The Best Packing Cubes For Beginner Travelers
Must-have accessories for people who love to be organized.
The key to a great first trip is organization. Having your ID, tickets, cash, and everything else where you can quickly find it makes a big difference, and the same is true of your clothes. That's where a good set of packing cubes comes in.

Get cubes with either a mesh panel or clear plastic panel, to quickly see what's packed where and in the case of the mesh, offer some breathing room.

That said, waterproofing can be useful if you'll be on a boat, or just worried your luggage might get soaked.

Check the weight as well, since you'll be pulling these around terminals and lobbies, and lower weight means less fatigue.

If you need to squeeze a lot into a small bag, compression cubes will help you pack more, more tightly.

Cubes that fold or can be tucked away are perfect for longer trips, where you can scoot them away while leaving your suitcase free for other tasks.
