Holidaymakers flying with TUI can now enjoy more flexibility when packing their hand luggage, as the airline has introduced a new policy allowing passengers to carry up to four items onboard.
The updated rules mean travellers no longer need to squeeze everything into a single cabin bag. Instead, they can bring additional small essentials, making journeys smoother and more convenient.
What Can You Bring?
Under the revised policy, passengers are permitted:
- One standard cabin bag (max dimensions 55x40x20cm)
- One small personal item (e.g., handbag or laptop bag)
- Duty-free purchases
- An additional small item (e.g., umbrella or coat)
Why the Change?
TUI's decision comes as part of efforts to enhance customer experience and align with industry standards. A spokesperson for the airline stated: "We want to make travel as stress-free as possible for our customers. This change gives passengers more flexibility while maintaining safety and comfort onboard."
What You Need to Know
While the new rules offer more freedom, there are still important restrictions:
- All items must fit within the specified size limits
- Weight restrictions still apply (typically 10kg total)
- Some airports may have additional security requirements
The policy applies to all TUI flights departing from UK airports, including popular holiday destinations across Europe and beyond.
Expert Travel Tips
To make the most of the updated allowance:
- Pack heavier items in your main cabin bag
- Use your personal item for valuables and travel documents
- Consider collapsible bags for duty-free purchases
- Check weight limits before arriving at the airport
The changes come as airlines increasingly recognise the importance of passenger comfort, particularly after the challenges of pandemic-era travel restrictions.
