Master Carry-On Packing: The 'Bundle Method' for Two-Week Europe Trips

Travellers planning a two-week, carry-on-only trip to Europe can benefit from the 'bundle packing method'. This technique, recommended by Doug Dyment and Reddit users, prevents creased clothing and maximises suitcase space.

The method involves 'bundling', where clothing is wrapped around a central core, often a packing cube filled with underwear and socks. Start with bulkier items and alternate their orientation for a snug fit. This not only saves space but also reduces wrinkling when done properly.

To make the most of this method, consider bundling by outfit. This helps avoid overpacking by carefully planning what to wear each day. However, it may not be ideal for frequent hotel changes due to the need to unwrap and rewrap bundles.

To use the bundle packing method effectively, avoid packing items that could trigger a TSA search. With careful planning and execution, this method can optimise your luggage for a two-week, carry-on-only European vacation, keeping your clothes crease-free and your suitcase space-efficient.
