Woman reveals clever way to fit more in your carry on – & cabin crew love it

A WOMAN has revealed how she fits extra clothes into a full bag – and her simple trick is loved by flight attendants too.

The mum-of-one revealed how she uses vacuum pack bags to optimise space in her hand luggage.

While it might be a great way to squeeze more into a small rucksack when packing at home, users were eager to know how she re-packed the bags at the end of her trip.

Kayleigh posted a follow-up video on TikTok in response to the user’s question.

She said: “[Here] is the ultimate travel hack for those who are not light packers, but want to bring a carry on or fit more in their bag.”

In the video, Kayleigh showed users a small white appliance, which she proceeded to plug into a bedside lamp.

She then opened the seal on her vacuum pack bags, turned on the appliance and used the gadget to take the air out of her vacuum pack bags.

One flight attendant was quick to praise the packing tip in the comments.

They wrote: “I’m a Flight Attendant, thank you.”

One person revealed how they’d used the same travel vacuum to pack their pillow into their hand luggage.

Others pointed out that some hotel rooms are equipped with vacuums – for those who don’t want to buy a miniature version.

If you do, the portable vacuum is on sale at Amazon from £14.00.

Travel expert, Lydia Mansel, who runs the site Just Packed, recommends writing a packing list at least two weeks before travelling to avoid bringing obsolete items.

The main packing hack, which is loved by all seasoned travellers is packing cubes, as they keep your outfits organised in your suitcase.

Here are some of the other packing tips we’ve rounded up before you next go on holiday.
