Travelling with just your carry-on bag is easier than you think, with no need to fork out for extra baggage allowance on your flight. Whether you\u2019re jetting off on a short break<\/a> or a week-long summer holiday<\/a>, there are plenty of hacks to help you make the most of your carry-on bag. And, with checked bags costing up to \u00a380 per person one way, you could save a massive \u00a3320 per couple just by travelling light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holidaying with just your carry-on bag is a huge time-saver, allowing you to skip the dreaded queues at the airport. You\u2019ll also save precious time by not waiting around at the baggage claim \u2013 just hop on the bus and hit the pool as soon as you arrive! Read on for our 5 top tips on how to travel with just a carry-on bag\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Make the most of your carry-on allowance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hand<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making the most out of your carry-on allowance will be your saving grace. All airlines have their own carry-on allowance size and weight, so make sure you do your research prior to your flight. Don\u2019t just grab a small bag you think might be under the allowance \u2013 there are hundreds for sale online that match the airline\u2019s requirements. The allowance is often bigger than you think, so make the most of it! Remember to pre-book your carry-on to avoid any extra charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the major airline\u2019s carry-on allowances:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryanair<\/a> \u2013 40cm x 20cm x 25cm with no weight allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jet2<\/a> \u2013 56cm x 45cm x 25cm with weight allowance of 10kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EasyJet<\/a> \u2013 45cm x 36cm x 20cm with weight allowance of 15kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUI Airways <\/a>\u2013 55cm x 40 x 20cm with weight allowance of 10kg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wizz Air<\/a> \u2013 40cm x 30cm x 20cm with weight allowance of 10kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Roll your clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A trick as old as time \u2013 roll your clothes! Rolling takes up way less space than folding and it means you can fit more items in your carry-on. Plus, when rolled tightly, this packing hack prevents creases in your clothes, so no hunting for the iron when you get to the hotel! For bigger items like winter coats and jumpers, we suggest folding these and placing them at the top of your suitcase \u2013 save the rolling for soft clothing and cotton items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Invest in some packing organisers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cosmetic
Need some assistance? There are hundreds of items out there to help you make the most of your luggage space. Packing cubes are the No.1 hack! Packing cubes compress your items to prevent them from taking up unnecessary space. Perfect for storing clothes, cosmetics, or electronic devices, they come in a selection of different sizes, so your carry-on bag stays neat and tidy. Don\u2019t worry about them adding extra weight either, these handy organisers are super lightweight, and<\/em> they will keep your clothes wrinkle-free \u2013 definitely worth the investment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Plan your outfits wisely <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choose your outfits carefully before you fly. You may be tempted to stuff all your favourite items of clothing into your carry-on but be ruthless! Do you really need trainers when you\u2019re going to be living in flip flops all day? Pack reliable items that you can re-wear and ditch those uncomfortable shoes. Whether you\u2019re headed on a city break<\/a> or a sun-filled getaway, it\u2019s a good idea to wear your heavier items of clothing on the plane, including knitted jumpers and coats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Buy essentials at your destination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leave essentials at home and save precious luggage space. From hair straighteners to bottles of sunscreen, your travel must-haves are usually sold at the resort, a nearby shop, or at the airport. If you\u2019re travelling to a city, there\u2019s even more reason to leave essentials behind with stores on every corner. And while some items may be slightly more expensive than at home, you\u2019ll still have made huge savings by ditching the suitcase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
