You’re doing it wrong. I did a two week trip in Europe in October through Jordan and Switzerland. All with an international carry on. Just plan to do laundry. That being said, you can check luggage. It will always go through with or without you. So while you may not make a flight, your luggage will. That’s only good when you’re going home.
