Airlines now have strict rules on the amount and size of both carry-on and checked baggage.
Plus, less luggage means shorter waits for baggage claim, less need for porters and easier Customs inspections. Before you pack, check the condition of your luggage. Airlines can refuse to accept fragile or damaged pieces. If you have to purchase new bags, choose luggage that is lightweight, roomy and easy to carry, yet durable enough to withstand rough treatment. Choose material that will not sag or rip as it moves along the conveyor belt and be sure that each piece has a secure lock.
