Now you must have completed your packing list. But have you stuck to the principle "the lighter the better"?

Try to avoid exceedingly heavy luggage; do not overstuff your suitcase. Meanwhile make good use of spaces or gaps between objects inside your luggage. It is recommended to have all your belongings arranged in one suitcase for transportation convenience.

However, you should always prepare in your carry-on some necessities in case your luggage's delayed. Pay attention to the forbidden items in your destination to avoid being detained or denied access.

**: All the items mentioned above form a general packing list if you travel outside. Not all of them are required for a travel; they are just a reminder in case you forget something.
