When travelling with your spouse/partner, divide your belongings between your luggage. This way if one of your suitcases goes astray upon arrival at your destination, you will have some clothes to get you by until they can locate your suitcase.
Identify your luggage! Tie a distinctive ribbon on the handle of your suitcase to make identification simple as those hundreds of bags round the carousel.
Place a plastic dry cleaner bag over your freshly pressed clothes for a wrinkle-free trip to your destination. It really works!
Keep in mind when purchasing a suitcase to pay special attention to the WEIGHT of the suitcase. Most airlines, especially charters, are very strict with the weight restriction of 20 kg per person, and will charge you big dollars for every kilogram you are over. When you think you have found that ideal suitcase, give it a lift with your finger, and you might be surprised how heavy it is when you start comparing it to others of the same size!
