How many days can you pack into a carry on?

[Doc_Lobster]

Including running clothes and shoes, and a couple of gift boxes of candy? I am not sure if I should be distressed or just accept my fate.

You're coming to visit me?!

[Doc_Lobster]

No, sadly not.

1? Im an over packer

[Doc_Lobster]

Chicago for 4 days. I can wear my non running shoes, a pair of jeans, a sweater and a rewearable t-shirt, plus my jacket, on the plane.

I can probably stick the candy in my purse, though that makes it fairly vulnerable to predation.

You can absolutely fit all of that for four days! I do this almost every week. Roll your clothes, it saves space.

[gault]

Oh yeah, you'll be fine if you're only going for 4 days.

I use a carryon duffel bag and can fit 5 days worth with room to spare. Includes pair of shoes, hair dryer, food, etc.

I did Chicago for four days last year for a conference. You can do it.

I recently did a week with uniforms, civilian clothes, and running clothes in a (small) carry-on. Living in the UK and traveling in Europe has made me an expert packer.

I do okay for myself. If it's a trip where I want to look nice, maybe a week? The hairdryer / straightener and my cosmetic / toiletries bags take up space (and omg the shoes), but I'm a master at mix and match clothes.

If I don't really care a heck of a lot what I look like and I can consolidate makeup and leave behind the hair stuff, I can stretch it a lot longer. H and I backpacked across Eastern Europe for 2 weeks with some friends, and I could have really done it indefinitely by using laundromats and replenishing toiletries at pharmacies.

What kind of clothes do you have to take? I'd say two pairs of pajamas, and then clothes should be easy to pack plus running clothes. Try to pack outfits you can wear with the same pair of shoes. If you pack flats, it would be easier to fit into one carry-on. Wear your running shoes on the plane and any of your thicker clothes that you plan to wear. Take basic make-up that can go with anything as well to cut down on what you're taking.

I can't use carry-ons only. I'll never forget the time I tried to put all my liquids into a gallon-sized bag and was told at security I could only use a quart-sized bag. I had to throw half my stuff out. Cry cry cry.
