You know the feeling: you buy a budget airline ticket and turn up at the departure gate only to discover that you have the wrong sort of hand baggage. It might be too big for the “sizer” at the entrance to the plane. Or you may have one too many items – such as a handbag as well as a laptop case. The error could cost you £50.
Cabin baggage limits on flights are maddeningly complicated. Airlines decide their own rules on the exact dimensions and weights of hand luggage.
