    So far, I have been using the same suitcase since I was 5 years old. I am now 24, and it's still in good condition, although it is a little beat up. I might try a monos suitcase, when mine rips apart. As for my travel tips: I always put an extra pair of underwear in my carry on. Also, I pack very lightly and bring very few clothes. My suitcase rarely weights 15 kilos. I pack bar shampoo and conditioner. It makes it lighter.

    Whatever liquid you can swap out for a solid, do it. I’ll pack bars for shampoo and conditioner, tide detergent sheets instead of pods/mini bottle, etc.
    If you’re planning on bringing lots of different liquids, decant them into contact lens cases. I do this for skincare and makeup when possible.
    With the travel picking back up again, but companies not always being able to keep up with demand, scheduling earlier flights gives you a higher chance of not having your flight cancelled due to delays.

    Compression cubes work very well, particularly for bulky items. There is no need to pack the pair of shoes together and you may find that if you separate sneakers, for example, you can tuck one in a crevasse along the side or spine of your bag more easily. I gave up on big toiletry bags and stick to small pouches or even ziplocks to stash dry toiletries more easily.

I use the luggage covers and the sponges that come with it to keep it clean. It looks great and holds up well. I'll be flying into DCA next. Enjoyed your packing tips. ✈️

We decided to go carry-on only for this trip because we didn't want to take a chance on the airline losing our luggage with the clothes we would wear to the wedding in it. Monos did us right! Manuevered and handled great, and we even packed fancy floor length dresses in them! No issues. We're sold on carry-on only now, so much less hassle! Hoping to take another short trip to Massachusetts and a week-long to Costa Rica next year...with just carry-ons 😁

    I don’t go anywhere. But it’s nice to see how you pack in case I decide I want to. I have three small dogs, that we would have to board. Which really isn’t a problem. I’m just not much of a traveler. I don’t like to fly. I went to Las Vegas a long long time ago. That’s about the only place I would like to go back to. But not in the winter. I have family out of state. But we would just drive there. In fact, we may be going on a trip next summer to visit them. I’m going to be a great grandmother. And the baby is due in July. I used to travel more when I was younger. I’m old and would rather just stay home.
