes you’ve washed in the sink to dry.

Turn a dollar store hot pad into a flat iron case! Now you can pack your flat iron in your bag before it cools down.

Invest in quality luggage to make your trip through the airport easy. There is nothing worse than juggling bad luggage through the airport, trust me I’ve done it! I can recall trying to haul two suitcases through the airport, into a cab and then into a hotel by myself. One of the suitcases kept tipping over until finally the strap I used to pull it broke off completely. Invest in nice luggage that will save the wear and tear on your body and make for a pleasant trip.

Atlantic Luggage offers an amazing line of luggage to get you to your destination! You will be amazed how much you can fit into each piece, ridding you of the hassle of multiple pieces of luggage to carry or to worry about in the airport. Atlantic Luggage has innovative features such as the Link2Go™ system, which allows you to connect multiple pieces of luggage for easy one handed rolling. Or, their 360-degree 4-Wheel Spinners allows for easy guiding and steering through busy terminals. Atlantic Luggage has thought of it all, taking the struggle out of traveling for the whole family.

    Such great travel hacks! I notice that when I put my clothes in vertically, I tend to be able to fit more. Plus, they seem to stay better organized!

    The right luggage is so important. I had the handle on mine fall apart on a new suit case. It is hard to carry a bag that you can no longer roll while trying to juggle everything else. I love that flat iron pouch, that would be nice to have when I go places.

    You are a packing genius! I can’t believe some of these tips. A pouch for the flat iron. A medicine organizer for jewelry. Awesome.

    Great tips – love the hot pad curling iron idea. I’ve wanted some of those travel bags for quite some time. I might just bite the bullet and buy some before our next trip.

    I could totally use new luggage! I don’t travel enough to justify the purchase at this point though. The shower cap idea is genius!
