How to prepare the carry-on luggage for a trip

Are you going on a trip for a few days and do not want to check your bag? Normally, when we make a suitcase we put objects that the airlines do not allow us to carry. If you want to prepare your carry-on luggage so that you can safely be let into the cabin of the plane, you will have to take into account the following recommendations:

Limitation of hand luggage

In most companies there are weight limits, normally 10Kg. The International Airline Organization (IATA) recommends airlines limit baggage to these dimensions: 56 (long), 45 (wide) and 25 (high). However, before taking a flight, you should be informed of the particular restrictions of each of the companies because they may vary.

Releasing the weight of the suitcase by putting it on top

If you travel to a place where it is cold or you need to take a coat, boots or another item that weighs considerably, even if you spend a bit of heat at the airport, it is worth it to put it on to release weight from your suitcase. No company places restrictions on the clothes that travelers wear.

The bag and the laptop

Some airlines only allow you to travel with only one piece of carry-on baggage, that is, you will have to make sure that the bag or laptop (if you carry them with you) can be put inside the carry-on bag. Anyway, make sure before traveling what are the restrictions of your company. Remember that if you carry a laptop with you, you will have to remove it from your bag or briefcase and pass it individually through the scanner.

What can not you carry in your carry-on luggage!

Remember that you will never be able to carry in your hand luggage chemical and toxic substances, explosives, blunt objects, tools, sharp or pointed objects such as scissors, knives, blades ... As for liquids, remember that if you want to carry them in your carry-on baggage, the bottles will have to be a maximum of 100ml capacity and that the total of these does not exceed 1Kg. Also insert them in a hermetically sealed plastic bag with a maximum size of 20 x 20 cm.
