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!

Yes, I often travel with only 7kg hand luggage, especially in hot countries like Southeast Asia, I need light clothes. It's very convinient because I don't have to wait for my luggage when I land.

This exercise helps to learn vocabulary related to hand luggage and flight safety rules.

I am used to being on holidays when I fly. So I need some clothes and stuff , and I prefer to put my luggage in the hold, it normaly weighs more than 10 kilos. But if a small luggage is enough for me , I will prefer to have it on the plane, I will not have to wait at the arrival.

Yes, I like to fly with just one luggage. However, it's not possible to do that because whenever I fly, I go somewhere away from my home so I have to take a lot of stuff with me. I want to take just one backpack .it would be very cozy.

Hy,I usually take a little handbag and a little suitcase, but their weight is less than 10 kg. I don't  like to have many things in the suitcase, I prefer to buy something tipical when I arrived

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.
