What are the rules for packing for a flight?

While this is airline specific, a general rule of thumb is that most carry-on bags must weigh less than thirty-five pounds and must not exceed ten inches deep, sixteen inches wide, and twenty-four inches high. Make sure that whatever you pack these essentials in will fit in the overhead bin and abide by the restrictions.

What is the 3-1-1 liquids rule?

You can carry liquids, gels, and aerosols in 3.4-ounce travel-size containers. All containers must be placed inside one clear quart-size plastic bag, and each passenger is allowed only one plastic bag.
