My husband and I are planning to fly to Arkansas to see his relatives. I haven't flown in a few years and would love some advice and helpful hints about packing, best kind of luggage, etc. I sure don't want to get to the airport and find that my carry-on bag is two inches or two pounds over the limit and have to pay to have it checked instead. Thanks, guys!

I think each airline has it's own limits on baggage, so you need to check with them. When you buy your ticket it should be stated then.

@1creekgirl I travel quite a lot, but everybody is different. Basically I decide what I want to take, then go through it and put half of it back in the cupboard!

@jaboUK I need to remember that! I usually bring home things I didn't even wear.

Go to the airlines website. They have all the information there about what is acceptable for size and weight of luggage.

@1creekgirl Light as possible, but heavy your wallet should be.

Thanks, we're packing as light as possible. Well, as light as a woman can!

I don't have any suggestions really but I love the photo. I've always been told to think about 'layers' of clothes.

Thanks, I've read that's a good idea. But then I read that it's not. So, who knows?

The funny thing about when the airlines started charging for checked bags, the carry ons became regular luggage. I swear, what they try to cram into the overhead bins is ridiculous. But so is charging for checked bags frankly.
