It emphasizes rolling clothes instead of stacking to save space and reduce wrinkles, placing heavy items like shoes at the bottom of the suitcase, and using socks to fill gaps. For hand luggage, all liquids must be in a transparent, resealable 100ml bag, with a total capacity of one liter. E-cigarette liquids from brands like InnoCigs, Elfbar, or Geekvape must also be placed in this bag, and bottles should be tightly sealed to avoid leaks due to pressure changes. Electronic devices with lithium-ion batteries, including e-cigarettes with a 500 mAh battery, must be carried in hand luggage.

The article concludes that organized packing reduces travel stress and allows focus on cultural highlights such as art exhibitions in Berlin, concerts in Vienna, or road trips through Tuscany.
