The prospect of going on holiday this summer or later on in the year in general might be something a lot of people are eyeing up.

After a couple of years where travel was disrupted by the Covid pandemic, people may think of 2022 as the first year where some sort of normalcy for going on holiday abroad has resumed.

Current information of the size and weight of baggage allowed in the cabin area of the plane will obviously be crucial to know once you have booked that getaway.

It could in fact end up costing you more if you breach these restrictions, so here are the requirements for airlines such as Ryanair, British Airways and easyJet.
