How to travel for 7 days with only a carry-on bag

Traveling for a week with just a carry-on is possible. Thousands of travelers already do it, saving hundreds of euros in baggage fees every year. Here's the complete method.

Why travel with only one carry-on bag?

  • Save €50 to €100 in checked baggage fees per trip
  • No waiting at the baggage claim upon arrival

The method: choosing the right clothes

For 7 days with a carry-on, focus on versatile pieces:

  • 3 neutral, combinable tops
  • 2 pairs of pants (1 casual, 1 dressy)
  • 1 dress or complete change of outfit
  • Underwear and socks for 7 days
  • 1 light jacket (worn on the plane)

The essential tool: the automatic compression bag

Even with the right clothes, volume remains an issue. That's where the BagSlim comes in, the automatic compression bag without a vacuum cleaner.
