There's enough to worry about when we travel, but having to pay attention to how much your suitcase weighs brings on a whole new level of stress. Especially on smaller planes and when travelling through Europe, many airlines will even weigh your carry-on, which is precisely how I ended up having trouble breathing in the Venice airport with a full day of travelling ahead. If the idea of checking your bag also gives you heart palpitations, you need to make sure you get a light carry-on suitcase.
These 14 pieces of luggage all weigh less than nine pounds, which means more space for extra outfits, toiletries, and anything else you might need. Plus, if you end up having to run through an airport (we've all been there), having a lightweight suitcase makes all the difference. Just keep reading to shop our picks, and enjoy your travels!
