Tightening the Baggage Rules
The four major airlines in the UK have been cracking down on oversized carry-on bags, and it’s not just about the money. The airlines are trying to reduce the number of passengers who bring unnecessary items on board, which can be a real pain for everyone.
By limiting the size of carry-on bags, the airlines are trying to create a more streamlined and efficient experience for all passengers.
The Struggle is Real
Airlines have long been notorious for their strict hand luggage policies, but it seems that the industry is taking a hard stance on the issue. With the rise of low-cost carriers, the pressure to keep costs down has led to a crackdown on passengers who dare to bring more than the allowed 10kg (22lbs) of hand luggage.
The consequences of overpacking can be severe, and it’s essential to consider the potential risks before deciding to bring more than the allowed amount.
Packing Essentials
The Art of Packing
Packing is an art that requires a combination of strategy and creativity. It’s not just about throwing a few clothes and toiletries into a bag and calling it a day. A well-packed suitcase can make all the difference in a trip, while a poorly packed one can lead to unnecessary stress and expenses. • Consider the activities you’ll be doing and the climate you’ll be in when packing. • Roll your clothes to save space and reduce wrinkles. • Use packing cubes or compression bags to keep your belongings organized and compress your luggage.
This advice is especially relevant for those traveling to destinations with freezing temperatures.
Choosing the Right Clothing
When packing for a cold weather trip, it’s essential to prioritize the right clothing.
