Baggage preparation

Prepare your luggage without forgetting the essentials.

Start with what your trip actually requires, then choose the volume, cabin format and equipment that serve this list. Lureox separates what is confirmed from what remains to be checked.

The Lureox method

Four steps, in the right order.

The list comes before the container: it is the easiest way to avoid taking too much, or choosing too large a bag.

  1. 01

    Set Trip

    Trip length, destination, weather, transport and pace provide a useful starting point. You can leave any unknown information unconfirmed.

  2. 02

    Compose useful list

    Add the essentials, personal constraints and equipment necessary for your activities.

  3. 03

    Check volume and dimensions

    Capacity alone is not enough: external dimensions, weight and the baggage allowance on your ticket can change the right choice.

  4. 04

    Choose without duplicate

    Compare only equipment that meets a concrete lack in your list.

Useful questions

Prepare your luggage, concretely.

A short answer to start, then the right guide or tool when your situation requires more precision.

Start with the essentials of the stay: clothes, toilet, documents, health and planned activities. The container comes next.

What list to keep in mind?

How do I prepare a suitcase for a week?

Plan according to the actual duration, the weather and the possibility of washing on site. A week doesn't necessarily require seven different outfits.
