How to Travel Light: Simple Tips for Comfortable Trips

 

The art of traveling light: comfort, convenience, and savings packed into one bag. This article unveils the secrets to optimizing packing, minimizing luggage, and leveraging modern tools for travelers.

 

1. Make a List of Essentials

Planning is your best friend. Create a list of items you truly need based on the duration of your trip, weather conditions, and itinerary.

💡 Tip:

Check your list using the LuntanTravel app — open the "More" screen and use the handy checklist to ensure you don't forget anything.

 

2. Choose the Right Luggage

Carry-on luggage is an excellent choice for short trips. Plus, tickets without checked baggage are generally much cheaper. However, keep in mind the size and weight restrictions, which vary by airline. For English-speaking countries, most airlines allow carry-on luggage up to 22×14×9 inches and weighing 15–22 pounds, but exact limits depend on the carrier. Additionally, some items cannot be brought on board.

💡 With LuntanTravel:

LuntanTravel automatically finds the cheapest options, with no extra settings required. If you need checked baggage, use the "Only with Baggage" filter in the flight search results.

 

3. Packing Hacks to Save Space

Smart packing helps you bring everything you need, even if you're traveling with just carry-on luggage.

💡 Helpful ideas:

• Roll your clothes. This saves space and prevents wrinkles.
• Use organizers. They keep your items neat and accessible.
• Opt for multi-functional items. For instance, clothing suitable for various weather conditions.
• Optimize weight distribution. Place heavier items closer to the center of your bag for better balance.
• Use a soft laptop sleeve. Laptops are often exempt from carry-on restrictions, and a soft sleeve can be folded into your bag later.

 

4. Travel Without Extra Luggage

If your itinerary includes complex transfers, long waits, or visits to multiple countries, avoid carrying baggage everywhere.

💡 With Radical Storage:

LuntanTravel partners offer convenient baggage storage in hundreds of cities worldwide.

This is particularly useful in situations like:

• Leaving your hotel in the morning but your flight is in the evening.
• Having a layover and wanting to explore comfortably.
• Complex routes: for instance, leaving luggage at the main airport and exploring nearby countries luggage-free.

📍 You can book storage through LuntanTravel partners on the "More" screen.
