Pack smart
Checked bag fees are no fun, nor is trying to cram an overstuffed carry-on into the overhead compartment. ‘Limit the number of shoes you bring. These take up the most space in your suitcase,’ an American Airlines flight attendant told Thrillist. ‘Then, fold all jeans and pants as you normally would and roll them up, placing them on top of the shoes next to each other. Then do the same for shirts. Lastly, all underwear and socks go on the top or in empty crevices.’ Try it, it works!
