Airline passengers are being advised to fly with only one carry-on bag when they go on holiday.Travellers have also been told to not check-in luggage to avoid delays.According to aviation workers representative, the GMB Union, disruption is limited when people don't check-in luggage.In the past week, hundreds of flights across the United Kingdom be cancelled due to shortage of staff.This comes after thousands of aviation workers were let go from their jobs after the pandemic.

National secretary of the GMB Andy Prendergast, told the Daily Telegraph: "It is one less thing to worry about. If people can check in online and do not take bags, that limits the disruption."It's not a magic bullet but it does reduce the chance of there being problems."Giving his take on the new advise, Paul Charles, chief executive of travel consultancy PC Agency, said: "The smaller the bag, the less time you spend in security queues. That would reduce the queues during the busiest weekend of the year so far."

John Irving, chief executive of Liverpool Airport, told BBC's Today programme: "I think people have to make their own decisions to be honest on what they think is right for them, whether or not that's carrying hand luggage or getting there three hours earlier than their flight."Since 25 May, at least 377 flights from the UK have reportedly been cancelled.On Saturday 28, May, police were seen at Manchester Airport telling passengers that their flights had been cancelled and that they would be getting refunds. Travellers were also told that they would be getting a £350 compensation, as well as a £200 holiday voucher.

Industry body Airlines UK state that there were over 140,000 airports and airline staff before the pandemic. However since Covid, over 30,000 staff from UK airlines were laid off from work.

It's been reported that the industry is taking action to refill the job roles.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said the industry's problems 'does not excuse poor planning and overbooking flights that they cannot service'.

He added that airlines should have prepared for a 'surge in passenger demand following two years of travel closures'.
