00:00 In response to the chaos of travel these days, many travellers like Phil Dengler, co-founder
00:05 of The Vacationist, says, "Only check a bag if it is absolutely necessary."
00:10 Though travelling with hand luggage only is easier said than done in most cases.
00:16 Dengler continues, "I avoid checking a bag because it is often more expensive, and the
00:21 risk of it getting lost or delayed is too high.
00:24 This strategy saves me money and decreases my stress when flying."
00:28 So how do we unpack the hacks of packing light?
00:32 HuffPost reports, "Other than wearing on the flight your largest footwear and coat, and
00:37 optimising your additional personal item, you'll need to adopt the expectation to wear
00:43 everything you bring."
00:44 Gabby Beckford, a self-proclaimed "carry-on only" queen, also suggests you stick to a
00:49 colour scheme to mix and match as much as you need.
00:53 And if you can, opt for accommodation with a washer and dryer to do exactly that.
00:59 Roll your clothes instead of folding them, choose lightweight materials, and speaking
01:04 of lightweight, make sure your luggage weight itself is too.
