Always take it on vacation: the item Brits can not do without
When packing for a vacation, many people face a stressful process of trying to remember everything they need. But for the British, it is very important to have one item with you at all times.
Of course, you need to check all your documents and clothing options before you go. But, as it turned out, the British consider it important to take tea bags on a trip, writes the Daily Star.
This is evidenced by Travelbag data, according to which more than 11 million people in the UK do not want to spend a hard day and take their tea bags with them.
It is noted that for the British, the most important things to take on the road are food - 11 out of 15.
In addition, before vacationing, you should familiarize yourself with the rules of entry to the chosen destination. Some countries can be very strict about what you are allowed to take with you. By the way, you can be fined for carrying a sandwich in your purse.
Do not forget about the rules of baggage transportation
If you prefer to take hand luggage into the cabin, keep in mind the airline's rules. As a rule, they allow you to carry up to 100 ml of liquid. Note that baked beans are one of the prohibited items for hand luggage.
Don't forget that your luggage will be checked when you board the plane, and in order not to delay the queue, it is better to put the food in the luggage compartment. This is stated in a warning from the British government, which says that "food and powders in carry-on luggage can make it difficult to get images on X-ray machines. You may need to check your bags".
The fact is that certain food items may appear suspicious on X-ray images during airport security screening, which can lead to additional checks.
In addition, some foods are considered liquids and therefore must comply with the rules (i.e., have a volume of less than 100 ml and be placed in a transparent bag with other liquids).
This includes jam, honey, and peanut butter - and even Marmite, which 5% of Brits said they take on vacation. It is also better to put cheese in your hand luggage. However, if you want to bring soft cheese, it should be packed according to the rules for carrying liquids as described above.
