How Much Baggage Can I Bring on My Wotif holiday?

Planning a trip can be overwhelming. There are so many things to think about, from where you're going to stay to how you're going to get there. 

And once you've finally booked your flights and accommodation, you need to start packing! 

But how much luggage can you take on a Wotif package holiday? Keep reading to find out.

Wotif flight baggage allowance

The first thing to know is that the Wotif baggage allowance varies depending on the airline you're flying with. 

For example, Virgin Australia has a different baggage allowance from Qantas. So, before you start packing, make sure you check the airline's baggage policy. You can find this information easily on the Wotif website. Just enter your flight details and click on the 'Baggage' tab.  

Once you know what the airline's baggage policy is, you can start packing! But it's important to remember that there are also weight and size restrictions in place. 

For instance, most airlines have a weight limit of 23 kg per bag. And when it comes to size, your bag must be able to fit into the overhead locker or under the seat in front of you. So, no bringing your entire wardrobe—you'll need to be selective about what you pack!

Wotif package holiday baggage allowance

If you're booking a Wotif package holiday, things are a little different when it comes to baggage. That's because most tour operators have their own set of rules regarding what you can and can't bring on holiday with you. 

So, before you start packing, make sure you check the tour operator's baggage policy. This information is usually included in the 'Important Information' section of the tour page on the Wotif website. 

When it comes to weight and size restrictions, again, these will vary depending on the tour operator. But as a general rule of thumb, most operators allow 1 suitcase per person (with a maximum weight of 20 kg) plus 1 small piece of hand luggage (weighing no more than 5 kg). 

Of course, always check the tour operator's specific baggage policy before you start packing—just to be on the safe side! 

What to do if you have too much or too little luggage

Traveling can be stressful enough without having to worry about whether you have too much or too little luggage. 

If you find yourself with too much luggage, there are a few things you can do. First, see if there is anyone who can watch your luggage while you explore your destination. 

If not, try to find a place to store your luggage, such as a locker at a train station or a baggage storage service at the airport. If all else fails, you may have to lug your heavy suitcase around with you all day. 

If you have too little luggage, on the other hand, there are some easy solutions. You can buy some essential items when you arrive at your destination, such as toiletries and clothes. 

Or, if you're traveling with someone, see if they can lend you a few items. With a little planning and ingenuity, it's easy to solve the problem of too much or too little luggage.

Tips for packing your luggage efficiently

1.  Start with a clean slate

Before you start packing, make sure that your luggage is clean and empty. This will make it easier to pack and will help you to avoid leaving anything behind.

2.  Make a list

Sit down and make a list of everything that you need to pack. This will help you to stay organized and will ensure that you don't forget anything important.

3.  Choose the right luggage

Choose the right luggage for the trip. If you're going on a long trip, you'll need a larger suitcase. If you're just going on a short trip, a smaller bag will suffice.

4.  Pack essential items first

Pack your essential items first. This includes things like your toiletries, medications, and travel documents. These are the things that you'll need to have easy access to during your trip, so it's best to pack them first.

5.  Use packing cubes

Packing cubes are an excellent way to maximize space in your luggage. They also help to keep your belongings organized and easy to find.

How to save money on baggage fees

When it comes to flying, baggage fees can add up quickly. If you're not careful, you could end up paying more for your luggage than for your actual flight! But there are ways to save money on baggage fees. Here are a few tips:

• First, try to avoid checking any bags if possible. Most airlines allow you to bring one carry-on and one personal item for free. So take advantage of that and travel light!

• If you do need to check a bag, consider using a low-cost airline that doesn't charge for baggage. Southwest is a great option, and their prices are often very competitive.

• Another way to save is to join an airline's loyalty program. Many programs offer perks like free checked bags for members. So if you fly frequently, it could pay off to sign up.

With a little planning, you can avoid paying hefty baggage fees the next time you travel. Just follow these simple tips and you'll be sure to save some money.

Conclusion:

So there you have it—everything you need to know about packing for your next Wotif holiday. Remember, always check the airline's baggage policy before you start packing for your flight and check the tour operator's policy if you're booking a package holiday. That way, you'll know exactly how much baggage you can bring—and avoid any nasty surprises at the airport! Safe travels!
