I have been packing, unpacking, repacking over and over again. I have 30kg of baggage allowance with Qatar Airways, and each 5kg over will cost $200. I was feeling smug when I had managed to get my two bags at 29.5kg, but then I walked into the bathroom and saw toiletries:misc that had not been included, and then remembered I'd been told that wellies were vital, and I'm sure there are at least five other things just waiting to taunt me at midnight on Sunday. What I will probably end up doing is stuffing everything into my handluggage and hoping very hard they don't weigh that. If there is anything absolutely vital I can ask Jess to bring it when she joins me next month (YAAAAAY) but of course she will need her own weight restriction for her stuff. So far the key victims of weight allownace are candles, books (including knitting patterns), and foodstuffs. I am also yet to pack any pants, but how heavy can those be?

You should wear all your knickers to travel in. You may need very loose and wide trousers on top, but at least it will save the luggage allowance in packing them.

Also what everyone else seems to do is go through security and then buy another suitcase worth's of stuff in the duty free shops, which they then insist has to go in the overhead lockers, although so far, I have noted that there is a distinct lack of knitting patterns in said shops.
