Tips for packing luggage for studying in the UK;
1, heavy items are placed at the bottom of the suitcase;
2. First enlarge an item;
3. Underwear and sweater are rolled into a tube first;
4. Easily damaged items can be wrapped in clothes;
Handkerchiefs, socks and other small items can be put in the remaining space. The closer you put things, the less luggage is damaged.
6. Each piece of luggage should be marked with its name, address in Britain and contact telephone number. If you don't have an address, you can write down the address of the international student adviser's office or the address of your schoolmate.
The contact address and telephone number in Britain should also be put in the luggage. In case the name tag on the outside of the luggage is lost, the airline can open the luggage and find the contact clue of the luggage owner.
Air consignment and carry-on baggage
1. Air checked baggage
Generally, two pieces of 23kg luggage can be checked for free for each air ticket. The total height and width of a piece of luggage must be within 158 cm. Together, the two pieces shall not exceed 270 cm.
It's best not to have any luck, so as not to be overweight and freight. (The airline needs to be consulted for specific shipping regulations. )
2. Because of the risk of loss and damage by sea, the freight is similar to random consignment, which is suitable for important luggage.
However, looking after multiple pieces of luggage by one person will bring a heavy burden to the journey. If no one helps, he must consider his own handling ability.
B, carry your luggage on the plane
1. There is no restriction on hand luggage in the plane, but the total height and width should be within 1 15 cm. In principle, the standard can be placed in the isolation cabin at the top of the seat.
2. It is appropriate to decide the number of luggage to carry according to your own ability, and try to be as light as possible, so as not to add too much burden to yourself during the journey.
Before studying in the UK: Post luggage after going abroad.
Some things may not be known whether they will be needed until they arrive in Britain. When you arrive in Britain, you can make a list according to your actual needs and ask your family or relatives to send it.
It is also important to determine the domestic liaison office before going abroad. If it is a small thing, it can be airlifted or mailed; If it's big luggage, unless it's urgent, you can choose cheaper sea transportation or land-air combined transportation. If you need to ship by sea, you must be mentally prepared and wait for about two months.
