How do you pack?

Are you an over packer?

If you are lucky enough to be making an escape from your home country for a few days then the chances are you will be boarding a flight with your bag. But if you’re sticking to a tight budget then you will probably be restricting yourself to just the one piece of carry-on luggage.

We all love to take advantage of cheap airfares but the downside to these low prices is that you are limited to some very stringent luggage restrictions. These include the amount of bags you can actually bring, the size of this bag and, due to tight airport security restrictions, what you can bring in it.

So how do you pack? Do you plan ahead and have everything washed and hanging in your closet a week before most people would even consider looking for their passport? Or are you still looking for those comfy walking shoes an hour before you have to leave for the airport? And what do you actually pack? Some people will have planned exactly what they are wearing for each day down to their socks and not bring a thing more. While others will throw in a mix and match collection along with many a ‘just in case’ top or pair of shoes.

So what kind of packer are you? Do you think that planning ahead eases the stress of travel and airports? Or is that all just part of the fun of it? Let us know what you think!
