carry on luggage

Carry on luggage is the luggage that carry onto the airplane with you (ie luggage you do not check).

Many airlines have different restrictions that are applied to varying degrees from airline to airline. Check your airlines web site for their terms and conditions with respect to carry on luggage

Remember to check the restrictions on carrying liquids and sharp objects onto aircraft. Most airlines and air authorities allow liquids and gels to be carried on in containers holding 100ml (3.3oz) or less with these containers carried in a clear 1 liter (quart) sized resealable plastic bag.

  13. One thing i found handy recently on a short (4 hour) flight was having a daggy headband on, the sound for planes in flight movies are bad, and having the headband meant I could relax instead of holding the earphones in place the whole time… cut out more of the ambient noise.

  14. What about Carry-on luggage with the bus? I haven’t seen anything which mentions that. I’m assuming it allows for a bag to be stuffed overhead like normal intercity buses?

  15. Eye masks are awesome, because you cant completely tune out the light on the plane and earplugs or ipod is great as well (especially if you are like me and love to fall asleep to music). Travel pillow is a great choice and if it is your comfortable own pillow even better, dont trust those plane pillows anyway.

  16. Ear plugs!! And a sleep mask. Especially for light sleepers (like me) who find it hard to sleep if there’s any sound or movement.

  18. I went to Greece last year and it’s really hard to carry-on your luggage from the US. We can’t pack any liquids so for more than a few days it’ll be hard to use just the few ounces of say shampoo and lotions and stuff. If you wear contacts…it’s impossible because of the contact solution.

  20. i used a travel pillow and found it sooooo handy i used it every where – flying, contiki bus, waiting for flights and even as an extra pillow in hotel rooms. My ipod also got a work out too during the long bus trips where everyone was in sleep mode
