Nice, an article in The Times with ten tips for a perfectly packed suitcase: “Be strict. Think of your trip as a set of events — the pub lunch, the beach day, the city sights — and remember what you wore last time to these places. You know what you really wear and what you don’t — if you pack an extra four shirts “just in case”, you’ll only make your case heavier and have to iron the clothes again on your return.” Read them all.

In short:

1. Hard case — rectangular, not square — with internal elasticated bands.
2. Don’t pack for ‘just in case’
3. Make a list of all items in the case, so you can check them and forget nothing.
4. Start packing trousers
5. Next (T-) shirts.
6. Fold in the trousers and on top jackets.
7. Shoes (in a plastic bag) and ties and belts in empty slots.
8. Strap it all.
9. You could pack in a bundle.
10. Never overpack.
