PACKING to go on holiday can be tricky if you're only taking hand luggage – with weight restrictions and liquid limits making it even more complicated.
To make it easier, some former flight attendants have revealed the essential item that they swear by.
The women have shared the products they pack to reduce the amount of liquids they're carrying with Metro.
