Making sure your luggage is as light as possible when you fly the short distance from Durban to Cape Town is a way for you as a traveller to contribute to eco-friendly travel. The first thing you can do is purchase light cases made of polycarbonate that are strong enough to withstand the fast-paced movement of a busy airport, but light enough to be hassle-free and lend to minimal additional weight. Next, carefully consider your clothing choices and coordinate your outfits to be able to interchange fewer items to achieve multiple looks with less clothing. Remove any excess packaging from items like toiletries to further reduce unnecessary weight in your case. Another option is to pick airlines that engage in recycled materials where possible, for example, Lift Airlines serve all the available meals in 100% recycled packaging, bought from companies that support local recycling projects.
