Before Flying Checklist

A few checks before leaving home can make your journey easier.

• Check your airline’s current size and weight allowance for your route, fare and cabin.
• Measure your packed bag including handles, wheels and exterior pockets, then weigh it.
• Use packing cubes to organise your belongings and consider a travel pillow for comfort.
• Inspect wheels, handles and zippers before travelling.
• Consider suitable luggage straps and locks, and follow your airline’s requirements.

• Keep travel documents, valuables and essential items with you, following airline security rules.
• Inspect your luggage when you collect it. Report airline damage promptly, preferably before leaving the airport. Deadlines and claim requirements vary by airline.
