You can forget that some small items are already in the bag before you start packing it. That's why I think this (to always empty the bag before packing it) is such a great tip. I once spent some 2 hours in the airport in Santiago de Cuba (after arrival, not before departure!) being interrogated by some very annoyed security personnel who kept asking me if I have any memory sticks with me. As it happened I had quite a few (I'm a geek working in IT...) so they checked every single one of them on their computer (which looked like an old Intel 386 machine, I was surprised it even had USB ports). They were still not happy. I was at a complete loss. They rescanned my luggage in the X-ray machine and they kept getting angrier with me. I had to empty the bag and lay everything in front of them. Then I realised what they were seeing in the X-ray machine: I threw in my big checked suitcase a small backpack I only used to go to beach. I was convinced it was empty but it wasn't - in one of the pockets I had one cheap MP3 player that I only used while at the beach. Once I took that out and they checked it they calmed down, but it was quite an unpleasant experience overall. Very good tip - empty the bags before packing them.

As a pilot and the retired Health & Safety Chairman for Pan Am, I will NEVER wear synthetic clothes on a flight- they melt on your skin in case of any fire in an emergency. Also, you can use fabric paint to ‘decorate’ your baggage (it can even be tasteful)- that makes the bags very unique. Also, I ALWAYS keep the things I would be heartbroken if I lost in my possession at all times, never checked.

Nora Dunn has commented on fanny packs and and stuff'able neck pillows as now more often NOT being allowed. A few weeks ago I watched someone else's site and this woman spoke specifically that at check in , the person at the desk said that the fanny pack was a personal item and therefore her personal item "bag" was unallowed. Fortunately she was able to stuff the fanny-pack into the personal item bag, but the person then wanted to weigh the bag to ensure it still met the weight limits for a personal item bag. Someone else reported that when she had a cushy neck pillow, the person at the desk wanted to weigh the neck pillow along with the personal item bag saying too many people were stuffing them with more clothes, which was hiding weight. And so I don't know if those two hacks work anymore.
@ProjectUntetheredАй бұрын
First off, Nora is awesome! Second, I personally haven't had any issues in ~100 flights, but since others have experienced problems, it seems like a "your mileage may vary" situation. Perhps one thing that has helped me is that I am pretty discreet with my fanny pack and pillow (I ALWAYS use a fanny pack, but only sometimes use a pillow). My fanny pack blends into my clothes - or is under my jacket - and I usually swing it around my back whenever I have to go to the check in counter. The pillow is also usually clipped to my personal item which is on my back (my body is blocking it from view) or on the ground in front of the counter where the check-in agent can't really see it. Long story short, you're much less likely to have issues if you try to be as discreet as possible. If you set your fanny pack down on the counter and have a giant neck pillow around your neck, then you're kind of asking to get called out. All that said, if I ever did get called out about either of those things, I would probably (politely) argue pretty hard. Since these things are attached to your body during the flight, they aren't taking up any extra space in the overhead bins or under your seats, so it's ridiculous to charge extra for them. They are no different then wearing clothes with tons of pockets.

They weren't 7kg, but as their dimensions were okay, they allowed me to go (it was less than 8kg). Because I was wearing a hoodie with a big front pocket, they wanted to know if I had anything there.

I used a bright pink hockey tape to wrap around the handles (but not the one that goes up & down) for my dark grey/black suitcase. Since it's hockey tape it will withstand lots of manhandling by airport personnel, and the bright colour really helped me see my bag on the carousel ASAP! DayGlo yellow or green hockey tape would work, too (Amazon has lots of this stuff). Cheaper than coloured luggage.

If anyone is too irresponsible to know exactly where all the bullets they own are at all times, maybe they should consider whether they're too irresponsible to have bullets in the first place.

Keeping the minimum super important items (phone, ID, passport, necessary Rx, at least a few doses) is also a good idea in case of extreme emergencies where you'd have to evacuate the building, plane immediately and are not able or allowed to take anything!

Unfortunately, many US airlines are now counting a fanny pack as one of your carry-on items (regardless of class). We had to remove our fanny packs prior to boarding….as it gave us 3 items each instead of 2. (But, I put mine back on once I was seated and buckled in, and nothing was said about it.)
@ProjectUntetheredАй бұрын
Grr that's annoying. I always try to make mine super low key so it's not noticeable. Mine fanny pack is black, and I wear black clothes and swing it around behind my back (or have it under my jacket) when I'm at the check-in counters so it's not obvious.

The unpacking the bag bit, that sucks. I have had this happen on a cruise. Im in a legal state for Marijuana, was very adamant to my family to double check bags and make sure they didnt have anything with them. Guess who forgot to check her purse before leaving? Thats right. Me. Was on the cruise ship in my cabin, opened my purse and its all i could smell. Took a day to figure out where it was coming from, half a smoked joint in a tube. Took it off the boat and smoked it in alaska so i didnt have it on me anymore. Never again. Always going to triple check my bags now 😅

I do one or the other depending on the trip. I think my wife will start using the Level8 suitcase for more trips going forward though because she has a bit of scoliosis and carrying heavy backpacks isn't the best idea for her.

@@ProjectUntethered Thank you. I did a trial packing for our trip to Iceland in September and think that I will need to carry both my 40L backpack and Away Carry on due to the bulk of some warmer weather clothes. If it was a warm weather trip I could do the backpack all day long. Continue creating, love your videos.

Yeah cold weather can be tough. I've found that a packable poof jacket (decathlon), packable rain coat, and thermal underwear is a pretty powerful-yet-compact combo. This is what I used for most of my 3 passes trek near the Everest region in March. Hope you can figure out how to fit everything!

Merino Wool is great for socks. Super itchy for shirts, though. Very uncomfortable :\
@ProjectUntetheredАй бұрын
I thought that too with a shirt I bought several years ago, but the tank and underwear I have from Unbound Merino doesn't bother me at all. I also have their travel pants and noticed they were itchy right when I put them on for the first time, but it slowly went away after weaing for a couple hours. I can't speak for the other shirts though, still need to test.

I think the trick is to get merino wool blend shirts (I have a few) as they aren’t itchy though I am wearing my 100% merino t-shirt in my hotel room in Indonesia as I write this and not really very itchy.

@@dotted8- What can Merino wool be blended with that's a good material? Can't really order such shirt online. You gotta try it on, see if it fits, if it's itchy. Spending 100$ on a Merino wool shirt online, having to send it back if it doesn't fit/feel well - is a bit of a hassle. I wonder if normal Merino wool shirts could be found easily in physical stores these days, or is it a needle in a haystack...

To me, it depends on how often you travel, how long you're traveling for, how often you have to pay for checked bags, and how much you dislike doing laundry while traveling (or at home). If you're just taking one 10-day vacation per year, probably not worth it. For me - someone who essentially lives out of a backpack for over half the year - it's a total gamechanger.
