Many people will be taking their first trip (or flight) this Summer.

Have you forgotten how to pack?

Never fear…the NY Post has some great packing tips from flight attendants, who do it for a living:

Make a list  Ever done this before?  Us, neither!  You’re less likely to forget something if you do and it saves time.

Don’t fold, roll  Your clothes, that is…It’s a space-saver and lets you pack things tightly without leaving creases.

Be versatile  You can’t pack everything so choose stuff that can be dressy or not and can work in a variety of situations like jeans and T-shirts.

Leave some room  Especially if you plan to shop…don’t pack your bag to hit the airline’s 40-pound limit exactly.  Shoot for 39 pounds or less.

Go heavy  Wear your heaviest items if possible, like your coat or heavy shoes.

Don’t be too prepared  Go easy on the “just in case” items…that’s usually why people over-pack.  So try to only bring stuff you know you’ll use.

Alright…let’s book that flight! ✈
