Flights are increasingly clamping down on hand luggage rules so it’s important to be clever when it comes to packing cabin baggage. With such strict size regulations, what you put into your bag - and how you put it in - can be key. One big problem when trying to pack concisely is that so many different items need to be squeezed in, increasing the likelihood of things getting messy. No one wants to turn up at their holiday destination with dirty clothes - and there’s one handy trick that will prevent this.
Flights: Always do this with clothes when packing hand luggage for your holidays
It’s become well known that folding clothes is the best way to pack clothing.
However, this won’t prevent them from getting dirty if they come into contact with other items in your bag.
Skyscanner has shared its top travel tips for packing hand luggage and one will help travellers when it comes to avoiding stains.
The flight comparison site suggests packing light-coloured clothes inside out to prevent any staining in transit.
This way, if they do get dirty, it will only be the inside that is stained and will - hopefully - not be visible when you wear the item the right way out.
Skyscanner also recommends putting disposable shows caps to good use.
