CARRY ON packing top tips & My Mistakes

Here is what I have learnt so far in my journey of long term travel. This is one area of my travels that I didn't plan well but it is a very important area.
There is a minimal weight allowance for carry on bags which I have given up on but I still do insist on only one carry on bag. I do not want to lug around large suitcases.
So here are my tips so far, learning is a part of getting to know yourself and what you want and I have come a long way in 6 months. Maybe in another 6 I can refine this a bit more.

It’s really stupid…unless they’re also weighing passengers, they shouldn’t be nickel and diming people over a sweater that probably weights less than half a pound. If I show up, all of 125 lbs and have a bag that is 17 lbs I have to break out my wallet. But Mr. McTwinkiesForLunch weighs 350 pounds and has a 12 pound carryon and he doesn’t have to pay anything extra. The system is broken.

Yes we were having that same discussion, it doesn’t make sense at all.

[@stucumins8511]

Yes that has been a gripe of mine for years.

There's an airline that is starting to weigh people with their luggage now.

[@michellestevens2454]

I am amazed that all of those clothes fit in that little bag. Impressive!

[@Talaylife]

Squeeze them in, there’s always an extra crevice.

Love the yellow bucket hat.....😊

that's my fave

Thanks for your comments about the 7 kilos being unrealistic. It totally is. We're taking our kids for six weeks to Europe soon just using carry on sized bags, but are not aiming for the 7kgs because it's just too much worry and hassle (our bags will be around the 10kg mark). A checked bag comes with our airfare from NZ anyway. Happy travels!

[@Talaylife]

Hope you have a great time and 10kg would be a more reasonable amount.

Fantastic content .
Especially love that it's Australian.
Where did you buy your rust coloured high waist , wide leg pants from please ?

[@Talaylife]

@@janetipper2509 Sunshine Coast, enjoyed many times up there 😊

[@binfacelardgod1906]

Wow! At that cost, I think i would have ditched the jumper or wear it!

[@Talaylife]

I know, but he wasn’t expecting that. No one ever tells you to do that, for that price he could have bought a really nice jumper.

Do tricks like putting your heavy power brick in your pocket and wearing your charging cords like bracelets work? On my airplane days, I've worn more articles of clothing than necessary because I bring small bags and don't leave room for souvenirs. I can't imagine all the time and effort for stain removal with those white clothing items

[@Talaylife]

I’ve known people to carry those in their pockets and I sometimes put things in mine and yes I will wear more clothes too. I don’t spend too much time removing stains it’s just something I’m willing to accept because I like white

[@KC-nb3st]

Jetstar personnel is the reason I will never use Jetstar.

[@Talaylife]

Haha, yes, we’ve never had a problem on the plane but at check in they can be a bit rude at times even when you’re polite and on our last encounter very unhelpful.
