I travel a lot and I do all of the above mentioned suggestions, my favorite being to roll all the clothes. On my last trip they lost one of our suitcases. We always have two small suitcases. One of my favorite packing tips that I always share with other travelers, is that each of our two suitcases is filled with half of my clothes and half of my husbands clothes. That way, when they lost one suitcase, we both still had clothes to wear. I also always pack one bathing suit and a pair of shorts in a very small carryon. That way, if they lose both of our suitcases, we will be at the pool enjoying an iced cold beverage while they sort it out.
