Heard a couple at the airport talking about their Lisbon trip... and it made me check my own bookings

They were saying how their 'cheap' flight to Portugal got them, because the airline charged 75 euros each to check a carry-on bag at the gate... they hadn't read the fine print. I went and checked my Ryanair booking for next month and sure enough, my 'basic' fare only includes a small bag under the seat. Has anyone else been caught by this and found a good way to pack for a week in just a personal item?

My last trip with just a personal item looked like I was running from the law, not going on vacation. I've become a master of the single outfit worn multiple days and stuffing socks into shoes. Rolling clothes is the only way it works, and a soft bag you can really cram under the seat is key. It's a puzzle I hate solving every single time.

Watched my friend, like @the_mia, wear the same jeans for a week.
