If you are going on holiday this summer and heading into the sun - or perhaps somewhere colder than here - then you will want to make sure your trip as smoothly as possible.
And when it comes to what you're packing in your suitcase, it can make a big difference to your stress levels.
As well as being strict on what you can and cannot make on board the aircraft with you, airlines are also cracking down on the weight of your bags - and it's important that you stick to this weight.

So if you're flying out soon with easyJet, TUI or Jet2, here is what you need to know.
Jet2 cabin bag allowance rules
When flying with Jet2, you can carry on board one piece of hand luggage free of charge, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg and is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles.
If your hand luggage weighs more or is larger than this, it will need to be checked into the aircraft hold, and you may have to pay an additional charge.
You can also bring a small, personal item on board (such as a handbag, laptop bag or airport purchase), as long as it is placed underneath the seat in front of you.
They warn that you "cannot drink any alcohol purchased at the airport (or beforehand) during the flight."
TUI cabin bag allowance rules
TUI say that if you’re just booking a TUI Airways flight, you can carry one piece of hand luggage of up to 10kg for free. The maximum dimensions of your hand luggage can be 55x40x20cm and you must be able to lift your hand luggage into the overhead storage compartments yourself.
In addition to the piece of hand luggage you can also bring one small personal item, things like laptops, handbags or a briefcase, and this must be small enough to be stored under the seat.
They warn: "For TUI Airways flights, you’re allowed to pool your luggage allowance with anyone else travelling on your booking. However, each bag can only weigh up to 25kg."
easyJet cabin bag allowance rules
When flying with easyJet, each person is allow to bring one small cabin bag per person on board for free.
The airlines rules state that the cabin bag can be a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including any handles or wheels) and needs to fit under the seat in front of you.
They add that you should be able to "lift and carry it yourself."
If you’d also like to bring a large cabin bag on board (max. 56 x 45 x 25 cm, including any handles or wheels), you have the option to:
- select an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat or
- book a large cabin bag for your flight
They advise: "If you’re an easyJet Plus cardholder or customer who has booked a FLEXI fare, you can also bring a large cabin bag on board (in addition to your small cabin bag) as part of your membership or fare benefits. See below for full details.
"Please note that the maximum number of cabin bags available per person is two; one small cabin bag for all customers and one large cabin bag for customers where it’s included with their seat, fare or membership benefits or where they have paid to add one to their booking.
"Remember - purchasing all your bags online is cheaper and will help you avoid paying bag fees at the airport and your cabin bags being placed in the hold."
