Packing Hacks for a CarryOn (2022 Travel)

[@RecoveryHacker]

I'm literally standing in PDX waiting for my flight to leave. I absolutely positively suggest everyone pays close attention to Laurie's advice on the TSA line. It was a BREEZE, with everything Laurie said playing out step by step.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yay!!! Hope your trip is great!

[@elissalewallen1644]

Same here! I recently flew for the first time and watched her videos to prepare. It made going through TSA super easy and I was able to keep moving through the line and not hold up the people behind me asking questions.

[@AnneMB955]

Again, great, practical, logical ideas, Laurie. What works for me: 1. I only pack one pair of shoes so a dedicated shoe bag is marvellous. (Socks stored in shoes) 2. Water bottle, buy one when I get to destination and keep refilling. Saves bag space. 3. Laundry - dedicated laundry days in itinerary. Cloth laundry bag which gets washed and dried at the same time. Happy travels.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Laundry would be a game changer. One pair! That's smart.

[@autumnrose_tv]

For those interested in ultralight travel, merino wool clothing is a good option. They usually start getting smelly after 3-4 wears so they don’t need to be washed as often

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes yes and the Instagram friend I mention gives lots of tips. 5kilotraveller

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

Mine smell after one wear. If you’re not an antiperspirant user, they’ll smell like a normal shirt would.

[@EveKoivulan]

@@livelongandprospermary8796 you want to check if it's actually a blend, not 100 % merino.

[@LovelyLiss]

I learned so much more this video. The shoes pointing toward the emergency exits is a great tip! I’ve never heard of that before. Thank you Laurie 💜

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh good! I have to remember that one myself.

[@pualani609local9]

Yes, thank you Laurie best tip ever about putting your shoes pointing towards the stairs..🤙🏼

[@jenharvey3397]

In addition, I pack extra N95 masks and eye protection (for carry on travel, swim goggles are good) so in case I have to escape through smoke filled corridors in the middle of the night, I have some protection.

[@beckyrespess4953]

Mid-December my grandson and I went to Ireland. I used almost every piece of advice Laurie has given us. I will say it made our travel much easier. We were on 3 different airlines through the trip. I will say Aer Lingus was the luxury car of all 3. My Ecco booties were the best shoes I have ever worn. I walked in them every day. Thank you Laurie.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yay! I am so happy it all worked out. I love those shoes!

[@mmorden9938]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie me too!!! wearing them now!!

[@dc705]

I just used packing cubes for the first time, based on your videos. Great at keeping me organized! And I learned how much I overpacked at the end of my trip, by how many clean clothes were still in the cubes... 🙂

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I too learn something on every single trip.

[@thatgirlPAIGE94]

I absolutely love soap sheets! Totally agree with utilizing ziplock baggies

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

They come with so many inside too!

[@lisamerriman255]

Thanks for this video. I always pack an insulated water bottle for my husband and I whenever we travel. Driving, flying, cruising, I’ve got to have my water with me at all times! 😃

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

They all seem to have a taste to me.

[@sandramolinas4813]

I use disposable shower caps from the beauty supply store To cover each shoe. They come in packs of 100 are inexpensive and a very light way to prevent the dirt on bottom of shoes to touch your clothing

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Such a deal!

[@j.m.7056]

Great tip, thanks Sandra!

[@JC-sf2qm]

Thanks for a great tip for purchasing those shower caps ... they work great ! Happy trails & Safe travels!

[@deniseyoung3738]

I mix and match my clothes also, but will pack an "outfit" near the top of my bag if I have a stop on the way to my destination....for example, if I fly from the cold to Florida and stay in an hotel the night before my cruise. Then I can just pull out that one outfit the next day and be ready to go. Thanks for the tips!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Sounds great! Very smart. I hope you get to go on many cruises this year!

[@christinaedris839]

Hey, Laurie! I stumbled upon your videos when searching for packing videos for my up coming Jamaica trip. Love all your videos. I haven't traveled on a plane since 2010! Thank you so much!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh how exciting! Do not miss the first time in tsa line video!

[@ontariogirl8312]

My hotel valet hack: I have a bright pink collapsible small dog water dish!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes! Smart!

[@ashleyfades5956]

The travel valet changed the game for me. No small items have been left behind since. I got a 2 pack on Amazon that has movie quotes on the inside. I also recently found shoe covers in the hardware section of the dollar tree that I am testing on my next cruise.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh nice! I'll look when I am there.

[@joleneweaver7578]

Thank you for your suggestions tsa was so glad I had my snacks and liquids out ..They even said thank you. I really appreciate your help and great tips

[@itouchten]

Lots of great ideas! I usually travel with Coghlan's Bungee clothline and a small portion of bar soap in case I have to do some laundry. It comes in handy.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I bet so. Thank you!

[@catalinawoody6954]

For Christmas my presents to family members were all travel related items from your videos. Many I had already purchased for myself and am enjoying. Since we all love to travel, they were all thrilled. Thank you for keeping us informed and making us better packers!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for sharing!! It's fun giving travel gifts.

[@suzanne8284]

Laurie - I recently traveled with a carry-on only and followed your "toiletries in pouches" tip. Worked amazing! Thank you!

[@kathleenhess1337]

I love to use the very small "ziploc" style bags, labeled as pill bags in the pharmacy aisles. They can hold pills, jewelry, several cotton rounds soaked with make up remover, and the list goes on. I even use these bags for small amounts of spices when camping, or saving seeds from the garden. Happy travels!

[@itouchten]

@@kathleenhess1337 thank you! I was literally looking for those yesterday so I could put my daily supply of collogen peptides in them.

[@BOOKKAT74]

@@itouchten I have found many sizes of small “ziploc” type bags in the craft section of the dollar store. I had never thought of using them for pills. Thanks for the idea.

[@susanfrankenstien9999]

i have a continence problem that requires me to pack my supplies. I have found that I divide my supplies and clothes between 2 suitcases so that I won't be caught without one or the other. Love your site, lots of great ideas.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

So smart! Love it.

[@LadyOfRain1]

For make-up, chec out Elate cosmetics. They sell their colour palettes for eye make-up, fountation, blush, etc as refills, so you can put together your own little personalized palette in one of their magnetic bamboo palettes to use up minimal space and have exactly you need for a full face!

[@LB-hr3ce]

I always appreciate the help you give us, to make our travels go more smoothly.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I'm glad to help. Many happy and smooth travels to you!

[@clrikard7470]

I love the different pouches but I have found that ziplocks are lighter in weight and more pliable to slide in smaller spaces

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes smoosh and squish!

[@patsyfoister684]

Still loving all your tips. Covid has postponed my trip to the UK for 2 years, but this is the year!!!

One thing that I always do with my shoes and sandals is pack them in the under compartment of the interior suitcase liner. My suitcases have a zipper down the middle and I pack them in-between the ridges that are there for the telescoping luggage pull. Keeps all clothing clean.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

So smart! Thanks!!

[@susantosi695]

Thats a good place to hide stuff too…huh…like from thieves.

[@melodymills5432]

love seeing your You-tube award in the background. One hack I use all the time that I believe I got off your channel is to use a binder clip on my razor. I even use it when I go to the gym. Less dangerous. I finally get to fly in two weeks and simply can't wait. Have a glorious day Laurie.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yay!! Thank you! Have fun.

[@kathiefish6577]

I have made valet tray in several sizes. I use left over fabric so they can be washed after use.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Ooh, yes, so smart!

[@mistywhite9023]

Your son in your picture cracks me up. We packed 4 outfits for 2 people in a single carry on suitcase. TSA was more concerned with my sons ashes than any liquid or food. Pack something big of decent size so you can bring back something. Keep backing light and heavy stuff on wheels. We had a female pilot. My daughter was intrigued.

[@doreyduncan6266]

Thank you for your suggestions, sending hugs and prayers for you, so sorry about your son.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I can't believe in this generation that he does not like getting his pic taken lol. I am sending you big hugs of comfort. No words. Thank you for commenting.

[@lindamirarchi8535]

Great tips as always Laurie. We visited France in October & I packed my shoes separately. Big space saver! I don't know why I never did that before. Thanks for sharing your hacks. (BTW- if anyone is transferring from an international to domestic flight thru Detroit be aware. After clearing customs, you must exit & re-enter the airport & go through security. I had to toss the water I purchased at Charles de Gaulle airport. So if you purchased liquids over 3oz (soda, perfume, liquor) at the international airport you must put them in your suitcase & check your suitcase.

[@corriepitt7630]

Food too! Ditch the fresh fruit you may have brought on board the plane at your country of origin of travel. Buy another banana in your destination airport if you’re that hungry. At any rate, it’s a good idea to ask (or google) about food coming into the destination country, before departure.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh I'm so happy you got to go! Was it beautiful? Were they pretty open for business? Thanks!

[@jagodaperich-anderson5058]

Same thing just happened to us in Atlanta coming back from Ecuador. Had to ditch the water after clearing customs and go through TSA check for our domestic connection flight. I suspect this is becoming more common and not only city specific.

[@annaallred6845]

As far as baggies to be used as compression bags- I’ve found that those zip bags that tops, etc come in from Amazon works great!

[@gapeach51170]

I am flying for the first time since I was 10 years old this March , I am nervous but feel more prepared after finding your channel. :)

[@lauriezuckerman4234]

Love your tips Laurie! So thank you; I am not as hesitant to use a carry on now. For eye makeup removal, I like Lid Care wipes, individually wrapped & take up very little space, & not a liquid

Yes! Good one.

Love, Love that shirt!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

[@scoutyd1885]

My two travel hacks to share: Shoes--place disposable blue shoe covers (can be re-used) over your shoes, then place a disposable shower cap (can also be re-used) inside the shoes to pack socks, underwear, etc. Water bottle--save a sturdy disposable drink bottle with a wider mouth, remove the labels, clean it out, and use for your trip. If you forget it somewhere, or choose to ditch it, no worries. I've even brought a cloth & soap to wash it during our trip.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Smart tips!

[@adotgallagher]

That’s such a good tip! I’ve heard about packing underwear and socks inside shoes but yuck. I never thought of this 🤦‍♀️

[@stevebartley628]

For washing, use the TWO GALLON Ziplock bag

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yes! My mom has some I can use. Thanks!

[@maclorelei]

Also bring a very small flashlight, so as not to wake other passengers when looking in my carry on ...red-eye flights.

Tennis ball for circulation works well and it's small. Stuff it in a sock and throw it behind you for back massages. roll it around on your feet, legs, neck...where ever. You can even sit on it to ease sciatic nerve. skip the clunky foot swing and the beachball.

I just got notification of my PreCheck approval on Friday (the lady said it could technically take up to 60 days, but mine was approved within just a few hours), but I think I'm still going to pack my liquids in a liquids bag, at least when flying home, in case the one airport makes me go through regular security unexpectedly. It'll be interesting to see how the PreCheck line wait time compares to the regular security line's wheelchair lane (that was actually the point of contention for 4 years - which one would ultimately be faster).

[@sheillaallen2538]

I have really enjoyed precheck since I got it. I still put my liquid in a bag just in case.

About the mug: I carry a Stanley cook mug (lidded) and an electric immersion coil so I can cook freeze dried meals, instant oatmeal, etc. in my hotel.

Your videos are so informative! I have a question about purses, not about packing. I’ll be going to London, Paris and Rome. Should I use a medium/large size crossbody to store purchases as we’re walking around or just a small crossbody? It seems weird to walk around with shopping bags.

[@lynnbrady4193]

I always take a pliable canvas bag (like a grocery store bag) for shopping. Even if you don’t buy anything, you can carry your water bottle, umbrella, poncho, etc. all together. That big crossbody bag will start to weigh heavily on your shoulder and neck after a while.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

[@nancysmith2383]

Great tips as always Laurie. I put all my sanitizer and wipes in one of those stand up clear liquids bags from Amazon. Do they have to be loose in tsa bin?

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

Not entirely sure what the antecedent of "they" is in this case. If it's referring to the liquids themselves, the only liquid that has to be loose in the bin is if you bring a hand sanitizer that's bigger than 3.4 oz - that has to be separated, but all other liquids can be together in the liquids bag. If you're referring to the liquids bag itself, if going through regular security, the liquids bag has to be pulled out and put in the grey bin.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi Nancy. The TSA wants the bottle of sanitizer all by itself in the gray bin if it's larger than the 3.4 oz size.

I'd love to know your favorite reusable aluminum water bottle, I recently purchased the Coldest Water bottle but the taste of the aluminum really bothers me and I find myself not reaching for it. I wish these tasted as neutral as plastic water bottles. I favorite hack Is that I always travel with a small collapse able cup. It takes up very little space and I can grab a cup of water anywhere. Even the Airline attendants do not mind filing it up where as if you have a water bottle they sometimes frown at you. Thank you for the great tips.

Yes, take it! I do not like reusable bottles; they all seem to have a taste to me. Hubby flies and uses daily this humongous one because the lid thing does not flap back on your nose:bit.ly/3jQ6OOI

Collapsable cups are handy for drinking from fountains, for when you need to rinse your mouth in a public restroom, for taking medicine, for when you just want a little bit to drink. I have a small size Hydroflask which does not have a taste. I only use it for water and occasionaly rinse out with baking soda to keep it fresh. Due to medical issues which lead to dehydration I must carry water when I travel so I got a doctor's note to verify this. It is my understanding that it is up to the TSA agent to accept this.
