When planning a vacation, many people worry about what kind of suitcase they can take on the plane. Or what to do with a stroller.

On This Morning, travel expert Chelsea Dickinson talked about how to navigate all these rules of different airlines to travel with ease and have less to worry about. Tips for travelers were published by Huffpost.

What bags can you take on the plane for free

So, first of all, all airlines provide sizes on their websites, but when choosing a carry-on bag, if it looks like it can fit under the seat in front of you, it's most likely the perfect size because that's what airlines have in mind when it comes to carry-on baggage rules. All airlines allow you to carry this bag for free.

However, if you are hoping to take a larger bag, most airlines do not allow it for free and charge a small fee, with the exception of Virgin, which allows a large bag for free, but with the caveat that you will not be able to take a smaller bag for your essentials during the flight.

Dickinson recommends that if you're the type of person who usually takes a carry-on and your own bag of essentials, pack that bag in a larger bag and take it out after the flight. A bit tricky, but it helps to get around the restrictions!

When it comes to checking a bag in the baggage compartment, none of the most popular British airlines provide a free baggage allowance in the baggage compartment, but Dickinson warns that in this case, size is not really the most important thing to keep in mind, but weight is.

Before departure, weigh your suitcase to make sure it fits within the airline's limits to avoid unnecessary costs.

What to do with a stroller?

Finally, there is good news for parents and guardians: strollers are, of course, considered a necessity and are free on most airlines, although Jet 2 requires that the weight of the stroller does not exceed 10 kg.

You can use the stroller until the flight itself, and if it is collapsible, many airlines, including Wizz Air, TUI, EasyJet and Ryanair, will allow you to take it on board as part of your hand luggage, but if not, it will be prioritized when you land at your destination.
