One in three travellers admit they have no idea how to pack a suitcase efficiently.
A poll of 2,000 people found 26 per cent have resorted to sitting on their suitcase to close it and 11 per cent have faced baggage weight penalties.
More than half (56 per cent) have suffered a packing disaster as a result, such as broken zips (21 per cent) and toiletries leaking (20 per cent).
Another packing frustration is crumpled clothes, with 64 per cent willing to do anything to avoid clothes getting creased whilst travelling.
And 76 per cent would ‘love it’ if they could unpack a suitcase and find nothing inside needed ironing.
In response to these findings, Lenor Crease Releaser, which commissioned the survey, has worked with former A Place in the Sun presenter and expert packer, Danni Menzies to share her top tips for savvy packing.
