Packing can be one of the most stressful things about going on holiday, especially if you aren't sure on what to bring with you. 

Many airlines restrict hand luggage to one bag per passenger with strict measurements and guidelines on what you can and can't pack. 

Some of these requirements are set to change, and passengers may be able to fit more into their hand luggage. 

Amid all these rules, you still have to decide what to bring. But worry not, these travel experts have advised what you should and shouldn't pack when travelling on a plane.

UK airports are set to scrap the 100ml liquid rule by 2024 and will introduce new 3D CT scanners which allows passengers up to 2ml liquid bottles

What is the maximum cabin bag size?

The maximum cabin bag size depends on which airline you're flying with, it's a good idea to check each airline's and airport hand luggage requirements before setting off. 

On Ryanair flights for example, each passenger can take a personal bag of 40x20x25cm.

While easy jet allows hand luggage sizes of 25x36x20cm and a maximum weight limit of 15kg.

As a general rule, all bags must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. 

If the your hand luggage exceeds the amount, your luggage may be refused at the boarding gate or you might be fined by the airline.  

How much liquid should I take in my hand luggage?

One of the main questions passengers have before jetting off on holiday, is how much liquid to take with you. 

Thankfully, many UK airports are scrapping the 100ml liquid rule and adding new 3D security scanners which allow passengers to carry up to two liters of fluids.

The Department for Transport has set airports a 2024 deadline to ensure the CT scanners are installed, but until then jetsetters will have to abide by the limits. 

Monica Stott, travel blogger for Travel Hack, advised checking if your accommodation supplies the necessities such as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. 

She suggested avoiding heavy liquids is one way to travel light. 'I use tiny 10ml sample pots and face care as you don't really need a lot,' she said.

According to experts, packing light is the best way to travel and passengers use every bit of space in their hand luggage
