Hand luggage weighing up to 10 kg is part of the boarding rules for domestic and international flights. If the passenger's suitcase exceeds this limit, a fee must be paid to have it checked in the cargo compartment of the plane. Therefore, knowing how to organize everything so as not to exceed the weights and measures is essential.
To help you, Costa do Sauípe created a complete guide with 6 practical tips for organizing your 10 kg hand bag. This way, you take all the necessary items to enjoy the trip at no additional cost. Check it out!
1. Take only the necessary amount of clothes
We know that unforeseen events happen and it is often necessary to carry a few extra items of clothing. However, so that you do not exceed the hand luggage limit on a domestic flight, it is important to consider only what is indispensable.
To do this, separate the amount of clothes according to the number of days you are going to spend traveling. It is interesting to bring versatile pieces, such as jeans and t-shirts, which can be combined with different colors and models. Choose to add one set to your luggage for each day of travel.
Example of a suitcase for a three-day trip:
- pajamas;
- shorts; pants; four
- t-shirts
The same goes for other items, such as socks, underwear, accessories, and footwear. Thus, you save maximum space and do not exceed the weight of the 10 kg suitcase and the measures recommended by the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).
2. Put some items in smaller packages
A good tip for organizing hand luggage of up to 10 kg is to carry hygiene items and cosmetics in smaller packages. If you use a 1 L shampoo, for example, you don't need to carry it all the way for a five-day tour, isn't it?
Therefore, only carry what is extremely important in smaller packages that respect the limits of liquids for hand luggage. You can also choose to purchase travel kits with smaller versions of beauty and personal hygiene items or leave to buy those products as soon as you arrive at your destination.
Regarding transportation, know that liquids must be properly packaged in sealed and labeled bags to avoid accidents and leaks while traveling.
3. Bet on smaller utensils
Another tip when packing hand luggage of up to 10 kg is to have smaller items to put in the bag. This is true both for simpler objects, such as mirrors and hairbrushes, and for portable appliances, such as flat irons and hair dryers, because they are much lighter than the traditional versions and will help a lot when organizing the hand bag
. So, the ideal is that, over time, you will already have your exclusive miniature kit for traveling. This will make all the difference when you want to reduce the weight of the suitcase and gain more space in hand luggage of up to 10 kg
. 4. Explore the space in the hand bag
In addition to allowing passengers to board with hand luggage weighing up to 10 kg at no additional cost, airlines allow you to carry your personal suitcase throughout the trip, such as a side bag or backpack,
for example. Then explore all of her compartments. You can add documents and electronic objects, such as cell phones, tablets, and chargers. Take the opportunity to carry your personal items and also save space in your hand luggage
. 5. Pack items in vacuum bags
A major enemy when packing suitcases can be the air present in packages. Therefore, the ideal is to choose to place everything in vacuum bags. With this, you can make better use of all the compartments of the suitcase and even make it easier to close it
. 6. Be aware of the weights and measurements allowed
.There are several types of hand luggage. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the weights and measures stipulated by the airline. The personal bag must not exceed the following dimensions: 35 cm x 20 cm x 55 cm.
As for hand bags weighing up to 10 kg, care must be taken with the following proportions: 35 cm x 25 cm x 55 cm. To avoid problems, the ideal is to weigh your luggage before going to the airport. Thus, it will be possible to identify if there is a need to remove objects from it.
