Few things in this world are as satisfying as a well-packed suitcase. Words by Kirrily Schwarz
Aldi is taking your organisational dreams to the next level, launching its new ‘Love at First Flight’ Special Buys. The range will hit stores on Wednesday, May 31.

There’s a whole lot of good stuff available, and we’ll get to that in a moment, but the top of the list has to be the six-pack of travel organisers you can pick up for just $9.99. There are six assorted sizes to ensure you can stay organised while saving as much space as possible. Two have zip closures, while four have drawstrings, and you can pick them up in grey, beige, or blue. Take another look at the photo at the top of this article. Is that not one of the most calming things you’ve seen today?

Best of all, they’ve separated all the most annoying things. Gone are the days of tangled cables snaking through your bag – or worse, missing in its depths. No more shuffling through loose undergarments at airport security, wishing you’d packed something nicer. The battle of separating laundry from wearable items is over.

The catch is the toiletry bag – the one in the pack definitely won’t do. Luckily, Aldi has you sorted on that front as well, offering a travel toiletry bag with all the trimmings for just $14.99. It comes with multiple zippered compartments, as well as a portable hanging hook, with generous 22cm x 26cm x 5cm dimensions.

Another great deal is the hard-shell luggage. It’s made from a tough plastic polymer, which means it’s lightweight and durable. It has a 52L capacity, which arguably is the perfect size for overseas holidays: it’s big enough to take everything you need, but not so big that you start taking liberties with your baggage weight limit.
After all, no-one really needs 12 shirts for a week-long getaway, nor do we really need four pairs of shoes. It’s available in charcoal or beige for $69.99.

The Special Buys also include a rolling duffel bag, which is slightly smaller with soft sides that make it ideal for local adventures and road trips. It has a spacious main compartment with a zipper, as well as wheels and a handle to keep things simple. It also comes in charcoal or beige. Did someone say matching set? Just add $29.99.

Frequent flyers will get a kick out of the mini memory-foam travel pillows, which are available for $16.99. There are a few different types: contour, traditional, neck roll, or neck support. Basically, that means no more sleeping on your forearms on virus-covered tray tables on the aisle seat, no more bumping your head against the wall in the window seat, and no more crook necks from trying to sleep upright in the middle seat. You’ll be able to see the difference when you check them out in store.
