Desperately Seeking Space
Dear Agony Auntie,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I recently went on a trip, and, like any Joburger would, overpacked. Fast forward, and it turns out that OR Tambo takes weight limits very seriously. In a bizarre striptease, pulling out clothes and shoving them into my carry-on, I was involved in a heated argument with the x-ray machine.
Was I wrong? Are the air gods mad at me? Any tips on travelling light, or should I just invest in a larger bag?
Dear anonymous,
You were probably wrong. Packing is a fine art, and it takes experience to master the balance between "I might need this" and "I won't wear this once." But don't let this luggage fiasco ground your spirits! Fly through future trips stress-free by investing in our deal on a Mooistar 3-Piece Hard Shell Luggage Set.
