Flight attendant Adam Hodge, 35, based in Newcastle and working with Wizz Air for eight years, has disclosed a must-have item for all travelers that can optimize suitcase space. Hodge, who has journeyed to over 25 countries, is well-versed in providing top-notch service to passengers and knows the plane’s layout inside out, including the prime seating location.
Favoring destinations like Prague in the Czech Republic and Tirana in Albania, Hodge has accumulated valuable travel tips over the years. One of his key hacks involves the use of suitcase packing cubes, an essential he never travels without.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Hodge explained the practicality of packing cubes, describing them as compact pouches that keep belongings organized in the suitcase. These cubes efficiently store items like electronics, clothing, and footwear in separate compartments, allowing for a more efficient use of space. When not in use, the packing cubes can be flattened, occupying minimal room in the luggage.
Packing cubes are widely available at various retail outlets, including Primark and Asda, with a diverse selection also accessible on Amazon. Among the options are the ECOHUB Packing Cubes, a seven-piece set currently discounted to £26.99 from £34.99, and the Travel Packing Cubes, Toifucos Multifunction 8pcs, reduced to £10.19 from £15.99. Additionally, the Narwey 6 Set Compression Packing Cubes, featuring colorful designs, are on sale for £25.49, down from £29.99 on Amazon.
Furthermore, Hodge suggests using stackable pots for storing products like moisturizers and creams, offering a space-saving solution when luggage space is limited. These stackable pots can be purchased in sets from Amazon, including the Clear Plastic Round Storage Jar set priced at £9.99. Alternatively, travelers can opt for single Travel Cosmetic Jars, available for just £3.09 on Amazon.
