Most airlines allow for two carry on bags. One which can be stored under your seat and a larger one to be stored in the overhead compartment. Check your airline for their particular size and weight requirements ahead of time.
Make sure your bag is comfortable. I like using a backpack because it distributes the weight evenly and is much more comfortable to carry. I choose one with lots of pockets to keep certain things separate. I don’t want my sunglasses getting scratched.

The first thing I pack are my toiletries. By now you’ve read the article that went viral where airline staff admitted to how dirty the planes are. Make sure to have wipes to wipe down the armrest, tray and anything else you’ll be touching. Do not drink the water. Not even for coffee or tea. And do not even wash your hands with it. Use wipes or hand sanitizer until you arrive at your destination.
Here’s the list of things I pack into my personal carry on bag.
