You need to take a look at your power supply (probably that little box
attached to your power cable). This should state the power rating. If it is
rated at 110V-240V then you should be OK, otherwise you will need another
power supply.

If you are going to have the laptop stored with other luggage (and I suggest
that you don't) then you should probably get some hard cased bag to house
your laptop, otherwise any case is fine as 'carry-on'.
