Essentials for Your Carry-On Bag

[@karenbrisbane3202]

Oh I enjoy your videos so much I think I’ve watched them three times each. I especially love the bloopers at the end. we are going to Europe for a couple weeks without a care in the world, Thanks to your tips and tricks God bless and happy traveling

[@milissaklicka7019]

We are traveling is September to France, Nice and Paris and Portugal, Lisbon and Lagos for 42 days!!! Although we have traveled frequently to Europe, thank you for all of your great suggestions!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Take me with you! Have a beautiful time.

[@tracielatham8415]

I have been watching your videos while preparing for a trip to Italy. Your information is so helpful! Thanks so much for all the tips!

[@thesupergirl20186]

Hello, I am eating up your videos, thank you, thank you, thank you! In June I will be traveling alone to Scotland - the first time out of the country at 62 years old!!! I will be attending a art workshop but have several days on my own before and after. I booked my flight non stop (I’m brave but not stupid!) but have so many anxieties about travel alone abroad for the first time! I also have MS, which is stable today but does give me challenges to contend with. I’ve been gathering things you’ve recommended- leaving from VA (hot in June), not sure what to expect in Scotland in June! Trying to pack light but will have to bring some art supplies. My head is spinning! Keep the advice coming! It would be easier without Covid to worry about too! Ahhhh!!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

True; we went in June and needed desperately a scarf, hat and gloves. I would pack a thick rain coat in the outer pocket; just stuff it in there for the airplane ride and security. We went into the Highlands and it was super windy so that was the main thing. It wasn't freezing but with the wind it was awful. Vests are too bulky to pack even though I took one. Thin layers and then that outer coat. Have such an awesome time! Totally sign up for a food tour if you can; we always do but did not there. Easy to do because during the day and you can ask the guide about safe areas to go to later. Have fun!

[@aliciaallen5575]

I would use the straps on the toiletry bag to hold a wipe pouch (makeup, baby, flushable, sanitizing, etc). I love your videos. Stay safe.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks!!

[@corriepitt7630]

Your recommendations are spot on - I have a number of these item already! I am devoted to compression bags; but: I can pack so much with them, my bag gets heavy quickly. As a lone traveller, a bit older, I need to watch the total weight of my bag. I’d love a video sometime about how to pack light. P.S. Ollie is so cute.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks, Corrie. I will think on that.

[@cherylrucinski1386]

I would pack my sleep eyemask under the straps of that makeup bags. Since most of the stuff would be for night.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great idea Cheryl!

[@Sara11614]

The idea of packing the toiletry bag opened and flat is so flipping smart. I wouldn't have thought of that. My husband and I are going on a mission trip in a few months. I've never been on a commercial flight. We are only able to take a carry on and the personal bag for an 8 day trip to Guatemala. So I have been watching tons of your videos the past few days. Thanks for the great advice.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yay!! I have this one that may help. We packed for 10 days to Albania teaching kids on a beach every morning; it can be done with planning...and washing in a sink.

[@christinachudy1023]

omg! when you got to the travel toiletry bag i got excited, i seen a Mary Kay product and its crazy because is sell Mary Kay and in the area im in many people dont wear makeup or use Mary Kay products!! thank you for supporting your Mary Kay consultant !

Great idea Christy!

[@janstickles3035]

For the elastic straps on the toiletry kit- a dry lite micro fiber towel by REI or Sea to Summit. Various sizes, very absorbent and handy to have.

Especially for those countries that don't use washcloths.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I am so glad. Thank you for the update!!!

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

I got the GoTubb and compression bags a while back, and I can’t travel without them thanks to you Laurie! I also reuse my skincare containers when they are good quality, so I never buy travel size options which are much more expensive and wasteful. I just came back from a trip to a resort in the DR, it was amazing! Very safe for COVID, if someone has questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Hi, Laurie! I stumbled across your channel many months ago and I love it. Your tips and recommendations are always so helpful! We have a trip to Ireland next week and I'm trying to pack for a week in a carry-on suitcase. Today I'm packing while watching your videos to help me. 🙂 Many thanks for this service you're providing!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you thank you!!

[@cathyberetski1472]

I enjoy your videos. My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our children planned a trip with many memorable surprises from our home in PA to WA and OR, and they accompanied us. It was fabulous! Your TSA and various travel tips were very accurate. I have always used compression cubes and vacuum bags for packing. Another tip is that I put my shoes in plastic shower caps; then, discard the caps. It works much better than the shoe covers. Thank you for continuing to inform us on various tips. You and your dog always bring a smile to my face. Wishing you safe travels and enjoyment.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you! Oh, wow, OR!

[@katfran492]

I love that you know who Tripped is & are discussing their products. I was holding off on ordering any of their products until someone reviewed them and posted about it. I’ve been using Eagle Creek compression cubes for years and was worried about switching brands.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Both are great brands. Yes, I bought their compression cubes last year or 2 years ago and love their newer products as well. I promise!

[@lindamirarchi8535]

I've been slowly collecting your favorite items and recently got to use the compression bags, makeup brush bag and mini liquid tubes. The tubes are a game changer! Thanks for all the research and testing you do.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That is awesome!

[@donnabremerman1423]

I would use the straps on the pouch for either a hand towel or a pillow case if you prefer using your own items from home. I really love the compression cubes!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great idea Donna!

[@TJ-Games]

Putting stuff sideways in my liquids bag totally freed up a lot of space! Thanks so much! :D

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

It took me 9 years to figure that out.

[@shereegarrett9241]

I would use the straps for putting over my medicine pouch. It's one of those flat ones with the little baggies for each day, that opens like a folder. Hubby loves his when he goes on work trips because each day he can just grab all his morning pills and his night pills without having to dig thru pill bottles or those little cube organizers.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh cool! I have that too. Thanks Sheree!

[@giselesmith7795]

Hi Laurie! I just came back from a cross country flight and vacation. First time I had flown in 20 years so your videos helped me tremendously. Got some new travel items you recommended as well. Your guidance made the TSA check easy-peasy and, aside from overpacking issues, I had a great time. Keep sending out your tips, they are super!

[@jacquelyns9709]

I looked up the flexible phone holder. It had pictures showing it being used to hold up small cookbook and hanging a traveling tote bag from a chair arm. That would be good to hang a purse on a restaurant table. Folds flat and has multiple uses! I put 1 in my Amazon Shopping Cart. I'm considering it for Christmas gifts for my friends. We like to give practical gifts.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

It would hold ipads and skinny cookbooks but not a purse because it would be off balance...unless you sat the purse on top of it.

[@kaitlynnp2719]

I've been binge watching for videos for a week straight in excitement. It's so nice to have these detailed refreshers after not flying for so long. I am flying from Canada to England in 9 days to see my fiancé for the first time since 2019. By the time we see eachother it will have been 651 days of separation. So I am extremely appreciative for your videos, to help me remember important tips and tricks that I might have forgotten in my excitement!! Thank you for your content!

I would use the elastic straps on the back of the toiletry bag: eye mask, quick access for blocking out light for overnight flights or if you get a headache.

You could pack the soft packs of Clorox or Lysol wipes in the straps. I always take some when I travel to disinfect in my hotel room. The Unmask Mask is great, more breathable and doesn’t fog your glasses!

I would put a scarf in those straps. He would be able to get to it easily on the plane. I love your videos Laurie!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great idea! Someone else mentioned that too.

[@thatgirlPAIGE94]

Thank you! I don’t plan on traveling again until January but I had already made up my mind to use a backpack as my personal item 👍🏾

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I do enjoy them again.

Thanks for uploading. I love your review .

Love your Channel. I am addicted to packing videos, love to watch even when I'm not planning a trip. I DO have a trip planned at the moment, out of country, but that is now in question. We're booked for my bucket-list destination to the French Polynesia. 3 days ago we were super excited and got our approvals from the french govt., etc. Well, things changed fast, and the country is now on a 2 week lockdown. Travel to-from and inter-island is still allowed for tourists, but you have to remain in your resorts. No excursions, hiking, sightseeing, diving, etc., outside your resort. We leave in 3 weeks, so we are watching closely to see how this plays out. Plan B: The Caribbean.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh my word; how frustrating! Okay, keep us updated.

Just found you and can’t wait to purchase some of the goods that you’ve showcased. I only travel from Maine to Vegas now, to see our daughter and her family. Thru the years I’ve tried to maneuver and fit in as much as possible, but I am definitely investing in those travel cubes ASAP. Wonderful tips. I’m usually lugging my work laptop, therefore I always check a bag as I’m not fighting for overhead space for both items and a purse. Those Ecco boots looked like they were comfortable and I’m impressed with the sole. Thanks so much and binging on.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I would only buy Ecco if I could afford them all lol. Have a wonderful time packing and flying.

Although I don’t sell Mary Kay anymore, I still order for myself. I always buy enough of the sample packets of skin care: serum, cleanser, day and night moisturizer, eye cream, primer etc. I bring enough for a couple of extra days “just in case”. You can put it in your carry on because packets are way less than 3oz. Less essentials to bring back home, more room for stuff I buy while traveling. I❤️Mary Kay. If the trip is only for a week or less, I bring a MK skin care go pack with the little baby tubes.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

So smart! I use MK, and I LOVE their unscented face cleansing cloths!!!

Thank you, Teresa!

I love your videos. They help a lot. Thank you.

I have been traveling since I was a young child. At that time all the bags would go under the plane and a person would just have a small cosmetic bag or other small bag to go on the plane. If you want to check one free suitcase under the plane one can get an American Airlines credit card if you travel AmericanAirlines quite a bit. I personally wish that they would give everyone a free checked bag so that everyone does not have to feel like they have to bring huge bags on the plane.I like to check my bags and carry just a very small carry-on bag with a few essential items. I do not like to keep up with a large carry on while waiting to board.

[@gabriellarosa5015]

Your videos always help :)). I have been traveling with just a carry-on and a backpack for over 10 years and I love it!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, we have been doing this for 20 years. It can be done.

[@gabriellarosa5015]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie and the amount of clothes is amazing lol

[@lesajohnson8409]

Thank you! I listen because my first time to be on a plane will be May 14, 2022. We are going from Nashville to Orlando. So I try to make sure I know what can & can not be taken as a carryon. I have planned to use my backpack

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, here is a helpful video: bit.ly/NOTaLiquid

[@ccoolstuff1]

I so enjoy your travel tips. so informative. I've ordered the Lush soap and the compression bags. Did not about either. thank you do much☺️

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@liss2503]

I have those compression bags (the white/ green ones) and that travel purse (mine is black). I love them. Use them all the time.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That purse can fit so much!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

I clean and save the plastic bags that bread comes in. They're great (and free) for packing shoes. I love the Humangear silicone bottles. I squeeze out any air in them before closing them to take up less space.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Fantastic #travelhack

[@carolgodwin9484]

Just saw this. Lots of useful tips. I had commented on what I consider essentials for my carry on bag in your video on what to not wear on an airplane. I've just started using travel cubes and now I see how useful compression cubes are I'll have to get some. I like the see through cubes BTW. (I said I take 3.5 oz. of liquids - checked - it's 3.4 oz.!)

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks; hope your flights go well!
