Wondering why your flights seem more expensive compared to your friend’s? This is because most airlines and travel sites use cookies to record your visits, which can some way increase prices simply because you’ve searched for it before! Next time you’re booking a flight, switch to private browsing.

If your 4-day planned OOTDs do not fit into your luggage, worry not! Rolling your clothes frees up more space compared to when you stack them up. It’s all about strategy here-- ‘lock’ your clothes in itself to prevent them from opening up for a tighter wrap. Here’s a more detailed how-to.

As much as possible, try not to check in all of your luggage, especially when your bag can fit snugly under your seat. There is always a possibility of losing your belongings, and even getting the bag itself disfigured. Plus, carrying your bags on your own saves more time since you can go your way immediately after the flight instead of waiting at the baggage carousel.


Plug your Gadgets in your Hotel TV

Forgot to bring an adaptor, or travelling to a country that uses a different electrical socket? Charge your gadgets instead using the TV at your accommodation! Modern TVs usually have USB ports at the back or the side where you can easily plug your devices.

Yup, only the bottle. Airports nowadays have firm restrictions on liquids in flight. Bringing your own water bottle means you can refill it right after your flight, so you don’t have to walk around looking for a beverage, and can even pass up on oftentimes overpriced airport products.
