So we already know who the best travelers are, but who packs the most efficient and (in these days of airline luggage mega-charges) the lightest suitcase? Some interesting end-of-week statistics from 600 travelers from Holiday Extras to chew over;
– Yes women are more guilty of over-packing than men but 80% of men claim to return from vacation with more than 20% of their clothes unworn.
– Women typically return with only 10% of their clothes unworn.
– Pretty much as you’d expect, 25% of women packed from four to nine pairs of shoes in their luggage. And 7% even managed to pack ten pairs of shoes!
– Not surprising, 92% of men only took three or less pairs of shoes on vacation.
– More than half of men and women admitted that they packed more footwear than was actually needed. Never heard of a capsule wardrobe?
