Avoid:
Carry-on luggage sizes vary by airline. For instance, British Airways allows 56 x 45 x 25 cm, while Ryanair permits 55 x 40 x 20 cm. Always check your airline’s policy to ensure your bag meets size and weight requirements.
Select luggage based on your trip length and airline policies. Lightweight, durable materials like polycarbonate or ballistic nylon are ideal for frequent travelers. Ensure it has sturdy wheels and handles for convenience.
Use packing cubes to organise items, roll clothes to save space, and place heavier items at the bottom for stability. Maximise space by utilising pockets and compartments in your luggage.
