While most Britons will be aware they can’t take liquids of more than 100ml in their hand luggage, it can be hard to know what’s allowed in their hold luggage.
Although there are fewer restrictions on hold luggage, there are still a few items Britons are banned from taking.
Britons will also need to get to the airport earlier if they’re planning to check in a bag, as the queues can be lengthy during peak holiday season.
If tourists are very worried about the queues, some airlines allow travellers to check in their bags the night before.
Although the security process seems a lot stricter for hand luggage, hold luggage is also screened behind the scenes.

Tourists will also need to ensure that there are no loose straps left dangling from their luggage.
Travellers should also make sure all flaps are securely fastened and secure any handles on their bags.
It’s a good idea to remove any old luggage tags from the bag to make sure there’s no confusion.
Some travellers recommend attaching a coloured luggage tag to checked luggage so it’s easy to spot at baggage reclaim.
Tourists could also purchase a distinctive bag so other travellers don’t get confused at baggage reclaim.
If tourists want to take bulky sports equipment or musical instruments on holiday, they should contact their airline for its guidelines.
