What kind of snorkellling? Mixed with some shallow free diving or just surface snorkelling?
This is a good question.
I don't buy special fins to 'flap around' doing some shallow diving with a snorkel going over a coral reef.
I do fee dive [not to the depths I once did] , for this I use blade style fins, Mares Pure Instinct Razor Pro Fins, these are mid range in price, light but a bit long for travel, but worth it, If you can fit them in.

I would personally not compromise on mask/snorkel/fins while traveling if at all possible For extremely casual snorkeling can get by with anything, including even learning the "no fins" free diving technique.. But I strongly prefer relatively heavy scuba fins for technical diving (ie a large part of typical baggage weight limits) and longblade fins for snorkeling and freediving (ie difficult dimensions for checked baggage).
With all that said, I am intrigued by Folding Fins® but have no personal experience with them...
