Smart Travel Hacks: Tips for Packing Electronics in Carry-On Luggage

Experienced traveler Chelsea, who manages The Cheap Holiday Expert account, shared her life hack for packing electronics in a single carry-on bag. This trick is helpful for budget-conscious tourists.

This simple tip prevents items from getting lost in luggage. DailyStar discusses the best way to organize luggage and where to store gadgets.

On social media, she posted a video demonstrating how she packs a Patagonia sports bag. Although this item has a capacity of 45 liters, it was sold out. An alternative is a 2-in-1 backpack from Lululemon with similar features, the editorial points out.

Chelsea mentioned that she packed her ski suits using vacuum bags. This method allowed her to fit her carry-on luggage for a three-day trip.

Regarding toiletries, Chelsea packed all liquids in separate bottles, and she also transferred her toothpaste into a small container.

Chelsea's secret to organizing electronics is using an organizer where she keeps all the necessary items. She also carries a universal adapter, which she believes helps save space in her luggage.

It's worth noting that Chelsea uses a Cocoon GRID-IT organizer, measuring 7.25 x 9.25 inches, priced at £12.95.

This item features elastic bands that can hold charging cables, headphones, adapters, or hard drives. With this setup, the necessary cables remain untangled, and the organizer's design serves as a partition for her carry-on luggage.

In the video, Chelsea can be seen packing a laptop into the bag.

"We still have some space left, but I intentionally left it for a good reason. The laptop goes in here," she explained.

One reader mentioned receiving the same organizer as a gift from Secret Santa.

"It just saves you from having to search for items at the bottom of your bag," he said.

"Useful for keeping electronic devices together, easy to access and use, but it's a bit heavy, and that can make a difference when flying on a low-cost, carry-on only flight," wrote another user.

For those looking to pack their luggage compactly, the editors recommend considering the Hosoncovy Power Bank Case, an organizer bag where you can store all necessary items, batteries, disks, and more.

Also worth considering are the Eono 3/4/6 Set Compression Packing Cubes (£18.69), which help reduce luggage space by 40%.

Kipsta and Narwey 20-liter duffle bags, priced between £6 and £11, are perfect as carry-on luggage and will help organize your belongings during your trip.

Take a look at the Kono Carryon backpack for £29.99 and the Tanness Cabin Bag with adjustable shoulder strap for £14.99.
