10 Tips to Pack for 10 Days Carry-On

Since airlines introduced paid luggage, we have tried everything to avoid those fees. Checking in baggage is no longer the luxury it formerly was and so I’ve had to come up with alternatives. And the best alternative is to travel with carry-on. So I devised ten carry-on tips to help pack for ten days.

2×5 = 10

For 10 days of travel, 2 bottoms, and 5 tops.

Mix and Match

Make sure all your outfits go together so you have any number of outfits to choose from during your vacation.

Be Savvy About the Clothes You Wear

Wear the heaviest clothes you own.

Pack Travel-size Toiletries

Most pharmacies sell travel-size toiletries, but if you can’t find what you are looking for then purchase travel-size bottles under 100ml to keep in your carry-on.

Use Packing Cubes

Chances are you will be living out of that suitcase, so invest in some packing cubes to find what you are after quickly and keep things in order.

Choose Your Electronics

Make wise decisions on whether you really need a camera or just your phone.

Minimize Cables and Chargers

Once you have your electronics all set, minimize the cables and chargers.

Do Your Laundry

Carry a spare packing cube or bag to stuff that laundry in.

Take Scales

The best way to be prepared for 10 days in one carry-on is with a travel scale.

Buy Smart Gifts

Pick gifts like magnets, key rings, items of clothing, plush toys, postcards, stickers.
