Long weekend abroad hand luggage wardrobe

12 replies

Hi! I’m jetting off for a long weekend in Spain on Friday!
I’m clueless where to start with packing as only taking hand luggage. I’m thinking three dresses, 2 x swimwear and maybe one shoes to fly in (converse) and one flip flops.
Thin beach towel...
Anything else?
Also, any good ideas for travel cosmetics? I can’t go without suncare products, shampoo, conditioner and serum, and contact lens solution ...

I would of probably added shorts and a vest or two. And a beach cover up

If you burn easily and need lots of sun cream maybe buy a larger bottle once you are though the airport

Then I normally decant shampoo etc into small bottles for the trip and get a mini deodorant etc

Yes a beach cover up for the day.

Remember that you can only take liquids up to 100ml on the plane - I'd suggest either getting your toiletries once in Spain or doing an airside boots order if you are willing to leave things behind as they don't count towards your liquid allowance.

I would take some pretty flat sandals rather than the converse

Cheers guys, back now, I rotated four thin dresses/ short one pieces and a pair of flip flops and two bikinis. Took a blazer for flights and journeys home but not necessary in either country!
