Great post, I’ve become the Queen of packing just a carry-on in my house, like you – if I can avoid putting a bag under the plane – I most definitely will!!

I live for Carry On luggage! It gives me anxiety checking in luggage and waiting for it. Great tips!

Thanks for the tips! I avoid checking my bags too, I hate having to wait for them and the fear of the airline losing them makes me really anxious.

I try to avoid checking a bag too! It’s just so annoying. Plus it’s incredible what you can fit in a carry on and an oversized tote bag.

This is amazing and you just challenged me to do carry-on for my next long trip!

I am the odd one. I love checking my bag. In asmall under the seat bag I carry a change of clothes. Why do I check? I am short so sometimes trying to get my bag in and out of the overhead is to hard. Plus I do not have to drag a carry on and a personal to the restroom or fight with them getting on and off.

I’ve traveled a lot in my military carrier and a few things that have to be in there included with your list. A very simple first aid kit (palm size) with basic toiletries and body wipes. You never know when a plane will be held over for HOURS and having something to refresh yourself is a mental boost.
That’s it. -
If I’m going somewhere for more than one or two nights, I almost always check a bag. I’m so curious about people who don’t. The main reason I end up checking is that I’m a runner, and by the time I pack my running shoes and running clothes for several days (even if I wear something more than once), I don’t have room in a carry on for my everyday stuff. And my running shoes are very definitely not cute sneakers, so they don’t do double-duty. Does anyone else deal with this? I’m a very organized packer (think spreadsheets) but I still can’t manage to keep it to a carry-on.

What if you were having a 12-hour layover in London that you plan on exploring? Would you also drag the bag around with you?

Packing efficiently for a 10-day trip really comes down to choosing versatile clothing and maximizing every inch of space. Rolling outfits, sticking to a neutral color palette, and limiting shoes can make a huge difference when working with a carry-on. Durable and well-designed luggage also plays a big role in staying organized throughout the trip. Anyone comparing options might find it helpful to look into away luggage reviews, especially for insights on compartments, weight, and overall practicality for longer travel with minimal bags.
