Setting off for a holiday is undeniably exciting, but the ordeal of fitting everything into your luggage can certainly cause a headache. However, packing this year could be a lot easier, thanks to a technique shared by a crafty social media user who shares her travel hacks. A TikTok user, known as Devinjadex online, shared a video that revealed a trick enabling travellers to pack their entire wardrobe in a cabin bag. While some viewers were sceptical, she confidently showed off her technique. In her trending video, she mentions using a specific bag for her packing feat, and people “don’t believe” she can fit an entire wardrobe within. Nonetheless, she goes on to show herself fitting in all her travel essentials. To back up her statement, she posted footage of herself at the airport, easily stuffing her bag with all the necessities for her journey. The contents included clothing, underwear, swim gear, and toiletries. Jade brags that her belongings fit “perfectly” into the bag, which also fits neatly under the plane seat. Known as the Ryanair travel bag, it’s exactly 40x20x25, making it “perfect to take on budget airlines”. She shared that she bought the bag from Kono & Miss Lulu on TikTok. She highlights that one can pack “so much stuff” into the diminutive carry-on, finding it remarkably efficient. She says that this straightforward tactic permitted her to pack “everything she needed for a holiday” while sidestepping any extra charges, as Ryanair include one underseat bag free of charge with their flights. Jade’s clever packing method has sparked interest among her followers eager to learn more about this savvy travel tip. One follower expressed optimism: “I just ordered one – you better not be lying.” Another enthused: “Looks great – can really fit a lot in there.” A satisfied user corroborated Jade’s claim by sharing their own experience: “I have it – it fits. And mine was stuffed to capacity. Trust.” Nonetheless, some expressed doubts regarding the bag’s capacity, with a comment reading: “I’ve got the bag, and don’t feel like it fits this much in.” Another shared concern about weight: “Is it not really heavy to carry?”. Despite the few sceptical voices, a multitude praised Jade’s technique as “absolutely perfect”, and many planned to apply the hack for their upcoming trips, with some already having successfully used the strategy themselves. A content purchaser recounted her positive experience: “I have one of these recently, went to Spain for four days. Had all I needed – brilliant!”. Another supporter encouraged the disbelievers: “Everyone commenting that it won’t fit, trust me it will. I’ve got a bag similar size. I actually packed a little more than her, and mine surprised me and actually fit at EasyJet gate the other week.”
