Baggage
In past, we use to take even three bags for our journey, packing many of clothes, sport stuff, even groceries. Now, if we try to get all of it to our plane, it will cost us fortune! In price of our seat, we only have one bag (and how big it is, is up to rules of airline corporation) . If we want to take extra luggage with us (which can contains groceries) we have to pay extra for it. Often, if we buy registered luggage, it cost us twice! So if you are interested only in cheap flights, be clever during packing.
What take with me on plane?
If you are choosing just carry-on bag, you must to know couple rules. Before your trip, be sure that size and weight of your luggage is permissible, to avoid extra costs. Also, you cannot carry any liquids (bigger then 100ml), snacks, beverages and sharp objects. It you got any of that, it will be confiscated by guards. Beside your carry-on bag, you can also take a personal item with you - it may be a handbag, a backpack or briefcase – not to big and also without forbidden items.
