TUI, Jet2, Ryanair, and easyJet passengers are being urged to pack a roll of cling film ahead of their travels.

Holidaymakers jetting off this summer, and who plan to bring jewellery items such as earrings, rings, and necklaces have received crucial advice.

A specialist at Pandora UK, Sarah Rowlands, explained: "Take a large piece of cling film and lay your jewellery out about 5cm apart on one half of the film. Then fold the other half of the cling film over so the jewellery is encased in film.

"Lastly, gently roll up the cling film with your jewellery inside so it will be compact and tangle-free for packing in a little box or pouch."

A great hack is to make use of small plastic bags and put your chains 90% but leave the ends dangling out."

"Seal the bag as usual and this will prevent any tangling of necklaces, chains, bracelets or anklets."

Sarah continued: "Reuse an old piece of cardboard of polystyrene and pierce little holes for your earrings to get through.

"Or pierce earrings through a fresh cotton ball for safe transport. This is better than storing multiple earrings loose in a little bag or pouch where they can bash each other and cause damage."

She continued: "It goes without saying to consider leaving very special or precious jewellery at home, especially if it's very valuable. Unless the item is insured, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Some people even purchase cheaper versions of their engagement or wedding rings to take on holiday instead."

Generally, there's no need to take off your jewellery when going through airport security in the UK, as reported by Birmingham Live.

However, metal jewellery can occasionally set off the metal detectors, potentially leading to additional screening or even a request for a full-body scan.

To sidestep any hassle or hold-ups, it's usually wise to remove your jewellery and stow it in your hand luggage before passing through security.
