But, after all, what is a carry-on bag? In that sense, everything you don't need to check in is considered a carry-on bag. In addition, you can take a bag of up to 10 kg and a personal item with you inside the aircraft.

Also, depending on the type of flight, the weight of the carry-on bag may vary. Therefore, it is important to check with the airline before embarking on your trip. Avoid surprises and prevent yourself!

Thus, inside your carry-on luggage you cannot have any sharp objects, weapons, work tools, chemical, toxic or explosive substances, in addition to a bottle of liquids with more than 100ml. By the way, if you need to take any medication, it is important that it accompanies the medical prescription to avoid problems.

What is not allowed on the plane?

Well, if you are wondering what not to take on a trip, there are some items that are prohibited from entering the aircraft. That is, even if they are in your checked baggage, you will not be able to take them.

So, avoid putting lithium ion batteries, flammable products like lighters, paints and fuels in your bag too. In addition, it is allowed to bring alcoholic beverages such as beers and wines. However, the alcohol content cannot exceed 70%, even if the bag is checked in.

In addition, there are some countries that prohibit counterfeit items or have some restrictions on the entry of products. So, it's good to plan and research beforehand so you don't have problems during immigration.

First of all, if you are going on a national or international trip, take care to put your travel documents in your purse. Thus, items such as a passport or ID are essential!

Also, do not forget to check documents required by the immigration authorities of the countries you are going to visit, in case of international travel. Also, another important item to bring is your wallet and your cell phone! So, don't forget to pack cards, cash, and have an emergency number in your contacts in case you need help.

Even if your hand luggage has a maximum weight of 10kg, try to take your most important medicines with you, along with your doctor's prescription. By the way, it is also interesting to take hotel reservations and other important documents with you.

Do not take on a trip

So, some objects are not recommended for you to take on a trip, such as jewelry, for example. In this way, more expensive objects are at risk of being stolen, so it is interesting that you leave them at home. By the way, if you are traveling by plane, you also have the risk of having your luggage lost!

Thus, avoid taking objects of great value when taking longer trips. Also, try not to take up space with useless items like bath towel, pillows and even food and drinks. This way, you will avoid excess baggage and paying abusive fees for airlines, in addition to weighing your bags even more.

In addition, other items that you may run the risk of having problems when traveling are nail clippers or any sharp object. As we mentioned above, you will not be able to board with this type of object in your hand luggage, in addition to firearms and chemical and toxic products.

In addition, there are other prohibitions that may vary according to each country's immigration, so stay tuned and research before boarding!
