reisbagage

Reisbagage refers to the luggage a traveler brings on a journey. It typically includes two categories: carry-on baggage, which you bring into the cabin, and checked baggage, which is loaded into the cargo hold. Rules governing weight, size, and contents vary by airline, country, and ticket type.

Carry-on baggage usually must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Many airlines permit one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a handbag or laptop bag. Typical size limits are around 55 cm by 40 cm by 20 cm, with weight limits commonly between 7 and 10 kg. Some carriers allow larger or smaller allowances, and premium fares may include additional items.

Checked baggage allowances vary more widely. A common standard for international economy travel is one bag up to 23 kg, sometimes two bags. Budget airlines may charge for any checked bag, and oversize or overweight bags incur extra fees. Always confirm limits for your specific itinerary, as they differ by airline, route, and fare class.

Contents and safety rules apply to what can be packed. In carry-on bags, liquids, gels, and aerosols are limited to containers of 100 ml or less, all placed in a single transparent bag. Batteries, including power banks, have restrictions. Prohibited items include explosives, flammable materials, and certain sharp objects. Pack valuables and important documents in carry-on.

Practical packing tips include planning according to trip length, using packing aids, labeling luggage, and considering travel insurance. Check airline rules before departure and allow extra time at the airport for baggage handling and security checks.
