We move in a month. I need to buy suitcases for the move - we only have a couple which DH has used for work travel.
For DH, me, and two dcs - 7&5. 35kg luggage allowance each. Air freight and shipping following us.
The last time DH went away he weighed his full (but not to bursting) suitcase and it was 18kg. I can't imagine lugging almost twice that per person to the airport. Having ditched most of my winter clothes and bought new climate appropriate stuff I think I could pack my whole wardrobe in one medium sized suitcase.
We'll take some of our towels and bedding with us, but will put most of it in the air freight stuff. And I've stocked up a bit on things like suncream and toothpaste which I've been advised to bring from the uk.
What else aren't I thinking of that we could use the luggage allowance for? How many/what size suitcases should I buy?!

How many suitcases did you take on the plane when you relocated? And how big?
