Luggage

The type of luggage you choose will depend on your needs and your plans: whether a backpack or a suitcase, the weight of your luggage will vary depending on the length of your trip and the regulations of the airline you use.

It is a good idea to start thinking early about your luggage and the clothing and accessories you will be bringing. Do a trial run a few days before you leave. Pack what you WISH to bring. Carry your luggage yourself for a few minutes. Take a short walk with your luggage and see how you feel. Too heavy? This little test will determine the difference between what you HAVE to bring and what you WANT to bring.

In terms of clothing, "Mix And Match" formula as much as you can - think about pants, shorts, skirts, T-shirts or buttoned shirts that can be combined to create numerous outfits.

Remember that there are restrictions on what you can pack in your carry-on luggage. Some objects are prohibited on board aircraft.

Consult our quick list of accessories and clothing that may be useful while travelling.
