Great travel hack!

[@vickenator]

These are terrific tips. You may have mentioned this already but always throw in your crossbody/carryon one of those little packable nylon grocery bags that fold to the size of like a deck of cards, so if you have to suddenly gate check your carryon suitcase, you can quickly stuff that little nylon grocery bag with anything in your suitcase you don't want away from you in the belly of the beast (medications, spare set of clothes, etc).

Yes but only pack what you will need during the flight.

[@jow.2450]

I debated buying the seat/tray cover. It’s a fantastic idea. Last minute I bought a slim seat travel pouch. Throw some essentials in there. You can put it in the seat pocket. I had room to keep it next to me. Turned out it was good I had it. Way home I was next to a mom with 2 young young kids. I’m normally extremely helpful, but I wasn’t too keen on the situation. Few deceitful things. I kept quiet, but I couldn’t access my tray table bc the lap baby’s head was blocking it. (Head or feet were in my lap the entire time.). I could get to my essentials bc I had this slim pouch next to me. Just another idea.

Hi! Leaving for London in a few weeks and taking so many of your ideas with! What my pharmacist did for me is print out the sticky bottle labels so I can put it on little baggies with the meds in them. Then pop the meds in their strip when I get to my destination. I pack a 2 day supply in a small bag for the flight. I have those compression bags, courtesy of watching one of the first videos you did, they work great! I tell everyone to watch your tips as they are so good!

You are a great sponsor for them. Their products are useful, they really perform for what they were created and more. Thank you Laurie, for all the useful information you provide us to make our traveling easier and much more comfortable. I try to visit my daughter twice a year if I'm well, it is a very long flight (18hrs 2 legs). Your videos are wonderful. Keep up the good work. Enjoy life!

[@micheleemmerich680]

Lori, love your videos. I wish I could justify the national park packing cubes, I have two sets already from Tripped. A couple of things that I have found useful when traveling, one is the Gravel travel blanket. I am a colder sleeper, this blanket is very warm and very light weight. It has pockets for your feet, a snap that you can snap up around your neck. It also has a zip pocket that is next to your body when your feet are in the pockets. The blanket can also be folded into the pocket for a pillow. When I slept on my flight to Scotland I placed my passport and wallet in the pocket so it is next to my body. Gravel is a small relatively new business. The two gentleman started the company because they couldn’t find a toiletries bag they liked. Medicines for travel, I ordered small pill bottles from Amazon, and asked my pharmacy to print off labels of my prescriptions. Then take only the number of doses for the trip plus two extra doses. The small bottles took up much less room than the one size my pharmacy uses.

[@tcconnection]

Thank you for sharing

I also pack a thin Jammie shirt in my carry on. Just in case!

Thank you Laurie for your great videos and presentation style. We do carry on and take a minimal amount of clothing.

Hey Lori! Thank you for the video. I wanted to say that when I take my prescription pills out of their bottles and put them in little bags or wherever I put them. I always take a picture of the prescription on the bottle with my iPhone. Just in case. It just makes life easier if something happens or if you need to replace them while you’re traveling etCetera.

[@IzzeSmiles]

I did use an airplane tray cover for my long flights to/from Japan, the little hooks work great, I used a small crossbody to hold cards and passport for convenience and suggest the forward sleeping blowup pillow instead of neck pillow because it's a more natural position so your back will not hurt. I did like the travel hanging bag you recommended and used the clear removable section for essentials in my crossbody.. I ended up rolling my clothing, the packing cubes made it too bulky and it was easier to fill in gaps with smaller items. I only brought one pair of shoes that I had to throw out and buy a pair of Hoka in Japan because you walk everywhere and a lot of stairs. Noise canceling headphones and sleep mask a must. Water bottle and snacks in personal item as well. Hand wipes to clean your plane area must bring. I used the eyeglass wipes not the peeps. Agree that you need face/hand lotion, eye drops and lip moisturizer. I did have to put my cross body in my carry on.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Love that toiletry bag with the clear bag.

[@elnamayberry]

Great suggestions! I always pack a spare outfit in a large zip loc and put it in the bottom of my personal bag just in case my carry-on gets checked and is lost or if I spill anything on myself during the flight.

[@bettyparker3317]

That tray cover with the POCKETS is my big must-have. I need my glasses, water, wipes, devices/cords/earbuds, maybe snacks, at hand, and the airplane seat pockets will not hold them. And you can’t really get into your bags easily. I don’t care about the tray cover itself, but the pockets are great.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

The pockets are so reachable too!

[@MindfulMidLifeTravel]

We bought the airplane tray covers, compression cubes, & the neck lanyard wallets & zipper clips for our trip to Portugal in April. So excited!

Thank you for your wonderfully useful tips, Lisa! You’re my favorite travel hack KZbinr.

[@Oxford322]

I’ve been watching your packing videos since 2017 (usually to travel to London for multiple weeks ) my 1st us to uk trip was a nightmare bc I packed a giant suitcase (2 week trip ) that was lost (of course) I ended up having to buy a days worth of clothing in Oxford ( UK) I was so tired of lugging this huge suitcase I donated almost all my clothes to bring back gifts etc) The net summer I found your channel ~ WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I was planning and now am proud to say I have a travel capsule wardrobe I keep near my carry on ( even my travel pro carry on was bc of your recommendation) I’m going to visit my son in NYC in 3weeks so I’m back to ask Laurie what she’d pack You’re the best thing to happen to my traveling . Just thanks ❤

[@jenharvey8360]

I love that tray table cover to organize all my in-flight essentials, if I have a seat in front of me. But I often pay extra to get a bulkhead seat, which means no seat in front and just the tiny magazine rack stapled to the bulkhead. Also, everything has to go in the overhead compartment instead of the floor in front of me. In that case, I find that 3 zipped tablet case you were talking about a year or two ago to be ideal for my in flight comfort essentials and a thin paperback. I move the in flight magazines to the overhead bin to make room for it. Everything else, like snacks, can fit in the pockets of my 17 pocket travel vest. If flying in warm weather, instead of a T shirt, I pack 3 or 4 translucent gauzy tops that slip over top of the tank I wear as part of my in flight outfit. They fold down in no more space than a large silk scarf. That way, I get a lot of outfits in a very small space. BTW, those boxes of very tiny Lindt chocolate bars are perfect for in flight snacks 🙂 I would always wear something that allows me to put valuables in my pockets if I have to leave my seat - I never leave valuables unattended, however nice my seat mate might seem! I got that purse hook on your recommendation, btw, and have had so many positive comments from people. I use it mostly to keep my purse off the table during our church soup suppers/Bible studies, so it doesn't get someone's soup spilled on it. Those Vera Bradley purses are hard to clean! I definitely recommend carrying individually wrapped alcohol wipes for your tray table, arm rest, and head rest (people forget about the head rest, but trust me, some of the folks I've encountered on planes, you do NOT want to be resting your hair where they've had theirs for several hours! That can be a great way to catch head lice. Ick!) Individually wrapped ones are much easier to deal with than resealing packages while you and everyone else on the plane are trying to get settled, and a box will last you a long time. A tip to making the getting everything settled and sanitized process go more quickly is to tuck a doggie waste bag into the cuff of your sleeve prior to boarding, then it is handy to whip out to put in your used wipe, and to gather up any other waste during the flight.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for your tips!

[@stephb3321]

Because of your channel, I have started packing extra clothes in a packing cube. I can cram it at the bottom of my personal bag and it takes up very little room. I also pack travel size skincare including some cotton balls, Qtips, and makeup remover wipes, because I don’t want to be without those, either. I never know with the airlines anymore if my luggage will arrive at my destination!

It keeps my things from getting lost in the deep pocket and getting dirty from... whatever!!! And I can wash it if necessary as well.

Hi… this remind me that the last time I followed your ways of packing extra set of clothes in my personal bag… and the airport delay my luggage…. I was safe but my husband wasn’t ..since he didn’t want to carry extra bags…. But yes.. thanks for the tips and advice on packing and packing and all that you do… I even have the same backpacks that you have share… the one with the light grey and pink combo.. I have a darker shade of that too… so hard not wanting to use it.. lol I was so indecisive when I bring the backpack or a tote… 😅

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Have a great trip! Thanks❤️

Laurie, it is raining like hell in NYC and i just bought some waterproof shoes you recommended recently for my upcoming South America trip

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Good, test them out. If you do not love them, return them. And have a blast!

[@lorimichelematthews9638]

Thank you for the update on the medicine! I take lots of meds and such a pain to bring all the bottles

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hope it gave you some ideas.

Hi Laurie! I love & rely on your travel tips! I had a thought about the phone stand. I bought a case for my new I-15 that has a flush folding built-in ring stand on the back that holds the phone vertically or horizontally. This wouldn’t help for Ipad, but if just using phone in-flight it makes one less item!😊

[@LauraMeadows-m6r]

Hi Laurie. Heard you mention some health problems a few times. Consider going keto. I’ve eliminated all my skin conditions and all my bloodwork is perfect. The sugars, grains, and carbs are causing inflammation.

[@sybilcarter9289]

I’m not Laurie, but I sure do need to do that. But it’s so hard. And I’m a small girl. I just crave the sweets and carbs. I’m trying. Just not fully committed. Lord help me!!

[@sf3413]

Thank you Laurie!!! I'm curious, have you tried a foot swing for long flights? You hang it on the tray table. I haven't bought it yet- can't tell if it's genius or a dud. I just found out we have mutual family friends while I was raving about you to my daughters' suitemates. 😂 small world

I heard some airlines don't allow the tray table cover. Do you or anyone know which airlines don't allow this? Thanks in advance!

[@user-be3bz3vh9n]

I was told by an Air Canada flight attendant to remove mine as it is not allowed. Real bummer, as I had comfortably set it all up and was looking forward to using it.😢

[@mamanothing9506]

Great video as always Laurie! Do you have a a video or can you make a video on keeping items placed in bins that will go thru TSA screening safe from theft from others? I have recently seen news of even shady TSA security officers steeling from the bins! Scary!! Thanks and blessings

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I just put any valuables in an inner zipped pocket.

[@SharonRepici]

Not to take away freedom m Laurie, she’s great, but I watched another travel video the other day and she recommended putting your items through in the order you want to receive them the other end. In her case it was personal item/backpack, then her electronics, then her closed carryon. At the other end she grabs the personal item, opens, and grabs the electronics and places in the bag, by then she’ll be ready to grab her carryon and move out of the security area.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh yes, I always put my backpack in first so that I can throw it over my shoulders and then take anything else to the bench to get organized. Thanks for sharing-great visual.@@SharonRepici

[@cheric4739]

I love our National Park compression cubes!! I bought them after you recommended a couple of years ago. We always check a bag but I always put a change of clothes in one. Laurie thank you for all the helpful hints I’ve used several of your recommendations. We’re going to Austria at the end of May for our Sons wedding. We’re going to be required to carry on 2 garment bags. We have 1 connection and the end of the trip is by train 😅 HELP!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Those garment bags are hard to find. Pack it full! Austria?!!! Beautiful

The ear plugs?

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Yes, My ears tend to really hurt when descending and landing.

[@Katye315]

I rarely fly but I like your videos. You get right to the point. I travel a lot more by car but have 4 kids so it's almost like TSA size regulations to cram our van full. 😂 I use some of these tips for car travel to save space, be more comfy. I need hotel room tips to stay organized with 6 people in 1 room. We manage but next trip I'm setting up a vanity station on the desk for sure.

[@sf3413]

You made me laugh!!! We are a family of 5 and once the kids were teens we just broke down and started doing 2 rooms. Except in Europe!!! Everyone just has to pack carry on only and be selfless and loving. 😂

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

So many memories!

Haven't flown for a while but like to hear some good ideas for future reference

Funny I was actually looking at train and bus travel for my next trip as plane travel has become a pain

Some of these will help you in a train or bus seat too.

Thank you thank you Laurie for the Vaverto foldable bamboo pillow. I am a side sleeper and need it to fill the gap under my neck and it did. Just unroll it about an hour before to get the full effect.

Thank you so much for your videos! They've been super helpful especially with our first international flight last year to Jamaica. However, we DID use day of the week pill organizers for our meds (vitamins and prescription) and was never questioned.

That’s great!

I bought those compression bags. They are great! I also used your idea about packing the extras in there. Especially after my suitcase went to a different state than me and we didn’t meet again for a week!! Very good tips! ✈️

Excellent information today (as always). I'll be using many of the ideas for the upcoming long haul flight (LAX to LHR - Heathrow). Thank you for the information on what to wear and sleep for the all-nighter flight. Question: Do you have an example or a recommendation for the one-liter liquid bags required to depart from Heathrow security? I know it's much smaller than the TSA Approved ones you get on Amazon. Thanks again (wife of a DFW pilot).
