Yes, it is entirely possible to travel without checked luggage, even for several days. Airlines allow one or two pieces of carry-on baggage (a cabin bag and a small personal item), often for free or for a small additional fee. This option is becoming increasingly popular, as it saves time, avoids extra fees, and reduces the risk of lost luggage.
Here are the advantages of traveling without checked luggage:
- No waiting at the baggage carousel upon arrival
- No risk of lost or damaged luggage
- Lower costs (often free or at a low price)
- Faster and smoother travel
- Greater flexibility during connections
- Less overall stress
