at your recommendation, I bought the airplane tray cover with pockets as you showed in this video, and I actually pack the essentials I will be using on the plane ride right into those pockets and as soon as I get on the plane, I slip it right over the tray and then fold the tray back up until we are in the air...ezpz! No need to dig through my bag once I sit down in my seat to get this stuff all ready for my flight!

HINT: When we last flew in Dec. our plane was changed to a Dreamliner. We flew WestJet. On the Dreamliner there is no tray from the back of the seat in front. The trays all come up from the side of the seats. The airplane tray cover would not have worked on that particular plane. Be sure you know ... google image search for the seats on the particular plane, specific to the airline you will be travelling on. :)

@CorinnaL-qw1ti 2 күн бұрын
I took a smallish carabiner on a recent trip to the UK, only travelling by trains/bus/taxi. During the flights, I packed my down jacket into its pocket and used the carabiner to attach it to my (rather full) personal item bag -- as I check a bag and only take a small backpack on the plane. Then in the UK, on a rainy day I used it to hang my very wet umbrella off my handbag when it wasn't raining or I was indoors. You can also use it to hang a toiletry bag off a hook. I think they are so handy!

I'm one of those who does not like a lot of pockets in my personal item bag. It stresses me out to try to remember where I put things. I must have, though, an outside pocket to put my ID and ticket so I can access them easily in TSA and have a place to put them back to not lose them. Thanks for more great tips.
@TravelTipsbyLaurie Күн бұрын
I think that’s the best pocket ever on the outside.
@kerrigomez8445 Күн бұрын
One suggestion is if you do not have a lot of pockets and choose to use smaller pouches to stay organized. When you are packing take a photo of the pouch and all the items inside. If you have different color or types of bags that might be helpful. I have also used a label maker and placed the labels so I can see them when I look into the bag.
@chelsabrinkman417 2 күн бұрын
When you say it is less stressful to not have your personal item bag stuffed full, that is so true. There is so little room in the airplane and wrestling with a full bag gets really difficult and frustrating, even at the gate.

100%. My personal bag is a LoveVook backpack and I love it. Flying to my destination it was not overpacked, BUT coming home on my return flight for some reason it was overstuffed and it was almost unmanageable. Thank goodness our flight, in economy plus and first class was almost empty and I had an empty seat to sit the bag on and unload anything so I could search inside.

Just an idea, if you have one T shirt in that small cube in your personal item bag, you could take it out and fit a solid colour tank/shell and 3 or 4 translucent scarf-like tops that layer over the same tank into the same amount of space. A lot more clothing options in the same footprint, as long as you wash the tank out each night. The microfiber ones that Chicos sells have a lovely silky texture and will absolutely be dry by morning.

Bless your heart, a mammogram is exactly the way to describe being in an airplane seat these days!! Don't think I'll be able to get that image out of my mind next time I'm flying LOL! I make sure I will not have to get anything out of my personal item bag during the flight by placing everything I might need en route in either a pocket or my tray table pockets thingie (the one you mention here, it is such a travel game changer, I don't know how I ever flew without it) after I go through security. That way, there's no fumbling required.

🇦🇺 Aussie traveler here! I like to travel with a 7kg personal item only, and a thin hip belt to go in the airplane seat pocket with my phone and wallet inside. A tip from me is that if a personal item bag is important to you, don’t accept upgrades to the emergency row. You get the leg room but they won’t let you put a bag under the seat to keep the aisle clear.

I love my lovevook personal item bag BECAUSE of all the pockets. A logical pocket for each essential travel item makes it easier to remember where everything is. Your packing tips have made the CATSA line much less stressful for me when i travel. Thank you, Laurie ❤
@SLynnEasler-Weald Күн бұрын
I love my Lovevook bag as well. CATSA leaving Vancouver was a NIGHT MARE for me. I was in a wheel chair and had no control over what was put up on the belt, in the grey bin etc. There was an wheel chair attendant and he was putting my stuff in bins and on the belt. I was trying to watch all my items, and we were rushed as we waited over 2 hrs. for wheel chair at the check in desk. My C-pap machine ended 3 conveyor belts over!! I had to call my daughter back into the CATSA area to go and retrieve it for me. Plus, I had bought clear bags on Amazon with the correct size according to the CATSA website. The agent tore my bag apart, and literally dumped my liquids bag upside down into my personal bag and told me I had the wrong type of bag, and that I was to use the plastic bags they provide in the CATSA area. * I was also in the special line for people with disabilities etc. as it was supposed to be less stressful for me and my family was altogether with me. I had to ask for some bags for future use, return flight... I politely told her I had checked on CATSA website and went by the guidelines and had no idea the plastic bags were supplied in their line. Also she of course discovered my small crochet bag with my yarn, project, acrylic hook and a pair of specific very small scissors that were allowed by the size I had researched. She called out to her supervisor, who then told her that those were allowed and were in the size parameters. She was in a "MOOD" and was really not a helpful nor patient person. She was downright rude. She is exactly the type of agent that everyone warns about. I thought all would be fine and that all was an exaggeration. NOPE!!!

I am the person who doubles, triples, and at times quadruple checks my personal bag before I leave for the airport. I’m always so freaked out I’m going to forget something. In my brain, I map out where in my bag the most logical place I will be grabbing my Kindle or my wallet or my phone from. That helps me to remember to put that item in. Great tips.

Something to just know is that different airports have different TSA requirements. For example, SFO (San Francisco) doesn't require you to remove your shoes UNLESS there's heightened security that they're watching out for. A friend who works for FEMA so travels a lot told me that this is happening because airport security is being upgraded so if an airport has already been upgraded then the shoe rule has changed. When I was traveling through Philadelphia in May, they made me put all of my electronics & liquids back into my personal item before they would send it through the scanner. So just be prepared for changed conditions. Love your videos.

I have the Lovevook backpack as my personal item bag. It’s been great for many flights, it would fit under the seat nicely, but my last trip I was on a United 757-200 on the isle in regular economy, and could not fit it under the seat at all! I spoke to the flight attendant about what I should do and luckily she said the two seats next to me would be empty. I was able to use the middle seat to store my backpack under the seat. Lucky for me, otherwise I don’t know what I would have done.

It's 15.6. I love it and it always fit in other planes. Just not this one. There wasn't any mechanical boxes or additions to the space. And I packed it with my usual items. @TravelTipsbyLaurie

It may be a bit more stressful. Your tips and tricks are great. We are sharing one checked bag then each a 24:36 24:36 carry on. British Airlines.

TY for incorporating my suggestions for mentioning the FOLDIES bag. I have a purple one that I currently use as a gym bag -- until I travel next year. The extra bag that comes with it will be a holiday gift for a gal pal. FOLDIES directly has a wonderful customer service department that is on top of all possible problems with delivery, malfunctions, etc. Also, I learned to keep an itinerary list/with pictures of where I placed everything in various pockets.
@TravelTipsbyLaurie Күн бұрын
They are amazing!! But I think it’s more a carryon than personal item bag.
@SLynnEasler-Weald Күн бұрын
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I agree Laurie. For my age and disabilities, I would find the FOLDIES not the right choice for me. I found the LOVEVOOK bag in an appropriate size, and it fight on my suitcase when transiting thru the airports, and it fight under the seat in front of me, and was the right size that even my 12 and 8 yr. old grand daughters could be helpful and carry it on their shoulder. Plus, I do love all the pockets. AND, it opens at the top like Mary Poppins carpet bag and stays open when you are needing to go in and out of it.

sadly, Mrs K's medical needs pretty much fill her carryon. I have a personal rule that I completely empty anything I am going to be packing in, before I start packing, and then start my air trip outfit with empty pockets. it can save an awkward situation in security, as has hit headlines this spring. I'm also the checklist guy. I make a checklist for what I am taking and where it gets packed. then it goes into a bag with paper copies of all the specifics of the trip, like hotel reservations, rental cars, etc. I also, if I can, print a paper copy of my boarding pass and put it in my passport as a bookmark, although on our last trip, Alaska wanted to do it paperless.

For me the more pockets the personal backpack have the better. And if the items i put in those pockets are smaller i still use some sort of pouch for them. Anything i may need on the plane and even on the airport while waiting goes in the outside pockets like chargers, glasses , cords , medication , iPad . Then in the outside smaller pocket i put my extra change of clothes - instead of cubes i fold them flat and put in a ziplock bag , then i pull the air out of it , the whole thing becomes almost flat and fits perfectly in that pocked without bulge it - those clothes are for just incase the once i wear get dirty from something at the airport or in the plane , and i can easy grab them without opening and dig in the the main pocket for them. Then anything else goes inside the bag. For me also less reasons to open the main pocket the better , that way curious eyes can't see where is what .

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Something i bought on a whim for all black suitcase, became a must have for me after i though about the pluses it gives . And that is a suitcase protection cover - it can make your luggage easy to spot when waiting for them , and it protect it from scratches. But for the carry on one id say it gives you a protection from thefts - no one can easily remove it without being noticed by you or everyone else around. Cheap amazon thing that is helpful in more than one way and not just for some fashion , and i don't see any travel gurus mention them , and i know a lot of people may have not even heard about it.

I also rely on small pouches to corral loose items within the pockets of a tote or backpack after having unmentionables FLY into the air as a security officer rummaged around. The pouches and translucent compression cubes are godsends. Happy travels!

Hey, Laurie! Traveled to Ireland in late February early March and your travel tips have been so helpful. Will be going to Scotland in October. Just bought the Foldie, and the trip to Scotland will be the first use… will keep you updated on what I think. For my Ireland trip I used a Lug bag and it really did not work. Love the mammogram reference 😂
@SarahMitchell-gz9uz 2 күн бұрын
I took a foldie for three weeks in China. It worked great, I used it with the bottom zipped as a day bag since they charge for plastic bags there. I used it as my carry on bag since it was too large for a personal bag on the flights within China and the train. I stuffed it full to the weight limit (15lbs/8kg) and it worked great and didn't damage the bag. Enjoy your trip

Suggestion on the cell phone charger. I have the iwalk charger and it is heavy and cumbersome to hold the device with it attached. I switched to the Click charger. It is magnetic and attaches to the back of the device and then it plugs into the charging port. It has a slim profile and much easier to use it instead of the iwalk charger. I’ve used quite a few of your items on my trip to Europe in may. Thank you for making these helpful videos.

Hey 😊 Saying hello for the first time. I so love your videos. I’ve evolved from an extremely tense flight passenger to a confident (well, almost) enjoy the flight excited about the destination personality. Thank you (and your hubby) for revealing to me a new passion for the world we have to explore before us. This is by far my fav video. My hubby calls me the bag lady but I’m really a pouch lady 😂 We recently traveled abroad and this pouch system you have laid out made my life so much easier - especially as one who is aging and traveling with a disabled adult child. An issue I must address as we grow and go together is traveling is how much my items weigh so that we can be as independent as possible. Pouches have so helped me set priorities and therefore reduce what I feel I can’t live without but can. Thank you for opening to us a whole new world to embrace and explore. ❤️🎒🧳🌹🌼🙋🏼♀️
