The most important items of your hand luggage
- Important documents (travel documents such as flight tickets, passport, identity card)
- Valuable personal items (purse, jewellery)
- Means of payment
- Medication
- A change of clothes
- Toiletries
- Food and drink
- Technical equipment (e.g. laptop, camera, charging cable, powerbank, headphones)
- Universal socket adapter
Which piece of luggage you use as hand luggage depends on your personal preferences - each brings advantages and disadvantages. A hard-sided suitcase is robust and durable, but weighs an average of 2.5k kg even in a small size, which is not to be underestimated with a maximum weight of 8 kg for hand luggage. A travel bag is lightweight and stows well without contents, but does not offer protection from mechanical impact and is therefore not shockproof. But what about softside suitcases? These are also available as hand luggage and are significantly lighter.

Handgepäck und die Bestimmungen vom Zoll
Wenn du auf Reisen gehst, ist es nicht nur wichtig, die Richtlinien der Fluggesellschaften für Handgepäck zu beachten, sondern auch die Bestimmungen des Zolls. Diese Regeln bestimmen, welche Gegenstände und Waren du in deinem Handgepäck mitführen darfst, insbesondere wenn du internationale Grenzen überquerst.
Welche Waren unterliegen den Zollbestimmungen?
Beim Reisen ins Ausland oder bei der Rückkehr in dein Heimatland gibt es bestimmte Waren, die den Zollbestimmungen unterliegen. Hierzu zählen in erster Linie:
- Alkohol und Tabakprodukte: Die Einfuhr von Alkohol und Tabak unterliegt in den meisten Ländern strengen Beschränkungen. Es gibt festgelegte Mengen, die zollfrei mitgeführt werden dürfen. Alles darüber hinaus muss deklariert und möglicherweise verzollt werden.
- Lebensmittel und Pflanzen: Viele Länder haben strenge Vorschriften zur Einfuhr von Lebensmitteln, insbesondere frischen Produkten, Fleisch oder Milchprodukten. Auch Pflanzen und Samen unterliegen oft strengen Kontrollen, um die Einschleppung von Schädlingen oder Krankheiten zu verhindern.
- Wertvolle Gegenstände: Elektronik, Schmuck oder größere Geldbeträge müssen möglicherweise bei der Einreise deklariert werden, um Probleme beim Zoll zu vermeiden.
Egal, wohin es dich auf deiner Reise verschlägt – wir hoffen, unser Handgepäck Ratgeber hat dir dabei geholfen, bestens vorbereitet zu sein. Gute Reise und viel Spaß beim Packen!
