I'd recommend if you get dry eyes a lot and wear contacts, but don't want to screw around with eye drops on a flight, wear glasses and pack the contacts.

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

I agree , you can bring glasses and skip the contact lenses during your flight, however you should still carry your contacts in your carry on bag in case they loose or misplace your luggage. And If you are packing everything in a carry on bag, you need to put your contact solution in your 3-1-1 liquids bag.

[@gypsysnickerdoodle4354]

EXACTLY

[@frankonolfi7328]

I start with contacts then switch to glasses

[@AnteroSports]

Alex... Respectfully... You "missed" something... I'm a 5+ Mile Miler flyer (TV producer) with 6-8 international longhaul flights each year and I decided, before an upcoming trip to Australia, that I would survey some of KZbin's "travel experts" suggestions and I am stunned that I have not seen any "travel expert" offer this advice and this is so simple to implement... BRING A PILLOWCASE... And if you are flying in a window seat and have brought with you any kind of jacket, toss the jacket into the pillowcase and... Voila... You will have a much more comfortable headrest... (If you're flying during cooler months and have brought with you a down jacket, you will have a VERY comfortable pillow, in fact.) And when you get to your destination you can use your pillowcase to help separate used clothing (socks, etc) from your fresh clothes... We ALL sleep with a pillow at home and while the "yoke" headrest you describe here works, if you are at home would you rather sleep wearing that yoke or rest your head on a pillow? (Again, I'm describing sitting in a window seat, for a middle seat or an aisle seat, your yoke headrest is better than nothing...) I've flown for 40 years and I have never seen anyone (other than myself) use a pillowcase in this fashion. I don't get it? Why not do this?

[@nicolepare1646]

Great tips! I also travel extensively all over the world. Just returned from a long haul 15.5 hr flight. As mentioned in others comments - make sure to check the carryon restrictions of the airlines you will traveling on. Some have very strict size and weight restrictions. I personally travel with a small makeup size bag to hold everything I need for the flight in my backpack that I take out and tuck on the side of my seat. Eye mask, lip balm, wipes, earplugs, ginger chews, gum, travel toothbrush and toothpaste, earbuds, a small snack, etc. It allows me to not have a backpack on the floor and have more leg room. I put my flight essentials bag and my charged mini iPad in a ziplock that I pull out before sitting down. Most times I can put my backpack and carryon in top bin.

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

Great suggestions. Thanks for sharing

[@barbarahansen5353]

Whichever one is your “personal item” should go under your seat. Hogging the overhead bin with personal items means someone else will have to gate check their carryon bag. Be considerate.

I carry a roll of doggie bags in carry one bag as well as in my auto too! One roll is less than one inch and slides into a make-up bag or glass case. When used for doggie walking to pick up poop, they appear very small, but for people items, they’re surprisingly generous in size when paper or plastic is smushed together inside. Some doggies bags may even be cute having stripes or other patterns. A dollar store may carry them too!

Love it! I use essential oils but not on a plane. My friend is allergic to mint. And my husband HATES the smell of essential oils. I try to be mindful of scents in a small space.

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

Wow, that is something I didn't think about. I don't really use essential oils often. I only pull out the peppermint if I have a horrible migraine and use very little on my temples. Of course if someone is seated next to me, I am even more mindful. Thanks for sharing. It is definitely something that I will think about next time I travel.

[@barbiec4312]

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

Actually it doesn’t have to be fully charged. I think the rule is at least 30% charged but still, all devices have to be able to turn on if the security officers asks. They want to make sure the device is not a compartment to hide something suspicious. Thank you for your positive feedback and thanks for watching. I appreciate it 😊

@@AlexgoesCoconuts Very true! I have a co-worker whose laptop ran out of battery. When he went through airport security, he was one who was selected to start up his laptop but could not. They made him go in a room to the side, plug in his laptop, and start it up that way. He didn't miss his flight but spent a lot of unplanned time with TSA. I've had to start up my laptop at TSA but honestly have not had to do that for years. I wasn't even sure they still did that.

[@morpheuszzz662]

You travel like I do! Normally people push the hard-sided carry-on cases then talk about sneaking extra stuff on board. Yes, they look cool and make traveling through the airport easier. Like you, however, I prefer to use a duffel bag in flight so everything is right in front of me. I've had great luck with the duffel that Rick Steves sells. It looks similar to yours but has extra pockets on the outside. I like that I rarely even have to put it on my lap to retrieve what I need. I know where things are stored and can easily access through the outside pockets items are in or in the travel pouches like you use. I also use an oversized scarf as a blanket, but mine has pockets on the bottom ends which I use to hold my phone and earbuds case, etc. Handy if I fall asleep while listening to a book. Along with non-liquid OTC medical supplies like Tylenol, Pepto Bismol, etc., I carry hard ginger candies just in case I get motion sickness. Problems are rare but they can happen and I'd rather be prepared than embarrassed and/or miserable. I also pack a pair of "Fitkicks" which are rubber soled stretchy slipper shoes. Very comfortable and take almost no room in a bag because they are completely flat. I then use a carabiner to attach my regular shoes to my duffel so they don't get lost under the seat somewhere. I agree about carrying the water mister to spray on your face, especially on long flights. It's amazing how much that really helps! I also use either ziplocs for garbage or a roll of those pet waste bags, which were very helpful when my kids were little. So many messes could be tied up and either handed over to the flight attendants without being too gross or just carried off the plane myself. Thanks for your effort in making this video and for all the great tips.

1.A card sized like flashlight. 2.Ikea makes a great 97 cent phone stand that is keychain size. 3. REI makes a flat collapsible waterbotttle if u need to conserve space. 4. Caribeaners. 5. Agree with the pillowcase! I have a small zipper one that fits over my neck pillow.

[@suewolf3279]

Many times I have to travel with a lot of prescription medication. Also my prescriptions are normally filled for 90 days in very large bottle. I've recently learned that some pharmacist well give you smaller stickers on small Ziplock bags so you can take just the amount of pills you'll need. Of course I always pack extra pills just in case of delays

Hopefully I will be traveling to Japan around Christmas time. What kind of coat should I wear? What do you wear for cold weather? Do you wear it on the plane? I don't think I will be checking a bag. Thx.

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

For a winter destination, I highly recommend bringing a warm winter coat, a hat, gloves and a scarf. I personally would choose a winter coat that is very warm but lightweight for travel. You can find lots of options in hiking or ski stores. Here is an amazon link for one that could work: amzn.to/3BgbtVE (paid link). As for the plane ride, I usually carry my winter coat onto the plane to keep me warm during the flight. If not I store it in the overhead bin with my carry on luggage and grab it before leaving the plane. Hope that answers all your questions. Happy Travels!

Great list, it has lots of great ideas A couple of other ideas that I have are a thin pair of house shoes, that way you if you take your shoes off, you don't have to walk around barefoot, or have to put on your shoes every time you get up.

Yes, this bag can be too big for certain airlines depending on how much you pack into it. Check the size allowed onto your airline. The straps on this bag are comfortable but it remains a duffle bag that you have to carry on one shoulder so the weight can be an issue. I would recommend a backpack instead of this duffle bag if that is a big concern. Hope that helps. Safe travels!

[@amandareiche9083]

@@AlexgoesCoconuts Also, if traveling with a personal item duffel-style bag and a carry-on suitcase, seek out a duffel with a strap that allows you to place it securely over the roller bag's handle for less carrying and more hands free! The bag you show has this feature--wouldn't ever buy a duffel w/o a strap for attaching it to roller bags

what some ideas for packing for a month of August for Jersey shore I go every year from Arizona and spend some time with my grandpa and we meet his son and his wife at shore house and also i go over their house to some laundry sometimes take a few days get my clothes back, I just my duffel back I wanted as Christmas present I hope I get use this summer. some ideas we just Lounge the house and walk up the beach most the time since my grandpa is cheap now to get a rantal car when they're working so I just sit watch TV and shop on weekend with my aunt, do I think 2 weeks clothes enough?

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

Yes for sure! Especially if you have access to a laundry facility!

You are so good 👍

Thanks ☺

Great tips! I'm looking for an affordable under seat soft bag that has spinner wheels and large enough for a few days worth of clothes.

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

Hi Michelle. I suggest a backpack with wheels like this one on Amazon: amzn.to/3DZHgcu (paid link). I like the fact that you can still carry it on your back if needed but its small enough to fit under the seat when flying. Hope that helps. Happy Travels!

What are the dimensions of this bag? It was like Mary Poppins bag when you were pulling items out. I carry all of my documents in a zipped folder so they don't get scrunched.

All good ideas but I don't see links to any of the products - personal bag, travel pillow kit, travel grid, etc.

I haven't flown since 1998. Things have changed a lot! Question: Do they make you pay the checked bag fee if they ask you to check in your carry on bag last minute?

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

No, The airlines do not charge you for that. Usually they ask you to check in your carry on at the gate before boarding if they see they will not be able to fit all the carryon suitcases onto the plane.

[@dlm4501]

@@AlexgoesCoconuts Ok. Thank you!

[@amandareiche9083]

@@AlexgoesCoconuts You can check in early and get on the plane later in the process if you want free check of your carry-on. This almost always happens on full flights and in cold weather travel.

The little wipes dry out too, they just take longer to sod so than the big ones…

I’ve never had them dry out but I do used them really often

who makes the ergonomic travel pillow kit

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

It is called the MLVOC Travel Pillow . I got it on Amazon. Here is the link: amzn.to/3CLPLqc (paid link). Happy Travels!

[@raymondcunanan1135]

I enjoyed this. Thank you. Just a question, if the airline carry-on baggage limit is 8kg and you have a carry-on luggage and a personal hand bag, do they weigh both of those and add it, or only the carry-on luggage will be weighed and not the handbag? And is there a weight limit to the handbag?

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

They have never weighed my carry on in my 40 years of travel. I wouldn’t concern myself with this. Either way, your handbag does not count towards the total weight. Hope that helps, happy travels!

[@joannalh9491]

I have an Air France flight soon and they have a weight limit for your carryon suitcase/hand baggage plus personal item combined. That said I’ve never had my personal item weighed but twice I’ve had staff come through the waiting area pre flight and weigh carryon suitcases with with a hand held scale and made people gate check bags that were too heavy.

[@DrezdanyWildlife]

@@AlexgoesCoconuts carry-ons are weighed many times. 8lbs is the limit now with most airlines. Your bag is way too large and heavy with all your contents.

[@aniveed8005]

@@DrezdanyWildlife I just checked with United, and they have NO weight limit, although they have very detailed measurements for carryons and personal items. And I wonder if you have confused POUNDS (lbs) with KILOS (kg)... because airlines that do specify weight limits for carry-ons (like COPA) often state 8 kg., which is approx. 17.6 lbs.

[@pintimichele6095]

Doesn’t that bag exceed the size for under seat storage?

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

No it doesn't, however always check with the airline you are traveling with. Each airline has different dimensions of accepted carry-on bags.

[@ynezcarter7471]

Wondering how much does the bag weighs with all of the stuff in it

[@DrezdanyWildlife]

It will weigh too much with all of her contents. Most are not even necessary and inefficient.

Hawaii doesn't allow shout stain remover. It has an ingredient that is banned on the islands.

I’ve never heard that. It’s sold at Target on Oahu. Is it specific to Hawaii island?

Can someone explain why security won’t let you pass through if your electronics aren’t charged?

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

They want to make sure it’s not just a hiding place for explosives. That is what the tsa agent told me.
