– How to put things in a suitcase?
Make a list of things to take with you. It will help not to forget something special, but on the other hand it will help not to pack the whole wardrobe in one suitcase. We start by noting the most important ones and those you should have with you at your destination. Before we start collecting things, we narrow down the final list as much as possible.
How do you fold things compactly in a suitcase going into the cabin or in the hold of an Air Senegal plane? To prevent clothes from getting wrinkled in a suitcase, and also to save space, they fold them rather than folding them. Many experienced travelers believe that the best way to save space in your suitcase is to roll it up.
To get the most out of your suitcase, you need to consider the shape and size of the items. Larger and heavier items are placed at the bottom of the bag, and lighter items continue to be placed. This will make it easier to close the bag. If something has an unusual shape, they screw up the clothes, making sure there are no empty spaces in the luggage.
Taking advantage of the empty space that usually remains in the corners and sides of the suitcase, they stuff underwear, socks and everything that does not take up much space. Small objects can be placed inside the shoe.
Chargers, cables that we take out of a suitcase or a personal bag are conveniently placed in plastic bags with a zipper. This way they will be well organized.
Necessary, without which you cannot do, namely first aid kits. Prepare painkillers, as well as sedatives, wipes. Bring headphones and a mask for better sleep.
Make a list of everything you put in your luggage so you can tell it in order to claim with the airline Air Senegal or the insurance company. Of course, don’t forget cash, credit card and travelers checks.
Carrying clothes in a suitcase: How to store them properly?
When packing your bags, make sure your clothes are clean, ironed, neatly folded and take up as little space as possible. Who prefers to fold it, it is important to use the entire surface, even the small holes that can be created between the clothes. Clothes made of fabrics that crease easily should be placed as high as possible. If we take a laptop with us, we put it in the middle of the suitcase.
– Items and liquid products in the baggage?
Among the things that we take with us in a suitcase, there may be shower gel and shampoo (in 100 ml containers if you travel by plane). Before packing liquids, wrap the lid with tape.
