Things you want to pack but shouldn't

Ok, so some of these aren’t necessarily ‘banned’ items, but they are items that we feel should perhaps be substituted for others to give you more space for essential items.

PACK A KINDLE INSTEAD OF BOOKS

Kindles are becoming the forefront of digital reading devices, and what better way to hold all your favourite books on one device that this? That way you won’t be carrying 20 books in your case to see you through your holiday.

PACK YOUR TOILETRY KIT INSTEAD OF KNIVES

As we’ve previously stated, knives are a no-go when it comes to packing your suitcase. Your toiletry bag already has a nail file, scissors and tweezers. Need a corkscrew? Don’t worry! Your cabin steward should be able to provide you with one should you need to open any bottles.

PACK WRINKLE-RELEASE SPRAY INSTEAD OF AN IRON

If you don’t want to use the onboard iron, why not pack wrinkle-release spray? It relaxes fabrics so wrinkles can be smoothed out with your hands. They’re available in a variety of sizes and are kind to most clothing fabrics.

We hope that by reading this post you feel more confident about what items aren’t worth packing and what items are completely banned onboard.
