You definitely want something durable, waterproof, big, well-ventilated, and with a footprint.I would suggest a 3-person tent to maximize living space and to enable you to put all your luggage inside. That being said, a giant vestibule isn't necessary, but having one for shoes or something small is important. Weight isn't important since you're flying, unless you will go over weight limit for your airline.I'd just look around a little, get an idea of your options, and then ask some more questions if you're still not sure. But definitely look for 3-season, 3-person stuff. You could get by with a 2-person, but the bigger it is, the more comfortable.
