Hi Ladies,

Can anyone tell me which bag I can use as a garment bag that can be carried on as well?

RIght now I'm looking at the travel pro like a nice person wrote me, but I don't konw which one I should get to keep my suit from getting wrinkled.

It looks like the garment bags are too big to fit for carry on? Is this true? Or will they let me bring that on as well?

Thank you!

Hey! :wave: My husband is an airline pilot and I will ask him tonight about carry on items ect.! I will write back tonight when we get back from dinner. Cool!

Hi! I am back from dinner. My husband said a passenger is aloud to bring 2 carry on items and a garmet bag is considered a carry on item. Hope that helps! Good luck to you! :crossfingers: Have a safe trip!

hi tx, thanks for that post, I got a suiter bag today from overstock.com. did you know they have ppl there that come adn chat to help you shop? how weird! she was nice though "liz" :hyper:

Here's the best advice I ever got about packing. Changed the way I pack and travel forever, and I will never go back. I sold all my garment bags.

You can pack suits in a carry-on bag. Seriously, you can. I learned this from a travel website. It's been awhile so I don't remember which one, but it was probably either through Fodors.com or Cruisecritic.com. For pants, you lay them flat (seams to seams, like you're going to hang them on a hangar) and roll them from the hems up to the waistband. For suitcoats, you pull the arms inward and roll from the hem up toward the collar. Blouses the same way. Skirts, hem to waistband. I packed suits for hubby and 2 sons for our cruise 3 years ago in wheeled carry-ons and they came out great! If I can find the link, I'll post it here. Seriously, since I learned this, I have never gone anywhere with more luggage than a wheeled carry-on and a large purse or a school-sized backpack per person, and that includes 23 days in Europe (though we did stay the middle week in an apartment with a washer-dryer). A two or three-day trip for an interview should be a snap.

Try here: http://www.onebag.com/pack.html This is not the site where i got my original advice, but it is a site with lots of info on one-bag packing. And it reminded me that we did not roll the suitcoat, but put it flat in the bottom of the bag and wrapped the arms around everything else in the bag (which we did roll up, as I recall--sorry, it's been awhile since we travelled anywhere hubby needed a suitcoat.)
