Mark Drusch, Chief Supplier Relations Officer for CheapOair has packing down to an art form.
"Always pack extra essentials (underwear, socks) and extra shirts, clothes (pants/skirts) that can be all be mixed and matched with one another," he says.
"On short trips, try to pack clothes that require only one or two pairs of shoes and for men, a single color of socks. As sleep is important when traveling, make room for anything that will make sleeping easier (favorite pillow, blanket or sleepwear). Keep extra mouthwash and toothpaste and cell phone charger in carry-on bags, in case you need to access them while in the airport or onboard. Don't forget to check the weather at your destination to determine whether you should pack a compact umbrella."
