1) Shoe Shine

Use a hotel showercap to pack your shoes, stopping the rest of your clothes getting dirty.

2) Secret Stash

Keep some money concealed in an old lib balm tube in case you get robbed! Also, don’t get robbed!

5) Smart Packing

Follow the picture above to turn your socks into an epic pack hack.

6) Get To Grips With Queues

If there aren’t a lot of folk on your flight, let them all queue and board first – what’s the rush? Your seat is booked anyway!

If it’s a packed out flight though, get on their early or there won’t be any space left in your overhead locker.

7) Smart Booking

Book your flights during the week if possible. It’s a lot cheaper!

10) Google Maps Offline!

Before leaving your wifi zone, in a hotel or in your house, zoom in on a map you’re going to need for travelling, them type ‘ok maps’ into the search bar. This will then save the map for offline viewing!

Mind blown? Yup. And ten points for anyone who can recognise this map…

11) Adapter Frustration

Forgotten your adapter? Ask at hotel reception and there’s a good chance they’ll have one.

12) Extend Adapter Use

Bring one of these bad boys from your home country, and then one adapter becomes five times as useful!

13) USB Ports

If you are absolutely out of luck with adapters though, there may well be a USB port on the back of your TV where you can plug phones directly in. A last resort winner, this one.

14) Water Bottles

Bring an empty water bottle to the airport and fill it up when you’re through security. Save some cash!

15) Suitcase Inception

If you’ve got a large carry-on bag, put a smaller rucksack inside it and bring that out when on the plane, storing the larger back in the overhead locker.

18) Free Upgrade!

If you arrive at your hotel after about 5pm, most rooms will have been cleared by those leaving, and if you ask for a free upgrade on your room, there’s a good chance they’ll say yes. Trust us!

19) Silence Moaners

If someone next to you is talking too much, put in headphones or hit them on the nose with an in-flight menu!

20) Alcohol Miniatures

You’re actually allowed to bring these on the plane. Why not bring 20, a speaker and a confetti cannon to get the party started?!

21) Free Food

Instead of spending lots on airport food, why not steal it, or eat other traveller’s left overs out of a bin?!

22) Snakes on a Plane

If bored on board, explain the plot of Snakes on a Plane to your neighbour, and ask how likely he thinks it that you too will meet Samuel L. Jackon on your journey.

23) Okay, Maybe Ignore Those Last Few

Sorry. That got a bit out of hand. We need a rest now.
