Having just come back with only 15kg luggage. Would suggest you loose a pair of shoes, skirt /shorts and top and or a beach towel if your struggling with 20kgs because they will weigh hand luggage as others have said if in doubt they'll say put in the suitcase. I got caught out few years ago with First choice and got stuck with £74 excess baggage going out.
i took 3 linen trousers, 2 shorts, 3 dresses, 1 skirt, 4 strappy tops and 4 night time tops, sarong and undies and a cossie. 2 flip flops and pair of crocs, and i travelled in one of the pair of flip flops. And i reckon there were 2 tops i didnt wear.
Hubby could have fitted his stuff in 2 tesco shopping bags I reckon
Hubby took bit less than me we were at about 12 kgs each but then the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, sun cream got added and lotions n potions then we had about 1kg spare in the suitcase. The stuff was rattling round the case it was strange having loads of room left.
I had a net book in my handluggage and hubby had camera in his, they didnt weigh our handluggage at Manchester luckily but some of ours was food for the plane, but i bet my bag was 6kgs. The chargers for electrical things added some more weight as well.
I bought one of those primark light bags for £3 that carried my handluggage in, but had another small shoulder strap handbag for passports, purse and ticket so could have shoved it in the ever growing primark bag if there was a problem - then the £3 bag got used as a beach bag, it held up well.
Have fun repacking, we did it at least 3 times
