How much stuff can you "carry on" on a plane?

Question

I am an american - going to england. Im only taking a backpack, but I have feeling Im gonna buy enough stuff to fit in another bag, so can I take big plastic bags full of stuff too?? lol

Answer 1

there is a weight limit that applies to your carry-on baggage. check with your airline.

Answer 2

We always tell people to pack light.... if you forget something, you'll be able to get it there.  Here is our basic packing list with the "amenities and necessities" we generally take:  http://www.mousetourstravels.com/basic-p...

You still should be able to take one carry-on bag and one "personal item" like a day pack.  If you buy a lot of stuff, you can always mail it home or buy a cheap suitcase there.  We  carry collapsable bags for extra carry-ons coming home.   The airline can get pretty strict about  how much you can carry, so be careful.

Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it!  http://www.mousetourstravels.com
