High summer has arrived. Before you flick on the OOO and head to Heathrow, however, be sure you are fully prepared to pack a suitcase without finding yourself in one of life’s more uncomfortable positions: sweating, swearing and staring at empty bags before an early flight.
Rule one in preparation for holidays abroad: dig out any linens and slightly eccentric shirts that don’t get a showing in the city and take them to a dry cleaner. This ensures a good part of your summer wardrobe will feel like new upon arrival — and avoids the nasty realisation that your white slacks still have grassy arse from the final night of summer 2024.
