Thank you !!! 6/23/2024

Kizik shoes are fabulous at the airport. They are hands free and very easy to take off and put on going through security. And since I will wash them a couple days before I go on a trip and then save them for the trip, I feel confident that they won’t stink when I take them off on the plane. I have issues with claustrophobia and, for whatever reason, if I take my shoes off on the plane it helps me feel less confined. I also put my check my carry on so that my backpack can be put in the overhead compartment. Now I have all that space open for my legs and it’s been wonderful ever since.

Hi Laurie. I started watching your videos 3 years ago before my first plane trip …and watch every year before travel . Very helpful. Love your tips. Went to North Carolina last 2 years, but going to Savannah GA this year. Thanks for the video’s .

Thank yuo for this tip, as I love cooking classes as you learn other local people and other like minded 💖

Expedite Exponentially 🤩

Always love your travel tips and, it’s off topic, but totally love your hair cut!

Nope, I've been told no less than 3x that I am not allowed to hold my passport through security and they made me put it through the x-ray machine

While I strongly agree with all these tips, I thing a very important one is missing. One that I discovered 4 years ago and changed my traveling life (and I travel a lot) : look for magnetic wheels !!! Those magnetic wheels will always stay straight and no energy is lost with wheels trying to turn. A gentle push on my spinner can let it roll straight for an easy 10 meters. It is amazing how much less energy is needed to push such a spinner. I don't know which brands offer this feature, mine is a Travelpro and I would never trade it for anything without magnetic wheels. 😊

I have a reusable grocery tote from Amazon comes in a tiny 2x3 bag. I use it a lot in Hawaii grocery shopping but you can use it for your jacket to use as a pillow. I am normally warm in plane but always have a light jacket for travel m.

Again and again and again... stop saying I AM A PILOT WIFE!

Love this and the comments! A few other ideas for y'all. 1-collect stronger carry out bags from places like Garbanzo's/Tokyo Joes to pack BPA locking food containers in to eat during flights (eg Snapware, doesn't allow food to squish; also great for leftover meals); 2-different sized zip lock baggies (we rent houses/apts and often have leftovers to take to next destination); 3-strong suction cup hooks in case there's not enough hanging space in bathroom; 4-nylon waterproof beach blanket that packs small; 5-write your contact info on bright card stock, laminate, place inside luggage in case lost. You can also leave copy of itinerary for luggage to find you; 6-a backpack carry-on with several outside zippered pockets - designate each pocket for specifics so you know where everything is (Kroser Laptop Backpack; love the look but zippers slide easily, fasten with anti-theft zipper pulls); 7-Travelon Anti-Theft East West Cross-Body Bag that can fit into backpack or checked-in luggage; 8-two reusable grocery bags for groceries, beach, shopping; 9-thread interior security clothing straps through anything you can, and if you have a zippered pocket inside suitcase use a small lock to secure it to keep theft to a minimum; 11-headlamp for dark streets or if electricity goes out; 12-corkscrew for wine and safety at night; 12-space saver bag for dirty clothes; 13-a few dryer sheets to keep luggage fresh; 14-travel sized PooSpray for rooms that need help; 15-pack necessities and anything you need for 2-3 days in carry-on in case luggage is lost; 16-the last 3 trips we've taken, things have been stolen between check-in and arrival; 17-colored hair ties; 18-goody baggy that's saved our vacations (electrolytes, aspirin, tylenol, anti-histimine, Bragg's ACV for upset stomach and sunburn, aloe vera for sunburn); 18-mosquito repellant; 19-Lifestraw bottles; 20-laundry pods. We have ongoing Xcel spread sheets of items to take for specific destinations (Beach, Europe, Skiing). The lists don't change much but allows us to see what's missing and file report with airlines/travel insurance company asap. Happy Travels!

I travel places that there are limited spaces that you can do a fast wash in the sink, but how do you hang them up to dry. I have found these neat traveling traveling hangers. They come in a set of 12 from Amazon (pretty colors). They fold up in to a very small space and be tucked any where. I also pack a small piece of cord. I tie one end to the shower head and and the other end to the robe hook. This way if when they drip it will be in the tub. I also get a small bag of snap clips (found in a dollar store) Found I can't travel without them. Lots of uses. I don't know if these would be allowed for flying but I used them for many things in a room.

I am solely planning a trip to Banff just based on your beautiful photos and this video!!

Not sure why but they never sent our emails had to watch the website for updates.

you do a great job thanks for the advice mike

Just curious…why cant I wear my money belt before security? I usually always do. I never had a problem but want to be prepared for my next flight to Italy in Oct. Absolutely Love your videos and you are so sweet! Thank you .

Hi Laurie- thanks for the great tips. I could not find a link for the crossbody bag and would appreciate it! Kathryn

Laurie, love your videos very much. thank you for explaining to us in a very calm, easy to understand and in a slowly explained manner. I listen to them very comfortably and you’re very kind and calm. I love all the information and details. You’ve done very well l. thank you very much.

Keep your money and passports on you at all times. I use a thin travelon that I keep crossbody the whole flight. You can aslo use those neck passport holders too. No flight attendant has scolded me for it.

I wouldn't depend on those clips right on the belt as they are easily unlocked. You haven't visited Asia yet if you did and know you wouldn't even bother bags where the clasps come off right at the bag!

What is the rule for aerosol in carry on? Like bedbug and lysol spray

My wife is diabetic patient how to take insulin and nedels in airoplane

Southwest also does board by A, B, C groups. They’re also counting travel pillows and blankets as your personal item.

I disagree about not speaking to TSA it your 1st time or 100th time traveling alway ask questions about your carry-on bag when at security. the officer should instruct you on what to do with your bags ie what stays in and what to take out, which items of clothing to remove before walking through the body scanner

Good content. Nice personality. ... Subbed.

The word is pronounced "expodentially". Just ask Biden

I think wheel configuration may be a bit of personal preference. I went with the Travelpro crew versapack 2 wheeler for the extra internal space it gave me in the 20 inch model. It has held up well for the past 4 years, including the rough terrain around the Philippines. I also like that it gives me some personal space behind me.

Thank u so much for the very useful tips, learn a lot from u.

I have pictures of it and driver license and birth certificate in each bag and carry on

I'm so glad I found your channel. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. I'm going on a European cruise in September of this year and I'm going to try my best at doing carry on only. Wish me luck! 😊

Thank you so much for the tip❤❤

Thank you 😊

❤❤❤❤❤

We were always told to take a picture of the ID page, I'm so glad you told me about the barcode page. Because no one else has mentioned it 🎉 Thank you

Awesome

Never knew this. Thank you.

Please make a video about business travel tips and tricks. When you have to walk off the plane, and into a taxi to a meeting or presentation. Also best formal and business shoes for plane rides, etc. Thanks! ❤

Another terrifically useful video from Laurie ❤

I was actually wanting to do this back in January when I went to Cozumel. Unfortunately I ran out of time so it is on my bucket list of things to do for the next time I get to go!

Thank you!!!

You can’t imagine how happy I am that you came to visit my country.. hope you enjoyed the experience … I live at Mexico City… hope you can visit us here soon!!! 🌹

👏👏👏

*WARNING!* Do NOT do this! Having that info on your phone is a real risk!! Instead take HALF a picture, and then take the other HALF pic and send it to a trusted friend or relative. Putting the two pics together in an emergency will not be hard, and neither phone being stolen would reveal your full details!

You have your passport open to the Ellison Onizuka page and quote. Did you know Ellison Onizuka is the only non-white quote in the passport?

your top 😃 where is it from☀️

Great idea, Laurie! I realized there were toiletry items that needed to get tossed, replaced or replenished (in reusable containers). Also, car travel allows for no limits on liquids that flights do not...that makes a difference what I have had pre-packed. ❤

Good food! Oh and adorable hat! ❤

What type of container do you recommend that is leakproof for liquid over the counter medicines - omega -which is oily and magnesium which is a liquid? They are naturally stored in dark glass bottles.

Thanks!

The little compression ‘pillow’ bag also works for those with back pain. I place it between my lower back and the chair. 😊 I’m in my 40’s from Connecticut and I’ve been watching you for a little over two years. This is my first comment but I just want to say that I love you ❤
