What’s the best way to bring a suit?
I’m flying Delta. I bought a small carry on. I also have a backpack which I may or may not bring. Should I try and fold the suit into my carry on? I have a suit bag, would it be better to just carry it separately? Does Delta consider a suit a personal item (so no back pack)?

Wear it? That’s what I do. If I’m carrying more than one (rare since you can get away with a couple pair of pants, jacket, 4 shirts, 4 ties, for weeks) I’ll do a bundle pack with the jacket on the outside.

The best way to bring a suit is hire a lawyer. :)

I thought about it. It’s a pretty long flight with layovers, and could get wrinkled if I wear a backpack.

I'll usually just wear it, but last time I flew I noticed a lot more people just carrying them in a suit bag, alongside their carry on.

In a Louis Vuitton suit carrier...
But if you dont happen to have one handy, neatly folding one into your carry on will do assuming you have a steamer or iron with very low heat and steam option at your final destination.

Is it a full suit or just the jacket? You are always better off with fewer carry ons. If it is a small backpack and your carry on is really carry on size you should be ok. DL publishes the size requirements.

i would hire a gray haired man like in the comic to wear the suit but he would have to stand the whole flight and not be a smelly person.

back pack and suit doesn’t work. It looks stupid.

I typically just wear it. I like having the extra pockets inside the jacket to slip stuff into anyway. If the hotel can’t press it at the other end, I just give it a light steam with the room iron to take any wrinkles out.

If you’re going to travel and wear suits, or shirt and tie, you need to know how to iron. Every decent hotel has an ironing board in the room. I’m sure I’ve ironed 100 shirts in hotels by now and maybe 10 suits. A little practice at home first will be time well spent.
Pro tip, at the hotel, do a checkout run with the iron on a hotel towel first. I’ve had a hotel iron with a little leftover rusty water foul a nice white shirt. Since then I run a test lap first.

Have your bespoke tailor deliver the suit to your hotel pressed and ready to go along with 2 crisply ironed shirts, a few silk ties and folded matching hankerchiefs. The valet at the hotel should be able to handle shoe polishing and any final incidentals (like finding a vial of your signature cologne if you left in haste). What ... no one else does that?

You might consider rolling (like you’d roll a blanket) your suit pants and jacket. Separately of course. That’s how I transported a suit in a back pack Europe <-> China for a few times. No wrinkles.
