[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not do a carry-on and a backpack?[/quote]
+1 we did this to Europe a few months ago. We were there for a week.

Packing cubes
rolled up socks, panties into extra pair of shoes
smaller toiletry bottles - I used contact lense cases
layer on the plane with a sweater and coat or whatever outwear you have[/quote]

OP, here. I will have a backpack as my personal item. I've done all of the above, except packing cubes. How do they help? I have a couple of packing cubes, but I'm not sure how to utilize them in the best way. Thank you, everyone, for your responses! [/quote]

Packing cubes - with clothes rolled inside the cubes - helps me keep things organized. It doesn't always make more space - sometimes if I'm really struggling to fit things - everything rolled and not in a packing cube I can fit things in weird spaces. However, as I learned recently on a trip - when security wanted to look in my bag - I had to take each and every piece of clothing out and re-pack it. With the cubes - I keep my shirts together, my underwear in another. Then wherever I am its easy to just grab a cube to get dressed. [/quote]
