    Hi Kahmy! Haha I'm probably late to the party but this is such a helpful video! As someone who is mostly worried about my luggage getting lost in transit and I thought it was just something I got to accept while flying, you've shown me its possible to pack everything into a backpack with no check-in luggage. Definitely trying that out on my next trip with connecting flights especially. Thanks so much :D

      hi kind musings! ah this absolutely made my day thank you for watching and I'm so happy this was helpful to empower you to be more minimalistic. it's definitely possible to bring just the essentials yet still be comfortable AND it will definitely streamline your transit experience in all airports. Trust me, walking past all the long lines to check in and pick up luggage is a mad flex hehe ;) happy travelling! <3

    Maybe I am wrong. From what I know, liquids cannot go into check-in. Max is also 7kg

    • @okaykahmy
      @okaykahmy 10 месяцев назад

      hi! yes actually you can pack more liquids into your check in luggage than your carry on (usually a 100ml liquid max). some airlines allow up to 10kg carry on, so it really depends on your carrier and ticket details :)

  • @serenacoils1866
    @serenacoils1866 Год назад

    All that will be over 7 kilo’s so you can not use it as a carryon

    • @okaykahmy
      @okaykahmy 10 месяцев назад

      yes, it was slightly above 7kg but sometimes the seat allows up to 10kg! :) def check with the airline and or buy extra weight allowance if needed. I still recommend only using carry on instead of check in due to convenience, speed, ease and also to minimise risk of lost or late luggage, which happens a lot in Europe in summer due to increased travel volumes. safe travels!

You can use the same wristband for the whole weekend, but don't worry if you lose it or take it off, they will also give you a new one every time you enter as long as you show them the digital ticket. (there will be detailed instructions by them closer to date so you are well covered) HAVE FUN! :D

  • @AtmosJourney

    Being minimalist has a challenge from budget airlines. These budget airlines will scrutinize the weight of your one-bag travel to meet their 7kg requirement. If your 44L bag exceeds that weight limit, they will make you pay for it as check-in luggage 😊

    • @okaykahmy
      @okaykahmy Год назад

      Hey Atmos! that's so true, being overweight is definitely a risk, so I usually try to look small and avoid eye contact at airports to not get pulled for a weight check haha. I pull the waterproof cover over the entire bag and I think that helps it look less clunky. So far no trouble yet on budget airlines, although sometimes it is a squeeze in the overhead compartment, which is also why I try to enter the plane early to snag space first. Luckily, it's mostly soft clothes or things in there, so with a push and nudge, it always fits! Happy traveling! :)

    • @AtmosJourney
      @AtmosJourney Год назад

      @okaykahmy LOL! 😆 avoid eye contact with Airlines' ground crew to avoid being whisked to the weighing scale to check if your one bag travel is overweight or not. Those airline crews are experienced enough to keep a watchful eye at passengers who are avoiding eye contacts at all cost. Generally, from 65L downsized to 33L using my Osprey Talon just below 7kg, this is where I don't avoid eye contact. My eyes are wide open, glimming with bravery looking at the airlines' check-in counter staff. I love to see their faces when they weight my bag and dumb-founded especially when I'm on international flights for a long vacation with just a lightweight personal item bag 😅

    • @okaykahmy
      @okaykahmy Год назад

      omg that's amazing!! if I downsize to a 33L il make another video and add the part about being able to stare at ground staff confidently haha. 7kg is truly impressive, way to go!!

    • @AtmosJourney
      @AtmosJourney Год назад

      @okaykahmy hi Kahmy. YES it is possible to downsize it to 33L and just under 7kg with minimal essentials. Just do your own laundry daily. Buy a small packet of laundry detergent and a bar of soap when you reached your destination to help support the local economy. You could also get some other items locally along the way and have fun in your travels. I've got perfect examples of this in my Annapurna videos on my channel. The only video that I've got to show what's inside my 33L is that trip to Koh Lipe in Thailand. Hope it helps 🥰. I can't wait to see your 7kg one bag travel video 🙂

    Why brand is your small crossbody?

    • @okaykahmy
      @okaykahmy Год назад

      hi Tanya! oh that's such a good question I forgot to put it in the video haha, its from TUMI! but any crossbody of your preferred style/brand would work. things I would recommend is for the sling to have: 1. adjustable straps (length) 2. more than just one compartment 3. zips!! (ideally 2 so you can lock em) hope this helps, thank you for watching and happy traveling! :)

  • @okaykahmy
    @okaykahmy Год назад

    hey there! thanks so much for watching and I hope this was helpful, or at least, entertaining haha. Perhaps the biggest takeaway of all, is to not collect more than you can carry, and to learn how to let go as you will surprise yourself that you can indeed, get by with less!

    • @okaykahmy
      @okaykahmy Год назад

      hi Annie! you're so welcome and that's a great question, here's how I fit them all: 1. tote bag folds into the Gregory sling 2. Gregory sling fits into the front pocket of my main backpack 3. extra duffel folds and slides into the elastic back pocket of my main backpack 4. small black crossbody for essentials stays on my body, but can also fit into my larger backpack's top compartment 5. blue computer bag stands on its own and is always full haha so that does not fold into anything Yep so usually on planes, I'll have 3 bags after packing the rest into each other: 1. small black crossbody that stays on my body 2. blue computer bag slides under the seat in front of me 3. main backpack goes up into the overhead compartment Hope this helps and happy traveling! :)
