1.The first and fore most thing is to prepare a check list consisting of the list of items we need for the trip.
2.Ensure that all the items in the list are packed in appropriate bags and suitcases.

4.Air pillows are very much important during travel.Carry appropriate pillow covers too to avoid accumulation of dust.
5.It is good to carry more number of plastic covers and polythene bags as they can be used to dump the used clothes.This way we can avoid mixing the used clothes with the new ones.
