Carry-on baggage restrictions can depend on who you’re flying with and where you’re flying from, so the best thing you can do is check with your airline or visit the airport’s information site. However, most carriers allow you one standard-sized carry-on bag measuring no bigger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22ins x 18ins x 10ins), including the handle, pockets and wheels, PLUS a small laptop bag or handbag.

We reckon you’re best off carrying as little as possible though, so try to limit your hand luggage – some airports still have a one-bag policy. There may also still be restrictions on quantities of liquid you can take on-board; see Gatwick’s Passenger Tips page for a guide.
