[@KeepGoingPlaces]

We’ve received a TON of questions about how/if we can carry-on each of our suitcases given (1) the large liquids in our toiletry bag and (2) their seemingly higher than allowed weight. To clarify, we do NOT carry our suitcases on our flights. We check them, which is generally included in the international and domestic flights we book. We use and prefer traveling with a carry-on suitcase because they are way easier to travel with long term across destinations. Whether we’re lugging them on and off trains across Europe or on and off a longtail boat in Thailand, they’re much better than a big checked suitcase. Also, our carry-ons always fit into the trunk of cars when we road trip around countries. So, we pack our carry-ons to maximize space and get around countries easier for 2-3 month trips. Hope this makes sense! Let us know if you have any other questions.

[@larkm.dalinrobart3316]

Thanks for the clarification. Very helpful info!

[@bellaluce7088]

You seem like nice enough people, but why use a title that's so needlessly misleading? Definition: car·ry-on /ˈkerēˌän/ noun a bag or suitcase taken ONTO an aircraft as handheld luggage. adjective: carry-on; adjective: carryon (of a bag or suitcase) SUITABLE for taking on to an aircraft as handheld luggage.

[@wendyon4517]

Makes sense. Looking at your clothing list I could probably easily travel with a carry-on and underseat backpack. I pack less clothing items for a monthlong trip to visit family... but I've easy access to laundry etc. Wow: I pack half of what Jordan does and still don't wear some items (but am happy I've never had the panic of last underwear).

[@Sdority905]

In that case you need to change the title of the video.... very misleading

[@douglash3]

Thanks for the clarification! I enjoyed the video and picked up some new tips! But it makes sense now because I doubt Jordan would be able to bring both his "carry-on" and huge camera bag on the plane.

[@auntlynnie]

My suggestion is to keep photocopies of your passports, immunization documentation, and drivers licenses in your other bag. That way, if you lose your originals, you have the numbers to request replacement documents.

[@zahramissy4837]

Thank u

[@Blackdiamond929_]

I’m confused I thought this was a carry on 😅. Clearly not when brining a whole tooth paste

[@sageduff4747]

I always pack a full ‘pharmacy’ in my carry-on when I travel, internationally especially. While yes, you can find meds wherever you travel, my experience is that they probably won’t be exactly the same as what you’re used to. Plus, I’ve seen/experienced what happens when you don’t feel well on the flight and have nothing with you to help. So I always always have anti-nausea, upset stomach, cold meds, cough drops, Tylenol, anti-diarrheal, and some bandaids with me.

[@catkc]

Plus - not everything that is over the counter in your country will necessarily be over the counter in your destinations.

Packing your shoes together takes more space and you don’t need to buy one bag for them: a grocery bag or even a shower cap works.

[@carolynmerritt7100]

Exactly, i just use grocery bags for shoes. I keep any zipper bags from any store purchases ie curtains good for toiletries or anything. Also zip lock bags will work. I just like clear so i can easily bsee without tossing everything out. Whatever works for each.

[@buffybowman1192]

I have watched dozens of packing videos for an upcoming 3-6 month trip to Europe. That was by far the BEST! Finally a good one!

[@KatieRockey]

The complaint you have with the away bigger carry-on is the same one I mentioned in my review video too: the frame of the compression system breaking. I’ve had my suitcase for over 4 years and that’s the one thing that has broke. Great video!

[@2000konnie]

I was glad to see a headline for "not" rolling clothing. Your video is unique in that regard. Rolling might work for some people, but rolling all clothing items is way too much work for me. I like just talking out my cubes with everything folded flat (except for small items like socks). For me, it's more about weight than space, so I try to use the lightest weight, within reason, clothing items. I also look for the least bulky clothing. A bulky sweater can take up a lot of luggage real estate. For shoes, I found individual shoe bags. This increases the options of where to fit the shoes.

[@ayanamij]

Rolling clothes is awful. Folding saves space. I have NO IDEA why people think rolling their clothes makes them smaller.

[@SueRosalie]

@@ayanamij I agree. I hate the look of rolled clothes, you can't see what they are. With packing cubes your folded shirts stay neat anyway.

[@CannaNoir]

Every time I try rolling clothes to pack I end up undoing it to fold it all different, and clothes ALWAYS. It uses MUCH less space when I don't roll my clothes to pack. I don't understand why so many say rolling is space saving or how it is that way for the roller packers. Lol. 😅

[@CannaNoir]

​@ayanamij I've never understood. I'm almost convinced it's a prank that too many ppl thought was real and the person that started it doesn't wanna tell everyone after all this time. JUST LIKE THAT GUY THAT MADE SO MANY BELIEVE ANIMAL NUDITY WAS AMERICAS PROBLEM!! 😂 He made a society, ppl dressed animals up, and eventually someone found out he was a comedian and put 2 and 2 together so he came clean saying him and a friend came up with the idea one night and couldn't stop once it got so big and went so far. 😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@2000konnie]

@@CannaNoir Rolling clothes kind of made sense when those people started advocating it, but when I tried it myself, I found it took a ridiculous amount of extra work and time to do -- and the clothes that wrinkle, still wrinkle, just in a different way. So if it was a prank, it was an elaborate one. :)

Nicely done! I love a good packing video :) So many people love these Away bags. Once mine finally breaks (I've had it for 9 years!), I might get this one! Oh! And I have that same backpack and have had it for years. Loved it so much that I got the mini for when I'm running around town at home.

[@lumbauthor2]

Hi there, I'm in England and have travelled for most of my life here and there, and Packing cubes are great. I've just put my Primark shoe bags into my main case. Really usual tips.👍

[@dkwillrn]

If you get motion sickness, Amazon sells “ low dose Dramamine” this is actually Meclizine. These tablets come in a container like your or in a another regular bottle. The nice part about these is they are breakable 25 mg tablets that are scored and can easily be broken into fourths. I am horribly sensitive to medication and I can actually take a 1/4 tablet and function without excessive sleepiness and they work better than anything I’ve used. I keep them in my purse and cannot even drive curvy roads or stand downstream of a river and watch the water without feeling ill. These tablets also can be chewed ( not much flavor and not gross) for rapid effect. I have taken stock , these are awesome!

[@ItsMeJoyO]

Amazed to see they all fit and weigh 7kg. Tried in one of my domestic trips and my luggage was over the weight limit.

[@michaelkelley6905]

A couple of thoughts for the toiletries bag, the clear one that’s limited to one liter/quart size and liquids of max 100 ml per container. I f you need more space or more toiletries, have a second bag that you put all the non-liquid items in - toothbrush, floss, medicines (pills, not liquids), razor, etc in. I just started doing this on the last couple of trips and I have more room than I need for those liquid items. I use the Nalgene bottles generally, although there are other bottles that weigh less and are less robust, imo. You can also use clear Stretch film (like Saran Wrap) in little squares to put an additional seal under the lids to eliminate spillage inside your toilet bag. I use these in particular on the travel size items with a flip open lid to avoid leaks. Great tips on the video. I haven’t checked a bag in several years, on multiple trips in all seasons, for 2 weeks or more. Some of the budget carriers actually weigh your carry on bag and can be unbelievably restrictive. All about generating additional revenue.

[@Dianeinjax4614]

Seems like you pack a lot in the carry-ons, thanks for the tips! Do you ever have a problem with the weight of each carryon?

[@douglasharrislane2748]

My travel tip is take less clothes.Each outfit can be worn twice (socks, underwear, shirts,pants) hang or fold clothes in between wearing. So for a two week vacation you only need seven outfits to wear. (IF you find a washer machine that's a bonus)

[@tiffanymorantes5391]

I bring liquid detergent or pods and hand wash!

[@sergel02]

Pants and shirts, but I don’t know about underwear and undershirts especially in hot or humid weather.

[@CannaNoir]

Also, if you plan on buying clothes wherever you're traveling to so you can bring them home, you don't need to take as much to get there.😊 you can also mail yourself stuff you get there, or clothes etc you just don't want to carry. It will cost less than airline fees cost almost every time!

[@kat22885]

Definitely added some things to my wish list! I recently bought a backpack for upcoming travel. My husband kept suggesting ones saying “it’s exactly what you’re looking for!” And I’d respond with “but it’s ugly.” 😆 Didn’t go with the pac safe one, it was the runner up. Hopefully I made the right choice!

Great tips! I'm a die hard packing cube fan (I also love EC ones). We had carry ons for our 3 wk trip to Japan but they forced us to gate check and when we arrived my suitcase looked like it was eaten by a trex and all that was left was the metal frame thankfully with all of my packing cubes still in place but anything else like small things in my front and back pockets were GONE 😫 lesson learned, packing cubes for life!

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Yes, packing cubes for the win! Sorry to hear about that experience. I’m always crossing my fingers when boarding the plane that there is overhead room left so we don’t have to check our bags.

[@KiKiQuiQuiKiKi]

That is terrible!!!!! 😩 Thanks for the advice, as I wouldn’t have imagined that happening.

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

This is amazing, thank you for sharing this. I have also been traveling all the time and have been using my handy carry-on bag from Nomad Lane, their Bento Bag. It's the best, functional, you can store all your valuables, essentials, and documents, and can fit perfectly underneath your seat on the plane. Thought would recommend it too!

[@Silverstar925]

Everything that you should look really efficient and smart to have especially the anti-theft backpack because you can never be too careful with people nowadays and I think all of us have ran around the house with a cape as a child jumping from couch to couch not falling in the lava LOL

[@maryjeant]

I'm really curious since you're traveling the world with a carry-on that is already that heavy how do you stay under the 7 kg / 15 lb that most international Airlines have as their carry on limit? Are they just not weighing the bags? They look pretty packed and heavy to me.

If you're doing carry-on only, just buy liquids like shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, and lotion when you get wherever you're going and ditch it before you fly back. That way you only have to pack essential liquids in your carry-on that you would need during your actual travel days (liquid makeup, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, etc.), all in travel bottles and all fitting in that one quart-sized bag...hopefully. 😊

They’d have to check it. The title is interesting, since that would make the bag not a carry-on. Especially if it’s a larger carry-on. That would only work in the US, or on a US carrier. I think all the other tips are good.

Im wondering what several other commenters have asked, as well. Is your toiletry bag holding what you travel 'on the ground' with vs fly with? It is a bit confusing. Also, I am new to your channel and haven't looked through your past videos, but there's no way you can use those suitcases as carry-on in Europe. What do you do in the cases where there are much tighter restrictions? Thanks, I really enjoyed your video. Im always looking to learn whatever i can. It seems rather silly how bent out of shape people can get over rolling, not rolling, cubes or no cubes, etc. A very big factor is what kind of trip you are going on and everyone finds things that work for them. Let's just let people ask questions, learn from each other without getting worked up. Looking forward to seeing more from you both.👍

How do you get that toiletry bag through security? That is a ton of liquids! Other than that love the video. On mosquito bites I highly recommend YoungLiving's Rose Ointment, it looks pricy but lasts forever! I use it on bites, scrapes, rashes, chapped lips etc. Stops the itching and for me, who is a little more sensitive to mosquitos, shortens healing time to a few days rather than a week. Plus you can decant into a used lip balm container (the well type, not tubes) and even that amount is more than enough for a trip or everyday carry.

[@ptt0217]

Pure tea tree oil is the best to prevent and treat all kind of insect bites. I have one with me at all times ( like I need my diver license) since my baby girl always had serious reaction from the mosquitoes bites. ( she’s now 22:))

[@eljover2012]

Excellent way to pack. The question is: how much does each of those carry on (and hand carry) weigh?

I’m sure they weigh much more than the limited amount the airline permits. The question I have is, does the airline charge for an overweight carry on?

OMG I love that you pack your shoes in a protector bag. I do NOT understand how people throw their shoes into their luggage without putting them in a bag to keep everything else clean including the luggage itself. We don’t wear shoes in our house either. When you think about what is on the bottom of your shoes how could you possibly want that touching your luggage or your clean clothes.

I can put my shoes (usually Tieks, nice and compact) because all my clothes are in packing cubes, so my clean clothes are protected.

THANK YOU ❤️

I had the same problem with my AWAY bag (the frame for the compression side broke). I sent an email to AWAY and they replaced my bag. They sent me a bag and I had to return the one I had at the time. Just a thought.

Awesome information

[@AnneMB955]

Being only 160cm, can you assure me I’d be able to lift these bags into the overhead locker? Carry-on luggage is not always ‘lighter’. Thx for your offer of questions. 👋🏻

[@naturallygorg85]

Great video! What type of packing cubes do you recommend?

[@sdophoto1405]

Good video but isn't a lot of your toiletry items suppose to go in a 3-1-1 bag? Also that camera backpack looks awfully big to be your personal item bag? Or am I missing something? I roll clothes but I might try your method to see how it works

[@elenapenades7535]

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I guess you only travel to warm places. What about sweaters and jackets? Hicking boots? They are bulky and heavy.

[@sarahconstance493]

Love your videos! Have you flown aer lingus with this backpack as your personal item? New to international travel and I’m curious if the dimensions are a couple inches bigger than what they say a carry on has to be, will they make you check it? are air lines pretty strict about that?

[@RandomJane104]

They have dramamine made from 100% ginger powder now and it works pretty much perfectly for motion sickness. I tried it for my last flight and didn't feel sick at all.

[@nadinajones7868]

Have you tried Dramamine Non-Drowsy made with natural ginger? I find these to be just as good as the regular version but I don't get sleepy! They also make ginger chews that work.

I would love to see a video on how you manage motion sickness during your travels! I suffer from motion sickness too and it holds me back from planning trips because I’m anxious about feeling sick on the trip. It might be helpful to hear your experiences about it.

[@KS-di4df]

Dramamine or Gravol! I have horrible motion sickness but also I have family living in India while I’m in the US, which is more than a day of flying each way. Plus, I go to college out of the country. Without Dramamine I’d be terrified.

[@Sdority905]

I started using the wristbands. They put pressure on the bottom of your wrist which somehow regulates blood flow or something...actually not 100% sure how it works but when I use it I dont feel sick. It's really nice bc I ised it on boats and mini plane rides, and I didnt have to take medicine that made me drowsy.

[@kathylutter9211]

You should take 1/2 (or whole )non-drowsy Dramamine at bedtime the night before travel to avoid the sleepiness during the day of travel . (The drug covers you for 24 hours) and take 3 or 4 ginger root tablets about 30 minutes before travel .Bring ginger candies . Ginger is known to be very effective for motion sickness . This always works for me on boats

[@alexmoore4327]

Since my only luggage for indefinite travel (4 seasons) is a 19L backpack, I use a Ranger Roll to pack my clothes. Any other way won't work.
