TikTok user @atrevetebyrosy has offered her followers valuable advice on how to pack efficiently for a trip to Cuba, highlighting the benefits of compression bags. While these bags don’t reduce the weight, they do optimize space.
"When I'm packing for my trip to Cuba, the most frequent question I get is whether these bags actually help. They won't make your suitcase lighter, that's something you need to keep in mind, but they will reduce the space inside," Rosy explained in her video. She emphasized that using these bags not only helps organize your luggage better but also prevents the suitcases from looking overstuffed.
In her video, she shared additional tips on how and where to place items she always takes to Cuba, such as blankets or towels. "The space you save by using these bags can be used for those items that don't weigh much but take up a lot of space," she added.
Moreover, she recommended making the most out of carry-on luggage, especially when flying with an airline that doesn't weigh it.
