• It’s easier to put layers on than take them off – even if you don’t get cold easily, pack a cardigan in your carry-on just in case.
• Avoid over accessorising – although you may want to bring all your lovely jewellery, headbands and other accessories, leave all but the essentials at home. You would hate to lose your charm bracelet overseas.
• Consider your carry on – before jetting off, read up on what the rules are for carry-on luggage with your airline. Most reputable carriers will allow you to bring one or two pieces of small luggage and a personal item, which can be your clutch (as long as it’s not too big).
