The Edit: OVERNIGHT BAGS

With the possibility of baggage handler strikes, lost luggage disasters and missed flights looming this summer, there's nothing more dependable than a good piece of hand luggage: check-in will be quicker, you'll have access to your worldly goods throughout the flight, and there's no hanging forever at the carousel. Pack carefully, decant the grooming products, invest in a handsome holdall and you'll feel - and certainly look - as if you've just stepped off a private jet.
