People heading to property in Florida might want to heed the advice of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) when it comes to packing.
The organisation recommends packing light – and lists a number of benefits of doing so.
For instance, part-filling travel-sized bottles with shampoo and conditioner, rather than filling them to the top, could prevent them from exploding in the low-pressure environment of an aeroplane's cargo compartment.
Scented toiletries could be all that is needed to add a fragrance to those staying in property in Florida, meaning no need to take separate perfumes on the long-haul flight.
Folding two items of clothing around one another in a kind of open S shape is a useful way to avoid creases and wrinkles, ASTA adds.
Similar advice is given by holiday comparison site travelsupermarket.com, which advises leaving behind anything that may not be needed and simply buying supplies at the destination as necessary.
