Trying to fit your belongings into yourcarry-on bagcan sometimes be stressful, especially if you’ve packed bulky items or got a little carried away at the store during your trip. To avoid tense situations at the airport, many travelers wear multiple layers of clothing or take full advantage of theirsuitcase‘s expandable pockets.
