- Carry valuables and medications in your carry-on bag. Most airlines are now charging for checked luggage. Check with your airlines for current weight and luggage restrictions. Put luggage tags on all your bags and include your name and address both inside and outside all luggage and carry-ons. You may want to put an extra suitcase inside your bag for souvenirs. Travel light and try to check one bag going to England.
