It was nice to meet KevinS, JEK and Suzie, always a pleasure to put a face and sound behind a familiar nickname. And like the forum has proven, they are as nice people IRL as they are online. I know there is a beer waiting for me in P'Town as well
After (September 2013) putting our bags into the cargo bays of British Airways, Rwandair, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airways, Ulendo Airlink, South African Airways, Qantas, Virgin Australia, Fiji Airways, Air New Zealand, LAN Chile, LAN Argentina, Emirates, LAN Colombia, American Airways, Tradewind, and US Airways, we finally learnt from JEK a great idea to keep the luggage organised, especially for the ladies who tend to travel with so many clothes and can never decide what to wear. In my case I can fit a pair of shoes and two shirts to the luggage and it's pretty much full anyway..
The clothes in the ziplock bags are easy to shuffle around, and they don't take too much space as most of the air is taken out (a bit leaks back after closing it but the cargo bay does the rest). We like to keep our luggage below 23kg so weight is usually the first problem.
