The holidays are right around the corner and that means you probably have some travel plans coming up…and will potentially be transporting a few gifts to and fro. Don’t you want lightweight carry on luggage to transport all those goodies?
We all know the annoyances of dealing with checking luggage. First, you have to drag huge bags for miles through the airport. Then, you have to wait in endless lines to check in those bags. And just when you finally think you can let loose of that baggage, you hear that your suitcase is a few pounds of the allowable weight. Goodbye $50+.
Misery loves company and everyone else in that airport with large luggage is feeling the same way you are.
Oh, and don’t even get me started on the frustrations of picking up your bags once you arrive at your destination. Raise your hand if you’ve lost luggage, had someone else mistake your luggage for their own, or had to wait for 5 other flights to offload before yours. Thinking about these just makes me want to SCREAMMM!

American Stoic Sophrosune Carry On Luggage Backpack – and it’s only 2 lbs!
When I travel carry on only, I usually choose a backpack because I can fit a lot of stuff inside without it looking big. Living in Europe and flying Ryanair a lot, hard cases are not an option as you have to pay for them to get onboard, even if they are carry on size.
The more I travel, the more I realize how important it is to manage luggage weight for the suitcase itself! This is a good compilation, will definitely explore these recommendations out!
Wow I love this for my travel adventure especially the U.S. Traveler Rio Carry-on Lightweight Expandable Rolling Luggage 2-Piece Set is my favorite 🙂
