This is what you can and cannot take in your hand luggage

The hand luggage problem

We love to go on a trip, but when we decide not to check in, our suitcase is considerably reduced and we must bear in mind that there are things that we cannot carry. Be careful with the liquids that you will get on the plane and always take them in individual containers of a maximum of 100 ml inside a transparent plastic bag. So that you are not caught by surprise by airport regulations and you have to leave your shampoo or facial cleanser behind, we have selected the essentials that you should take in your travel bag.

The moment when we realize that it is time to pack because we are going on vacation , for the weekend or because we have given ourselves a getaway is the best. We happily start to make a (long) list of garments and accessories that we add several in case and everything goes smoothly until it is time to prepare the travel bag …

Hand luggage: what liquids can I bring?

We know that a bottle of water is a liquid and that a shampoo and a liquid foundation as well, but … what about the rest of the things? Well, we have visited the AENA website and we have interesting things to tell you so that you do not leave your precious cosmetics behind the security control.

The following are considered liquids:

Water and other drinks, soups, syrups.
Creams, pastes (including toothpaste), lotions, and oils.
Perfumes
Gel, such as shower gel or shampoo.
Aerosols and contents of pressurized containers, including shaving foam, other foams and deodorants.
Any other substance of similar consistency.

And the allowed liquids are:

Liquids in individual containers of no more than 100 ml placed in a transparent plastic bag with an opening / closing system and a capacity of no more than 1 liter. Only one bag per passenger is allowed.
Liquids that must be used during the trip , either for medical needs or for the need for special diets, including food for children, are also allowed .
You can get on the plane liquids (drinks, cosmetics, perfumes, etc.) bought in the airport stores or on the plane itself (but always packed in approved and sealed security bags and with the purchase receipt).

As we know that the transparent plastic bags of the supermarket (the typical ones to freeze) are not the most beautiful in the world, in the gallery we have selected very cute travel kits and cosmetic products that do not exceed 100 ml so you can get on the plane calmly. Take a look and start preparing your travel bag now.

I already have my hand luggage ready … and now?

Make sure that your cabin bag complies with the measurements requested by the airline if you don't want to have to check in the bag at the last minute.

Once you have everything under control, the time has come to choose the look to travel. We do not tell you to dress up and take your heels, but rather to be inspired by these celebrities when catching a plane. You need clothes that are comfortable, do not stick and make your trip as pleasant as possible.

And finally - and it is not to be ominous -, but we recommend that you take a look at these legal issues that you should take into account if you are going to travel by plane and some things that you should avoid on your next trip.

By the way … does anyone else NEED a suitcase like this?
