Our Best Carry-On Hacks (That Actually Work)

Most people pack their carry-on the same way every trip and wonder why they always run out of space. In this episode, Chris and Katie share the hacks that actually make a difference, from why packing cubes might be hurting you in your roller bag to how coordinating colors before you pack changes everything.

They cover roller bag strategy, personal item essentials, what to always have accessible on the plane, and the exact bags they are currently traveling with after years of heavy use.

Plus, the new Chase Freedom Flex 5% categories are live for the quarter, and Katie stacks three Hilton card credits on a Conrad Las Vegas stay.
