If it has been a long time since you packed for a holiday, then tips from an expert will come in handy. Those jetting off this summer will also need to check exactly what you can and cannot take on a flight and don't forget there are restrictions when it comes to the size and weight of your luggage.
Every airline is different, so check with your flight company before deciding which bag and what you're planning to stash in there for the journey and the trip. Too much luggage could lead to an extra bill or worse, being asked to remove items at the airport. There are also strict rules on things like liquids, so check with the airline.
Some airlines, like TUI, only allow passengers to take one piece of hand luggage per person (and infants don't get that luggage allowance). The item can only weight up to 10 kg and have maximum dimensions of 55 x 40 x 20 cm.
