What can I take on the plane as hand luggage?

Please note that passengers can only take ONE suitcase onto the plane. It must be no bigger than 55cm x 22cm x 35cm and weigh no more than 10kg.

You can also take one small laptop bag or handbag that can fit under the seat in front of you. If you have two bags, their total weight cannot be more than 10kg. If your bag is too big or too heavy, you will not be allowed to take it onto the plane. Staff will put it in the hold for you and you will have to pay extra.

Please make sure mobile phones and other devices are fully charged so that security staff can check them.

Liquids in bottles bigger than 100ml are allowed on board if you buy them in the airport shops after you've passed security. 

We hope you enjoy your flight!

I have not traveled by plane yet, but I don't have to hold a heavy weight.

It depends on the travel motivation. If I were fly for visiting somewhere, I would carry suitcase with me only. If the fly is  for migration to somewhere, I definitely carry with me suitcase as a hand luggage, big suitcase for booking, laptop bag.

I'm not sure but i prefer to make sure I have the most important things like medicine , my passport , money, phone and my personal items . if all of that can fit in my hand luggage , then yes i think  its okay to travel with just that .

I haven't by plane before . But I don`t like carry luggage with myself since it is very tedious and I feel anxious myself. I usually prefer backpack. It is very cozy and light.

Yes, I do. It's good for me, because I can take only needed things for me, but small size of water is not good for me

Do you like to fly with only hand luggage?

Yes, I do. It’s feel free and comfortable to me.

Actually,  I would like to say that I am not a huge fan of to travel by hand luggage because there are several reasons for it. Firstly. If i have a lots of stuff and just like things i forced to dislodge them. Secondly, whether I travel far countries from my land for example, Europe or the USA it is not suitable for my rest of trip due to I frequently scatter my things.

I like to fly only with one bag, because it's cheapest, fast and comfortable variant for me.
