Checklist for a short trip
For a trip of two or three days, carry-on luggage is often enough on its own: it avoids the wait at the baggage carousel and, if it fits within the airline's allowed dimensions, involves no additional charges.
Carry-on luggage: what to check before
Traveling with only carry-on luggage makes sense when the stay is short, but requires checking in advance the exact dimensions allowed by your chosen airline (here are the updated rules): some low-cost airlines charge a fee even for a few centimeters of excess. The 100 ml limit on liquids remains valid as on any other flight.
Multi-functional clothes and travel-size products
Choosing versatile garments that mix and match easily reduces the total number of pieces needed. Travel-size products are enough for two or three days without having to carry full-size packages, freeing up additional space in your luggage.
What to leave at home without worries
For such a short trip, the hotel laundry is almost always unnecessary: the luggage you bring is enough for the entire stay. Even a small forgotten item weighs less in this case, because getting home is never far away in time.
The most useful tip: check the exact carry-on dimensions allowed by your airline before choosing your trolley, because they're the only limit that truly varies from one airline to another.
