Laurie, I lost my beloved dog three days ago. I turned to your videos for comfort. It's been so hard for me but watching your videos somehow made me feel better.

I like to take a zippered U-Shaped pillow case (designed for travel pillow) and instead stuff it with a sweater or puffy jacket. This counts as a pillow, so doesn’t need to be placed in suitcase. And, I use it as a soft squishy pillow during flight

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great idea! I did not realize you can take it along with your other bags.

[@gingereaves4097]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I did that, too, and it counted as a pillow and not an extra bag.

One of my mistakes was wearing a new black tee shirt and it attracted so much lint . Now I make sure to wear my outfits before my trip to test them out.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yes, wear it before the airport. Thanks for sharing!

OK, Laurie, we are back travelling. Just returned from Japan and Singapore. Looking at your videos again, I had forgotten how encouraging and bright you are. I could listen to your videos just to hear your voice and humour. You are a very seasoned traveller, but your humility and empathy constantly shine through. Everyone loves an expert who is learning and wants to learn from her audience. You fit that description exactly. Love it. Thanks for doing this - I am a man, so the examples work less well, but the ideas work perfectly and have meant that I could pick up a few pieces which will perform better than what I had. There are a couple of trousers that owe you their existence in my travel rotation!! Love what you do and, most importantly, HOW you do it. Thanks for all your efforts, and I wish you all the success possible. See you again in another video. So glad I am subbed!!

I'm becoming a huge fan of solid coloured separates. And I've found short sleeved merino such a great option. Im 54.. I wear leggings with an above knee skirt as a comfy yet flattering style. My black skechers work well with a black legging/skirt combo.. I agree.. a scarf or necklace elevates the whole look. thanks for your ideas.. and thanks for getting to the point so quickly!

I love the 2 piece outfits for the airport. Definitely not a jumpsuit lol. Happy travels!

I can vouch for those Duluth Trading water repellent hiking pants being truly water repellent. I once spilled a cup of soda on them and the liquid just beaded up and rolled off the pants! These are great travel pants for hiking or a casual look.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

They are sooo comfortable too! I can't wait.

[@kathleenkalt3852]

Based on your tips just trial packed for a 2 week tour of Edinburgh, London and Paris. My husband and I used your recommended compression cubes. Wow. I have space left to maybe buy some perfume in Paris. I'm traveling out of Orlando. It's often hot in the airport so I'm planning to wear a black camisole with a shelf bra, a long cardigan to have for the plane, some lightweight black pants and my sturdy black "teacher" shoes. My carryon will have a down jacket stuffed into its pocket. I've had too many freezing overnight flights to Europe. I also bought a pair of Duluth Trading pants that can tolerate the rain. I look forward to finally using all of the Travel Tips by Laurie. Thanks a lot.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Wow, a hot airport?? Ha ha. It is so tricky packing for extreme weathers. Your airport outfit sounds perfect for the airplane. You will love those Duluth Trading pants. I wish we had a store near us. Have fun!

[@janiceross5134]

Hi Laurie, I travel about monthly, not always exotic locations. Through the years I have honed my travel outfits and essentials so that packing is simpler. As soon as I return from a trip, I replace, refill, launder certain items and pre pack them for my next trip. I keep a spreadsheet for different types of trips (Disney, Cruises, Business, long flights) so that I know what worked best the last trip. Thanks for your videos.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That would be so helpful!

[@catcy90]

I like to go monochromatic on planes, with a light cardigan as the contrast color. I always take my lightest pashmina-style wrap as my blanket/pillow/scarf. When we visit family in Greece, the weather is just slightly cooler than Arizona but more humid, so no jeans for me. I like golf skorts as my summer vacay wear. They are easy, cute, and look more formal than shorts. They pair nicely with tshirts and polo shirts. My latest find is from Eileen Fisher in tencel fabric. No wrinkles and they are soooo soft! Thanks for everything Laurie!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

TENCEL! Yes, I love her stuff. Sometimes it goes on sale at Nordstrom Rack. Ahhh can you believe you go to Greece??

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

My last flight day, 5 1/2 weeks ago, I wore stretchy synthetic black cargo capris that I've had for years, a v-neck T-shirt, quarter socks, sandals (can wear them for anything from hosing off the driveway to a wedding, so didn't need any other shoes that trip), and a full zip lightweight hoodie. But the capris weren't breathable enough (all 4 airports were really hot inside), so this time (next Monday) I'm going to wear navy cargo joggers (I do love me those cargo pockets) in a cotton blend knit, either a v-neck or shortsleeve button-down (still haven't decided which - v-neck is cooler but button-down gives me a pocket for my boarding passes), quarter socks, and sneakers, with the same lightweight hoodie. This trip is a bit different in that, since the zipper on my 19" needs repair, and one more flight being manhandled (or one more time bouncing down the baggage claim chute at MSP) will break the legs off my 23" (they're already cracked from getting manhandled 5 years ago; plus, it's too big to fit on the front of my wheelchair), I'm using my 17" suitcase that I got as a gift when I was 6 (those 3 are my only suitcases - I don't own a standard carryon size one, because I can fit everything I need into the 19"). So instead of packing everything I would normally bring, I'm only packing what I either need en route, or can't buy/order and have shipped there; but it works out, though, because several of those things are things I already wished I had a second one of (or multiples of, in the case of socks) anyway, that I could leave at my parents' house (or that will be replacing things that I already keep there). Hopefully this will be the only trip where I have no choice but to take my tiny suitcase, since the plan is to repair the 19" at Christmas, and I'm fine with the 19" going on a road trip (Christmas is always a road trip for me) in its current state of disrepair (since I can control what happens to it the entire time), just not flying. So it'll be just my 17" suitcase and 20L backpack for 3 1/2 weeks. I've already packed up literally everything I'll be taking once already, so I already know it will fit into those, and that those will fit on my chair (the suitcase is just barely big enough to span the width between my luggage forks, so the luggage strap will be actually holding it on, not merely holding it still like it was with my 19" last month). My regular laptop is in the shop getting a hinge repaired and won't be ready before I leave, so I'll have to take my backup one with me instead, which is significantly heavier and thicker (elitebook 2540p vs. pavillion 13), but it should still fit just fine in my backpack.

Great tips as always. We are finally leaving for our big trip out west on Wednesday. I have been pretend packing for a few weeks now. I can't wait to impress my husband with only taking carry on's for 18 days !!! He still can't believe I can do it. Thanks for all your tips and tricks. I just bought a few more contact lens cases yesterday to make my TSA bag lighter too, I was able to put in 3 weeks of foundation and others creams that I use on a daily bases.

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

18 days in a carryon - I 100% believe it, and soon your husband will, too😉: last Christmas, I was able to pack everything for 4 weeks except my pillow (I have a very finicky neck, so I have to use a very particular pillow), medical stuff (for longer trips (>2 1/2 weeks), those already always get packed in a separate bag that doesn't count as carryon allowance), and knee-high Muck boots in my 19" carryon and 20L backpack, and I still only did laundry once a week (which is how often I normally do it anyway, even when on a long road trip like I went on last fall (3 1/2 weeks on the road, combo of hotels, camping, and staying with friends/family) - all my clothes fit in one load), while still having all the layers I needed. I now no longer have to bring the pillow back and forth (got a second one to leave at my parents' house), and I could forego the Muck boots if I needed to (which is saying something for a MN winter, but I prefer wearing hiking boots rather than Muck boots for the driving days on a winter road trip, and my Muck boots need to be resealed on the sole in a couple places anyway, so it's not like I would be playing in the snow, so no real need for snow boots - good waterproof hiking boots and warm wool socks are enough for me). On another note, I live less than 3 hrs from Grand Teton NP (makes for an easy day trip, though I haven't been since June last year), so your mention of "out west" has me intrigued.

[@AnneMB955]

The cashmere tops look perfect. Going from Spring Australia 🇦🇺 to Autumn Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so need layering. Could put a shirt underneath for a different look. Thermals if needed, jacket and scarf over the top. Your joggers with fitted ankles would be perfect for me. Great ideas Laurie.

My normal airport outfit is a cute shirt (normally one with a cute design on it), jeans or leggings, compression socks, and tennis shoes. I’ve never worn shorts in the airport because I’m wearing compression socks and I think it would look dumb to have knee compression socks with shorts (that and any time I’ve flown it’s been in the fall or winter)

I'm doing a Quebec to Ft Lauderdale cruise near the end of October, and packing light is going to be a challenge. We are anticipating temperatures from 31 - 90, so all the layering ideas was helpful.

[@labtechsuperstar]

For traveling, for me, two things are essential: comfortable/stretchy and layers. For fall/winter a packable puffer jacket is great. When it's packed up into its bag, it can double as a lumbar support. I had travelled last month and it was so hot, but a very light sweater was handy - it gave sun protection and was a suitable covering to go into churches/the Vatican.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

What?!!! You got to visit Italy?! So happy for you!

[@karenwright4890]

I have herniated discs in my back and absolutely must use a lumbar roll when I am on a plane for hours at a time. Most lumbar rolls that you buy for back support have a zipper and have a foam core. I take the foam core out when I am traveling and put some of my, sweaters or softer items that don’t wrinkle too easily in there. I actually clip it onto my waist as a health device. I’ve done this a couple times and have not been stopped yet and told to put it in my carry-on just an idea for those who take a lumbar roll on planes.

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Great memory! Yes, that was me. I got the Duluth Noga pants (might wear on plane), but haven't checked out the slick ones. That's on my list now, too. :) Thanks for your great tips!

Hi Laurie, thank you for all your tips. my husband and I going to Vegas in September. All of your travel videos with been very helpful for me to be able to pack in a carry-on suitcase.

You are so welcome! Have a great time in Vegas.

This video was so helpful. I will be traveling to three countries in Europe this summer and am looking for a better wardrobe that will all fit in a carry-on. I really love all your suggestions.❤

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi, travel outfit inspiration is so fun for me!

[@giselesmith7795]

MIght I add the Noga Naturale slim leg pants by Duluth Trading Company as a great travel pair of pants? They have a comfortable stretchy waist, front and back pockets, and they don't sag or bag and no panty lines! I love your tips Laurie, they saved me lots of grief on my vacay.

Hi Laurie! I just found you and so glad. Traveling to NYC next month. Not a long flight but still a lot to keep up with between me, my son & husband. this helped a lot!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I hope we can see the beautiful water and that it's not too cloudy.

First off, thanks for more good info and your tee shirts are adorable! Taking off tomorrow for a Viking Rhine River cruise. We'll be starting in Basel, Switzerland and finishing in Amsterdam and The Hauge. In between is Germany and France. When I started my purchases and packing list, the temps were in the 90s. Now the weather forecast is 70s and rain... Like pretty much every day. Did I purchase waterproof shoes? No! I do have a raincoat and small umbrella. I'll be taking extra shoes so I can change for the next day. Hopefully this plan works. Airport outfit plan is to wear my black stretchy jeans and a dressy t shirt with my black cardigan. Still debating on wearing/taking my cute white lace up Keds that are in fashion to wear with a couple of dresses. Walking tours are usually less than 3 hours. I know comfort over fashion... Ugh! I have two pair of Skechers a black and a white pair since the majority of my clothing is white and black. First European trip for me as an adult. Hoping my choices work for this trip! Praying for no delays or lost luggage. The upside is that the rain is allowing us to stay on the ship and not have to ship swap or bus to destinations. Grateful for that.

[@tamelafreeman6139]

Get some waterproof spray and spray those shoes! We buy it in the camping section of our local Walmart. It works well and doesn’t hurt my shoes at all. I’m heading to Europe for a Rhine river cruise in 3 weeks also. Can’t wait!

[@deannajohnson7816]

I’m going on the same Viking Rhine trip at the end of Sept. I’ve been watching Laurie’s videos for months, and picking up travel gadgets and things she recommends. I’m excited, but nervous about water levels. Good luck on your trip. I wish you air travel with no hiccups.

@@tamelafreeman6139 I read about doing that but worried because they said it then caused your foot wear to be hot because then it's no longer breathable. Tough choice

@@debbiefluegeman3189 I haven’t noticed it being an issue for me. I absolutely HATE wet feet so it’s worth it IMO. Maybe just do one pair and try to wear those in the rain?

Thank you for your helpful videos. I'd love to see a winter packing tips video. How to pack the bulky warm things in a carry-on suitcase.

[@nuvoclassic]

Fyi, recently, since I discovered merino wool and cashmere wool, i don't need the bulky items for warmth. I saved up or bought on sale because they're not cheap. Merino socks, merino tee shirt, silk Longjohns, silk long-sleeved shirt, cashmere cardigan Plus DIY crocheted beanie/hat, pashmina shawl and cashmere lined leather gloves all combine to keep me warm. I'm from Chicago - but I hate to be cold!

Hi Laurie! Love your videos. I have been following you for a few years. I haven't had a vacation for over 4 years, but it looks like I finally will get one. Maybe even 2. I am very excited. My trip to Europe kept getting rescheduled due to COVID. But with your packing guidelines, I think I will really be able to pack lite and still enjoy myself. Thank you so much for all of the advice you provide to us.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That is awesome!

[@laurieharrison-petit9195]

Hi Laurie, it’s strange typing my name to someone else. But, it is a great name. I love your videos, they’ve given me some good ideas. I’m flying to North Carolina from Killeen TX for my Mom’s 90th birthday in November! 🎉 I haven’t flown in 20 years, so this will be interesting.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yay! What a fun accomplishment you will make! I have one called You Get to Pack Again and the basic tsa rules too.

[@elizabethsteele1785]

If you’re coming to Canada in the winter, consider that Wisconsin is further north than many places in Ontario, Canada. The weather is similar to upstate NY or Michigan. In the summer it can be very hot!! Depending on where you are travelling to, the weather varies, so do your research. Our climate is not like ICELAND!!! Iceland’s average temperature is 12C (if I’m not mistaken). In July in Ontario, for eg. It can be 90F. If travelling to British Columbia, the weather is like Seattle. The East coast is different again, especially Newfoundland/Labrador. Do your research so you know.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

This is so helpful!

[@Coffee-Makeup-Stationary]

So I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love your delivery and your content! My husband and I are taking our first flight since 2018. I’m having a bit of anxiety because I’ve only flown a specific airline and we are taking a different one this time and it’s a smaller more regional jet. This freaks me out. Irrational, I know. We are flying carry on only this time because of your videos! I have bought the Ecco soft 7 dark shadow booties. I have an all black outfit ready to go. And we purchased a wonderful backpack with trolly strap by Matein on amazon. Lots of pockets and 60,000+ positive reviews! Now I’m looking for black boots that will be comfy for a plus size girl to trek around in in Boston. Thank you for all you do!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh how exciting! What a beautiful city too. Just be prepared for delays if weather. Could you go to Nordstrom or Macys? Nordstrom has free shipping. rstyle.me/cz-n/gts3rvckgqp and there is also an Easy Spirit they have too.

Love all these ideas!! Sams club has their Members Mark “Ladies Travel Jogger”. I got a pair in black and just wore them for my recent trip which included a flight. They are kind of a stretchy, slinky material that is super comfy and doesn’t hug too tight to the skin. They don’t wrinkle easily either. Perfect for travel, I wore them multiple times on my trip (including going hiking). Thank you for all your tips Laurie! Love your channel.

[@nuvoclassic]

Love your tips. I used to be a heavy over packer. I would pack 3-5 outfits for every day! But I'm too old now to lug all that stuff! Nowadays, I only travel in summer/warm weather. Mostly road trips - but I still try to pack light. It's working! When I plan my travel wardrobe, first I check the weather and decide my activities [which rarely change - travel days, sightseeing, slouch/lounge, swim, sup/meals, sleep.] Then I focus on these thoughts: what can I wear that are pajamas? as comfy as pajamas? What can i wear for swimming? Swim coverup? How many items can I wear and not pack that function as: pajamas, swimwear, or swim coverups. Finally, I ALWAYS pack bronze metallic thong sandals, black velvet ballet slippers [for hotel lobby breakfast], thin tee shirt. I ALWAYS tie my fave knit cotton cardigan around waist. I ALWAYS wear or tie a large sarong/pashmina on suitcase handle. I ALWAYS tie a bandana on wrist or wear as headband. I also reduced my toiletries in quart size 3-1-1 bag in half! Hope this helps someone.
