Pack smart and travel light with this carry-on only checklist.

• Check airline and personal item size/weight limits

  Confirm dimensions and weight for carry-on and personal item before packing.

• Choose a versatile capsule wardrobe

  Pick neutral colors and interchangeable pieces for mix-and-match outfits.

  Wear your heaviest shoes on travel day to save space.

  Include needed adapter(s) and remove chargers you won't use.

• Keep travel documents, cards, and a slim wallet accessible

  Store boarding pass, passport/ID, and emergency card in an easy-to-reach spot.

• Weigh your packed carry-on at home and adjust to meet limits

  Use a luggage or bathroom scale; move or remove items if overweight.
