[quote=Anonymous][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 - [b]I keep my shirts together, my underwear in another. Then wherever I am its easy to just grab a cube to get dressed.[/b] [/quote]
DP, but this is my issue with packing cubes... You end up having to take out every single cube out, open them all and then repack everything just to get dressed. Otherwise I'd just open my suitcase, select a shirt/pant/socks/underwear and.. its fine. [/quote]
