carry-on only

Luggage stays overhead

Carry-on only describes traveling with just luggage small enough to fit in an airplane's overhead bin or under the seat, avoiding checked bags.

The approach saves time and fees: I'm going carry-on only for this trip.

It can also describe the luggage itself: a carry-on only bag.
