Researching the various flights we’re going to be taking, it appears that our carryon cannot weigh more than 8 kg, and on some of the Sky Express flights, cannot be longer than 18 inches. Our USA carryon backpacks and/or spinners will not work as they are 22-23 inches long.
For those of you who have done long European trips (several weeks) with only carry-on luggage, how do you do it? I’m struggling to envision how each of us can pack 8 kg or less.
Also, I’ve read that backpack style carryons are best as it is not easy to wheel luggage through rural areas, cobbled streets, etc. I can appreciate having hands free and carrying everything in a backpack, but could also see the benefit of wheeling through airports/train stations. Thoughts on pros and cons from your experience?
