One year we shared a ride to the airport with my brother, who was spending a week-end in Chicago. His folded shirts fit neatly into the laptop case, with plenty of room for guidebooks, maps, and other odds and ends his other stuff goes into his small backpack.īelieve me, traveling light is definitely worth it. My DH carries an even smaller backpack, along with a laptop case - sans laptop! He uses neither cubes nor baggies, and does just fine. I don't use packing cubes, but I do use 2-gallon freezer bags. And be sure to check out the packing video someone mentioned upthread. I carry a RS Appenzell daybag as my primary piece of luggage, and then a small shoulder bag for my "personal item." I know you don't want a backpack, but my point is the bag measures 18 x 13 x 6.5, and is plenty big enough for me for even a four week trip - the longest we can get away. Spend a lot of time reading posts on this forum for packing suggestions. Laura, any 21 or 22 inch bag should be big enough.

There are lots of packing tips on this site.

It's so light and can hold a lot and when it's not full it compacts down to nothing. But, please try to pack light - it'll make your trip so much easier! I also use the Civita daypack as my "personal item". I have always been happy with everything I've bought from the RS online store. If you don't want to try the Rick Steves rolling carryon (no backpack straps), there are lots of other bags out there. And I have lots of variety in my clothes-not just wearing the same thing over & over. For me, the hardest part is limiting myself to 3 pairs of shoes (heaviest worn on the plane and 2 packed). Since you're going to Italy in September, it shouldn't be too hard since the weather is still going to be very warm - thus lighter clothing. With the use of 4 packing cubes, I can fit everything I need. (I like the convertible backpack straps so I can lug it up stairs). Laura, I have used the Rick Steves rolling backpack for 2-3 week trips to Europe for the past few years. It would make it a lot easier for consumers. I think the luggage companies should truthfully advertise the dimensions of their products by stating the outside measurements and not the interior. I am sure there are people who have "gotten" away with carry on's which exceeded 22" by a smidgen. So the suggestion to read comments when buying online would be prudent or if possible to bring your tape measure with you when you go shopping at brick and mortar stores. I would hate to arrive at the airport gate with what I thought was a carry on, only to find that I was required to check it in.

While I really liked the Travel Pro Nuance 21, I had to return it. So the Travel Pro Nuance 21" that I ordered turned out to be nearly 23" tall when I measured it while the Travel Pro Spinner 3 21" barely measured 22". Of course, you don't find this out until after you get the suitcases.

So when the luggage company advertise that it is a 22", it means the inside, not the outside including the wheels and depressed handle. I bought a few online, but when I received them, there were disclaimers that stated: "Dimensions are for suitcase compartment only and do not include external components such as wheels, feet, and handles". I had shopped around for a spinner carry on that would not exceed the 14 X 22 X 9" requirements for United Airlines. I agree with Edgar about not relying on the dimensions stated by the ads of different luggage companies.
