With airlines charging their customers an arm and a leg just to check a bag, more and more people are resorting to the carry-on option when they travel. But you have to get a little creative with your packing when working with limited suitcase space.
Bring items that have multiple uses—like a large scarf that can double into a blanket for chilly transit—and store small articles like socks in shoes for extra space. You can also give office and bath supplies new life to keep your toiletries and accessories tidy in transit. Tricks like these can help you bring everything you need for your trip without getting weighed down.
