3. Leave other stuff you might want on the holiday behind so you don't bust the budget airline's stingy baggage allowance with your three ropes.
4. Wish you'd stuck with the original plan when you don't have the other stuff you wanted.
I suppose a 100m Joker or similar would cover both jobs, but I see no reason why the OP shouldn't use the system above to save the cost of one of those... it's going to add, what, an extra minute at the top of the climb?
The only problem I'd foresee is it could make stripping steep routes a bit more tricky.
