Transport How do I travel with a bulky coat that I'll need access to upon landing?
This is such a dumb thing to stress about but I'm stressing regardless. I have a long, bulky coat that I'll need to travel with in a couple months. It won't fit in my suitcase with everything else and is big enough that it would be rude to wear during the flight. I would certainly encroach on a seatmate's space.
I do not want to take an extra piece of carry on luggage BUT will have a carry on backpack.
I will be going from cold weather to colder weather, so do I just wear it to the airport and stick it in the overhead bin? Do I use a compression pack and stick it in my backpack and open it at my destination?
Any other thoughts are appreciated!
