• Pack Complete but Pack Light

Many times we will be sure to not forget anything, only to have to pay an excess baggage fee which many airlines will charge if the bag is even slightly over the maximum allowed weight (usually 50lbs with most major carriers on a large suitcase). Also the suitcase dimensions should not exceed a certain amount, lest it be considered oversized.

Hand Luggage Size

• Check with your airline to assure the dimensions of the handbag are allowed in order to avoid issues at check in.
• Not all hand bags will fit in the overhead bins of smaller aircraft, or may end up being under the seat in front of you for the duration of the flight

Multi-use outfits and pairings can reduce the amount of single garments.
