technique, according to the experts.  Instead of simply rolling each garment individually, consider layering items within each other before rolling. For example, place socks and underwear

inside shirts or pants to create compact bundles that save both space and prevent wrinkles. Packing efficiently can save you time, space, and hassle while planning your summer holidays.

solely for clothes, think outside the box. Use smaller compression cubes to store toiletries, electronic accessories, or even snacks. Not only does this save space, but it also keeps items

organised and easily accessible during your journey. Vaccum bags can be used for packing bulky sweaters or jackets that take up a lot of space (Image: Getty Images) EMBRACE MULTI-FUNCTION To

truly optimise space in your carry-on, prioritise multi-functional items that serve multiple purposes. For example, invest in a versatile scarf that can double as a blanket or a sarong that

can be used as a beach towel. Additionally, opt for clothing with built-in features like hidden pockets or convertible designs for added convenience. LAYER IT UP When packing your carry-on,

think in terms of layers to maximise every inch of space. Start by placing heavier items and bulkier essentials at the bottom, such as shoes or toiletry bags. Then, layer lighter items on

top, such as clothing or electronics. This not only prevents items from shifting during transit but also makes it easier to access essentials without unpacking everything. GO LIGHT ON THE

TECH While it's tempting to pack every gadget under the sun for entertainment during your travels, be selective. Prioritise versatile tech items like a smartphone or tablet that can

serve multiple purposes, from navigation to entertainment. Invest in compact and lightweight accessories like foldable keyboards or portable chargers to minimise bulk without sacrificing

functionality. THE MAGIC OF VACUUM BAGS For items like bulky sweaters or jackets that take up a lot of space in your carry-on, consider using vacuum bags. These bags allow you to compress

clothing and remove excess air, significantly reducing the amount of space they occupy in your luggage. FILL UP ALL EMPTY SPACES Make the most of any empty spaces within your luggage, such

as inside shoes or the gaps between larger items. Stuff socks or underwear inside shoes to save space and keep them from getting crushed. Additionally, use small pouches or organisers to

fill in any gaps and maximise storage capacity.
