+1 we did this to Europe a few months ago. We were there for a week.

Packing cubes
rolled up socks, panties into extra pair of shoes
smaller toiletry bottles - I used contact lense cases
layer on the plane with a sweater and coat or whatever outwear you have[/quote]
Packing cubes are additional things to add to luggage. [b]Dumb to use.[/b] [/quote]

DCUM always brings its A game. Its not DUMB if it works for your packing style. DCUM is all about what I do is the only RIGHT way to do things. You do you. [/quote]

How is it right to add to one’s luggage when this thread is about reducing the luggage? Pack cubes, ice packs, curlers, shampoo, etc all you want but don’t recommend things that add more items to someone who is trying to reduce items. [/quote]

The packing cubes help limit what you can bring. Eg I travel with a 28 L backpack and know that it can fit 2 pairs of shoes, two medium sized packing cubes and a small packing cube. So all the clothes need to fit into these packing cubes.

BTW, I also bring another 25  L daypack that folds into a pocket for overflow, souvenirs, to use as a daypack that can be considered my personal item.

The packing cubes do not add much weight. I have Sea to Summit packing cubes that weigh a few ounces but even the ones on Amazon don’t weigh much.
