Three things to know before you pack.
-
Liquids in one clear bag
Most airports still limit cabin liquids to containers of 100 ml (3.4 oz) in one small clear bag. Keep it at the top of your bag for security.
-
Wear the heaviest things
Jacket, sweater and your bulkiest shoes go on you. The bag holds only what is left.
-
Check the size before you pack
Cabin bag limits differ by airline, and low-cost airlines are strict. Look up yours and measure the bag with its wheels.
Frequently asked questions
How many days can I travel with only a carry-on?
As many as you like, if you can wash clothes. Pack for five days and do laundry: three tops, two bottoms, and underwear and socks for each day.
Can I bring a power bank in my carry-on?
Yes, and that is where it has to be: airlines do not allow spare lithium batteries in checked bags. A very large power bank can be refused, so check your airline's limit.
