Remember that your on-flight travel wardrobe is an
important element of the 1-bag travel process. The goal here is to “pack” as
much clothing as possible by actually wearing it - but stopping short of
looking like a hobo who’s wearing everything he owns.
If I am teaching workshops around Denver and planning to
do some snowshoeing afterwards, I will wear my heavy outdoor gear on the
flight, and put the lighter items in my carry-on bag. On a trip to Hawaii, I
included a raincoat in my gear, and chose to wear the raincoat on the flight in
order to save room in the carry-on. I removed the coat and popped it in
overhead storage once I was on the plane.
Most commonly, I find myself headed
to a destination where the appropriate casual gear will be something light, so
I pack that stuff and wear my sweater and sports jacket onto the flight. Also,
wearing a tie on the flight is a pretty good way of keeping it from getting
wrinkled. If you decide to pack a tie, one solution is to roll it tightly
inside a toilet paper tube and stash that into one of your packing cubes or
into some corner of your luggage.
Pro
Tip: Don’t pack two items that serve the
same function. For example, if you are packing a raincoat, don’t bring an
umbrella along as well.
