<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFirst, make a list of what you think you absolutely need. This helps you organize and prioritize. Then, edit that list! An important rule to consider is \u2018do I *really* need this?\u2019 Second, learn the hand baggage rules for the airline you\u2019re flying. On Turkish Airlines flights, Economy Class passengers are permitted a single piece of hand baggage, with a maximum size of 23x40x55 cm and a weight of 8 kg. If you are traveling in Business Class, you may carry two pieces of hand baggage, each with a maximum size 23x40x55 cm and weight of 8 kg. If you\u2019re flying on another airline, check their website for baggage rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather and clothing: Unfortunately, you will wear again what you have worn once<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-1066456352-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe climate and current weather conditions in your destination are an obvious determinant of what you\u2019ll bring. Find out what the weather\u2019s like, and select your wardrobe accordingly. A pair of shoes, a pair of pants, 2 t-shirts, a pullover or a sweater, pajamas or track pants, underwear. Bring pieces you like, because you\u2019ll be wearing them more than once. While we\u2019re not attached to color or pattern coordination, bringing items in the same color line does make it easier to mix and match. Add a small bag with travel-size toiletries, and keep in mind that most places have shops where you can buy toothpaste, shampoo, etc.!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe \u201cone pair of shoes, one coat, one cardigan\u201d philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Packing](\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-1049303604-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe understand that it is difficult to narrow down items to pack, especially when it comes to shoes. Most items can be easily purchased in another place \u2013 shoes are, somehow, more difficult. But flying light requires some sacrifices. No more than two pairs of shoes are really necessary: in winter, the additional pair is useful if your first pair gets wet. In summer, it\u2019s nice to alternate between walking shoes and sandals. Also, consider packing lightweight slippers\/flip flops, for wearing around your hotel room and in the shower. Fortunately for travelers everywhere, comfortable and stylish sneakers are suitable footwear for most outfits. For outerwear, choose something versatile and comfortable. If you\u2019re bringing scarves or hats, wear the thicker one on the plane and pack the lightweight items. Airports can be overheated \u2013 but planes get cold. You can use your scarf as an extra layer during the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nSmall spaces, more things, the art of folding clothes and organizing a bag, and the exciting world of liquids!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere have been books written on how to fold garments. From rolling each item, to folding alternating thick and thin items, to using packing cubes\u2026really, it\u2019s an endless discussion. Our position is that you probably know what works best for you. We will say that packing cubes can be extremely useful. As well, soft, transparent bags for toiletries are useful because they both adapt to the spaces in your bag and can be easily removed during baggage checks. Prioritize your toiletries: if you have items that aren\u2019t easily replaceable, go ahead and bring them; just remember that all liquids must be in containers that hold a maximum volume of 100 ml per container, and that the total volume of liquids cannot exceed one liter.\u00a0 For more details<\/a>, please visit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
