  • Today I will share 10 tips and travel hacks for my carry-on tote bags. You may travel with a backpack. Some of you pack in a weekender or small duffel bag like this one. In this video I will teach you tips and tricks for these personal items that you carry on the airplane. They fit under the airplane seat in front of you. According to luggage restrictions for Delta, American and United Airlines these will all fit under the airplane seat as a personal item. I call them all carry-on bags. The number one tip is to travel with a personal item that lets you be hands-free. #tipsandtricks #carryonbags #traveltips #underseatbag

    Been watching loads of tips on videos but have yet to see anybody say to take along lots of five-dollar bills and even singles for tipping people at the airport who help you! I use a wheelchair and especially in huge airports, the person who picks me up in the airport chair stays with me until I board if I need them to. Some have even offered to push me down the walkway until I get to the plane where I can then manage w/ my cane or walker. Don’t forget to tip for their service. I couldn’t travel without them!

    I saw an idea I thought was pretty smart. The traveler put the things she most wanted during the flight in a zippered bag she could pull out of her under-seat bag. After finding her seat, she'd pull out the smaller bag with her book, charger, snack, mask or whatever and she wouldn't have to keep diving into her under-seat bag for "stuff".

      I do this! It's great. Two additions: after security, or at my gate, I retrieve hand lotion from my Liquids bag. On the plane, I put my Seat Bag in a ziploc bag before slipping it into the seat pocket under the tray. (I pack a ziploc for each plane, they can be to gross to reuse.) Hope this helps.

    My favorite bag has a black lining. I like it because it has lot of pockets for organizing. One tip I have not seen you mention is carrying a tiny flashlight (size of a pen) that clips inside one of the pockets. When I need something in the bag, I just click the light on, can see exactly what I want and then click it back off. It is such a simple solution to the dark linings in bags that are otherwise perfect. :-)

The flight Attendant Was impressed With my packing skills...thanks to you! 1 thing I did That was extremely beneficial was index cards color coded by city with Air BNB information and address and dates. Excursions with dates times and addresses in the event that my phone went down while I was there. So if I took a cab handed the driver the address cardExcursions with dates times and addresses in the et was truly a lifr saver

    Hi Laurie. Love your very helpful videos for many years. Tip: Use Bootie Socks over regular socks & wear inside your sneakers. When you go through security & walk on that dirty floor, take them off inside out, and put in a plastic bag to wash in the sink at your destination. Do the same on your return flight. This way you don't put nasty/dirty socks inside your "relatively" clean sneakers. Tip 2: Before leaving home - Tie sneaker laces loosely so you can take them off easily at security, but they don't fall off. After getting through security, untie bow & put your sneakers back on more quickly/easily. Took me 20+ years to come up with these tips... ;) Hope this helps people. Happy traveling, whenever it's right for you. Blessings to all! :D

      Great ideas! For several years, I’ve used dry bags to pack headphones (small) and a medium that hold the stuff I want while in flight. They also are useful as actual dry bags to protect electronics in Your day bag or back pack while site-seeing in case it rains. The beauty of these is the closure. If you want your stuff to be dry, fold the opening over several times and clip closed. In flight, use the clips to attach your bag to the arms of your tray table - negates the need for your stuff to be in contact with the yucky seat pouch or actual tray.

    TSA tips-frozen liquids can go through. I fill a water bottle 1/2 way and freeze solid. Then fill with water after TSA.
    Makeup remover can be put on cotton rounds and into a ziplock bag. It doesn't count as liquid ! Skip liquid eye liner and use a pencil liner. Makeup samples are great if you can find them.

    Hubby and I are in our early 70’s and retired. We are lucky to be able to fly and each check in 2 bags at no charge. So we check in regular and carryon bags so we don’t have to deal with arthritis and lifting carryons overhead. But that does make the personal bag heavy to carry to what always appears to be the last gate at the airport. I now use a smaller, underseat bag with 4 wheels (tried 2 wheels and was cumbersome) as my personal item. There, I take meds, 1 set of clothing, and everything I will use during flight. We are usually traveling for 3 weeks and thus need a bit more to pack.
    Also, Amazon sells these valet trays that are totally flat, then you can snap them into shape when you arrive. We put our keys, change, glasses inside and keep it by our bedside.

    I always pack an old sock in my carry-on. I am a Coca-Cola addic so the first thing I get once I go through security is my bottle of Coke. I slip it in the old sock I think that helps keep it insulated a bit and it definitely absorbes the condensation.

      Just traveled from San Diego to Florida. We have tsa precheck. I had a pouch of wipes and ziploc baggie with a bottle of handsanitiser, I told the tsa agent if I needed to take them out. They said no. When my bag went through, they had to put it through a couple times, then they pulled it to the side. The wipes and sanitizer flagged it for them . They took it out and checked it. All was fine. On my way. On way home I just took out the pouch and the ziploc baggie and put it in a bin. No problem, went right through. This was the second time I've flown and my wipes and sanitizer was flagged, both times I told them I had it in my bag and should I take it out, both times flagged. So from now on I will just take them out even with tsa preccheck

    I love my Tortuga outbreaker laptop backpack. It's great for underseat and has a ton of storage pockets. I've never had an issue carrying this on flights. It has a great tablet/small laptop pocket that's double lined. Great tip on moving liquids bag to the carry-on bag.

    Happy birthday Laurie! Thank you for all of your tips. I have an underseater by a company called destinations but I dont think they sell them any more. It worked well when I flew Spirit, Frontier or United basic Economy. When I flew to Europe I used a tote by Samantha Brown which matched my carry on luggage. Your videos have helped me seamlessly get through TSA and pack smarter. My upcoming travel will be the first since Covid but I feel confident I'll be fine due to your tips and the comments from this travel community. Thanks Laurie and to the community. Safe travels everyone 🛫

    I like to put my travel essentials for the flight in a separate pouch/packing cube, so I can slide it out of the bag from under the seat and stock the pocket in front of me for easy access. Same goes for toys and snacks for my little one.

    My favorite bags are Lug bags. Great for travel. My favorite personal item bag is a Lug Via tote. It has hidden backpack straps and a crossbody strap. Sometimes backpacks are hard to get in and out of , with the Via you can carry on your shoulder while in the security line. Then as you get closer to the officers you can use the crossbody strap to wear on your shoulder (like a purse) once you put your passport back in the bag wear it as a backpack again. Love it. Makes airplane travel so much easier. The Lug steamboat is a favorite of my husband because it’s a duffel with hidden backpack straps.

    First, happy belated birthday, Laurie! You look very young. Your hack of putting an outfit in a compression (or even regular) packing cube inside your "personal item" is excellent, just in case the carry on is forced to be sent to checked baggage at the gate. I always make sure that I have at least a top and underwear in my personal item, just in case. I can't wait to see your new filming area but hope that Ollie still makes appearances. Have a great day!
