Why does nobody talk about vacuum bags for carry-on luggage
I spent $30 on a set of compression vacuum bags for my last trip to Europe, and they saved me from having to check a bag on Ryanair. Has anyone else tried these for a longer trip, or do they usually just spring leaks after a few uses?

Have you actually tested a vacuum bag on a longer trip though? I bought a set for a 2 week trip to Italy and by day 4 the seal on one of them just gave up. It was fine for the flight over but after that it was basically a regular ziploc bag taking up space. I swear half the reviews on Amazon are from people who used them once and never touched them again. The other problem is you need a vacuum or a pump, and if you're staying at hostels or Airbnbs good luck finding one that works.
