Pro tip: the hostel owner in Lisbon said my packing cube setup was making me pay for bags
I was flying a budget carrier out of Lisbon and got hit with a 45 euro fee at the gate because my bag was too fat to fit the metal frame. The hostel owner watched me fight with it in the lobby and just said, stop rolling your clothes, lay them flat. I did not believe her at first. But I went back upstairs and pulled everything out of those cubes. Layered shirts and pants flat in the main pocket and stuffed socks and underwear into the shoe gaps. Next flight the same bag slid right into the sizer with room to spare. I have not paid a bag fee since. She also said to wear my heaviest jacket on the plane even in summer, which felt silly until I saw the savings add up. What is the one packing habit you changed after someone called you out?
