Packing tips for Vueling

Vueling has strict enforcement of carry-on limits. Measure and weigh your bag before leaving home. A luggage scale and a tape measure are worth the small investment. Consider packing with compression packing cubes to minimize volume, and wear your heaviest clothing items on the plane rather than packing them. See our one-bag packing list for strategies to stay within strict size limits.

For clothing that packs small and performs well in transit, see our travel fabrics guide and our merino t-shirt roundup — merino compresses better than cotton and handles multi-day wear between washes.
