Mr Jerome Griffith, the CEO of luggage maker Tumi, shows how a little careful planning will turn every trip into a best-case scenario .

There comes a time in every man’s life when throwing a passport, a nearly empty tube of toothpaste and a phone charger into a carrier bag no longer counts as “packing”. When that time comes, there are a couple of things that you ought to know. The first is the importance of investing in a proper suitcase; the second is how to pack it.

We turned to Mr Jerome Griffith, the CEO of travel accessories brand Tumi, for a little advice. A seasoned jet-setter who tots up Air Miles to rival Up in the Air’s Ryan Bingham, Mr Griffith is not only an expert in his own company’s line of suitcases – two of which we feature in this guide – but also in the art of business travel. The secret to a hassle-free trip from home to hotel? Watch the video, above, to find out.
