We always receive many questions regarding the preparation of the suitcase before a trip abroad. What to pack?

We assert that this will depend on the time of year you want to travel. Anyway, even if you come with little clothes and not wanting to spend a lot, the pricing options are quite affordable, even for the winter clothes. We also recommend that you wait to buy coats, overcoats, cold socks, boots and shoes here because is cheaper and you will find a lot of options. Not to mention that surely you will want to return from here with a new wardrobe and will need space in the suitcase.


There are thousands of stores, thrift stores and malls selling different styles of clothing. It has for all tastes and budget. Not to mention the numerous department stores, with their promotions not to be missed. If you're coming near Christmas, better yet, because every December 26th has the promotion of boxing day with price reduction by more than half. So we suggest you bring the basics, those pieces that are your most important and essential, such as underwear, jeans, T-shirts and others to go out at night.


If it comes in the winter, a coat (at most two), a boot, few cold socks, leggings, jeans and wool blouses are enough. Avoid bringing many beauty products and cosmetics, as there is plenty here. However, it is important that you bring in your handbag a change of clothes, medicines and toiletries (all should contain 100ml or less, otherwise they will not go through the metal detectors and you will have to throw them away) . Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that in case of misplacement of the trunk, the company area is not responsible for electronic objects and value, as they understand that you can carry them in hand luggage.

MEDICINES
Medications like paracetamol, aspirin, syrups, decongestants and antacids can be bought without a prescription. Just search the formula in English with the help of an online translator. If you use controlled remedies, bring enough for your entire season, as foreign recipes are not accepted in the UK.


SPLASHING YOUR BAGS


Brazilian airlines generally allow two 32kgs suitcases, outside the carry-on luggage. However, if your itinerary includes other countries in Europe your flight will be considered domestic. It is important to know that low cost companies only allow a 20kg (some to less) suitcase and 23kg standards. If you want to dispatch a second suitcase, you will need to pay for an extra suitcase and if there is an extra suitcase, you usually charge a lot of pounds for them. Another point of attention is the hand luggage. Especially in low cost airlines only one piece is allowed. So put your purse, backpack and computer folders inside your carry-on bag.
