My friend Thomas did the maths back in March, two weeks before his flight to Fuerteventura. Ticket: 79 euros. Golf bag: 54 euros. Per leg, obviously. He took the clubs anyway and then sent me a very long voice message about it.

Short version: drone carry-on is fine as long as you get the battery rules right. Three separate rulebooks, one backpack. Fly with a camera body, a couple of lenses and a drone in your carry-on, and you normally end up reading three unrelated sets of rules: battery regulations, camera baggage...

Two people fly out of Munich on the same morning. One leaves the laptop in hand luggage and walks straight through. The other pulls it out and puts it in a grey tray, exactly like always. Both of them are following the rules correctly. They're just standing in different terminals.

You're at the gate, kid on one arm, and the ground crew is already reaching for the buggy. That's the moment your holiday either starts smoothly or turns into an argument about centimetres. A travel stroller on a plane flies free with pretty much every airline, so the sentence you read everywhere...

You're at the gate with a garment bag over one arm, the suit for tomorrow morning's meeting inside it. And one question has been rattling around since check-in: does a garment bag carry on as hand luggage, does it count as your personal item, or is this about to get expensive?

Most people searching for 40x30x15 hand luggage are thinking about Ryanair. And they're looking at the wrong airline. Ryanair's own free small bag at 40x30x20 cm (our German-language guide covers it in full) has measured that since September 2025, five centimetres deeper than the size covered...

You go looking for an aluminium suitcase and trip over shiny silver models for 89 euros. Real metal? Not a chance. That's exactly where the trouble starts, and it's the whole point of this aluminium suitcase test 2026: what counts as real full-aluminium, what's just alu-look painted plastic, and...

If you're looking up the rules for Corendon hand luggage in 2026, you'll almost certainly hit two snags. First: there are two companies called Corendon, and each has its own baggage rules. Second: the airline overhauled its entire fare structure mid-year, and most guides out there still show the...

A large suitcase feels like the safe choice: more room, less packing stress, everything fits. The catch shows up at check-in. The 23 kilos most airlines allow for checked baggage fill faster than you'd think, and an XXL case is exactly what tempts you to blow past them.

TSA luggage locks solve exactly one problem, and there's another one they don't touch. The first: your bag doesn't get cut open during a US inspection. The second, which they don't solve: they won't stop a thief who has pulled a master key file off the internet and printed it. Both things are...

I watched a woman lose her portable charger at the gate in Munich last summer. Brand name, 20,000 mAh, perfectly fine capacity. The problem? The label on the back was scratched off. You couldn't read the watt-hour rating anymore. Security took it. Gone.

You booked a cheap Austrian Airlines flight and now you're wondering what you can actually bring on board? Fair enough. Austrian Airlines hand luggage changed in 2026, and the rules aren't as clear-cut as they were a couple of years ago. That trolley case that used to come with almost every...
