How to Pack Light for International Flights — and Still Look Sharp

Chidi Okonkwo· Head of PartnershipsFebruary 18, 20254 min read

Checked baggage fees on international flights from Nigeria can run ₦20,000–₦50,000 per leg. A round trip with one checked bag is a significant additional cost. With the right approach, most trips under 10 days can be done in a carry-on.

The Core System: Versatile Pieces Only

Pack clothing in a neutral palette (navy, white, grey, black). Every item should work with at least two others. Three bottoms, five tops, one layering piece, and smart shoes that also work casual will cover 95% of situations.

💡 Roll, don't fold. Rolling clothes compresses them and reduces creases. Use packing cubes to stay organised and maximise space.
