Just so you know TSA has trained passenger support specialists. If you are feeling uncomfortable or are confused you can ask for a passenger support specialist and they will help you through the entire process. TSA will also make accommodations if you have a disability. For example, you can have a private screening done instead. Good Luck!

[@ashleighortiz406]

YES. for carry on, we pack that but roll up a small thin duffel for a “personal” for the flight back.

[@mannerspleasecaninetrainin1007]

I am taking multiple flights on my next vacation and one mistake you can avoid is packing for the weight and size requirements of the carrier that has the SMALLEST AND LIGHTEST restrictions. Ex. I'm flying to Ireland on Delta but then continuing on to Venice on Ryanair. Ryanair has smaller restrictions size and weight wise. If I max out with Delta I will be overweight and oversized on Ryanair.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, it is about enough to make me not want to pack for that. All of my personal item bags can fit under 50 seaters. It's so frustrating.

[@bettysims9284]

I have a couple of tips that I have never seen on a travel tips video. 1. Pack old socks, underwater, and PJs. Throw them away on the trip after you wear them or donate if it’s a poor country. No dirty socks in your suitcase and more room when you travel home. 2. When staying in a hotel that offers a breakfast buffet, pack old Tupperware containers and ziplocks. Pack your lunch at breakfast. Eat while traveling in the bus/car. You will have more time to sight see and save $$$. Most European countries don’t have mayo so pack a few small packets if you like that on your sandwich. You can also use the hotel shower cap to wrap up food if you don’t have a container. I usually pack a lunch of exotic cheeses, French bread, dried fruit, and nuts. Ooh La La! 3. Bring a laundry detergent BAR of soap and wash out your clothes yourself. Bring quick dry clothes. Wear your clothes more often and pack less. 4. Put a rubber band around the inside of your passport. Fold visas and slip under the band so you don’t lose them. 5. Cary a ziplock bag of Clorox wipes on the plane to clean your area around your seat.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for sharing, Betty. I hope you get to watch more of my videos.

[@juanmonge8]

You sound like me. I always travel with a bar of Castile soap. I can wash myself, my hair and my clothes. I bring polyester golf shirts- with pockets. Wash in shower. They will dry wrinkle free. You can roll them and put rubber bands around them. I also bring 2 wire hangers. Throw them away, with old shirts and socks at end of trip.

[@cecezisty]

I am from a poor country, please don’t donate your dirty socks to us.

One of my favorite tips for the TSA line (particularly for the guys) ... Put an empty ziploc bag in an outside pocket that's easy to get to. While you're standing in line for security, go ahead and empty your pockets and take off your watch, and put it all in this bag and then slip it into your carry on. Don't wait until you're in the front of the line to get one of those little round bins and start emptying your pockets. I don't know how many times I've seen one of those little bins get bumped by a larger bag and the contents get dumped.

Another thing to think about. If you plan on buying a t-shirt wherever you are going, you could pack 1 less and then wear the one you purchase. Save room in luggage on your way and have room to carry it back. As usual love all your tips!

[@damitdaina]

I do buy a few shirts to wear while on the trip....but I do pack about shorts or pants for every day.

[@belindamohar]

I do not pack any liquids that I can get at my destination, then I stop at the drug store or Walmart and buy the travel size of the things I need. Less to pack there and back. Every trip I take I see what I didn't wear and the next trip I pack that many less. If I packed 4 shirts and I only wore 3 then I only pack 3 next trip.I have gone from a 21" carry on to an under the seat bag. My goal is to fit everything into a back pack.

Stay at the hotels that give out free stuff like tooth brushs, paste, shampoo etc. If they don't give it out, ask them to check in their lost and found for other things like toe clippers, hats, reading glasses, phone chargers, and phone cord country travel adapters. That way you don't have to pack it. If staying within country, flat rate mail dirty clothes sovienures etc home for anywhere between $7-30.

As a reformed over-packer, I have learned to pack less and less. And how I became 'reformed' is because one time on a flight home from Europe I was charged something like 24 Euro for 1-2 kilos overweight. There was another time when I went to Vegas and I brought so much stuff in a huge suitcase for only 4 days. I was travelling alone and it was awkward to carry all that stuff. Please don't take it the wrong way when I say that perhaps your daughter needs to learn the hard (expensive) way to not pack so much.

Here's my favorite travel hack. When you go to the airport, wear a comfy jacket or sweater and a neutral color blanket scarf. Use the scarf as a privacy hood over your head for when you are sleeping and don't want people to see you snoring, mouth agape. Use scarf as a robe for chilly hotel rooms. I have a gauze material one and I use it as a swimsuit cover up as well. Use as a shawl for dressy evenings. Dress up casual outfits by wearing it as a scarf. In a pinch, I've used it as a beach blanket to sit on at the ocean or at a festival. It is my must-have item for all trips.

Ooh that's so smart! What color is the scarf?

[@michellelabelle3048]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie the scarf is medium grey. Neutal. Matches everything I pack.

[@ShefortheJeeps]

Where do you get that from?

[@nuvoclassic]

I use 2 sarongs - the 'Swiss Army Knife' of accessories - wear one or tie it on handle + pack one.... I also use a bandana.

I swear it rolled its eyes when she mentioned people packing an outfit for each day. Cats are so over people. That was hilarious!!!!

[@antaeusgates1064]

I watched the cat most of this Video

[@IMOO1896]

Packing list! Yes, very important.

[@tammaratiffany272]

My list is on my phone. Has been for years. I have one for traveling to my folks in MI, one for cruises, one for my “usual” travel. Then I take photos of outfits just in case my luggage gets separated and goes missing.

This was amazing, thanks! Regarding TSA lines, your tips are so so so needed! As a frequent traveler I'm glad you mentioned getting ready BEFORE you are at the conveyor belt. Make sure your laptop and liquids are on top or easy access from your carryon before heading to security. Also, make sure your stuff starts to go through the conveyor before getting in the line to the body machines (be aware that oftentimes a person in front of you probably forgot to take off their watch or bracelet or mobile phone or something and will need to grab a small bowl and push it through before your bags). The unwritten rule on the other side of the conveyor is that once your stuff comes through then slide everything away toward the end to give yourself room to put things back on and so that the next person can retreive their things and then slide towards you. If you have a lot of stuff to put back on don't do it right where the bags come out because that causes a bottleneck. While in line, I am emptying my pockets putting my mobile phones, wallet, keys, change, etc into my carryon pockets. While in line I always pat myself down a couple of times to make sure I'm not forgetting anything like a pen or a watch or my belt or something that I don't have a specific purpose for while going through TSA. Before you leave to go to the airport, briefly look at your outfit. Did you put on the shirt with attached metal ornaments? Are you wearing that huge metal bracelet/watch/necklace? Everyone at some point accidentally wears a TSA-unfriendly outfit, so before you leave you can easily either put some items in the bags or change up the outfit to be less metalic. Like you said, untie/unzip shoes while in line, so easy to slip off. (Personally I would say to avoid wearing flip flops because that is just disgusting walking around barefoot in TSA, but if that is your thing and I know it is for many because I always see it then you do you). I'm Pre-TSA and I always take off my belt while waiting in line and roll it up and put it in my carryon pockets. Yes it is not required for Pre-TSA but if it has too much metal and sets off the alarm then that takes up everyone's time. Just as easy for me to take it off and put it back on the other side. There are almost always benches or tables or something where you can re-dress. Also, another tip. Be polite/professional with TSA. Unless you are getting a 5am flight, the TSA agents have had loads of people already come through the lines before your party. They have to do certain things and have to use their judgement quickly. Every two minutes some TSA person has to announce loundly to everyone to use one bin per laptop, to take off shoes, to empty everything even paper out of pockets, etc. I would be cranky too after 4 hours listening to that while having to keep my security scrutiny about me. I don't know how long for the mask requirement, but right now the TSA agent will at some point ask you to "lower your mask" so s/he can compare your ID with your face. So be ready for that part of the interaction when it is your turn. Watch what they are doing with the passengers ahead of you (sometimes they want to handle your boarding pass, sometimes they want you to scan the boarding pass, sometimes they want you to scan your ID). There are basically two things they want to see (ID and boarding pass) and almost always they want to handle at least one of them, sometimes the other item can just be scanned so watch and listen. Avoid, if possible, putting any light/small items "loose" onto the conveyor unless you are putting it closely between two of your large items. My wife put her hat on the conveyor at the last second once and it never came out on the other side and the security people looked at her like she was crazy wondering where it was, so we had to head to our gate without it. Oh and while I'm thinking of it, if you are putting your phones/electronics/wallets etc in their own bins then put them on the conveyor before your bigger bags because if your bigger bag gets pulled off to the side for more searching then you will already have your electonics in your possession again since it will have come out first anyway.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for these! Hope you have more flights this year.

[@barbequesausee]

bro- u just made a whole college essay abt travel tips :/

[@jasminflower3814]

Thank you for your tips Sir I don't want to lose my hat either, that was awful.

The one statement that should be included in every TSA Video. Empty your shirt and pants pockets, “before” you come to a Screening Checkpoint. “Everything” you normally carry in your shirt and pants pockets, should be placed inside your carry-on bag. Wallets, Keys, Coins, Ear-buds, Chapstick, Photo I.D.’s, Phones, Boarding Pass, and Passports, should be placed inside a carry-on bag. “Never” place anything you can hold in your hand, inside a screening bin. Fewer items placed in bins, means faster screening for everyone! You can put things back
