Pack with me for Europe (Monos carry-on)

[@MissDuke2012]

Thank you!!! There are sooo few videos on monos packing cubes, and I can’t figure out why.

[@LifewithZlat]

Haha no clue, they are great if you ask me:) been using them 3 years now and feel so organized!

[@tw7563]

Thanks for sharing received the packing cubes the carry on pro should be arriving tomorrow! I am sure they both will be great!

[@LifewithZlat]

I am sure you will get a lot of compliments on it! It’s been great for the past few years and still in great condition even if I pack it almost past it’s limits haha 😅

[@runawaytechgal1467]

I love my monos. But I will say you pack triple the clothes that I pack. But I gained some insights into how to fill every crevice of my monos. Thank you!

[@LifewithZlat]

So true mine is packed at max capacity 🤣 🤣🤣 and it still holds up so well after 3 years of travelling!

[@marthadeleon3029]

I love how simple your video is, thank you for the tips.

[@LifewithZlat]

Thanks :) glad it was helpful and enjoy ur vacation!

[@Taki-od8fn]

Thank you for your video. Its really informative. Im just wondering how much did carry on weigh after packing.

[@LifewithZlat]

Thank you:) oh he was pretty heavy at the end 28 pounds. So far no one has weighed him at the airport so I haven’t had issues thank god! Cheers!

[@Taki-od8fn]

@@LifewithZlat Awesome. There is no way we it will pass as carry on besides US airlines but thats ok. I still think it’s the perfect size for a 2-week trip. Thanks once again!

[@ALeads51]

Hi - I was wondering if you have taken the bag on any small Euro airlines. Was hoping to get the carry on plus but don’t want to be racking up the check bag fees. Any insight would be appreciated :)

[@LifewithZlat]

Hi:) I am currently in Europe and have been using it with easy jet, wizz air and British airways without any issues. I had to pay extra to add a carry on but since you check in electronically no one looks at your luggage. The airline that caused me some trouble was airtransat because they rly overbook their flights and even if you check in online they wont send you the boarding pass so you pass by the counter. They had me check it in for free tho so not too bad. Cheers!

[@ALeads51]

@@LifewithZlat good point about the online check-in, I hadnt thought about that! Thanks for the help.

[@sta5348]

Do the monos suitcases work for the airlines going to Europe from Canada? I checked Lufthansa, IKM, etc. and it seems that Monos is LARGER than the size restrictions and it's a concern for me. I'm not sure which flights would accept Monos, and I was told not to use aircanada (despite lufthansa being part of aircanada)

[@LifewithZlat]

Only one I have used is airtransat and had to check it in one time out of 3 and they did it for free as the flight was overbooked. I think that’s the worse case scenario:) hope this helps!

[@sta5348]

@Life with Zlat thank you for your response!

[@wherethedaytakesyou9337]

Another cool video 👍👍

[@LifewithZlat]

Thanks :)

Hey, thanks for sharing what you take on your trips. I think it would be more practical to take a max. of 7 panties and maybe two bikinis, definitely not so many t-shirts. You can always wash stuff by hand. If it is hot, things will dry quickly. If you go somewhere that is cold, put stuff on the heater or near it. I am going to England for 9 days and I am only taking a 24 l backpack that isn't even full. So proud of myself!! When I compare all the stuff I used to take with me to what I am taking now... What a difference. Same thing with toiletries. A shampoo/soap bar, small solid conditioner, toothpaste tabs and a cream deodorant are pretty much all I need. It makes you me feel free. Both hands free because it is a backpack, no need to store it in the ho(s)tel after check out, you can just move freely with it until you have to leave and the most important thing is that it keeps you from buying crap that you do not need :D

[@LifewithZlat]

Hey hey, couldn’t agree more on the t-shirts 🤣 I guess I thought I needed more since travelling for 6 months but turns out what u pack for 2 weeks is good for 6 months!!! I am headed to England too! 24l that’s crazy hehe yeah super freeing and cheap to fly in Europe if u have a small backpack. Have an amazing trip:)

[@Merryyy203]

@@LifewithZlat Yeh, you do not need much. I think taking stuff for a week would also be enough. All you need is a washing machine or a sink :D But it is a trial and error thing. You too!! :)

The link for the rain jacket is the same as the liquids container.

thanks for letting me know and I just updated it :)

[@roadrunner793]

Hi! you have a lot of liquid packed in the toiletry bag. How much liquids are you allowed to bring in a carry on?

[@LifewithZlat]

I use the Amazon bag I got and fill it with mix of liquids plus toothbrushes etc. and never had an issue. I think I have a bit more than allowed as it should fit in a 6x9 ziplock and the Amazon container has some depth to it which allows to fit a bit more. But never had an issue, only place I had it checked was flying through London on the way back home but my containers were empty at that pt. Most airports don’t really check and also in London, on the way to Europe they didn’t even make us take liquids/ computers out cause they had a new technology. Hope it helps:)

[@tianasimison8209]

Hello I’m flying from LA to Stockholm on British Airways. I do have a switch in London. I really want to get the plus, but worried about the size.

[@LifewithZlat]

I have taken British airways in the past and didn’t have an issue:) I am flying with them again through London as well in July. I always check in online and that way i don’t have to go to the counter. Hope that helps. Let me know what you decide and how it goes:)

[@salsan783]

Just want to make sure your Monos carry on pro fit in overhead bag?

[@LifewithZlat]

Absolutely never had an issue fitting it in the overhead bin:)

[@amyyyx10]

What is the other gray carry on bag you have?

[@LifewithZlat]

It’s the monos duffel bag :)

[@mamiekirkland2216]

I’m flying with from US to Greece. Unfortunately when we fly with AEGEAN I can’t bring my monos plus based on their weight and size restrictions. 😢

[@LifewithZlat]

I have never taken Aegean and just checked their luggage guidelines. Looks a bit more restrictive than other European airlines I have used. In my experience since you check in online your luggage isn’t verified so I have never had issues but not sure about Aegean. Hope you have a wonderful vacation in Greece either way :)

[@JennaMarkham]

Hi! Curious if you get asked to check frequently when travel to Europe and with if Europe on some of the smaller carriers? In generally do you get asked to check it in often?

[@LifewithZlat]

Only once so far with air transat and I have taken over 20 flights in the last 3 years. It was because online check in didn’t work and I had to go check in at the counter (it was free since flight was overbooked). For all other flights I checked online and had my boarding pass already. Once you are past security airlines will often ask if you volunteer to check it in at no fee because they overbooked the flight, I usually don’t volunteer unless it is a direct flight. Hope that helps:)

[@sylly654]

I am flying to France this June on Lufthansa, and their carry on restrictions are pretty strict; carry on luggage cannot weigh more than 8kg, so yours would be roughly double that if my math is correct. Next time I will be sure to check baggage size and weight restrictions BEFORE I book my flight 😊

[@LifewithZlat]

Yesss I always check and chose the best option:) usually small airlines I have to pay to add a carry on and if restrictions are tight I have checked it in with Wizz air once but it was something like 20 euros. I also always check in online and avoid going to the counter that way no one checks your luggage:) I will be in France right after you in July, have an amazing trip!

[@victordasilva5255]

How did you fit all 3 dogs in that suitcase ?

[@LifewithZlat]

No dogs in the suitcase:) I wish!

[@krispy3736]

is this the pro or pro plus

[@LifewithZlat]

The pro plus:)

[@krispy3736]

@@LifewithZlat did u have any issues using it throughout europe?

[@LifewithZlat]

@@krispy3736 so far no problems at all in Europe, I check in online so no one weighs or measures it. It fits in the compartment in the plane no prob! But I have taken only standard airlines like easy jet, British airways, wizz and west jet.

[@angieharris8015]

Toiletries etc cost more, due to the Euro being worth more than the U.S. I say, pack your toiletries and such 👍

[@mgpef02]

Is this suitcase the regular size or the bigger carry on?

[@LifewithZlat]

It’s the pro which is the bigger carry on:)

[@adoboFosho]

​@LifewithZlat no the pro means it has a laptop pocket...is a pro or pro plus...plus means more room

[@aphonia0714]

I appreciate this video but I noticed that you put a few liquid items in your makeup bag and not in the actual liquids bag. In my experience, all liquid makeup items need to be squeezed into the clear bag as well. Just a little FYI to others watching. If you pack it the way it is done in the video those pricy makeup items can potentially be taken from you.

[@LifewithZlat]

Thanks for watching :) I never had an issue, only time I had to put them in the little bag was passing through London in March but on the way back in May they didn’t even make us take liquids or tech out, might b a new era coming with an easier security process🤞🏻
