Make your journey home as smooth as possible
If you're flying home or travelling abroad, it's crucial to be aware of what items you can bring on a plane so you're not delayed at the airport.
Here's a basic guide to what's typically allowed and what's not.
Carry-on baggage
Passport and important documents: Keep them in a wallet or folder that is safe but easy to access.
Liquids, aerosols, and gels: These must be in containers of no more than 100ml each, and all containers must fit comfortably in one transparent, resealable plastic bag of about 20cm x 20cm.
Electronics: Laptops, cameras, tablets, and mobile phones are allowed but may need to be removed from your bag and placed into a tray during security screening.
Medications and special dietary products: Medications should be accompanied by a prescription or doctor’s note. Special dietary products, like baby food, are usually exempt from the liquids rule, but only in reasonable quantities.
Checked baggage
Clothes, shoes, and personal belongings: There’s usually no restriction on these items, except for space and weight limitations set by the airline.
Books, documents, and academic materials: These are generally allowed, however, consider the weight as it contributes to baggage allowance.
