hey hey vacay! The holiday season is right around the corner and you are most likely all set to get your annual dose of Vitamin sea. To ensure that your trip runs smoothly, we have 5 luggage tips so that you do not have to leave half of your suitcase contents at customs or at the airport. What is actually allowed in hand luggage? And how should this be packed? We have the answers for you! 

Tip 1: Tiny but tidy

Don’t worry, you can still look fresh and fruity because in principle you don’t have to leave anything at home and everything can go in your suitcase. However, there are a number of rules attached to this. Your care products such as toothpaste, creams or gels can be taken in your hand luggage, what you have to take into account is that the packages may not be larger than 100 ml. Would you still like a larger amount? Then these liquids must be included in your checked baggage for the cargo hold. Easy, peasy!

Tip 2: Have a look

What you see is what you get. Yes, during the check of your hand luggage it is important that you can see at a glance which liquids are a max of 100 ml. Having with you a transparent, resealable, plastic bag is a must for this. No more than 10 liquids of 100 ml are allowed in this bag. Want to bring more products? Then divide this over the hand luggage of your holiday companions.

Tip 3: Get chewing

Did you know that you can take food with you in your hand luggage? Most solid food items are allowed, such as sandwiches, salads, vegetables, fruit, snacks and so on. So if you’re not a fan of airplane food, feel free to pack your own lunch box. After consuming your meal, we can imagine that you would like a fresh taste and clean feeling on your teeth, chewing gum offers a solution and can simply be taken in your hand luggage. Handy! because if you also have it immediately before take off and landing.. you can be sure that your ears won’t pop shut.

Tip 5: Rinse and smile
