Suitcase Smart

Packing begins with the right suitcase. Too little and your belongings can get squashed. Too big and it can be a hassle. Figure out what's right for you and your trip. We've got luggage to suit all kinds of trips at all kinds of savvy prices.

 

 

Planning Smart

  • Notebook and Pen

Be a step ahead for flights and have a pen handy so you can fill any documents required on the plane. You may also find it's a time you can get creative!

  • The mini essential bag

From mani-care and tissues to toiletries, you'll always be thankful to have a little carry pouch filled with these handy essentials:

 

Finally, don't forget to lock your bag to keep your belongings safe!
