Daypacks and duffel bags for easy-access - Packing tip

by Raizza Reyes (RSS feed) on Apr 18th 2010 at 1:55PM

Use comfortable, soft-sided bags, such as gym bags, small daypacks, or duffel bags for easy-access and lightweight portability on a trip -- just make sure to sort out your belongings properly inside the bag.

To maximize comfort and ease, find a duffel bag that has a wide opening with easy slide zippers and an adjustable strap. This will help reduce the strain of carrying a big suitcase.

In addition to increased comfort, duffel bags offer other advantages, as well. First, you won't have to worry and wait around the terminal for your suitcase to show up at the baggage claim. Second, duffel bags can be tucked under your airline seat, shoved into overhead compartments, and opened quickly and easily during security checks.

Very true! They really do seem more manageable when it comes to light packing being that they can conform to small compartments
