You can also gain elite status or buy First Class to avoid bag fees.. admittedly that may be a more expensive way to go!
If you can’t fit it in a carry on bag you don’t need it.Unless you are going to a wedding or something of that nature..I can get enough for one week in my bag.Then you can do laundry or send it out (in your hotel)or drop it off at a laundry and pick it up the same day.I never pay to have my bag on the plane.Plus you don’t have to wait for luggage when you get off the plane.
It is impossible to get everything into carry on if you are like us-scuba divers. We each need 1 bag just for the gear (which is not optional for diving). We combine our clothes into 1 separate bag which we might be able to take as carry on if we were inclined to take on a huge bag. But we already have 1 carry on with our regulators and lights. We always get hit with an extra baggage fee unless we are flying first class.
And then there are us old ladies who can barely lift our pills into the overhead, let alone a couple changes of undies.
