How To Pack In ONLY a CARRY ON (Packing Tips & Best Travel Gear)

[@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.

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

[@coziii.1829]

I was in military Packing cubes are fine but I still roll and compact all my clothes. In a carry on I can get 3 weeks of clothes. But I don’t travel to hike etc I do walk in the cities and towns . If I need something I buy it and give it away when I leave

[@hannastocksick7395]

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.

[@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.

[@methemonkeyking]

Funny no one has answered the question. The video missed that important information.

[@pspr33]

Simple answer: they don't. It says on their pinned comment that they check in their luggage. Clickbait video.

[@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.

[@amymeidinger90]

Amsterdam makes you individually place any liquid in a plastic bag. If not, they will take forever going through your bag. This was just last week for me. They even put my eyedrops in a bag.

[@danutawarec541]

@@amymeidinger90 I thought you had to place all of your liquids/gels etc in one quart size plastic bag and that's all you can carry on...whatever fits in that one small bag. Do you mean they wanted each item in it's own bag too?

[@bryannastewart2505]

I'm so curious about this too! Evidently I am excessively careful about my liquids-- it seems like they fit in a lot. Do you all ever have to take them out? The shampoo/conditioner seemed big as well. I'd love to hear more about that whole situation please :)

[@Nubianette]

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.

[@KahanisGoldenBytes]

As crazy as it sounds, I travel with a 'Power extension board'...it has 6 power sockets and 2 USB sockets...there are plenty of variations of these now....and I really liked what you travel with....it helps me when I want the TV and Table lamp on but still want to charge my gadgets (power bank, camera batteries, mobiles,....) and there is only 1 power socket left for use in the hotel room ...when sharing the room with someone travelling with gadgets, never an issue on the charging of gadgets part...

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. 😊

[@luvzdogz]

As far as rolling or folding, I think I've landed on a hybrid model. 😋 if it's a garment I don't want fold marks on (i.e. linen pants, a dress) I roll it. Shorts, leggings, tanktops, fold those.

THE BEST TRAVEL PACKING VIDEOOOOO!!!!

[@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. :)

I don’t understand how you can get through TSA with so many liquids… in the required plastic bag & in your WC bag too? From my experience you are waaay over your liquid/gel quota for a carry-on bag. Aren’t you ever monitored?

[@maverickmya9687]

Usually it’s 1000 ml in total so perhaps they are under

[@roxanneonthemove4187]

I also wonder how you are able to get through TSA or it’s equivalent, without placing your liquids/gels in a clear quart size bag. I have Global Entry and there are no guarantees that you will get TSA Pre-check.

[@maryshepherd1736]

Is there no weight limit? Our carry on weight limit in Australia and New Zealand is only 7kg (15.4lb). Your system doesn’t seem possible with a low weight limit.

[@eljover2012]

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

[@methemonkeyking]

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?

[@aWanderlustForLife]

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.

[@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!

[@ciannacoleman5125]

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:))

[@bla820]

Ashley, I would love to see what you keep in your purse.

[@ayanamij]

I probably carry the same amount of stuff with me all in a personal item (except cosmetics and hair straightener). Suggest changing your backpack to one with a clamshell design; they fit the same amount of stuff but provide easy access to everything. Packing cubes take up space; they are unnecessary. Vacuum bags will let you fit more stuff although I don't use them because they wrinkle your clothes. In Japan you can also get travel umbrellas that are tiny and lightweight, probably half the size of a normal compact umbrella. Get a cheap laundry bag made of nylon at Dollar Tree, they weigh nothing and take up less space than a pair of boxers. Strap shoes to bag, they take up too much space and make your bag nasty. Your travel adapter is really bad; get a Zendure Passport - it has 5 USB type B/C plugs (with the socket, you can have even more) and can replace the power supply for your computer with the sideport (because it is good for up to 240v which means you can run a HAIRDRYER with it and be fine). It also has a resetting fuse unlike most, so if you blow the fuse, you don't have to buy a new one. Instead of a grocery bag, use a nylon backpack. Sea to Summit (I see you use their handwipes so you know the brand) makes one that is microscopic and folds into itself; it's about the size of a bottle of vitamins but expands to be large enough to carry enough groceries for 2 people. Your liquids and gels are in so many different bags; since you check a bag you can still get through airports fast but if you just use a regulation case for liquids, you can just carry-on and skip check-in. Your toothpaste is also tiny; just get one of those Colgate bottles that are exactly 3.5oz from Dollar Tree. That should last one person about 3+ months. If you do all this stuff you can probably just travel with one checked bag and save yourself a shitton of money. Over the past 4 years of backpacking, I would have spent thousands of dollars in extra bag fees if I hadn't opted for the personal-item-only route. I also recognize that bugspray from Thailand; there is a roll-on version that is way smaller. I carry a lot of extra stuff too, like an electric toothbrush, an extra laptop (2 total), an entire apothecary of antibiotics, locks for lockers, and a DSLR with extra lenses. If you trade your backpack for something larger and ditch the carry-on, any excess can go into a waist pack. Airlines charge anywhere from $30-80 for extra luggage. If you call that a $50 average (low end) then over the course of the 50 countries I visited between 2018 and 2022, I saved $2,500 which is like an entire winter vacation in Thailand.

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!

[@elysmattar]

Good video but the weight on those bags is not addressed. There may not be restriction for domestics flights, but my experience for International is different. For example TAP airlines, has restriction with size and weight of carryone, the same for Iberia and other International airlines, an for domestic flights, an older woman would not be able to lift a heavy bag into the over head.

[@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!

[@ocdomer]

Really enjoyed this - you fit a lot in that bag! We recently bought very similar suitcases from Monos, and so far we love them. They seem to fit in all overhead bins for U.S. domestic flights, but it is our understanding that they won't be allowed as carry-on size bags for our international trips. What has been your experience with your suitcases as carry-on bags during international travel? Also, you had several liquids & lotions over 3 ounces - does the TSA 3-ounce rule apply in countries outside the U.S.?

[@ElroySerrao]

Agree , they definitely won't be allowed on any low cost airlines ... you'd be forced to check-in one of the bags ...

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Hi there! Thought I'd jump in here. The 3 oz thing is common in much of the world and definitely in Europe. Though, they say 100ml, so it's 3.3 oz., in a 1 liter clear bag. (I've lived in Europe since 2014 and travel a lot around Europe). Hope that helps!

[@helenstewart2085]

Australia and New Zealand enforce the clear bag for 100ml maximum size containers.

[@Punchgirl4]

I live in Europe and have just helped my kids pack for a flight with a National carrier (not a low cost), and so have recently checked the details for carry on luggage. Firstly those bags are too big to act as carry-ons for all of the airlines I looked at. The measurements of the Away standard carry-on are fine but these ones are between 2 and 3 cm too big in all dimensions. Secondly, referring to them throughout the video as carry-ons is misleading as they would clearly have to be checked in, due to size and weight. The max weight for a carry-on to go in an overhead bin is 10kg, which is not much at all. Thirdly, the bags would have to be checked anyway, if for no other reason than all of the liquids. They are still really strict throughout Europe on liquids and creams, even my daughter’s mascara had to be put in the 1ltr bag. So the tips were great, but they should have made it clear that they check the cases and just take their backpacks into the cabin.

[@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.

I LOVE IT Were are going to India in July and this really HELPS Thanks!

[@leighalexandra7899]

Did the Away "Bigger" Carry On ever have to be checked? Did it go into the overhead bin of your international flights? I am considering getting the Away Carry-On but may pick the smaller one to be safe. Thank you!

[@leighalexandra7899]

@Not Expat Joe, Thanks for pointing that out. With all the information crammed into this video, I missed that crucial detail! Because of all the horror stories regarding checked luggage, I purchased a small Carry-On suitcase.

[@JustinBrehm]

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

[@jennypenny812]

I did 2 weeks thailand and tokyo with just a carryone, the biggest issue was weight, some airlines as so stingy with weight :(

He won me over at running with a cape!! 😂fun! 5:50

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.

[@kdzgon2]

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

My husband thinks i am crazy. I only have 2 hands so two roller bags on one person is not working for me. I put my laptop roller, my carry soft bag, and a few clothes and liquids in my big roller. I have one bag to roll into the airport for check in, schlepping etc. Once I get checked in and my tag, I pull out the laptop roller and bag. off goes the lighter big bag.

[@kevinl20082008]

Some of the international flights the carry on luggage size seems to get smaller and smaller every year, you guys had any issues?

[@Sandra4ka246810]

I just don't get how you can pack full-size toothpaste or creams in a carry-on (the ones shown in a toiletry bag). Maybe there are different rules for USA control but whenever I travel around Europe, it is considered as liquids, and thus must not be over 100ml and should be packed in a clear sealed pack of no more than 1l volume. So does it mean that if I wanna travel to the USA I can take creams and toothpaste in packs over 100ml and not necessarily pack them into a clear bag and show them during the security check? Thank you

[@tal8866]

Where do you buy the laundry line at?. Is the clear bag TSA approved?

[@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. 👋🏻

[@mjade7529]

I forgot to ask the most important question... if your only doing a carry on and a backpack what do you put your gifts in?

[@elenacallegari2933]

i have a question. let's say i'll use an eastpack travelpack (carry-on size backpack) for an international plane flight. would flying companies like Delta, AirFrance, United etc allow me to add a detachable wheels extension (like the ones for school backpacks) attached to it? i can't find any info about it anywhere ty

[@eawhite924]

Does the Away Bigger Carry On fit on European planes? I had read that their requirements are smaller?

[@kevinonthank]

Lol flippers 😂I can relate I have size 12 feet

[@kuanding1980]

thank you for your practical tips, and your purchase decisions make sense even thought they are not the most trendy(sponsored) items on youtube/instagram. Your interactions are adorable and I enjoyed every minutes of the clip. Thank you.

[@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]

I see your comment on all the packaging videos I watch LOL. I tried the bento bag and found it to be cheaply made, especially the straps. I wound up returning it.

[@SugaSugaBoobooz]

I have a question, for example, if I am flying from CA to Paris but have a stop on Amsterdam, do I have to go through TSA again when at my stop in Amsterdam?

[@sbg1911]

Anytime you go to a different country you have to go through customs. TSA is just a US thing but if you mean security yes ,you will have to go through security as well. That's why I really like the packing cubes I remember when I didn't have them and my stuff was just everywhere! kind of embarrassing 😄

DRAMAMINE TIP: I've never used Dramamine, but I've seen other videos say DO NOT use the ORIGINAL formula. Instead, get their LESS DROWSY formula. It's a different medicine all together that works much better, lasts 24 hours, and doesn't make your drowsy like the original formula. And the original medicine is similar to Benadryl, so it makes you spaced out and tired. Blah

3:01 shoe bags I mean really if I’m like between another outfit and a shoe bag I’m picking another outfit 👗 seems like that would take up space.
