Ultimate Hand Luggage Packing Guide for 2025

Travelling with hand luggage only saves you time, money, and the stress of lost bags. Most UK airlines allow a cabin bag of 55x40x20cm, though budget carriers like Ryanair and easyJet have stricter rules.

The 100ml liquids rule still applies in most airports. Pack toiletries in a clear zip-lock bag, use solid shampoo bars, and consider TSA-approved travel-size containers. Your airline's app often has the latest restrictions.

Rolling clothes instead of folding reduces creasing and saves space. Use packing cubes to organise and compress your belongings — they're a game changer for maximising every inch of your bag.
