Great luggage is also key to enjoying each part of a trip. A small, compact backpack with lots of pockets makes enjoying the flight easier. A nice big backpacking bag can carry everything you need for a big adventure.

We always skimp on these things when the really great, more expensive versions are well worth the price.

Then you can buy the ticket later once you’ve worked out the dates.
