Q: How do I pack light but still have outfit options?
Choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched across multiple outfits - think neutral basics, layering options, and accessories that can switch up a look from day to night.
Q: What bag size is allowed for cabin luggage on short flights?
Most UK airlines allow 45 x 36 x 20 cm for underseat bags and up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm for cabin trolleys like the Nere Venture.
Q: Can I fit shoes and toiletries in a carry-on bag?
Yes, especially when using packing cubes and smart layout strategies. Just keep toiletries in a clear case so you can breeze through airport security.
Q: How many packing cubes do I need for a weekend trip?
Two or three cubes are ideal: one for clothes, one for accessories and undergarments, and one for extras like swimwear or gym gear.
Q: Can I bring liquids in my weekend bag?
Yes, if you’re travelling with a carry-on only, liquids must be under 100ml each and fit in a clear 1L bag.
Q: What’s better: a soft travel bag or a structured underseat case?
Both have their benefits: a soft bag like the Bondi Travel Bag is flexible and easy to carry, while a structured case like the Nere Venture keeps items protected and wrinkle-free.
