Buy a duty free package

After passing through airport security and before boarding, you will see a number of duty free shops where you can buy a variety of goods. The traveller advises buying something like a pack of chocolates or a drink to get a duty free bag, where you can put things that don’t fit in your hand luggage.

Wear a cross-body bag

The traveller explained that airport security never pays much attention to such bags. You can hide it under your jacket or under a jumper. The number of things you can put in a cross-body bag will really surprise you.

Take a pillow for travelling

The traveller tips stuffing small clothes, such as socks and bikinis, into it instead of packing them in your hand luggage. Travelling pillows don’t take up much space and can help you out if something doesn’t fit in your bag.
