"I've been a travel editor for nearly a decade-and a travel enthusiast for far longer than that-so at this point, I feel quite comfortable calling myself a packing expert. I've checked bags on budget airlines and first-class flights, tested duffel bags and backpacks in every shape and size, and rolled carry-ons across more countries than I can count on my fingers and toes."
"If you're on a mission to stay a little more organized on your next trip, you've come to the right place, because I'm sharing my 15 golden rules of packing that I think every traveler should follow. Read on for my go-to tips and tricks to keep in mind as you gear up for your next journey. This article is part of Condé Nast Traveler's third annual Luggage Week, for which dozens of suitcases, backpacks, and weekender bags were road-tested by our editors."
Nearly a decade of travel editing and long-term travel experience produces practical packing expertise. Extensive testing of suitcases, backpacks, and weekender bags informs recommendations. Fifteen golden rules of packing emphasize organization, intentionality, and learning from travel mistakes. Start packing days before departure by removing luggage from storage and building deliberate clothing and accessory piles about a week ahead. Create a "morning of" checklist for last-minute essentials like a toothbrush, phone charger, water bottle, and hairbrush to prevent forgetfulness. Avoid leaving packing to the night before to reduce the risk of forgetting important items under time pressure.
