It might seem obvious but a good quality, travel tote bag will make your time at the airport, running between hotels, and day-to-day organisation far less stressful.

Investing in an ample-sized tote, with plenty of internal organisation and the space to fit those everyday items you’ll reach for – like books, travel documents and tech – will ensure you don’t have to rifle through meticulously packed suitcases and can travel with ease.

What are the carry-on restrictions in Australia and overseas?

Here in Australia, the restrictions for carry-on differ between each airline.

The general weight limit for domestic flights is around 7kg, however, Qantas allows for 14kg with no single item over 10kg.

For international flights, the weight limits greatly differ between each airline and the length of the flights. However, it is safest to try to stick to under 7kg and to read the specifics of your flight before you fly if wanting to pack beyond that.
