Whether or not you’re traveling with baggage, it’s important to keep some essential items in your carry-on luggage. After all, you never know if your baggage could be delayed, or worse. Here are some of the most crucial items to keep in your carry-on luggage no matter how much space you have in your main luggage.

A Change of Clothes

Say your bags go missing. While you wait for them, you may feel dirty after a long flight. As a result, it would be worthwhile to pack a spare set of clothes in your carry-on bag so that you can at least freshen up after you land.

Small Toiletries

Although too many liquids pose a problem, you should at least pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, and some deodorant in your carry-on bag. After all, if you have bad breath after napping on the plane or simply want to freshen up, such items come in handy. Again, make sure to keep in line with liquid requirements.

Portable Charger

While there are power outlets on many planes, you can’t be sure that you’ll definitely find one on your specific flight. Also, if your phone has a low battery as you’re charging through the airport, you probably won’t want to waste time searching for a power outlet. With a portable charger, you’ll never have to have these concerns again.

If you’re taking a short trip, looking to save money on baggage fees, or perhaps just looking for a smoother airport experience, then travelling with carry-on luggage only is an ideal solution. Still, packing light comes with its own set of challenges given the limited space and weight on offer. Here are some tips to help you travel with carry-on luggage only.

Remember Your Personal Item

What’s great with many airlines is that they allow you to bring a personal item on board the aircraft in addition to your carry-on luggage. This could be a purse, laptop bag, or even a musical instrument. Make sure to take advantage of this perk so as to maximize what you can travel with. A large tote bag could also pass as a personal item, making for a great way to bring extra baggage.

Use Packing Cubes

In addition to keeping items separate and easier to find, packing cubes are also good at compressing these items and minimizing the space they take up. Simply divide up your possessions by category and pack them in separate packing cubes before putting those in your carry-on.

Pack Cosmetics Carefully

Even if you are intent on applying makeup on vacation, remember that you don’t need to take your entire collection with you. Also, consider decanting large bottles of liquids into smaller bottles that are more appropriate for the shorter trip.

Planning outfits for your next trip is heaps of fun. Figuring out how to fit them all into your luggage… not so much.

Clothes tend to take up a bunch of room in a suitcase, particularly if it’s winterwear. Sweaters, coats, and boots all take up massive amounts of space, leaving little capacity for anything else. There are a few options for what to do.

You could take an extra case. The downside of this, however, is that it can be fairly expensive to check in another bag and you have to lug it around with you on your trip. And worse comes to worst: the airline loses your luggage. Eeek!

Considering how many cons there are to this plan, it’s not our go-to.

There is, however, another way.

Every traveler needs a neck pillow when they fly. How else do you intend to get some shut-eye in those very uncomfortable seats? Well, there are now neck pillows that double as storage space, like the Tube Travel Neck Pillow or the Dot & Dot Twist Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow. 

The nifty accessory is hollowed out, offering enough room to stuff it with any item of clothing you wish. Obviously, don’t put anything too hard as the pillow does serve the purpose of supporting your neck at the end of the day.

So, you decided to go on a short vacation, for only 3-4 days, how fun! You’re getting ready to pack, and you decided to pack “light” this time. So which is better—a suitcase or a trolley?

Where You’re Going

First of all, you need to understand where you are going. If you are going on a backpacking trip, sleeping in a tent in nature, of course, you are better off with a backpack. If you are flying by plane to a big city, and staying in a hotel, you will probably be more comfortable with a trolley.

Access

Keep in mind, that even if you are traveling to a city, in some cities there is no easy access to the hotel. In some East Asian cities, for example, access can be via high staircases. In this case, it is better to travel with a backpack and not carry a suitcase.

What You’re Taking

Think about what you need to take with you, and whether it will be more convenient for you to pack your clothes in a backpack or small suitcase. For example, if you know you will need more than one pair of shoes (say day and evening shoes), you will probably be less comfortable packing them in a backpack.

When traveling in a plane, it’s easy to forget something obvious that you might’ve wanted to take in your carry-on luggage.

But did you know that you might also be forgetting things that aren’t so obvious?

Travel can be intense, long, and stressful, and it isn’t always obvious what you’ll need to take with you. So here are four recommendations for things that you never knew you needed to take with you in your carry-on.

Lotion

The recycled, stale air in planes can dry out your skin very quickly. No one wants to have ashy skin, so be sure to take lotion with you to be sure that your skin is taken care of.

Portable Charger

It can be absolutely impossible to find outlets in an airport. And if your plane doesn’t have them, forget about having a charged phone. Take a portable, battery-powered charger with you to ensure that your phone won’t run out of battery.

A Small First-Aid Kit

You won’t have space for a big first-aid kit will all of the things that you might need for travel, but it wouldn’t hurt to pack a small one. Include bandaids, gauze, and other small first-aid essentials that you might need.

Antibacterial Wipes

Traveling puts you in contact with lots of germs. Touching things that have been touched by millions of other travelers can get you sick really quickly. Use antibacterial wipes to clean off anything you can imagine to ensure that you won’t get sick.
