Pack a carry-on for remote work by giving clothing, work gear, and recovery essentials separate jobs, so the bag stays manageable and the personal item protects the next workday.

Choose a personal-item backpack that protects the remote-work essentials you cannot gate-check without turning an under-seat bag into painful carry-on luggage.

Use your under-seat personal item to protect the laptop, power, identity, and essential work gear that keep a remote-work day recoverable when travel plans fail.
