The summer season is in full swing, and with it, holidaymakers in August are gradually taking over from the Julyites, whether on the roads, the railways or in the air. The essential suitcase, whether equipped with wheels or not, remains the faithful companion of our summer adventures, allowing us to take our small city comforts to our holiday destinations.

A trick that could save you precious time and allow you to quickly find your belongings once disembarked. So don’t hesitate to adopt this tip on your next trip for an even more serene holiday experience!
