Most flights I take these days are on the budget airlines and as such I end up being allowed to take one piece of hand luggage on board. I have got Used to packing on this way – even if I don’t like it – and can fit in a lot!

Last week’s case was within airline standards and contained

• 3 x trousers
• 3 x tops
• 1 pair of flip flops
• 3 x cardigans
• 1 pair of shoes
• 1 pair of sandals
• underwear
• make-up
• toiletries- inside their own plastic bag
• PJs
• slipper socks – I won’t walk barefoot in hotel rooms!
• hairbrush
• paperback book
• laptop and case
• 2 x notebooks
• various pens and pencils
• 2 x adapters
• 1 x phone
• 1 x purse
• 1 x handbag
• various medicines
• 4 x packs of tissues
• 1 x spare glasses
• 1 x kindle
• car keys
• 1 x belt
• 1 x blouse!

I think I have done well to get the above all packed but it does make it heavy though still under 10kgs

My main issue is unpacking it all when I get home again!

The above picture shows the suitcase I use but all other bags thankfully don’t have to be carried along
