THE KEY TO CARRY-ON TRAVEL An Instagram post of my carry-on bag and tote generated lots of interest and questions. I listed all of the items I packed and mentioned how the perfect tote bag was the key piece to make carry-on travel feasible. Aside from being generously sized, a carry-on tote must have a zipper to close (extra points if it’s a double zipper), have a roomy interior with pockets plus additional exterior pockets, and a sleeve to slip over the handle of a carry-on roller suitcase. This tote has those features, plus it’s waterproof – handy if someone in front of you spills something on the ground in flight and your bag is sitting on the moisture for hours. The perfect tote is the large Baseline Tote by Briggs and Riley. You can read about the numerous features on the sites that sell it, but just know, it’s sturdy and well-made. I wouldn’t be able to go carry-on without it. LTKTravel
