The main difference between hand luggage and personal items is their dimensions.
Airlines use the criteria:
- Width up to 23 cm.
- Height up to 26 cm.

Cosmetics and medicines
With regard to decorative and care cosmetics, restrictions apply to products exceeding a volume of 0.1 liter. Various blush, eyeliner, powder and other dry textures will not raise questions from customs officials.
A prerequisite for the transportation of medicines is the availability of instructions for use.
Digital technology
Air carriers allow digital equipment with one mobile phone restriction. You can take it with you to the salon, but the device must be turned off. This is a safety requirement because a mobile phone can interfere with electronics on board an aircraft.
Most airlines have the same criteria for hand luggage:
- Length no more than 56 cm, height 46 cm, width 25 cm.
- Weight varies from 3 to 15 kg, each airline has its own requirements.
- Carriage of strollers
- Often on board you can find babies; for the convenience of their movement, parents take a stroller.
All airlines have different requirements for the carriage of transport for babies, but they can be boiled down to several:
- Strollers and strollers with changing units are checked in luggage.
- For children under 2 years old, the stroller can be transported free of charge.
- The weight of the vehicle is also limited.
- If the stroller is carried without a child, it is calculated like any baggage. Its weight is added to the suitcase. In case of an overweight, you will have to pay according to the airline's fare.
Although the rules for transportation of airlines are similar, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the requirements on the official website.
