Inspired by the new charge for carry ons thread

[chirurgeon]

What do you usually carry on, or plan to carry on on your next trip? Me, I am bringing one of those rolling computer carry ons that you are able to pack a change of clothes in and the backpack I will be using in the parks.

I bring an average wheeled carry-on over-night bag that I normally gate-check and then I bring my Camera/laptop (Technology) bag which is a slightly larger backpack.

I bring one of those rolling laptop cases too, and use it to carry on my camera as well as my laptop and any other electronics, plus all of those "in case my checked bags don't show up" things (change of clothes, etc.).

I also carry on a tote bag, that contains my purse, kindle, etc. It is usually pretty empty on the way down, but I always end up with a few things that don't fit in my suitcase on the way back home, so the extra space comes in handy.

I can manage with my rolling computer bag for a night or two, but for 2-4 days I need the regular sized rolling carry on. More than 4 nights and I break down and check a bag.

My standard carry on and personal item are in this photo. My PCC 1.0 sling pack and the faux leather Disney hand bag. I am not a light packer, so I could never fit a trip in carry on alone. My meds alone fill up most of the Disney bag.

I have two tote bags I bought at Disney and a laptop bag. I bring DVD player, toys from my DS4, change of clothes, meds, phones, cameras, chargers, food stuff that can be brought through TSA like chips, etc. book, ipod, my Disney planner book. It never all fits. I end up using a backpack too.

We take a Disney tote or small duffle bag (both of which fit under the seat easily.) We use it for my husband's meds, my kindle, my handbag, camera, and travel information. Everything else gets checked. If my luggage gets lost..I'll buy what I need. I get really annoyed with people who have to carry on everything they own.

Is there going to be room for Jaime and Jen in the room this May?

Mike, How do you like that green bag? What can you fit in there?

If it's just a weekend trip, I only pack a carry-on bag with my stuff, and use my laptop carrier to pack magazines, gum, mints, chargers, iPod, etc., etc.

Since my next trip is fly down Fri, half marathon Sat, fly home Sunday I plan on only carrying on one small roller bag. It is plenty small enough to fit in the bins. I may also bring a backpack if needed which will be small enough to fit under the seat.

On my next trip I will have a backpack for my carry on and one checked bag. I have my laptop, small purse, phone, cameras and all the cords in the backpack. I have been getting better at packing lighter. I will be packing a small duffel bag incase I need it as a carry on coming home.

Mike, How do you like that green bag? What can you fit in there?

It is actually two bags. The front part zips off and becomes a backpack and can hold smaller items. It the main bag, it holds a couple of days worth of clothes, another pair of shoes, light jacket, and a small shaving kit. I actually have an older version of this bag but it works the same. That bag has a ton of miles on it and it keeps on going.

If I am on a long trip, I pack a large suitcase that is checked if flying, then I have my rolling Computer Bag and a Messenger Bag for Carry on. I will do laundry on longer trips, but I usually end up over packing regardless.

I haven't really flown for short trips, other than last December for DAP and I was on Southwest, so since the checked bag was free, I took my larger bag and I had more clothes than I needed as I was packing for changing weather conditions between home & WDW.

I am contemplating on trying to fly carry-on only for a weekend fall trip. Not sure if I can manage it though. The flights with the best schedule/price are on Delta, which the Checked luggage fees RT would be $50.00 extra.

I carry on a Disney Tote Bag, which holds my purse, magazines, misc. paperwork, phone charger, meds, MP3 player, camera, batteries and any other little things that I might need before getting the checked luggage.

On the way to Disney World I normally just have my backpack with my laptop and camera in it. I pack an empty duffel bag in my checked luggage and use it along with my backpack on the way home.

I haven't flown in a long time, but I usually carry a small quilted duffell as my carry on. I pack a change of clothes, book, snack, purse, meds, and valuables I don't want to check. We will be flying for the first time in 3 years next month so I have to think about these things again!

I have a small roller bag (the size of a computer bag) that I use as a carry-on. It's small enough that it fits under the seat in front of me if necessary. This holds the electronics, camera, etc., and the things I have to have in case the checked bag doesn't show up.

I also carry a small shoulder totebag that holds my park bag and Kindle, leaving me some extra packing space in case I have more on my return trip than I do when I head out.

We usually don't check more than a standard sized rollerbag apiece.

I use my backpack that is actually a snowboarding backpack, but the thing is as durable as they come. I bought it in 2001 and it has been EVERYWHERE with me and still goin! It doesn't look real big, but holds a LOT of stuff, much more than a typical school backpack(and has DURABLE zippers to boot)

I usually put all of my electronics and whatever else I need in that bag. Then I carry my laptop separately(though I can usually also fit it in the bag) but my laptop case is just a sleeve so I don't have to take it out when I go through security.

I'm heading to WI next week, but it's an extended trip, so I'll be driving. Thus, I'm saving all the podcasts for my trip!

I did manage to do a weekend trip to Disney once and only packed my backpack. That was the last weekend of PI...may it rest in peace.
