Frequently asked questions

What should I pack for a 7-day beach holiday carry-on?

Two or three swimsuits, a couple of light outfits, sandals, sun protection and a quick-dry towel fit easily in a carry-on.

Do I need to bring a beach towel?

A microfibre quick-dry towel packs tiny and dries fast — far better than a bulky cotton towel for travel.
