Are you planning on flying soon? We’re professional travelers who are constantly flying around the world for work.
We’ve been on hundreds of flights, and we can confidently say that we have the best tips for packing your carry-on. Here are our carry-on skips and must-haves for your next flight!
1. Your Shoe Packing Strategy Is All Wrong
You really only need to pack one pair of versatile shoes in your carry-on…or better yet, just wear them on your flight!
You don’t need multiple pairs of shoes — wear a pair that’s versatile and pack the rest in your checked bag. These Hoka Women’s Clifton 10s are plush and comfortable with support that lasts all day. These are our favorite shoes for the parks after hours and miles of testing. They have just the right amount of cushion and keep our feet happy from rope drop to fireworks!
2. Avoid Too Many Toiletries
Bring a few mini toiletries to save space!
Don’t pack all of your toiletries. Only pack the small versions or the things you would NEED if your bag got lost. These Travel Bottles for Toiletries have four leakproof travel-size bottles for shampoo, body wash, and anything else you’d need while away from your checked bag!
3. Your Neighbors Will Thank You for Skipping the Stinky Snacks
Do NOT pack stinky snacks!
When we flew out of Singapore, someone brought on an entire bowl of fish ramen! And while it was probably very good ramen, nobody wants to smell that on the airplane! Opt for prepackaged snacks like chips or sweets to keep things friendly with your neighbor.
4. Avoid Thick Coats and Jackets
Bring a light jacket!
Don’t pack your largest jacket in your carry-on bag; it’ll take up too much space. Either wear it or put it in your checked bag. We love this Women’s Lightweight Athletic Jacket because we can easily carry it when we get too hot, but it’s still comfy and helps keep us warm on cold flights.
5. Keep One Loungefly On You — The Rest Can Wait
Bring a Loungefly Mini Backpack to pack light for the parks!
If you’re going to Disney World, you don’t need all your ears and Loungefly bags in your carry-on — pick one for your first park day (in case your luggage gets lost) and save the space in your carry-on! This Loungefly Stained Glass Sleeping Beauty Mini-Backpack can carry everything you need for a day in the parks without taking up room in your carry-on bag!
