Aer Travel Pack 3 (Icelandair)

Just wanted to let everyone know Icelandair will make you check the Aer TravelPack 3. I just watched them check every single backpack (no matter the size) and roller bag on my flight and my girlfriend has the Aer TravelPack, they made her check it.

Just wanted to share this information in case anyone is wondering. Seems like things are getting tighter and tighter.

Hey Everyone!

List: https://lighterpack.com/r/mm5khp

I'm making a trip for two weeks out to Japan with my self two friends and girlfriend! It's my first trip outside of North America and just want to make sure I'm properly prepared. Please feel free to suggest to remove/add anything. I currently am not decided if I should bring an additional pair of shoes or not, (Size 12.5 US Get heavy). Also thinking whether or not to bring the rain shell. We will be moving around quite a bit. 2 Days Tokyo, 1 Day Hakone, 3 Days Kyoto, 1 Day Nara, 2 Days Osaka, 1 Day Wakayama, 1 Kobe, 2 Hiroshima, then back to Tokyo. I want to make sure my bag is carriable for the days with constant moving.

Interested in starting travel. 2 bags vs 1? Duffel vs backpack?

I have never left the US or traveled much. Did not have a lot of spare money or time during college. Now that I'm graduated and looking at wiping out my loans within a year, I should have low living expenses and enough vacation time to travel 1-2 times a year. I'd like to take advantage before I have to worry about a family, pets, home, etc.

I plan on starting out with shorter trips, probably 4-5 days at a time, a week max. I don't see myself doing indefinite travel or multi week trips any time soon. I won't need to take a laptop, camera, or any electronics except phone/charger/possibly headphones.

For bag size reference, I'm a 5'7"ish guy. May do some light hiking but nothing crazy, shouldn't need anything past some trail runners and a hoodie.

I have a 22L hiking pack. Considering taking this as a personal item/daypack and buying a larger 35/40L duffle or backpack for carryon. I know that it's usually suggested to start with what you have, but I strongly feel that 22L will not be enough for me for 5-7 days and I don't have a larger backpacking pack. I know considering a second bag is blasphemy, but hopefully it's still alright to ask for advice here. Any is appreciated, thanks.

Roller bag advice/recommendation

Hello there all, I’m after some advice for a travel bag

I need roller bag that I can use for business travel, I need to take 3ish days of clothes, wash kit, iPad and work laptop plus charging cables (and emergency chocolate!)

I have a shoulder injury and having gone through another 6 months of rehab and physio my physiotherapist has strongly advised I don’t wear a back pack for travel. I can do short stints with a bag on my back (so getting on/off the train) but not 30 min walk from a train station.

Budget is up to £150 Travel is usually trains and underground so it needs to be small enough to keep out the way and fit in luggage racks but have space. When I’m away I’m staying at hotels in walking distance of the office and will use the bag as a daily one for work during the trips away

I appreciate I’m asking the bag to do a fair bit and ideally a backpack would do it but I’m not allowed those any more.

I’ve done a lot of reading and getting confused now! Reddit searches always point to this community as a go to for this type of question so here I am.

I would be grateful for any advice for your expert onebag eyes. I was thinking of a backpack roller but they get really mixed views so then looked at carry on rollers

Thanks for you time in reading this.

Traveling for work; heavy bag problem

I love onebagging as a concept and have been doing it for years, and love the convenience of it. But I don't know if I can keep doing it much longer.

For context, I'm an engineer who has to travel often for work. When I travel I have to bring some work equipment with me including my heavy workstation laptop, a multimeter, some measurement tools like rulers and calipers, head lamps, etc.

I have a PD travel bag and have no trouble fitting everything into the bag including my clothes. My problem is that it can get super heavy due to most of the tools being made of metal.

I've always been OK with the weight but as I get older I'm beginning to feel the toll of carrying that much weight around.

So... I guess I'm not asking for any advice in particular but just wanted to say I love this community and what it stands for, but sadly I might have to go two-bag in the future.

And of course I'll still go onebag for leisure travel, but I don't get to do that as often these days.

Any recommendations for an inner bag for a rolltop rucksack?

I am going travelling in SE asia next month and plan to go 3-6 months or so. I have a 30 litre rolltop rucksack which I would like to use as it is waterproof and comfortable (and i can’t really afford a new rucksack). The issue is, however, is it is a bit of hole and would be a nightmare to organise. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an inner bag which I could simply slot in and out? do they exist?

Love this subreddit by the way! thanks
