Traveling by air under 50lbs

Traveling by air under 50lbs is just impossible!

 

We are going away for 2 wks and  I have been repacking lighter and lighter...How do you do it.

 Just frustrated, anxious and slightly angry (I used to be a light traveler and with a child....ugh) Going from warm to cold, rainy climate is just yucky. Not to mention we have to pack casual (hiking too) to formal dining attires. :(

    How heavy is your luggage when empty? When I got new luggage I looked for the lightest I could find. I've got a 28 inch rolling upright that is about 9 pounds and a 25 inch that's about 8 pounds. It's been a lifesaver so far!

    If your suitcases are too heavy you could always use a duffle bag for the heavier clothes and shoes.

    You could also wear or pack in carry ons the heaviest items you have.

    We have been traveling by plane extensively ever since K was 8 weeks old and I basically stopped bringing anything for myself. DH has always packed light so no change there. I basically only bring like 2 outfits for myself and 1 spare pair of shoes. The rest if our suitcases are always full of K's stuff. It has worked so far.

    I'm impressed! I try to do this but with a kid I"m always getting dirty, which necessitates many changes of clothes!

    You need to pack only clothes that can be easily washed and that can be mixed amp; matched. So, same color families, etc.nbsp;When we went to France for 2 weeks we had 2 small suitcases for 2 adults and 1 kid. I packed nbsp;black flats, sneakers, sandals, a black sundress, a black skirt, black tank, white tank, pink tank, black sweater, pink cardigan, jeans, etc. So it all coordinated. We are going on another 2 week trip next month and need clothes for rainy, cool weather and warmer weather. This time I'm going w/ more of a navy palate. For me, having that core color helps. Also, bringing way less clothes than you have days and washing while away. nbsp;


    We're you going to multiple funerals?
