Yeah had a brilliant trip
We went SAA since you can take a pad as sports equipment.
If you don't have one we have found the bang per buck of the little mini pads (the ones which are just an inch of hard foam) is quite good for trips where you fly with pads because it slots into an existing pad (so no more luggage), is fairly cheap and gives you a bit of versatility (and you can use it for starts to save bigger pads for elsewhere)
