[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ‘fly direct’ people in this thread seem to be the lucky few who haven’t had their $$$ non stop flight be changed to one with a connection or two. And that’s for the same price with no voucher or refund provided.

My new rule is book a decent connection for cheap and carry on only. I’m a big over packer, but I will adjust. Also found some nice travel backpacks to double the ‘carry on’ that still fit under the seat.

I have no clue how anyone can pack enough clothes, etc. in a small carry on and personal item.

I also don’t know how you handle makeup and toiletries in a carry on.

Are you going on super short trips? Are you staying in AirBnbs with laundry rooms?

I know two families in Italy this summer whose luggage didn’t make it. Both flew out of Dulles. [/quote]

We are in Europe now. Everyone got one carry on and a backpack. Worked out fine for us. I have travel size toiletries.[/quote]

Do you not wear special face cream, moisturizer, foundation, etc? I struggle with keeping the liquids under the security threshold. [/quote]

Leave the "special creams" behind -- in fact, leave all of it behind. You're on vacation -- live a lilttle and let your face breathe.[/quote]
