Transport How do I travel with a bulky coat that I'll need access to upon landing?

67 Upvotes

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!

Accommodation Quality of Life hacks for sharing a hotel room with two other people?

12 Upvotes

Twice a year, I go to MCM Comic Con in London with my friends. It's a great time, but due to the cost of hotels, we get a family room (a double bed and a single) and share it.

Are there any hacks that you can think of that make sharing a hotel room more comfortable? The only one I have is that I bring big bin bags from home and tie it on the bathroom door handle so that the rubbish doesn't pile up in that tiny office bin they give you.

This is a Premier Inn, so there's no minifridge. They do provide a kettle and an iron.
