Holiday outfits tend to be limited to what you can fit into your suitcase, but a simple packing hack could mean you have a lot more space to play with.
TikTok influencer Chantel Mila revealed one folding trick for saving space in your suitcase—and it prevents wrinkles on your clothes.
In her demonstrative TikTok video, Chantel revealed how simply rolling clothes can lead to “double” the space inside your suitcase – but there’s a way to roll certain garments.
During the enlightening watch, viewers are shown how to roll tops, jeans, and dresses.
Tops, for example, need to be folded at the bottom, outwards so the hem is visible, and any sleeves need to be positioned to the back of the top.
The sides of the top are then folded in vertically and the rolling begins, with the top neatly being tucked into itself to remain secure.
One commentator said they were “watching” the video as they “pack right now” and found the tutorial “super helpful… especially for the pants”.
Others were concerned that rolling clothes actually “just takes more space” in the suitcase.
While reviews on the travel hack were mixed, Chantel added another “trick” for when you go traveling.
“A little trick I heard from a fight attendant is to always pack a pillowcase in your luggage,” said Chantel.
She explained that some of the clothes can go into the pillowcase if you end up with overweight baggage.
“You’re allowed to bring a pillow onboard without it being weighed!” Chantel claimed.
However, not all airlines will allow passengers to take pillows on board their flights. Ryanair, for example, doesn’t allow pillows or neck pillows in addition to hand luggage without an extra fee.
