This is a basic one, but rolling your clothes before packing it in the suitcase saves A LOT of your space. It also decreases the creasing of clothes, and it was way easier to find your clothes when they are rolled vs when they are piled up in folds in the suitcase. You will find a lot of extra areas in your luggage after rolling & you can use it to pack other things.
 
Leave half of your clothes at home –
 
We all know we pack things that aren’t needed. A lot of times, A LOT more clothes than we know we’re actually going to wear. I’ve been guilty of doing that on almost every trip I’ve been to. So do not pack the clothes that you know you won’t wear. This will give you a lot more space than you anticipated.
