PACKING TIPS
..............................................................................................................

Only take what you can carry yourself. How you prefer to carry it should determine which bag(s) to take. If you'll be bringing home more than you brought, pack a lightweight, collapsible bag.

• Each airline has its own rules about traveling with infants, electronic equipment and carry on luggage. To avoid hassles, have them FAX you the specifics ahead of time.

• Save space by transferring shampoo and lotions into small Travel Bottles. Be sure to leave some room inside the bottles to accommodate for air pressure and avoid leakage.

• Select clothing using basic color palettes that may be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits.

• Group like items together in Packing Cubes or Mesh Packers for wrinkle prevention and instant access.

• Take prescription medicines in the original containers & take along prescriptions for anything you can’t live without. This includes glasses, hearing aids, dentures and medications.

• Be a proud Canadian; wear a Canadian Flag t-shirt, jacket, hat or socks.

In general, rolling clothes (instead of folding) and packing tightly helps avoid wrinkles. Placing suits dresses and skirts in plastic dry-cleaner bags limits wrinkling as well. Pack half of your stuff and half your travel partners stuff in each bag in case one bag goes missing.
