Don't forget your ID!

Make sure you bring your identity documents with you, even for a domestic flight. A passport or national identity card is checked by many airlines before they will allow you to board the flight. If you don't have the correct documentation with you, you may find that you cannot board, and it's very unlikely you will be reimbursed for the cost of the ticket.

Laptops

Laptops may be taken on board as hand baggage in many cases. Check with your airline before you leave, and ask about size restrictions so that you can check the measurements are within the size allowed. Even if laptops are permitted on your flight, if your laptop is too big, it won't be allowed in the cabin.
