As the summer holiday season gets underway, many British tourists will be flying abroad for some sun, sea and relaxation.
The one thing you don't want while travelling to a foreign country is to get stuck at security with something in your hand luggage that you shouldn't have. The Mirror reports by not following the rules, you could end up having to throw away beloved possessions in order to avoid trouble in the queues.
Those who want to keep food costs down will be happy to hear that most airlines allow you to bring food from the airport into the cabin. In terms of what is allowed in hang luggage, the full list is close to endless - but most electronics, clothes, books, pens, paper, travel pillows and headphones all pass the test.
