1.8 Luggage

Keep in mind that some budget airlines and cheaper airfare offers may come with severe restrictions on the amount of luggage you can bring. You may want to check with your airline before you travel about the number and size of bags, which you are able to bring.

When packing for your journey it is important to keep in mind what items you will need, such as documentation, when you arrive. It is highly recommended that you pack in your carry-on baggage all the documentation you will need to enter the UK and to register at the College, and any valuables. This will ensure that you have everything you need even if your checked baggage is misrouted during your journey.

Also, make a note of the number of your passport, its date and place of issue, and keep it in a safe place. If you purchase traveller's cheques, make a note of their serial numbers and keep this information separate from the cheques.

Please be aware that the College is not able to accept or store any luggage sent in advance. You must ensure that any items sent will arrive after you have taken up residence.

Remember to label all luggage clearly. If you have been allocated a room in a Hall of Residence, make sure that your luggage is marked with the name of your Hall and your room number, not just the name of the College. You are strongly advised to put this information inside your luggage as well, in case the outer labels become torn and your luggage is mislaid.
