A jaunt to the other side of the world is exciting, no doubt about that. But anyone who's ever wrestled with a bulging suitcase knows it can also be stressful. Here are some tips to help you pack like a pro, keeping things neat and easy to find:

• Prepare a Checklist: Make a packing list well before your trip. This helps you avoid last-minute packing panics and ensures you don't forget anything important.
• Maximise Space: Use packing cubes to keep your clothes compact and your suitcase organised. They make it easier to find what you need without disrupting everything else. Dedicate each cube to a type of clothing—like tops in one, bottoms in another, and so on.
• Power Up with a Portable Charger: A powerbank keeps your phone and other devices juiced up, especially on long journeys or layovers with limited outlets. Look for one with USB ports, and make sure to bring USB-C cables to charge multiple devices.
• Zip It Up: Always double-check that your zippers are closed properly to avoid any suitcase explosions in the airport.
• Prepare for In-flight Boredom: Pack Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds, for listening to music or watching movies.
• Double-Check Your Carry-on: Pack a change of clothes, your toothbrush, and any medications you need in your carry-on bag. This way, if your checked luggage gets delayed, you'll have what you need until it arrives. Don’t forget to pack a travel blanket to stay cosy on the plane or some earplugs to block out cabin noise.
• Label Your Luggae: A sturdy luggage tag with your contact information helps lost luggage find its way back to you.
• Plan for Peace of Mind: Always have backups of important documents and digital copies saved online.

For the most hassle-free trip, make sure to pre-order your travel needs on Laneway at least 24 hours before landing at Melbourne Airport. It's simple, fast, and lets you skip the hassle of last-minute shopping or panicking at the airport because your charger doesn’t fit into the outlet.
