In the bottom of my bag I also carry a compression bag with a couple shirts & underclothes in case of travel delays or lost luggage. A set of headphones/earphones for in-flight entertainment. Ginger candies for upset tummy and some sort of goodie to eat on the plane. An empty water bottle to fill once you are past TSA because hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Also, a Turkish towel is handy as a blanket, to sit on if there is not enough seating in your gate area or if you have a little with you and need a designated picnic/play area for them.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great list of essentials for a flight!

[@SashaCoCo]

You're precious and so blessed to travel internationally! Stay safe and enjoy fun adventures!

[@alwaysabob8962]

Love those cards

[@ngoctramhuynh4398]

The eyesglasses cleaning tool is nice. Thank you for sharing your travel tips.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for watching!

[@valoisbunch9202]

I’m so glad I found your channel. You’ve taught me so much!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I'm so glad!

[@kenbrown2808]

my 4 essentials for air travel are: my kindle. a packaged snack (usually a granola bar) my passport in a passport book paper copies of any documentation. I think from now on, we will pack all our electronics in the same case as medications, and our other carryon stuff in the other bag, so if we do have to check a bag at boarding, we can check the other bag, and because of the lithium batteries in the bag with the medication, it can't be checked.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

True-great points. I have a ton more essentials too.

[@DreaLS]

I love how you and I literally have the same backpack that I use as my carryon 😂 feel like it makes it easier

[@Gevedon]

Awesome! Thanks Laurie! 😀

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Any time!

[@nativetexan6628]

Yes! I love those wallets, but it's very difficult to get those cards out!

[@TheSofres]

I just came back from my 18day UK trip. I got a bag like yours but even empty it feels like 5lbs. I barely put anything in and if weighed it down. I don’t know if it’s more padded than yours? It did fit under the seat in front of me but on the way home I used a purse I bought from the store and packed this bag in my large suitcase. I also over packed on wipes and other things I just didn’t use. So I learned the hard way about “just in case” but my adhd brain wouldn’t settle. lol. I also had to buy 2 new suitcases there that had round ball like wheels because going thorough streets with those single wheel (4 caster wheels) was horrible. I think my best purchase was the alcohol wipes and a resealable silicone bag. I would wipe things down and didn’t have the residue like Lysol wipes have.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi! So glad you enjoyed being in the UK! Are you talking about the backpack? We just got back from a river cruise, and those cobblestone roads are tough! My suitcase is Level8.

[@TheSofres]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie yes the backpack. I liked the way it opens at the top but mine is too cushioned. I just got it off Amazon.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

@@TheSofres Yep, I got mine on Amazon too. Mine is the 15.6 version. Hope you find something wonderful!

[@anita9967]

I pack my adapter... sometimes those outlets on the plane are worn from use and your US plug won't stay in...use your adapter with the European plug to plug it in...gives a snug fit and then plug your phone or tablet charger into that!

[@susanwexler6983]

Make sure your medicines are in your travel bag.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, if your suitcase gets lost, having the essential medicine in your personal item or carry-on bag is so helpful!

[@EmilyJaneBenitez]

Your bag is so cute

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks! 17 pockets

[@sunsetrescue7112]

It DOES MATTER IF ITS RFID. I had my card skimmed a few weeks ago and I was in a T.J Max in a small town when it happened . So PLEASE FOLKS.. make sure your wallets are RFID PROTECTED ❤❤❤❤

[@misssagacious]

YES! I had mine scanned at the airport!

[@mercyp7151]

Whoa. That's awful. Thanks for reminding me. Did you get everything back or sorted out?

[@marilynb8704]

I use RFID sleeves instead of RFID wallet, etc

[@Lauraics]

I’ve never seen that glasses thing

[@ruthtorphy2204]

Will never carry a wallet after leaving it on a counter on my travels. Of course that was the last I seen of it.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh wow, that would be a travel nightmare.

[@alagendhi]

i thought i was the only one that had disposable peeps (or how you call it)

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

They have worked pretty good for me; a couple have broken but you get so many in a pack. The real Peeps are still my favorite.

[@piplux3805]

❤ and....where did u get ur top? It is so cute on you.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, it's Loft. We cannot put links in the vertical videos, but you can find all my outfits etc on LTK app-it's free.

[@kavika121]

You’re a boss!

[@Ksp131313]

Alcohol prep wipes like for medical purposes work great for cleanimg lotion off your glasses! (So much cheaper than eyeglasses wipes)

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes that's a great option. We take Lens Wipes if we will use sunscreen on sunglasses for also our phone screen.

[@angelacorrea290]

TY

[@eddiemaxwell6949]

I play Solitaire on my tablet

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yes! I forgot they have that.

[@Oceangirl1234]

I would feel too guilty checking those plastic thingies in the trash for eyeglasses.

Where did you find the cards?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, Amazon.

[@dianne3406]

[@jewel88846]

I saw that playing cards are illegal in Thailand......

[@tissiereeves4953]

I love your videos. You're just adorable.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

You are so kind!

[@FLPeach00]

So….I’m new….is my backpack considered a carryon, and my cross body my personal item? Or are they both ‘personal’ items? I’ll also be checking a bag for my Alaska cruise in September.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, and welcome. Google your airline's carry-on requirements. Usually it is a carry-on (suitcase size) and a personal item. So your backpack and purse is totally fine.

[@FLPeaches]

Thank you ssoo much! I love your videos and am much more confident about my flights thanks to you. 😊

[@olgaazor-dh6cj]

I'm a Travel Agent and have been traveling since forever. I still learn something new every time I listen to your videos. They're fantastic! Thx so much! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Thanks so much Olga! @@olgaazor-dh6cj

[@nicholeanderson7099]

I recommend learning to play hand solitaire - then you don’t need a table at all.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Now that is one I have not heard before. Will look it up.

[@mireilledionne218]

Hi Laurie, Where did you get those cards?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi I cannot put the links in vertical videos anymore 😡 They were on Amazon and air deck I think.

[@geoff1971]

I also pack a puzzle book (crosswords, Suduku) and 2 pens.

[@JustMeB729]

So I guess spray bottles of your favorite perfume is out????

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Nope you are allowed to pack them.

[@JustMeB729]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie So they won't pitch my bath and body in my carry on...Good to know. Thank you. Laurie, by the way. What are peeps?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

As long as sprays are in a container that is 3.4 ounces or smaller, they are allowed in the liquids bag for carry-on travel. Peeps are eye glass cleaners: amzn.to/3tWlrK1 but there are knock offs which work okay: amzn.to/47eAc9p @@JustMeB729

Just saw that this was a vertical video-links do not work.@@JustMeB729

Hi Laurie, I love your videos, just saw your personal item bag, which looks awesome. Where did you get it? Do you have any Info on it? Thanks Rose

I don't need someone on You Tube telling me how to pack. People on this media must think everyone is a moron.

And yet your comment helps move my videos to the top of the list 😂🙏
