Hand luggage only

Each person traveling is allowed hand luggage (weight depends on your airline) but this must not exceed the guidelines when it comes to size or you will be required to check it in. For a week or less you should be able to manage with only hand luggage. Here are a few tips:

  • Don’t take toiletries – your hotel will likely provide the basics, and local shops should supply the rest.
  • Most hotels will provide a hairdryer, so check before you go so you don’t take unnecessary items.
  • Take clothes to suit your plans. If you need to wash your clothes, hotels normally do a laundry service. By planning and removing unnecessary clothing you will save a lot of bulk and weight.
  • Try not to take too many pairs of shoes and wear your bulkiest, heaviest pair whilst traveling!
  • Take a kindle rather than several books to keep yourself occupied – you will save a lot of room and weight this way.
