What I really like about your videos is that you get to the point. Not a bunch of unnecessary blabbing about each recommendation in an attempt to extend your play time. So thanks for that!

[@indigobuburat]

Thisssssssss ❤

[@counterfit5]

I appreciate that she's like Sheri Oteri's calmer sister

[@pamzam101]

Toooo funny; my husband recently made a similar comment! 👍🏻

[@cathyalbanese4961]

I agree!

[@brendafromslowerlowerdelaw8540]

Southwest won’t let you bring on the 3rd piece extra backpack or purse. TWO ITEMS ONLY. You need to leave room to stuff smaller bag/ purse in roller bag or other bag while boarding. They are enforcing and not necessarily being nice about it.

[@Bigwave2003]

It's about time. People abuse the hell out of how much they carry onboard.

[@LucieInChicoCA]

Spirit also strictly enforced carryon and personal item limits this summer.

[@margaretmathis4775]

Other airlines are doing this as well. It’s inconvenient (I usually carry either a fanny pack or a small sling bag), but it’s good to know that these rules are being followed more consistently.

[@counterfit5]

That Matador soap sack is a brilliant thing. I've had it a couple years, and it's saved me from getting soap water all over my kit.

[@blureader1164]

The Tripped toiletries bag is the best I've ever used and I think that I have 4-5 others from fine brands, but they are always lacking something. I went on a 3 month trip this year and used the Tripped Weekender size compression cubes. I always check a bag, and they are large, so I could put all of my tops and bottoms in one cube without splitting things up. If I go on a regular trip, I still used tripped but the regular packing cubes.

[@vhoov2218]

MATADOR SOAP HOLDER - get a different color for soap, shampoo and conditioner bars. I used Scribbles Fabric Paint to label our bags.

[@irenetubman9449]

The toiletry bag is the best. I have tried alot and still have them but tripped travel one is my holy grail. I need no other

[@paulasimson4939]

"There were times when we had to watch the hockey game on our laptop"....... The most Canadian sentence ever! ❤🏒 (from a fellow Canadian).

[@ToddMoore1]

Go Oilers!

[@alysmalls]

hehe 😎

[@ffssathena]

😂truth

[@nicolesalzmann5119]

Just when I heard this sentenced I thought „oh, is she Canadian?“ 😂

[@DenaBrown-ew5lo]

Yes, it was the have to watch “the” hockey game. Canadians get it, and I barely watch hockey anymore, go Flames

[@xefirah8753]

I’ve replaced my slippers with lightweight slip on sneakers. They’re perfect for going through the security checkpoint and on the plane. My feet don’t get cold and they also don’t get hot. And they’re outdoor wearable enough to wear them in a hotel or around the airport

[@mhero2343]

Compression socks!

[@munkeypants1]

100% agree with compression socks… prevention is better than cure. Plus they help with shin splints, as I found walking 8-12 miles a day during a recent 14-day trip to Japan. And I also recommend the Matador soap bag and JBL Clip4 Bluetooth speaker, both of which were shown in this video, and which I’ve had few a few years now.

[@PastaMakerCordy-qy4uz]

Absolutely

[@jaimetarne9436]

I love my tripped toiletries bag. I have tried all kinds, all sizes, all styles, and am always left wanting. Until this september when i did a month long trip to slovenia and Austria, that included a 9 day hiking adventure in the mountains. The tripped toiletries bag fit my needs in every type of lodging.

[@crrizello5157]

Great video. I have the TravelPro MaxLite and love it. I can't imagine traveling with a heavy suitcase. For vitamins and supplements I use the small pill bags and label each one. I find it lays flat and takes up less space. I will have to try the little toiletry bag as a back seat organizer. I hadn't thought of that before!

[@erinn5864]

I purchased a TravelPro Suitcase per your advice for my trip to the Netherlands. I am so excited to use it, and am in love with how nicely it packs up.

[@pamhiar5708]

I bought the same Travel Pro bag. Beware if you put a bag on top it will flip over. Did it to me prior to getting on the plane and it bent the extension poles so much so I could not retract them. Had to put it into overhead with the poles stuck open. I was stuck in the airport for many hours and it kept flipping over. I even lost items that fell out of my backpack because of this. I cannot recommend the bag for this reason.

[@ohkay2090]

Cute backpack!

[@pamzam101]

Aly! I absolutely love your travel videos!! You are one of my go-to’s when I’m looking for hacks, tips and best travel items!!! 👍🏻

[@reginabillotti]

When I'm packing light my "toiletry bag" is a ziploc (or a handful of ziplocs if I want to separate things)

[@rnguyen2516]

Absolutely! The hanging toiletries bag takes up a lot of space.

[@jaymyers5605]

Agree the daily drop is freaking awesome! Already got my ROI from it!

[@bethbradshaw9626]

Great ideas! Thanks for this video.

[@peggysue4846]

Lots of great tips including the cord organizer and using the hanging toiletries bag on the airplane seat. Never thought of that! Thanks for sharing.

[@funghouls5498]

Hiya Aly, just returned from a marvelous two week trip to Italy, harvesting olives in Tuscany, exploring cities by train and bus, walking lots and eating so so well :). Implemented many of your tips from your presentations and thank you 😊 Best to you and family.

[@alysmalls]

wow that sound amazing!!

[@peytonplace3335]

Your videos are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@flyingfoodiemama]

A speaker to listen to the hockey game. Girl, you are speaking to my Canadian soul lol

[@tamwisegamgee2553]

Amazing list! Thank you so much. Just to note for people who are on medication: activated charcoal can make your medications not do what they are meant to (aka neutralise them). They give them to you if you have consumed bad things that need to pass through your system, a good example is they also give them to dogs who ate chocolate. As a chronically ill person who has to take daily meds it is something my doctor has warned me about so thought I would share. Also not a doctor so double check with yours before taking?

[@ladykay8]

You're not fitting all that into those tiny bags. You won't have any room for clothes. That head pillow is brilliant!

[@leerindal8980]

The scan did not work on daily drop pro, but I found it on the Apple Store. Love your videos. Heading to Nuremberg in 2 weeks for our 41st anniversary. We lived there in 1987-88.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

You never realize how badly you need a hook on your toiletry set until you need a hook on your toiletry set! Love the recommendations, Aly!

[@kj7045]

We’re going on a cruise in January so I purchased toiletry sets with hooks just today.

[@maryegerton6848]

I just ordered the head pillow. I hope I love it 😬 I love how small it folds up so it can fit inside my personal size bag. I don’t do carry on anymore. I love your channel. Thanks for everything ❤

[@RosesVengeance]

Poisons aren't the only substances activated charcoal can bind to in the stomach. It can also bind to foods you have eaten, blocking the absorption of nutrients and medications you may have taken, reducing their effectiveness. "If you are taking a medication that requires a certain dosage to be effective, you may be putting yourself at risk," Johnson warns. Aside from medication interactions, other risks involved with taking activated charcoal include common side effects like constipation, which occurs when the charcoal enters the intestine and hardens. In more severe cases, this could lead to bowel blockages or perforation.

[@christinep2206]

Did you end up changing your mind and are not liking the Mixi suitcase anymore? I've been debating on purchasing that one.

[@cherylm699]

Great video Aly! You are influencing me, for sure! Going to check out the soap bag, electronics pouch and the neck pillow/ mask combo. 🇨🇦🇨🇦😊

[@alicehatfield9519]

Air Canada is crazy strict on carryon. I got my bag gate checked and never had before in 10 years. So ... I went down the rabbit hole trying to find one that will pass. Example: Monos says they pass AC requirements. However, their listed measurements are larger than that on AC's website. Sure enough, Reddit users confirmed they have had to gate check their Monos. I created a spreadsheet of various suitcases with their external and internal dimensions to find the one that would fit and maximized packing volume and weighed the least. The one I came up with was July Carry-on. What are folks thoughts on the July? It's on my Christmas wishlist.

[@Bigwave2003]

They need to be strict because EVERYBODY is bringing too much onboard to the MAX.

[@alicehatfield9519]

@@Bigwave2003 I know! My S-I-L is crew for AC and know this first hand. It’s so hard finding a suitcase in the US that meets their requirements. (Was at TJMaxx yesterday and they had nothing suitable.) I think I’ll try the July and measure it.

[@michelemason1663]

That little backpack is a bad target for theft..

[@anamelo8265]

Hey Aly! As a FA I loved all this tips specially the mighty patches 😂 but I would recommend you to try the invisible ones (the blue box) it’s 11/10 much better and actually “invisible” x

[@rodeomom2550]

Do you have a link for the activated charcoal you use? Thanks for all the great tips!

[@bettyrivets7138]

So many great tips! Wish I woulda found you like 5 trips ago, definitely going to change how I travel 👌 thanks

[@danaprahl9748]

Thanks for all your advise. Got the Travel Pro when I went on the med cruise. Its awesome carry on love the wheels goes on everything. Thanks.

[@DanielMolini1]

Great video as always Aly! You may also like upload on Rabbilo to reach people outside KZbin?

[@janicepottie802]

Thank you so much for the information! Kindest regards!

[@deannayen8692]

Love your sweater! Where did u get it?

[@mvwkout5714]

Please recommend some noise canceling headphones for sleep on plane and in noisy hotel rooms. Bonus if it also has an mask. I will be traveling internationally and I know there will be a lot of light and noise outside of my hotel room due to time change and where I will be staying

[@cazgreene3055]

Get Loops earplugs - they come in different levels and they are AWESOME

[@IslandGirl40]

Thanks for the helpful tips Aly. 👍

[@smallparticlelinda]

How do you wash your water bottles without a bottle brush while traveling?

[@mclyman-onkka3579]

Try the denture cleaner tablets (like polident or effrident).

[@evadeanu1]

I love your video.

[@SN-hg6bx]

I would really like to find the best best seat cussion……for long flignts…..sooooo sore

[@maude657]

I'm really having a hard time finding a personal item bag for Air Canada that fits. Everything I find is bigger. Even an inch bigger stress me out.

[@craiggardner5525]

Versa pack under seat tote is perfect.

[@toodutch]

Thanks for anothing very informative video, love them as a a 'beginner' traveller to get the right gear. about the vitamins/supplements: I use creatine, and yep, that's a white powder so when I travelled by air for the first time, I packed creatine chewablest. Less akward and easy to use while travelling.

[@spikenikistan75]

how much i do like these items. Since i'm an OBT and most often even with Personalitem only most of the items here just plainly takes to much space.

[@ystraveling9626]

If i am going to holiday for 2 weeks, are enough wit size luggage you?

[@SS-fi4oo]

Hey Aly! Is deoderant considered a liquid? Does it need to be in my 1 quartz bag? I'm flying WestJet. Thx!

[@Xia-hu]

I read a lot of reviews that say the audio transmitter thingie doesn't actually work.

[@alysmalls]

worked for me on multiple flights...might be an operator issue 😅

[@SHENworks]

Links please to items mentioned?

They’re all there!

Link para bolsas de compresión? De tamaño p cabina. ?

[@AngieLangdon]

Thanks! We are using our new Mono's bags next week for the first time!

[@phunk8607]

pimples... use azelaic acid... much faster. and yes to magnesium when traveling.

[@darrenowyong1660]

Jewellery is a must have??

[@xefirah8753]

PLEASE DO NOT use that speaker or any speaker in your hotel room on the plane anywhere. Other people can hear it. Some of us have PTSD and it is absolutely maddening when people have to listen to their stuff in my airspace! You think it doesn’t come through the walls? Guess again!

[@pamelalambe1356]

So you have your carryon and your personal oversized bag put up on top? where does mine go? So your base small is 11 pounds when full for Sunwing carry on limit ? And that is all you take? Carry on only right you said. Your fold out bathroom bag looks like is more than that. sorry. Not saying anything about the massive hair thingy. ha I would love to see you pack per regulations. Practicality. Be honest how many pds do you travel with? I am going to Cuba for 2 weeks, 7 pds is my stuff, the rest 43 pds check in luggage ( remember check in) is gifts, on Sunwing discount airline. And I travel on the plane with just essentials. sorry again I just don't get all the videos with carry on only and there so much stuff things I never even knew about.

[@candymay75]

❤

[@cazgreene3055]

That has to be the biggest hair tool I have ever seen and you say it is smaller than the one you have at home???? That would take up half of your carry-on?? There are much smaller ones out there that work or just do without - take a circular brush only - most hotels have hair dryers.

[@darrenowyong1660]

Exactly.. and apparently it's her must have.....

[@suellenjames9028]

That is huge!

[@peetabrown5813]

7:39 I cannot understand how people can wear an eye mask on a flight, you’re face is exposed and your eyes are covered, meaning everyone can see you and you can’t see anything - I would feel to vulnerable around strangers to do that I prefer to use a scarf that is darkening but I can see thru but others can’t see my face

[@kessas.489]

9:00 And the water taste weird

[@katherinekatherine8512]

You are carrying way too many items for carry-on. The rollie, the duffle on top PLUS a personal item. YOU are why there is no room for anyone else’s bag on the plane.

[@alysmalls]

Any time I travel with a sling bag/small backpack, it's always packed away for the flight, but thanks for your concern! ☺

[@lifting4peanutbutter]

[@JenShea]

My guess is she meant that she uses that when she's at her destination. I put my purse in my carryon... I think she probably does the same, when boarding.

[@alysmalls]

Yep exactly 😊
