Ryanair has issued 15 rules for passengers to follow when it comes to packing their luaggage - and one of them is "golden". Ryanair has spoken out in a blog post, explaining the 15 tips, tricks and rules passengers and holidaymakers need to follow.

Ryanair is rivalled by the likes of Jet2, TUI, British Airways, Easyjet and more. And explaining its golden rule, it said: "Don’t pack a rucksack in a rush. A little bit of forward planning will definitely pay off. Place heavy items in the middle of your rucksack, or as close to your back as possible – this will put less strain on your back when you’re walking.

"Follow the golden rule of rolling your clothes rather than folding. Not only will this give you more room, but you’ll also find that your clothes are less creased. At check-in, tie all rucksack straps together neatly to prevent them from getting tangled in the carousel when you land."

It also urged customers to make a list of everything you’re planning to pack so you can easily see what you have, what you still need to get before you go and what you can buy at your destination. The airline added: "Pack your shoes first, lining the sides of your case.

"Stuff your shoes with socks and smaller items of clothing, gadgets or jewellery. This will also prevent your shoes from losing their shape. Pack your heaviest items (e.g. shoes, jeans) in the bottom of your wheelie suitcase. You’ll find it’s much easier to roll as the weight will be more evenly distributed.

"Make it easier to spot your checked-in luggage on the carousel, especially if your luggage is black, navy or grey (like 99.9% of the population). Add a colourful luggage tag or ribbon to the handle so that there’s no confusion on arrival."
