What can and can't you take in a suitcase?

For many travelers, it is unclear what exactly you can take in your suitcase during a flight. The rules differ between hand luggage and checked luggage and are primarily intended to ensure safety on board. By taking this into account beforehand, you prevent problems during the security check at the airport.

What can go in your hand luggage?

In your hand luggage, you can take most personal items, such as clothing, electronics, and travel documents. However, strict rules apply to liquids.

Liquids must:

  • Be in containers of no more than 100 ml

  • Fit together in one transparent, resealable bag

Sharp objects and dangerous items are also not allowed in the cabin.

What can go in checked luggage?

Fewer restrictions apply to checked luggage. For example, you can take larger quantities of liquids, cosmetics, and certain sharp objects that are not allowed in the cabin.

Nevertheless, dangerous substances, explosive materials, and some batteries remain prohibited, regardless of where you pack them.

Electronics and valuables

Important and valuable items such as laptops, cameras, documents, and jewelry are best taken in your hand luggage. This way, you prevent damage or loss during transport.

Why preparation is important

By checking beforehand what is and is not allowed, you save time at the security check and prevent items from being confiscated. It also helps to pack your suitcase more efficiently and neatly.
