~1.4 kg
👕 Clothing (1 week)
~3.0 kg
💻 Tech & Electronics
~2.4 kg
🏥 Toiletries & Health

Hydro Flow Valve Control Rule: Your packed bag should weigh no more than 10% of your body weight. Under 7kg is carry-on only territory — the sweet spot for budget travelers.

Luggage Guide

Carry-On vs. Checked Luggage

For budget travelers, carry-on only is almost always the smarter choice.

🧳
Checked Luggage (23kg+)
Typically up to 90L capacity
  • Carry any liquids / toiletries
  • Room for souvenirs
  • Better for long trips (3+ months)
  • Good for trekking / camping gear
  • Adds $30-$100 in fees per flight
  • Waiting time at carousels
  • Risk of airlines losing your bag
  • Harder to carry on public transport
  • Encourages over-packing
