Once the euphoria passes for finally booking that well-deserved holiday, next comes the not-so-fun bit - the dreaded packing. Organisation is key and making use of every inch in your luggage could save you up to £70, simply by swapping hold-luggage for hand-luggage.
It is more than just saving money. Hand-luggage is not prone to getting lost, unlike hold-luggage where suitcases can go missing, sometimes for weeks’ on end. According to the Guardian, the rate of baggage mishandled across the world has risen by 24% last year.
This equates to eight suitcases per 1,000 international passengers not arriving on time. To help sun-seekers avoid forking out on baggage that might not even make it to its destination, a new pack hack revealed by On the Beach shows how holidaymakers could save up to £70 per person every time they jet off abroad by ditching their suitcases, for free-of-charge carry-on bags.
