HOW TO PACK YOUR HONEYMOON TRAVEL LUGGAGE TO AVOID STRESS
Some of the items we listed below can be gotten when you go shopping in Dubai. Taking them along will save you the stress of emergency trips to the stores. Picking a few items while leaving heavy weighted ones to shop over there in Dubai will save you from paying for excess luggage at the airports. Excess baggage fees are not palatable at all, so, we’ll advise that you go through the list and check the ones you can carry in your luggage and the ones to keep with you in your hand luggage to help reduce travel fares.
One important thing you need to know is that you have to check-in your body lotions and any other liquid items like medications if at all. Let them stay in your large travel bag or your travel box or whatever that is carrying the main luggage. If you keep those in your hand luggage, you might lose them at the immigration.
