Ah, Easter in Gibraltar. Spring is in the air. The sun’s doing its best. And half the town is suddenly very interested in checking flight prices, refreshing Skyscanner like it owes them money.
Whether you’re jetting off to London, road-tripping through Spain, or hopping on a ferry just for the vibes — one thing’s for sure:
🧳 You need the right luggage.
Not the “oh-it’s-fine” suitcase that’s been living in the cupboard since 2012. We’re talking real, reliable, stylish travel gear. The kind that rolls smooth, zips strong, and doesn’t panic under pressure.
Let’s get you packed and prepped — the ADAM way.
First Things First: Where Are You Going (and How)?
Because not all luggage is created equal.
🛫 If You’re Flying (Hello, BA or easyJet)
British Airways and easyJet are the main airlines flying in and out of Gib — and they’ve got some very specific opinions about what size your bag should be.
✈️ British Airways:
- Cabin bag: 56 x 45 x 25 cm (includes handles and wheels)
- Handbag/laptop bag: 40 x 30 x 15 cm (must fit under the seat)
- Checked luggage: Up to 23kg as standard (depends on fare)
🎒 Top tip: BA is generally generous, but don’t push your luck — they’re not in the mood for oversized cabin cases at the gate.
✈️ easyJet:
- Free cabin bag: 45 x 36 x 20 cm (must go under the seat)
- Bigger cabin bag: 56 x 45 x 25 cm only if you paid extra
- Checked bag: 23kg limit unless you pay for even more
🎒 Top tip: Don’t be the one repacking undies at the gate. Measure your bag. And if you want overhead locker space, upgrade in advance — it’s cheaper than crying at check-in.
🚗 If You’re Road-Tripping (Hola, España)
Lucky you — no baggage police here! But that doesn’t mean you should stuff your boot like you’re smuggling snacks across the border.
- Wheels = less shoulder pain. Even if you’re just going from the car to the Airbnb.
- Soft luggage = flexible packing. Great for squeezing into tight car boots (especially with that one friend who packs like they’re moving house).
- Don’t forget a small day bag. For beach trips, tapas runs, or carrying your passport after shouting “I’m sure I packed it!”
🎒 Top tip: Think “smart space” not “fill the car until we lose the dog.”
🚢 If You’re Travelling by Sea
Look at you, all nautical and mysterious.
Whether you’re ferrying to Morocco or cruising along the coast, you’ll want something:
- Water-resistant (splash happens)
- Secure zippers or locks (never trust sea gulls)
- Easy to carry (think ramps, not airport trolleys)
🎒 Top tip: Wheels + shoulder strap = best of both worlds. Leave the trunk-sized suitcase at home unless you’re moving in with Poseidon.
How to Choose the Right Luggage (Without Losing Your Mind)
ADAM’s team of suitcase nerds (yes, it’s a thing) have a few simple rules:
✅ 1. Measure Before You Buy
Seriously. Airline-approved means exactly that. Every centimetre counts when they’re charging £50 for an oversized bag.
✅ 2. Go for Lightweight but Tough
The heavier the case, the less you can pack. (And if you break the zip on day two, holiday vibes = gone.)
✅ 3. Four Wheels > Two
Life’s too short to drag a tilting suitcase through Heathrow like it’s a reluctant toddler.
✅ 4. Don’t Ignore the Inside
Compartments, straps, secret pockets… Your future, organised self will thank you.
