I was trying to save money when booking holiday to Spain which was achieved in 2 ways : not paying extra for holiday company to provide 'bath towels' (usually just enough to hide one's modesty!!) and only buying two 20kg cases between 4 of us (me, DH, two DSs aged 16 and 13). I freely admit to being the guilty party when it comes to overpacking and every year take stuff I don't wear!
But I definitely need to pack at least 4 beach towels (I normally take 5 or 6) and 4 bath towels. I have already bought toiletries etc as the one time I planned to buy them in the airport I found that stressful and expensive.
Should have said , we are going for 11 nights.
Does anyone know more or less exactly what equates to 20kg in fairly lightweight cases? I'm sort of trying to decide whether I need to bite the bullet and order a few towels. This would be annoying as we are only doing the camping bit for 4 of the 11 nights!
I did nearly get stung for extra charges a couple of years ago but the airline actually let me off a few extra kilos and let me check in some hand luggage that definitely was not hand luggage. Don't think I'll be that lucky again!
I do have luggage scales so can weigh ; I just wanted an idea before I pack if anyone can offer their insight!
it was so much less stressful last year when DH let me book a package holiday with flights and baggage allowance included sigh
