What to bring

Luggage

Your main baggage must be no more that 20kg (the maximum for internal flights limits). You will have, at times, to wheel or carry your luggage: holdalls or soft-cases with wheels are a good option. If you bring a big, hard case, this will be more difficult for you. Remember this is a casually dressed trip and some good ‘fleece’ tops, pullovers, and a warm functional jacket is useful. If you have some good walking shoes or trekking boots, you can wear these on the plane to reduce luggage weight.
