How do you pack for a family of four in one suitcase?
Packing cubes are a great solution for those who are traveling with a family of four in one suitcase. Using packing cubes allows for you to compress garments together to allow for more space in the suitcase, as well as keep each individual garment separate in its own space within the suitcase.
We also recommend bringing a drawstring bag to store underwear and/or dirty clothing.
And for those really looking to save on space, vacuum-sealed bags are another great way to go.
What brand of luggage is the most durable?
Experts often recommend Samsonite, Travelpro, and Rimowa as the most durable luggage brands.
Traditionally, hard-shell luggage is the most durable (and expensive) type of luggage – specifically aluminum hard-shell luggage. While it is a huge investment, this luggage has been built to last you on all your escapes both in Australia and abroad.
