Women perfect holiday packing

Women taking flights to India may be taking just the right amount of clothing in their suitcase, according to a new survey.Research by HolidayExtras.com concluded it is often men that pack too much in their baggage and therefore return with a number of items never being worn.In total, 64 per cent of men returned home with 20 per cent of their clothes unworn, compared to 54 per cent of women.

However, when it came to packing shoes, women did tend to over pack. Most men took up to three pairs of footwear in their luggage, but 26 per cent of ladies took between four and nine pairs and seven per cent admitted to taking more than ten different sets of shoes.

Michele Betzner, a fashion and beauty expert for HolidayExtras.com, advised travellers to consider limiting their clothing choices and instead opt for co-ordinating colours which can be mixed with a variety of accessories.

People taking cheap flights to India could benefit from the new 120-acre terminal at the Indira Gandi International Airport in New Delhi.
