So once everything has been ticked off the shopping list, what next? Leading online luggage retailers, Sportsdirect.com, offers up some top tips for making the most of any type of suitcase, for any type of holiday. Save room with miniatures. People rarely need a full bottle of shower gel when travelling abroad for less than a week; save room in the case by substituting family-sized bottles for miniature versions which can be easily rolled up in socks, or packed tightly into a compartment. Roll instead of fold. Although the majority of UK holidaymakers prefer to fold their clothes, rolling allows for more items to be packed into even the smallest of cases, and also prevent some items from creasing too much. Remove bulky packaging. Shoeboxes can be sacrificed; packing shoes and toiletries separately rather than altogether in packaging will not only allow extra room for essentials, but smaller itemsor items which can be worn creased such as underwear and socks, can be stuffed into shoes and wrapped up around bottles (handy for providing extra packaging for perfume bottles or make up).

packing heavier items such as beach towels, books and hair brushes in hand luggage will free up the weight allowance and room in the main suitcase. Optimise suitcase compartments. Many suitcases come with extra zip compartments for security and protection. Fill these with toiletries, chargers and items which require immediate access upon arrival. This can prevent toiletry spillages on clothing items, as well as making space in the main suitcase compartment.
