Resolved Question: What should be the ratio for the weight of your luggage to the contents for a flight?
Friday, March 12th, 2010
I will be flying in a few weeks for a new job in another country. I will be there for at least a year, so i am pretty much packing my life into my luggage. Having never been on a plane before, i don't really know how much clothes weigh in terms of combined weights within luggage. Looking back i should have spent a little more on the flight and got a better luggage allowance, but as it stands i have 20kg. I plan to take my laptop in a bag on the plane, as well as a cabin luggage.
I need to check in two bags for my trip; one bag with all my casual clothes and another with my suits, shirts etc in. I decided upon buying a small case for my casual clothes and a garment carrier for my suits etc. My question is out of the 20kg weight, how much should i set aside for the weight of the luggage alone? How much roughly would a few suits, a dozen shirts and ties, and shoes weigh? At the moment i am still a bit clueless as to what i can expect to take with me. Clothes don't weight that much, right?
Thanks

How one shopper used his six-year year warranty right (and how if we all did, TVs wouldn't breakdown after two years)
