I had my luggage pieces in my basement probably for six months. Well they started to smell “moist” and a but like mildew. I brought them upstairs and sprayed them with Febreeze numerous times and lined them with drier sheets. I’ve had them upstairs now for a good year, and they still smell. HELP!
Is activated charcoal the same as activated carbon? And can I get this at a hardware store or Lowe’s?

Am I allowed to take a bag of clothes as hand luggage on a flight?

I’m a resort rep for the summer and only taking around 40-60 kilos of stuff with me, but I thought I could take a beach bag with some vest tops/shorts etc to make room in my case for the important things (my pillow! hehe) is this allowed? I know that they were cutting down on hand luggage recently.
Btw, I’m given extra kilos as I’ll be leaving the UK for six months! (60kilos if I get a flight with my company, 40 with someone else!)
