If you need a jacket or blazer on your journey, save space in your luggage by wearing or carrying these bulkier items. Toting more than one pair of shoes? Always wear the heaviest pair on travel days.2. Use Space-Saving Bags
Separate your belongings by type into smaller plastic cases. You can squeeze or suction the air out of them to conserve space, and it's a great way to easily find your belongings as you unpack. Ziploc bags, which can also be re-used, work just as well in a pinch.3. Make Use of Every Available Space
