Avoid Extra Luggage Fees: Teleclass Teaches the Secrets of Organized Packing

CARY, N.C. -- Have you ever sat on your suitcase to get the zipper shut? Do you find yourself cramming your suitcase because you're "just not sure" what you'll need? As airlines continue to raise baggage fees, packing efficiently is more important than ever. 

Professional Organizer Janice Russell shares the secrets of organized packing in her new teleclass, "How to Pack So You Can Avoid Luggage Fees."

"These days, many airlines charge you to check any bag -- not to mention the fees for overweight bags. From tips to the porter to tired arms, those who overpack pay for it in many ways," said Russell, Overseer of Order at Minding Your Matters Organizing.® "Organizing your suitcase is about learning what to pack so you have only what you need and want while traveling."

The one-hour teleclass will take place Thursday, June 23 at noon EDT. For those who can't attend live, a downloadable recording will be available.

In the class, Russell will share:

• What factors lead to overpacking so they can be avoided
• The perfect formula for how many clothes to pack so that you have enough but not too much
• The steps to a perfectly packed suitcase
• How to pack for a four-day business conference and not check a suitcase
• How to pack when the allowed weight is less than 50 pounds
• And more!

Best of all, the class is only $17 -- less than the cost of a checked bag. Registration is available now at: http://mymorg.eventbrite.com/

"The problem with packing is the fear of not having what you need or want," Russell said. "But with some simple steps, I can show you how to make sure it's all there and all fits -- without having to sit on the suitcase lid."
