suitcases over there, quality can be suspect though. Best buy is to buy the material Bali Bags, they come in various sizes and weigh next to nothing. You can have as many bags as you can carry as long as you don;t go over your allocated weight allowance. Super glue the zips you won't use and cable tie the closing one up. Use garbage bags as liners in case the bag breaks open.
Weigh your suitcases you are using, maybe an option to buy all new or hunt the op shops for some lighter ones, some suitcases weigh in excess of 6 kilos empty.
Never not take your alotted amount of kilos, take some gifts or donations if you can to use your weight up. Or see if anyone has anything that you can take for them, as long as you see what it is.
Have a great trip.
