How to pack a United Airlines Basic Economy Bag 17 x 9 x 10 for 3 to 5 days (9x17x10)

[@whitneycastillo7179]

It’s sad that you have to put out a disclaimer about YOUR packing needs. I wish I could pack in a personal item.

[@tavibot]

I'm sorry the internet is so rough. You seem like such a nice person and your information is really useful.

[@bethanyh.9962]

Tip for liquids that you really only need a tiny bit of (foundation, concealer, serums, etc. Would work well for that primer you had!): Put some in a contact lens case! I've been using this trick for years and it saves SO much space and I've never run out of anything, even on 7-10 day trips! :) Great tips, Favor!

[@LifeWithFavor]

Fantastic idea! Thank you! Hugs!

[@AlohaLove2Learn]

omg thank you!!! might do this for my everyday tote bag too!!!

[@kazoobee5520]

thank you so much. traveling for the first time ever soon helped me a lot

[@LifeWithFavor]

So glad I could help!! Thank you! Hugs!

[@kevinonthank]

I agree! Some people like the bundle method but not for me. I like folding everything flat in packing cubes!

[@michelledorch7588]

Thank you Favor!!! You know I love your packing method!!! That’s how I found you 3 yrs ago🥰 for my first Spirit trip. And I enjoy you and Robs company ever since.💖👍🏽

[@msbelindab5231]

Girl. I love how you said please don't tell me I don't need that. Or you should have bought this. You had me at Hello!🤣🤣

[@SIGCruiser]

Love this! I frequently use just a carryon for 7 day cruises (the beauty of being 4’10) but I’m still not as organized as you are. This is awesome. ❤️

[@delesasmith6668]

Thank you thank you and thank you. I’m going to Hawaii on a United basic economy ticket and I was freaking out over the one bag issue. I’m a plus size girl but I feel like I can make this work for me. Definitely ordering this bag

[@sindy6932]

So just to confirm, this is the bag size for the basic economy? Really want to avoid the baggage fee

[@micheln3256]

THIS WAS SO USEFUL - I’m taking United Airlines Basic Economy for Hawaii for about 3 weeks. Wish me luck!

[@Mjcatsnco]

How’s it go? Just booked

[@stevefrommars]

literally me too

[@ramom2240]

Going in 2weeks!

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

They will kick you off for "excess baggage" 😂

[@soniaavelar1430]

thank you, but where is the hair spray, toothbrush, toothpaste, night creams, face wash, sun hat, sunscreen, q-tips, etc.? Am I overpacking? :) Does anyone else pack these things?

[@elisaalvizuri9406]

Where sale those bags!! I can’t find it in anywhere!!

[@jtbasic]

How stringent are they on the size? I'm going traveling for a family reunion and need my camera pag as my personal buy it measures 11.2 inches wide 19.3 inches tall and 8.3 inches deep

[@LifeWithFavor]

In order to check in for the flight we had to show a representative our bag for inspection. She did not insert our bag into a sizer but did pick it up and examine it. We just flew United to Nassau and had the same experience. I can't completely answer you as I personally would not take any chances but your measurements might be hard to notice with ones eyes. If they have you put your bag in the sizer, you may be forced to check it.

[@k.pattbx]

Did you get on with it? My backpack has similar measurements and I’m flying later this week?

[@skaurx26]

Hello my dear, thank you so much for posting this video! I'm traveling next week and your video was very informative.

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi there! You are correct, only the size matter in a carry on bag- they do not weigh them. Have a safe flight! Glad I could help!

[@aysenurerdem8408]

hello, I have London fog bag and it's size 15x13.5 x 8 do you think that can be problem for me in the gate?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi. United always inspects and measures our bags for the basic economy bag. I have never been able to check in fully for my flight without having my bag inspected unless I am checking a bag or have paid for a carry on bag. I cannot say if they would approve or deny your bag. In the terminal where I have flown United they have measuring tapes and I have watched them measure bags. I always make sure my bags are within the airlines guidelines to ensure I won't encounter any issues.

[@aleshalee3394]

Loved this video Favor! I definitely need a little bag for my contacts. I usually just put them in a Ziploc baggy lol Definitely going to invest in something better lol

[@tinaduncan72]

That is a lot of stuff you squeezing in that liquid bag. I'm sure Rob doesn't bring that much, so you might slip a few of your items in his liquids bag.

[@Pumpkinpie718]

I’m definitely getting that Boarding Blue bag for my United Basic Economy flight. Thank YOU for this video… answered all my questions!

[@jarreauwilliams4247]

That bag isn’t there anymore. Do you know of any others?

[@tyh.p.2798]

I just want to thank you so much for your video I'm traveling with United "your opinion" helped me and of course I do have my own ideas but with everything you said it compliments and helps me so much thank you😊

[@LifeWithFavor]

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching! Safe Travels!

[@charlenewoelfel3125]

Thank you for sharing this video! I was looking for a bag that would meet United’s personal item requirements and saw this one on Amazon but from the pictures I couldn’t make out what the quality was like. From your video it seems like just what I’m looking for. Thank you!

[@christopherdorrell6912]

this video was very helpful. i am flying to japan on a united flight. i was worried because i heard united was very strict about bag size this plus my carry on should be more then enough. thank you.

[@nleem3361]

I'm so sad that bag isn't available anymore. It looks great.

[@LifeWithFavor]

I have updated the links... it is available now.

[@tiffanij1662]

It looks like It’s gone again! 😩

[@Lulaluna603]

You’re so sweet Favor! I love your packing videos

[@no_lyfe]

I don't think we will be going anywhere, anytime soon. As always great videos. Thank you for everything that you do.

[@escape183]

So helpful! Thank you! Unfortunately Allegiant's measurements are now 7 x 15 x 16. Luckily BoardingBlue has another 16" one

[@simplymzkira]

Very helpful! Any alternatives for bag on wheels, the one in description box is currently not available from Amazon.

[@LifeWithFavor]

I’ve been looking with no luck. I’m hoping they come back in stock soon. With more people back to flying this type of luggage is selling out very quickly. Thank you for watching!

[@simplymzkira]

@@LifeWithFavor thanks for responding, economy includes carry on and personal. correct?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Correct, I would just confirm with the airline. The airline website should be very specific about what bags are allowed in economy class.

[@azusenablanca84]

I can believe united is using spirit method.. I used fly to my country and I remember we can bring one 50lbs suitcase.

[@marcia5227]

Thank you so much. I’ve been wanting this video for so long 😊

[@deusamaarellano7420]

Would this be considered carry on? Or can i use it as personal item (bag)?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi, the bag in the video is a personal item bag.

[@Toast7160]

@@LifeWithFavoris there a weight limit for the personal bag

[@RachLaLaXx]

Just what I needed for my flight ✈️

Love this! Thank you for all the great details on the Boarding Blue roller bag for United! You do a great job!🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@tinaduncan72]

During my air travel last week I now have to do wheelchair assistance due to respiratory issues from being in 9/11 and I found when I got to the gate they didn't put me in economy like I booked they moved my seat up towards comfort plus I was on Delta.

[@ChastityJaye]

Hey there! I’m flying both Spirit and United... Do you think the bag you showed in your Spirit packing video would work for United as well?

[@LifeWithFavor]

Hi, the Spirit bag is larger than the United bag... If you are traveling both airlines I would choose the United bag. United checks bag sizes at check in, they will not let you print your boarding pass until they check the bag size - she literally pulled out a tape measure. There was online/app check in but you were not given a boarding pass, you had to check in again at the airport. Have a safe flight! :)

[@tinaduncan72]

Favor that is a nice bag my daughter would kill me if I buy another piece of luggage but that holds a lot.

[@marquisamurphy-glover5452]

OMG! This video was great 👍 How many days did you pack in this bag, It seemed like 3 1/2 maybe 4 days?

[@greatness79ajj]

First time watching your video and I love this bag 😍 thanks! Boarding blue 💙

[@AFelizDay]

Great video friend. Thanks for sharing. Hugs my friend 💖😊.

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

This is really helpful to me! I will pack my things now using my Nomad Lane Bento bag for my flight on weekend.

I bought it today in amazon I’m waiting for my bags

[@TessaHill22]

Love your video! Do you happen to have a link for that Relevel makeup brush bag? I don't see it in your "Life with Favor" Amazon favs (now following you). Also interested in your 3-pack TSA liquids bag, if you happen to have a link.

My mom and I both just bought this bag becauseof this video. We are flying economy to Cancun in January and don't want to pay baggage fees. The goal is to only pack in the underseat bag leaving the carry on empty for souvenirs for the return trip.

[@LifeWithFavor]

Nice!! That’s the way to do it for sure!! I love the pottery in Mexico! So many beautiful things to bring home! Have so much fun!! We have been (and vlogged) to Cancun twice and love it!! Hugs!

I’m flying with United economy and I was wondering what’s the weight limit for carry on bags?

[@demionagale7273]

50 I think me too

[@LifeWithFavor]

A Carry on has no weight limit only size ( measurement) limits, only checked bags have a weight limit. A checked bag weight limit on United is 50 pounds. Carry on you bring the bag onto the plane with you and checked bag you check it in with the carrier and they send it to the belly of the plane, the cargo hold in the plane. Hope this helps

[@beautyfrompainxxx]

I’m flying basic economy on Monday and I’m confused as to what types of bag I can bring? I have a smaller black bag that I’m thinking of, similar to a gym bag, though it’s slightly bigger. What happens if the bag is just a few inches over?

[@LifeWithFavor]

What happens depends on the gate crew. If they ask you to place your bag in the sizer and it is too large they will charge you for the bag. Just a guess but you have a 50/50 chance of not getting stopped to size your bag. In our case they walked around the gate area and measured the bags. Several people had to pay for their bags because they did not comply with the sizing regulations. I've never taken a chance. Thank you for watching!

[@beautyfrompainxxx]

Life With Favor oh okay. Thank you for the quick response. My bag is just slightly bigger I think, but I’m not entirely sure. I’ll have to measure. Yeah I didn’t want to take any chances, I’ll be gone for almost a week though and booked basic economy before knowing what it entailed.
