Navigating the hand luggage mazeGlobe-trotting trendsetters know the drill: travel light, pack only hand luggage and watch those euros stack up in your favour. But hey, don't forget - there are still rules to play by! ■ Liquid limits: sip, don't drownForget about lugging giant shampoo bottles or oversized sunscreen tubes. Airlines play hardball with liquids. Stick to the 100-millilitre rule and don't exceed one liter in total. Otherwise, airport security might confiscate your precious liquids. ■ Size matters: the art of compact packingPicture this: your hand luggage elegantly sliding into the overhead compartment. Bliss! But wait, what are the dimensions? According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the magic numbers are 56 cm high, 45 cm wide, and 25 cm deep. Note that airlines can be rule-breakers too, so check their specific guidelines. ■ Weight Watchers: the battle of kilogramsAirlines play favourites when it comes to hand luggage weight. Some allow a mere 5 kg, while others are more generous with 14 kg. Know your airline's stance and pack accordingly. The zen of packing: tips for minimalist travelReady to jet set without the baggage stress? Stay tuned as we spill the beans on how to cram everything into your hand luggage like a pro. Let's make packing a breeze! ■ Featherweight warriors: suitcases and backpacksDitch the clunky hard-shell suitcase. Opt for a lightweight fabric suitcase or a trusty backpack. Your shoulders will thank you. ■ Toiletries tango: less is moreBid farewell to the mega-sized shampoo bottle. Instead, grab travel-sized containers at your destination. Your hair will still shine and your luggage will breathe a sigh of relief. ■ Streamline your luggage: declutter like a proChannel your inner minimalist. Leave behind items you won't miss. That hairdryer? It's probably sulking in the corner anyway. ■ Outfit architects: plan, don't panicNo more random t-shirts and forgotten trousers. Curate your outfits in advance. Each piece should have a purpose - no fashion freeloaders allowed. ■ Shoe minimalism: walk lightlyFace it, you won't scale Everest during your city break. Pack one pair of comfy walking shoes.

List your essentials - from undies to chargers - and stick to it. No last-minute panic attacks at the airport. ■ Roll with it: clothes, not diceForget the neat stacks. Roll your clothes like sushi. It's space-efficient and oddly satisfying. Plus, you'll fit in that extra souvenir tee. ■ Laundry SOS: dirty clothes, clean strategyPost-travel laundry blues? Fear not. Pack a separate laundry bag for your worn clothes. Your unworn outfits will stay pristine and you won't dread the laundry pile when you return. Ready to ace your travel game?Pack like a pro for your next adventure! Forget bulky suitcases and embrace the minimalist vibe. Here's the lowdown: liquids, dimensions, and weight matter. Opt for feather-light luggage, ditch the excess toiletries and curate your outfits like a fashion guru. The result? More space, less hassle.
