Normal suitcase stuff. Yeah, and the rest! You\u2019ll be amazed at how much ends up in your suitcases.<\/p>\n
Because this is pretty much the last chance you get to gather all your belongings together before you move overseas, it\u2019s wise to have a packing trial run. Have this trial run before<\/em> your air freight goes.<\/p>\n Pack the things you\u2019ll need right away – but can live without if your luggage gets lost. Spread each person\u2019s items over all the suitcases, so if one goes missing, they will still have something to wear.<\/p>\n Check your baggage allowances with the airline. For every leg of your journey\u2026 if you\u2019re on more than one flight to your destination, you do not want to pay excess baggage fees halfway there.<\/p>\n Take note of the climate and culture at your destination when you pack your suitcases. Put some extra items of clothing and shoes in to your air freight.<\/p>\n Do not put anything precious, breakable or valuable in your luggage; that should be carried with you at all times in your hand luggage. Can you now see why you\u2019re unlikely to get much clothing into your cases?<\/p>\n Try to get some coins for airport trolleys. This isn\u2019t particularly easy to do, but some airports need coins to release each trolley. It is not fun trying to move eight suitcases through an airport without a trolley. Believe me!<\/p>\n As you can see, there\u2019s a lot<\/em> of stuff to try and cram into your suitcases. It\u2019s nothing like packing for a couple of week\u2019s holiday! Maximise your packing space by having everyone in your party use the maximum number of cases.<\/p>\n Acclimatising to a new culture can take some time. Your first few days in a new home can be made that little bit easier if you remember to pack some of these items.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Suitcases for your move overseas… what to pack in them?
