Packing for a vacation can sometimes feel daunting and overwhelming. With weight restrictions and rising baggage fees, it might seem impossible to bring everything you need. We’re here to help you transition from rushed to relaxed with these six genius packing tips.

Make a List

Start by checking the weather at your destination to determine the types of clothes and shoes you'll need. Create a comprehensive list of items, from clothes to toiletries, ahead of time to avoid forgetting anything important.

Use Your Closet

Plan your outfits in your closet before packing. Clear a space and use a freedomRail Valet Rod to hang your outfits. This way, you can double-check that you have everything before putting them in your suitcase.

Do Your Research

Research your accommodations to find out what amenities are available. Will there be a hair dryer? Is there a washer and dryer? Knowing these details can help you pack fewer items in your suitcase.

Carry It On

If you're flying, pack a few essentials in your carry-on, like a change of clothes and a phone charger. While you can't control lost luggage, you can prepare for it by having some necessities with you.

Dual-Purpose Items

Maximize your luggage space by packing versatile items that you can wear multiple times. Consider bringing neutral pants that can be paired with different shirts throughout your trip.

Roll On

Save space by rolling your clothes into bundles. You can bundle entire outfits or roll individual items. Remember to leave extra room for souvenirs and mementos you might purchase during your trip.

Staying organized throughout your journey makes repacking easier when it's time to head home. When it comes time to unpack, freedomRail ensures you have a place for everything, helping you get settled quickly and effortlessly.
