Tie a sweater around your hips
“Go for mini-packaging or fill small bottles with your favorite beauty products-just as nice, but much more compact. Choose lightweight clothing that does not squeeze and roll everything up for maximum space in your hand luggage. Tip: Wear layers on the plane! Hang your jacket casually over your shoulders, tie a sweater around your hips, and pull your heavy hips.” – Kim Querfurth, fashion editor.
Saving space with vacuum storage bags

Tropical odors abroad
“Shampoo, conditioner, SPF, Bodywash and lotion I buy on the spot. That saves enórm in space and abroad they always have those delicious tropical scents. I roll clothes instead of folding. And you soon forget it, but the shoes that you take also fits a lot!” – Mariëlle Wisse, editor.

Soccer bag
“I swear by the Football bag essential 20 liter dark blue of the decatlon. Compact enough to be allowed to go on the plane for free, but spacious enough for about twenty items – yes, I have counted them. The very best? It only costs 7.99 euros. ” – Anouk de Groot, online coordinator.
Shoes, slippers in the bag
“Make sure you put on as many clothes as possible over each other, so you can take more with you. Did you know that a beach towel takes up less space than a large towel? And shoes on the plane, slippers in the bag! A hair dryer is often also unnecessary, since it is almost always present in a hotel or apartment.” – Marieke Pijlman, editor.
