I'm a travel expert - there's a £1.50 supermarket item that you should always pack to maximise space in your luggage
Packing luggage can sometimes be the most stressful part of a holiday for tourists. It's often difficult to balance overpacking, sticking to the baggage weight limit and making sure to bring enough clothes for the trip. In fact, 58 per cent of Brits experience 'Packing Induced Travel Stress', according to research by ASDA Money. This is the panic some tourists feel when packing for their holiday, with expensive checked baggage fees on their mind. But one travel expert, Jamie Fraser at Wild Packs American Summer Camp, has a solution to help maximise space in luggage. He recommends tourists pack laundry detergent sheets, which are just £1.49 at Wilko. Jamie explains how travellers could avoid overpacking and instead, wash the clothes they bring with the detergent sheets on the go. 'Lots of clothing items can be reused and are easy to wash simply by using the sink in your accommodation and some laundry detergent sheets,' he says. 'Laundry detergent sheets are perfect to include in your suitcase compared to overpacking with clothes and risking an overweight luggage fee.' Lightweight and affordable, the sheets are a perfect way to freshen up a holiday wardrobe while keeping luggage low. Jamie adds: 'Costing less than £2 at certain stores like Wilko, detergent sheets take up barely any room, weigh next to nothing, and are perfect for freshening up clothes throughout your trip. 'Unlike liquid or powdered detergent, these sheets won't leak or cause issues at airport security.' The expert reveals how the simple hack can reduce the amount travellers need to pack massively. Jamie shares: 'Bringing a few detergent sheets means you can halve the amount of clothing you pack and simply wash and rewear as needed. 'Even on longer trips, it's possible to manage with just a carry-on, which is a huge bonus considering checked baggage fees can be as high as £65, depending on which airline you use.' Jamie describes exactly how to wash clothes in a sink and recommends completely submerging the items in water and adding the sheet. He advises to stir the water until the sheet has dissolved and work the soapy water through the garments before soaking for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, Jamie advises rinsing with clean water before pressing out any excess water. He says to 'avoid wringing' and to then allow the items to dry out.

Michael O'Leary says Ryanair summer bookings remain strong
Ryanair is seeing strong demand across Europe with bookings ahead of last year, and is "reasonably optimistic" about hitting its summer targets, chief executive Michael O'Leary said in an interview on Thursday. He also praised Boeing for agreeing to deliver some jets earlier than scheduled, ending a run of delays that have curbed Ryanair's growth rate. Advertisement "We're seeing strong bookings through the peak summer months ... The fares are holding up," O'Leary said, adding that bookings were about 1 per cent ahead of the same point last year. He repeated a forecast from July that average fares were likely to recover almost all of a 7 per cent decline seen in the July-September quarter last year, when Ryanair was hit by consumer caution and a dispute with some online travel agents. Hitting the summer target will depend on close-in bookings for the remainder of the airline's key second quarter, which ends on September 30th, he said. There has been no sign of consumers changing their plans due to heatwaves this summer, O'Leary added. But he warned that US tariffs would ultimately act as a drag on global growth. Advertisement "I think everybody is cautious at the moment, and we're right to be cautious," he said. Boeing, which is due to deliver the final 29 aircraft of Ryanair's current order of 737 Max jets this winter, has agreed to deliver seven jets in August and seven in September, ahead of an earlier-agreed schedule. "Boeing are doing a terrific job," O'Leary said. He was speaking in Tirana, where he announced a doubling of capacity to four million passengers per year with the basing of three aircraft at the airport from next April. He described Albania as a hidden jewel of the Adriatic. Advertisement Ryanair, Europe's largest airline by passengers, also announced plans to increase capacity serving Sweden by 25 per cent for this winter, adding eight new routes, after the country scrapped its aviation tax at the beginning of last month. That will add to pressure on local rivals such as SAS and Norwegian Air. Ryanair chief marketing officer Dara Brady called on Sweden also to freeze airport charges and potentially offer additional incentives for growth, saying this could allow Ryanair to double its Swedish traffic by 2030. "The market is well capable of growing significantly here over the next number of years," Brady told a news conference.

Why parents should book holidays during ‘magic week'…when trips drop to HALF PRICE

As a travel writer and mum-of-two, I call this 'magic week'. When the kids are off school, life often gets more hectic with parents looking for ways to keep the kids entertained. Six weeks can feel like a long stretch. However, now we are halfway through, if you are anything like me, things have fallen into step and finally starting to feel a bit calmer.
