Five great hacks to master hand luggage packing and save serious cash on plane tickets
YOU can save serious cash on plane tickets by opting for hand luggage only. However, this can be tricky when you have to fit a lot of stuff into a small case. But there are a few tricks to master packing to avoid additional baggage fees. Here's what you need to know… LIST FIRST: Make a list of what you need. Keep it on your phone and quickly adapt it for each trip, says holiday expert Chelsea Dickenson. If you need a quick reminder of which toiletries to pack, she has created shoppable lists at as well as bundles for specific trips like hikes or festivals. DRESS TO COMPRESS: Packing cubes help flatten down your clothes. You can get an organiser bag with compression features for £5 from Flying Tiger. 'Not got a compression cube or just trying to squeeze in a few extra garments? Roll, don't fold. It saves so much space and means fewer wrinkles,' advises Chelsea. And look to fill all the gaps in your suitcase. Chelsea says: 'Socks go in shoes, belts line the edges, jewellery tucked into sunglass cases.' DECANT: Rather than buying expensive miniature toiletries to take on holiday, decant your favourite lotions and liquids into reusable travel containers. Also, make further savings by packing any beauty samples you receive as they are perfect for travels. PILLOW TALK: If you're seriously short on space, Chelsea says you could try taking the stuffing out of your travel pillow and fill it with socks, pants and even pyjamas. Fashion stylist reveals top packing tips for your next holiday - and fits everything in hand luggage- She adds: 'No one at the airport will know, and you've just bought yourself extra space in your case while still getting a comfy pillow.' CAP IT OFF: You should always pop shoes in bags, so dirty soles don't mark clean clothes. Or Chelsea suggests making the most of shower caps from hotels and popping them over your footwear.

Pabst Fans Get 'the Boot' with Timberland PRO Collaboration
Pabst and Timberland PRO are teaming up for a limited-edition line of boots and clothes. Plenty of beer and sneaker companies have collaborated, but what about beer and das boot? This natural step forward of a beer company collaborating with a boot company has been taken by Pabst Blue Ribbon and Timberland PRO®, which have debuted a limited-edition lineup of professional-grade footwear and apparel that can work both on the job or off duty. 'This collaboration came together prety naturally,' says Kata Mata, PBR's director of cultural marketing. 'Both Pabst and Timberland PRO saw a chance to team up around shared values like hard work and authenticity.' The clothing and boot line appeals to both fans of Pabst and Timberland PRO, she says. 'Our audiences have a lot of overlap,' she says. 'The idea to combine PBR's iconic look with Timberland PRO's trusted workwear to create something that felt true to both brands just made sense.' 'Partnering with Pabst Blue Ribbon allowed us to create a collection that's tough, comfortable, and made to honor the moment when the job's done and the boots stay on,' says Ryan Murphy, head of marketing for Timberland. The line includes several different, waterproof work boots, as well as clothing like t-shirts and hoodies, and costs run from $25 for a trucker cap to $185 for a pair of boots. The limited-edition line will be sold through July 31 or until they're sold out. Such a collaboration can be particularly effective with Gen Z and Millennial consumers, says Shopmium, as 60 percent of consumers in these generations report purchasing special edition releases. This also aligns with what Trendhunter reports as good opportunities for beer companies. 'Collaborations between beverage companies and fashion designers open up possibilities for cross-industry innovation,' Trendhunter reports, adding that there is industry implications. Other recent footwear and brew partnerships include Heineken and The Shoe Surgeon, Busch Light and Crocs, Fat Tire and Vans, Deschutes Brewery and Brooks Running, and Athletic Brewing Company and Kane Footwear. But none of these collaborations focused work boots, which is a very different market. There's 'no best' way to wear the new Timberland PRO boots, Mata says. 'Truly, you should wear them however they feel most like you,' she says. 'These boots are made to be worn — whether that's on the job, out in the elements or just part of your everyday style.' Since they're actually made for hard work, they're made to hold up to the work. 'Don't worry about keeping them too clean,' Mata says. 'Break them in, let them get beat up, and let them tell your story of who you are and what you do.' Both Timberland and Pabst had previously worked with different companies in their respective industries - Pabst with Nike and Timberland with Samuel Adams. Pabst also is collaborating with Hey Dude on a pair of sneakers this summer. 'This isn't Pabst's first time teaming up with a clothing or shew brand, but it's definitely the most exciting,' Mata says. 'And while Timberland has worked with a beer brand, this marks the first time Timberland PRO is partnering with a beer brand.' Mata says that this collaboration is authentic. 'We're speaking to a wide crowd, but especially those seasoned pros who show up every day, put in the work and know the value of quality whether it's in their boots or the beer they crack open after hours,' she says.
