Guide to outbound baggage specifications

Compared with travel, transportation and accommodation, many people think it is a trivial matter to pack up during travel. However, for tourists who travel long distances, especially those who travel abroad, in addition to cumbersome boarding procedures and many security regulations, luggage is lost from time to time. Sometimes the problem of personal luggage will affect the progress of the whole team and cause dissatisfaction among other group members.

Situ Hong, a gold medal tour guide in Guang Zhi, reminded that standardized luggage can bring convenience to entry and exit and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, which is the basis for ensuring a smooth journey and should be taken seriously.

Many suitcases are similar in design and easy to make mistakes.

Xiao Li returned home by plane after a trip to England, and found his luggage quilt when he picked up his luggage. Switch? Fortunately, the airport staff caught up in time and stopped a group of passengers who had picked up their luggage before they recovered the original. It turns out that Xiao Li and the passenger's suitcase are exactly the same.

Analysis: Did you take the wrong baggage during the check-in process? Oolong incident? This happens from time to time, and one of the important reasons is that many suitcases are similar in design, especially some internationally renowned brands. There are often several suitcases of the same model and model on the same flight, and the luggage will be mistaken if you are not careful.

Travel tip: After the check-in procedure is completed, the checked baggage will be labeled, and experienced tourists should check the label before picking it up. Another effective way is to stick homemade special symbols on the upper and lower sides of the luggage, or tie colored ropes, strips of cloth, etc. Write down the name, address, destination and other information on the handle and the sign inside the luggage, and affix an English label when traveling abroad.

In addition, personal documents and identification are the most important when you are away from home. Some documents that need to be presented during security inspection, such as passports, ID cards, air tickets, boarding passes, etc., are best carried with you, so that in case of an accident in the suitcase, you will not face more troubles.

Situ Hong specially reminded that in China, many airlines require that their checked luggage be locked, and many tourists are used to locking their boxes to ensure the safety of their luggage. But if you want to go to America, remember not to lock it. According to TSA regulations, passengers in the United States? Leave the suitcase unlocked? For the relevant personnel? Manual unpacking inspection of suspicious targets? . This is the United States since 9? 1 1 Some baggage scanning policies introduced after the terrorist attacks. If the luggage is locked, the suitcase may be rudely damaged, causing unnecessary losses.

For the purpose of shopping, our outbound travel should be light.

Case 2

About carrying luggage free of charge

Xiao He traveled abroad for the first time because he was worried about going to the local area. Lack of east and west? I tried my best to stuff my suitcase and brought two handbags for odds and ends. As a result, I found that I was overweight when I checked in, and I had to pay extra for the overweight luggage.

Analysis: Many people like to carry large and small shopping bags with them. They usually take shopping bags when they go shopping or even travel, thinking it is more convenient to carry them scattered. In fact, their luggage is easily lost, and the total weight of many pieces of luggage is difficult to grasp, so it is easy to pay for the excess.

Travel tips: outbound travel requires higher luggage standards, with the key point that luggage must be light, easy to take and put, and it is best to put all items together in a suitcase and a handbag.

Throughout the major airlines, passengers with economy class tickets can usually check at least one piece of luggage for free, and they are also allowed to carry a hand luggage or a small suitcase with them. However, different airlines have different regulations on the size and weight of luggage. At present, most airlines stipulate that the sum of three sides of luggage should not exceed 158 cm, and the sum of three sides of boarding luggage should not exceed 1 15 cm (that is, a 20-inch boarding box). Different airlines have different requirements on weight. For example, China Southern Airlines and Lufthansa stipulate that each piece of luggage should not exceed 23kg, while Cathay Pacific Airlines has 20kg. Passengers flying with children can usually check in a stroller or stroller for free.

Although hand luggage can be carried on the plane for free, its size and weight are also limited. Most airlines require hand luggage to weigh less than 7 kg, and the size is within the range of 56 cm long, 36 cm high and 23 cm wide (this size includes wheels, handles and side pockets).

Situ Hong, a gold medal guide, reminded that in the past, passengers asked to check two boxes, as long as the total weight did not exceed the free quota. But now most airlines flying to Europe have adopted piece-by-piece regulations, and passengers in economy class can only check one piece of luggage for free. If it exceeds the specified quantity, volume or weight, you need to pay the excess baggage fee. Visitors are advised to check online before departure, or consult travel agencies and airlines to find out the relevant regulations of the selected airlines on luggage carrying, so as to determine what specifications of suitcases or handbags to choose.

Different countries have different regulations on the carrying of entry and exit articles, so you'd better check it yourself before you leave.

Case 3

About carrying entry and exit articles

When Mr. Chen accepted the security check before boarding the plane, he found more than ten lithium batteries in his mobile phone. Seeing the boarding time approaching, Mr. Chen finally had to choose to abandon some lithium batteries.

Analysis: Many tourists don't know that when leaving Baiyun Airport, each tourist can only carry two lithium batteries with him, and the extra ones can't be checked, so they can only make a trip for nothing? Sacrifice? . Don't put the extra lithium battery into the consignment box with luck. Take Baiyun Airport as an example. Every piece of luggage checked by passengers has to go through five checkpoints. Once you find any prohibited items, you need to send your luggage back to the ground, so that passengers can open their bags for inspection, which is a waste of time.

Travel tips: different countries have different types of restricted entry and exit items. Countries such as Britain and the United States are relatively harsh. Carrying fruits and other foods on the plane will be confiscated, and you can carry unlimited knives such as knives, but you must check them; In Australia and New Zealand, because agriculture, animal husbandry and horticulture are very important to the local area, anything that may carry parasitic diseases of animals and plants is not allowed to be brought into China, including food, medicinal materials, wood products, seeds and soil. If it is seized by the customs, it will be fined a considerable amount and even imprisoned. No pity at all. An international celebrity was punished for this.

Every country has many detailed regulations in this respect, so it's best to inquire or find a professional tour guide yourself before you leave.

Finally, tourists should think clearly about the purpose of the trip before they leave, so as to pack their travel supplies and suitcases. If shopping is the main thing, it's best to bring a bigger suitcase and leave enough space on the way, so that you can put the things you bought along the way in the box to avoid losing too many bags. If some tourists only like to play and don't like shopping, they just need to bring their own daily necessities and clothes, and the mini suitcase will be more convenient.

? Light? And then what? Strong? It is the key point to choose a suitcase.

Case 4

About purchasing outbound luggage

Miss Huang used her annual leave to travel abroad. After receiving the checked suitcase, she found that the pull rod of the suitcase was broken. She consulted the airport staff and was told that she could claim compensation from the airline, but she had to go through many procedures. In order to avoid wasting time, I have no choice but to tow the broken suitcase away.

Analysis: In the process of consignment, it is inevitable that suitcases will be littered, especially when traveling abroad, which requires continuous transfer to planes, and suitcases with poor quality will be more easily damaged.

Travel tip: Do you want to take a suitcase? Light? And then what? Strong? Two key points, it is advisable to be able to withstand certain pressure. You know, airlines can refuse to accept and transport substandard luggage.

The ideal box should be steel skeleton, waterproof fabric and built-in wheels. As for buying a hard shell or a soft shell, it all depends on personal preference. In addition, the quality of luggage of big brands is usually more secure, and both soft shell and hard shell can stand the test of traveling abroad. For women, it is best to buy a suitcase with universal wheels. Even if the suitcase is heavy, pushing and pulling will not be very laborious.
