Should I pack shoes in the carry-on?

Wear your bulkiest pair (usually dress shoes or boots) on the plane. Pack only one pair of slim loafers or spare dress shoes in the bottom of your bag.

How do I handle wrinkled clothes?

Packing for a Business Class Carry-On

Focus on modular organization and garment care to ensure you arrive crisp and ready. Limit yourself to one roller bag and one personal item that fits completely under the seat in front of you.

Select the right luggage. Use a carry-on with a dedicated suiter compartment. A 22-inch spinner is the standard for most international carriers, but ensure it weighs under 7kg (15 lbs) if flying with stricter airlines.
Use a folding board. Place dress shirts around a plastic folding board to prevent collar collapse and deep-set wrinkles. This creates a rigid 'casing' for your clothing.
Compartmentalize with packing cubes. Use one compression cube for undergarments and socks, and a separate small pouch for tech cables and chargers. This keeps your main bag from becoming a disorganized mess during security checks.
Optimize the personal item. Your personal item should hold your laptop, noise-canceling headphones, and essential toiletries (under 100ml). Keep these items accessible at the top of the bag for quick retrieval during security.
Manage your liquids. Use a clear, TSA-compliant quart-sized bag. Place it in the outermost pocket of your carry-on so you can pull it out in 5 seconds or less without opening your main compartment.
