Flying abroad with carry-on only was great. Then I made a rookie error

I’ve just made a chilling discovery. I’ve booked flights home and overlooked the fact that the first leg is a low-cost carrier with Draconian weight limits.

@lisseuse schon fast fertig
Ich überlege gerade nur noch ob ich die zweite leggings da lasse #lightpacking

Could tell straight away this was an article aimed at Americans, ie people with only two weeks leave max. All these ppl saying taking a pair for every day of travel + 2! My current trip is 40 days. I'm off to the laundrette today. :)

How much underwear to pack? Experts (including a gynaecologist) weigh in

Is it OK to wear the same undies more than one day without washing? Should you pack a fresh pair for every day?

Pack light, people, make things easier on yourself.

My backpack is ready to go for my two-week rail trek from Adelaide to Cairns, which starts on Friday after flying to Adelaide. The good thing about travelling in summer is you can keep the clothing pretty light. Got the whole backpack down to 7 kg this time.
