Rolling your clothes is a widely favoured space-saving trick — but this alternative method may actually prove more effective. The KonMari folding technique, made famous by Mari Kondo, involves folding garments into neat rectangles that can be stood upright alongside one another in your suitcase, maximising every inch of available space.

It’s also worth ditching bulky toiletries such as shampoo and body wash, since most hotels provide them free of charge. If you’re heading overseas for an extended period, consider simply purchasing these essentials upon arrival to free up room in your luggage.

Alternatively, many hotels are happy to accept online deliveries prior to your stay, meaning you can arrange for your bathroom necessities to arrive before you do. It’s a straightforward way to pack lighter and avoid lugging along products you may never even use.

Jewellery and cable organisers are also well worth investing in. These handy accessories will keep your belongings secure and tangle-free, saving you from frantically rummaging through your suitcase to find what you need.
