To make the most of the limited space in a carry-on suitcase, it is essential to know what to pack and how to organise it efficiently.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it&#8217;s for a short trip or a longer holiday, packing the right items in your hand luggage will ensure a more comfortable and organised journey. To try and make your experience the best it can be, we&#8217;re here to help you make the most of it.  <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theblueslockers.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Blues Lockers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells you which<\/span><b> items are essential<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a <\/span><b>complete hand luggage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that covers all the needs that may arise on a trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Travel documents and money<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem obvious, the first and most important step in packing your hand luggage is to make sure you have all <\/span><b>your travel documents.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a safe and accessible place. This includes: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Passport or ID card<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Boarding passes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(printed or on your mobile phone)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Credit\/debit cards<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>cash<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not uncommon that before leaving for the airport or station, we are in a hurry and cannot find any of these items. Therefore, the best thing to do is to  <\/span><b>put them in your hand luggage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, rucksack or fanny pack as soon as possible, saving time and avoiding unnecessary scares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Basic personal grooming kit <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airlines have strict restrictions on the liquids you can carry in your hand luggage, so it&#8217;s essential to be prepared with a<\/span><b> toiletry kit.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that meets these standards. Containers should be less than 100 ml, and all liquids should be placed in a transparent resealable bag, such as a toilet bag. Essential items include:  <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Toothbrush and toothpaste <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in travel format<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Solid or stick deodorant<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Moisturiser or sunscreen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially if travelling to hot destinations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hand sanitising gel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (small pack)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wet wipes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or make-up remover wipes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tissues <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or paper napkins<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, remember to carry a small<\/span><b> travel kit.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with plasters, painkillers and any medication you may need. If you are carrying liquid medicines, make sure you have a prescription for them. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Essential and versatile clothing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelling with a carry-on suitcase means taking only the essentials, so <\/span><b>clothing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be as versatile as possible, adapting to different temperatures, environments and colours. Here are a few tips: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Basic T-shirts <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that are easy to combine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Comfortable trousers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like tracksuit bottoms or versatile jeans that you can wear for both daytime and dining out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sufficient underwear and socks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for travel days (and quick-drying socks if you need to wash them).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A jumper or light jacket <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that you can wear if it gets chilly on the plane or at your destination.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>windbreaker <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><b>thin waterproof jacket <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in case <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of rain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Comfortable shoes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ideally, wear comfortable shoes for long-distance walking and pack a second, lighter or more formal pair, depending on the type of trip.<\/span><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1118 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/theblueslockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/que-tengo-que-llevar-maleta-mano-ropa-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Comfortable clothes in a carry-on suitcase\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theblueslockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/que-tengo-que-llevar-maleta-mano-ropa-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theblueslockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/que-tengo-que-llevar-maleta-mano-ropa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theblueslockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/que-tengo-que-llevar-maleta-mano-ropa-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theblueslockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/que-tengo-que-llevar-maleta-mano-ropa.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>4. Electronic devices and accessories<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelling without electronic devices nowadays is almost unthinkable, as we use them not only to stay connected, but also to reach a destination, entertain ourselves or take photos during the trip. The  <\/span><b>essential devices<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your hand luggage include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mobile phone and charger<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Portable charger or power bank,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> especially useful if you are going to be away for long periods of time without access to a power socket.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Headphones to enjoy music<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, movies or simply disconnect from the noise.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Universal plug adapter <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you travel to another country with different voltage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re carrying multiple devices, organise cables and chargers in a separate small bag so they&#8217;re always handy, or in case you need to place them in the tray at the airport security checkpoint.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. In-flight entertainment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long plane journeys can become tedious if you don&#8217;t have some form of entertainment with you. This is where the  <\/span><b>books, magazines or an e-reader<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can save the day. If you prefer digital content, be sure to download movies, series or music to your mobile device or tablet beforehand. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Snacks and reusable water bottle<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During flights, especially low-cost or short-haul flights, meals and drinks may not be included or may be significantly expensive. Bringing your own  <\/span><b>snacks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can save you money and keep you from going hungry between meals. Some healthy and easy-to-carry options are: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nuts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cereal or energy bars<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dried fruit<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, carrying a <\/span><b>reusable water bottle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an environmentally friendly and practical option. Remember to bring it empty when you go through security, but you can fill it up at any water fountain at the airport. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Extra foldable bag<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span><b> folding bag<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an<\/span><b> ideal complement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which takes up almost no space in your hand luggage and can be a great help if you&#8217;re shopping on your trip. It&#8217;s also useful if you need to bring extra items for a day out or if you need to reorganise your belongings before you head home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, packing for a trip with only a carry-on suitcase may seem complicated at first, but if you carefully select the essentials and organise them efficiently. In case you&#8217;re making a  <\/span><b>day trip to Bilbao <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and you need to leave your hand luggage in <\/span><b>a luggage locker,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> don&#8217;t hesitate to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theblueslockers.drop-point.com\/booking-engine?locker_ref=THEBLUESLOCKERS1&amp;locale=es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">book your locker <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at The Blues Lockers, selecting the right size and guaranteeing the safety of your items at the best price.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travelling with a carry-on suitcase is the preferred option by many travellers looking for convenience and, especially, to avoid checking their luggage.
