Traveling abroad on budget airlines has gradually become a popular choice for Taiwanese travelers. The 10-kilogram luggage limit puts packing skills to the test. Don’t bring unnecessary items—consumables can often be bought locally, leaving more room, especially if you’ve been planning a major shopping trip. Below are Business Insider’s report on “Proper Luggage Packing Techniques,” because the lighter your luggage, the more enjoyable your trip will be.

1. Clothing Freshener
Wet clothes can often make the entire suitcase smell bad. Placing a clothing freshener packet in your luggage can help reduce the odor.

2. Use a Binder Clip
Secure your razor with a binder clip to avoid accidentally cutting your fingers while searching for items.

3. Use Two Bags and Pack in Moderation
Pack toiletries in two separate bags to prevent spills, and don’t overpack cleaning supplies—you can buy them at your destination.

4. Keep Your Luggage Light

5. Roll socks and stuff them inside your shoes to save space
