THE countdown for our summer holidays is on – and a travel fan revealed a “game-changing” hack when it comes to packing smart.
This simple hack can save you paying expensive luggage fees and avoid being slapped with baggage fees at the gate.
Marissa, who posts under @marissaleeannrose, took to TikTok to share her packing hack.
She revealed a large pile of clothes including jumpers, sweaters, jeans, trousers and tops.
Marissa said: “When I tell you compression packing cubes are such a huge game changer, when you’re traveling out of a backpack.”
The clip then cuts to all her clothing compressed neatly into three packing cubes.
It’s the perfect solution when you are limited to taking a small bag on a flight.
Numerous retailers have dropped their own brand packing cubes as the summer season kicks off.
Irish retailer Dunnes Stores have a selection of packing cubes available in two different colours.
The travel must-haves will help you make the most of space in your suitcase and ensure no holiday favourites are left behind.
The handy packing cubes, available in pink or navy, come in a pack of six different size cubes.
The large cube is ideal for compressing bulky items including jeans, jumpers or towels.
Organise shorts, skirt, tops or swimwear in the medium size cube.
And the smaller rectangle cube is perfect for toiletries or make up.
An essential on every getaway are wash bags for storing dirty clothes.
The shoe bag is perfect for trapping in odours and keeping your suitcase fresh.
Some of the bags feature a breathable mesh to keep garments fresh.
Dunnes Stores chiefs said the packing cubes are a “must-have” for anyone traveling this summer.
They said: “In a range of sizes, these set of six packing cubes make packing hassle-free.
“They include a wash bag, shoe bag, and several mesh bags which will allow you to see their contents at a glance.
“A must-have for the regular traveller.”
