Travel restrictions have lifted, summer is on the way, and you may be starting to daydream about jetting off to a sandy beach with a bar that serves unlimited cocktails.

But most airlines, especially budget airlines, will only allow you to take one piece ofcarry-on luggageon the plane with you, free of charge. This must fit under the seat in front of you, and if not, you could be facing additional charges.

2. Use compression bags
