I tend to pack light. Although, if I’m driving I totally break that rule. Ha! Learning to pack in only carry on luggage is a feat in itself. After all, who wants to pay to check their bag? I don’t! No matter where I am going and for how long, there are certain items that I tend to always place in my hand luggage. So, I thought I would share my carry on packing list with you.

Have you ever been to Niagara Falls? It’s a great place, and honestly – I LOVE it! I can’t pinpoint exactly why. The natural beauty, the variety of things to do, and the fun family memories all come into play. If you are wondering where to stay when visiting Niagara Falls, I have a fabulous suggestion for you!

When I went to Portugal, I learned a lot about myself and about street art. Upon arrival, I was really taken back by the graffiti in Lisbon. Portugal actually had it in a lot of other places as it was also prevalent in Porto and a bit in Sintra. Nevertheless, I wrote about my experience with Lisbon graffiti here if you would like to hear my thoughts. But I want to show you how lovely the Miradouro Panorâmico de Monsanto was.

What has been going on with the bushfires in Australia lately is no secret, and if you are unaware, a quick Google search or heading here can fill you in. The devastation, heartache, and loss of life have been enormous, and once the fires in Australia are under control, the continent will need to rebuild. That is where you can help by purchasing from the country’s makers.

It’s 2020. Yay! And a new year equals a new color. At least according to Pantone (see here to check out the Pantone Color of the Year 2020). This year’s color is Classic Blue, and I want to encourage you to let it inspire you to travel the globe to find the hue – or at least notice it a bit more as you journey the Pantone universe.
I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever *only* used a carry-on. I pay to check my luggage because I have to take a LOT of specialty toiletries. And as a fashion blogger, I usually have a ton of clothing I bring on trips, so I need space. The bag that goes into the plane itself with me usually just has my electronics, meds, and anything that didn’t fit in the big suitcase haha!
Such a great post! It’s important to learn that carry on luggage has different rules from checked luggage!!
Great tips! I tend to hate checking my bags so I always bring a carryon bag instead. I think I could probably go for two weeks of travel with just a carryon!
I’m a pro at packing in a carry on. I am not paying money to check a bag. Forget that. I see people on planes who don’t drink water their entire flight. They don’t get up to go to the bathroom and they HAVE to be dehydrated!
Knowing what to place on a carry on luggage is essential for any traveller. Sometimes people forget the quantity of liquid that can be carried on a flight (and I’ve had experiences where my lotion /shampoo was confiscated). I also find snacks chips or chocolates to be essential in case I get hungry.
Absolutely loved this list. I kinda have similar things in my carry on or cabin bag. I always like to keep it light, but all my electronics including my laptop, a book, are a must. Maybe it’s just me, but I always prefer a backpack as a carry on, as if it looks too bulky, I just remove some stuff and keep it on me, but if its the other way round, I also try to stuff in my duty-free shopping if applicable, in it, so it becomes easier.
This is quite a useful reckoner for that quick packing. I generally carry most of the stuff that you have detailed, including the headphones and a travel pillow. In addition to all these, my contact lens case 😉 . I am so glad that you detailed out what you cannot carry in these cases. I see a lot of people at the airport fumbling when they get caught with those bottles or batteries.
I am the same way when it comes to carry on bags, always have important things you need to use in case your luggage is missing. These are great tips to remember when traveling!
These are similar to my carry on essentials! I do need to add a reusable water bottle though!
In addition to what you have mentioned, there is practically nothing more that is required. The only other thing that I carry is a file with all my tickets, hotel booking and activities vouchers, my travel insurance papers and my medicine prescriptions.
Having a refillable bottle is a must for us too. Love the lust and it is pretty much similar to ours. We carry our Kindle, hand sanitizer and some protein bars 🙂
Off late I have been packing light to only travel with a carry-on. And, I pretty much carry what you have mentioned. I hate waiting at the carousel for your check-in luggage. Like you mentioned, I do carry a thin notebook and pen to finish my writing jobs during the flight.
Thanks for sharing a detailed list on what to carry on – sometimes I overpack more than the essentials. I always carry change of clothes! Carrying essential medicines and a refillable bottle is a good tip, too!
Thanks for talking about the essentials! It’s good to think about packing well to avoid clutter – sometimes I tend to pack stuff I don’t need. Ug! What a helpful post!
Carry on packages have rules of not carrying liquids more than 100 ml usually. I usually carry a pouch that has small glass containers each not more than 100 ml content, those mostly have my toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. It depends on the length of the trip. Also when there is room in my carry on luggage, I stuff in clothes and also lithium batteries for my drone. You cannot carry lithium batteries in your check-in baggage.
I almost carry everything what you mentioned above but the most important things are definitely medicine and electronics. Rest I can live without them for couple of days haha.
So many incredible packing tips that are so easy to forget!! I love your reminder to pack a change of clothes! It’s really proactive – just in case a need arises. I’m definitely saving this as a simple/quick reminder before travel adventures!
