Rick offers some good advice, but the 9 thickness of his recommended carry-on exceeds the limit for both Ryanair and Vueling (20 cm or 7. 9. Many intra-European flights marketed by British Airways and Iberia are actually codeshare flights operated by Vueling, so the smaller size limits apply. Also, Rick's self-imposed weight limit of 20 pounds exceeds the carry on limits for Alitalia, Swiss, and Scandinavian (8 kg or 17. 6 pounds. If you only discover this at the gate, you may incur significant fees. If you want to take the larger/heavier bags, it might be cheaper to check the bag. EasyJet has the most generous carry-on restrictions, allowing bags up to 22x17. 8x9. 8 with no weight restrictions. This is actually slightly larger than the restrictions for most US carriers. On the other hand, EasyJet does not allow a purse or other personal item, unless you buy a more expensive seat or have special status.

Rick I really love your shows. I am a Handicapped Senior Citizen. Due to my injuries Neck wallets or Money Belts are not an option. I have however found a solution that allows me to carry everything I require for my day trips around Costa Rica. I bought a Fishing vest and the clear inside pocket hold my Passport and Medical information, The other deep inside pockets hold my keys, wallet and any other valuables. I keep my camera gear, odds and ends, munchies, and another wallet with my day money on the outside of the vest. It is very comfortable to wear and convenient to use. Perhaps you can improve on the design if you believe there is a market for it?

Not sure about American planes but many carriers only allow 7. 5 KG for economy passengers carry-on. I find I need around 10 - 13
kgs for a decent trip to the Mediterranean which has always meant I need Check-in luggage. There is also stuff they wont allow in carry-on. My personal favorite is a 50 Litre combo wheelie back-pack. You can mostly drag them but if needed they can be carried on your back for short distances easily.

After 2 trips to Italy I now agree with Rick on packing light. There is no way I can have all that I need in one bag such as that. Well, he is right about having just one bag. If my bag was smaller I could carry it and not have to drag it over these cobblestone For the third trip I have come to believe what Rick has been saying all along.

If you run out of room, get your camera crew and brow-beaten submissive interns to carry it. For stuff exceeding that capacity, use the PBS slush fund that American tax payers are forced to fund on pain of imprisonment.

Best information clip Ive seen. Straight to the point no wasted waffling on which drives me mad. I often think its more about the presenter than the product. Thank you.

No laptop, Camera, or books? what about a spare pair of shoes? Seems like a second bag might be necessary for the plane ride, etc.

Most Airlines have a 7kg weight limit for carry on Baggage. how does that work out if the carry on convertible is your only luggage
