With the summer holidays fast approaching many Brits will be planning a getaway in the coming weeks. Packing for your holiday can always be a bit stressful, it can be hard to know what to bring and tricky to stick to any weight restrictions.

If you’re planning a shorter trip usually you’ll only need hand luggage which you carry on board with you. However, if you’ve got a bigger holiday lined up then you’ll probably need to check in a suitcase.

There are strict rules on what you can carry in your hand and hold luggage. While the security process is a lot more obvious when it comes to your carry-on bags, you might not realise that there are restrictions on your hold luggage too.
