Friendly flight attendant here. The gate agents aren’t persnickety , technically these bags do count as a personal item and they are just doing their job. What I think many passengers don’t understand is that nearly EVERYTHING flight crew and gate agents do is regulated by the FAA , so when a passenger asks them to overlook their little extra bag they are now breaking a rule and can get in trouble for that. I get the rules are annoying but they’re also not a huge ask either and it really helps make these jobs less stressful if we just cooperate ! And pleeaaaase just don’t wear the bag on the plane when we are taking off and landing ! Flight crew is required to tell you to stow it.
I apologize. I made this video before it was common to wear sling bags on a plane. Now I just stow my in flight bag in my personal item during boarding/ takeoff rather than getting stopped right before boarding. I don’t like holding up the line. On a recent flight out of Orlando, I noticed that people with crossbody bags were being told to put them in their personal item, but shopping bags from them parks didn’t seem to “count”. Is there an exemption for shopping bags or was it just that crew?
Flight Attendant - Couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you (and your coworker’s) for enforcing the requirements we all agree to when purchasing our tickets.
@@okayestfamilytravelsI know it seems odd that big shopping ages are ok but a small sling is not acceptable. A sling is against the body. Makes no sense to me. I must not get it.
This is perfect! And all in one list for in flight essentials! Thank you, now I don't have to be worried that I would forget something! Puts a whole new meaning to a ladys handbags - you've got it all!
I love Evian water and wish they made a tiny one to carry for maybe a weeks worth of spray. I have skin sensitivity issues and that brand is perfect and I use it as a hairspray "refresh"
JUJUBE! I've got several jujube be sets in my closet from back when I used to buy lots of their stuff. (And some are still in regular rotation as my electronics bag, etc)
BTW when you buy a be set, it comes with three bags! So the small be set can be used to corral smaller things inside the large be set piece (And the medium be set used to be the perfect size for my kindle ereader)
I love this little bag but because it’s so deep, I’d think you’d have to pull everything out to get to stuff towards the bottom! I prefer a wider, not so deep bag.
Please where did you get the little pouch that you carry stuff for your every day carry? Great size. Just wish it had a loop on it to be able to attach it
100% agree there is no need to carry all your loyalty cards, gym card, extra credit cards etc. But DO NOT leave your health insurance card at home. No one plans to be injured or sick on vacation but it happens. As a nurse in a high tourist area, I can say never leave your insurance card at home.
When I used this method, I carried a personal item backpack and would just wear the crossbody during the flight. I have a new method now, check my channel for the updated way I pack my essentials. Thanks!
Please don't spray scent in the bathroom after you do your business. So many people have scent allergies and this will make them SICK! It's far better just to do your business and leave. Does it stink? Of course. But you won't make people sick from your perfumes and scents.
Thanks for your comment. Poopourri isn’t an air freshener. You spritz it directly into the toilet before you go and it traps the smell. It’s not a product that leaves a smell behind. Also, I looked it up and it doesn’t contain parabens, pthalates, aerosol, formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, ethanol or benzene. (Things that typically activate scent allergies)
That gate agent is doing her job. It’s not an airplane policy it’s a federal policy, you know by the FAA. I does count as your personal item and need to be consolidated into another bag before you board. You’re just making the job of the agents and flight attendants job harder. The persnickety person is not the agent it’s YOU
Hi Mike, when I made this video, crossbody bags like this weren’t nearly as popular as they are now. I always recommend saving space in your actual personal item for your crossbody bag, and always comply with both the gate agents and flight crew, because like you said, they are just trying to do their job. I’ve actually stopped wearing crossbody bags for boarding because I don’t want to slow up traffic to step to the side and stow my bag, so I guess I need to make a new video🤷♀️

As a flight attendant I absolutely love that you bring your own trash bag instead of shoving things in the seat back pocket or using a barf bag
You’re welcome! Two of my friends are flight attendants and they told me the same thing.
Flight attendant here, this is a really good video will more people saw this
Thanks! That means a lot coming from someone who must see all kinds of different traveler types.
This is the best no frills collection i uave seen in a long time. So much so i am writing it down!
Thanks!
This is perfect! And all in one list for in flight essentials! Thank you, now I don't have to be worried that I would forget something! Puts a whole new meaning to a ladys handbags - you've got it all!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, be sure to check out my others when you have time.
For me, I would add a nail file, feminine products and eye drops. And more snacks!😂
Make sure to come back and check out my personal item video
Soft file allowed, no metal. 😉
Nice video! I would pack an extra trash bag for the flight home and two sets of medical gloves to use when you're wiping off the tray etc.
I opened the video and said “oh she sewed a Mag pack how perfect. I came for the travel video and found a fellow bag sewist
Welcome! I sew a lot of the bags and pouches I use.
Very creative use of space.
Thanks!
Wow, I can't believe all the stuff that fit into the sling bag! Thanks for sharing.
I would also love to see your personal item video. Great job on that Mav pack. It's beautiful 😍
Thank you!
It really is. I do t sew but this makes me wish I did. So sweet and so practical.
I love Evian water and wish they made a tiny one to carry for maybe a weeks worth of spray. I have skin sensitivity issues and that brand is perfect and I use it as a hairspray "refresh"
OMG. Love this. It's like Felix the Cat bag. 😁 Well done
I loved this video! Great ideas❤
Thanks!
I’d love to see more of what you pack!
Love your style! Diaper bag packing mom, turned traveling with kids mom. 😉 That bag you made is super cute. 🌺Heidi
Thank you! ❤️
Isn't she great! I am obsessed with smart packing ideas
I did not know a bri k kept it safer for phone. Safe in terms of people getting ur info or better for the phone?
You are very talented and I love how you film looking down at the item and when you show stuff.
I have a set of those foldable fans and I love them.
I've never seen those fans before and I was like I NEED this fan! 😁
Love that bag….great video! Would definitely love to see what’s in your carry on and personal item bag! ❤
OMG! I LOVED this video. I pack very similar but this video just spoke to me. I'm going to have to compare to my essentials items. 😁 TFS
Thank you for posting. This was very helpful. I am going to create this for myself. Love it!
Excellent video and list! And my daughter is currently in the DCP, so I am all about Disney-themed things right now, lol!
Great job! This was really helpful, thank you.😊
Glad it was helpful!

The essentials. Love to see your personal item video!
I carry those compressed towels for when going camping. Sometimes it is totally out of toilet paper and they work in a pinch.
Thank you for your videos ❤ very helpful
You're welcome!
I have that same phone stand and a few more from dollar tree Canada 🇨🇦
My husband figured out how to put part of it in the closed seat back tray and watch at eye level.
Love this video! So useful!
Thanks!
OMG you made this? I love it.
Thanks!
Wow! I love this! A true "essentials" video. Great video. I would love to see your personal item video. Just subscribed!
Thanks!
JUJUBE! I've got several jujube be sets in my closet from back when I used to buy lots of their stuff. (And some are still in regular rotation as my electronics bag, etc)

I love this little bag but because it’s so deep, I’d think you’d have to pull everything out to get to stuff towards the bottom! I prefer a wider, not so deep bag.
In Australia we are only allowed one peice of luggage in the cabin with a maximum weight of 7 kilos. We are however allowed a checked bag.
Love your Mav bag, will you have any listed on your Etsy shop. Would love to purchase one. ❤
I custom make them. You can message me on Etsy for more information. Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks!
Yes I always make sure there is room in the backpack for my fanny pack. Because legitimately they could make you put it there.
Love it! ❤
I love your Disney bag! Where can I get one? Thanks!
I made it! If you’re interested in having one made, message me on Etsy. Link in the description.
Please where did you get the little pouch that you carry stuff for your every day carry? Great size. Just wish it had a loop on it to be able to attach it
I got it from Daiso in 2021
I would like to see your carry on bag 😊
Great video! I love the Mav pack. Will you be making any of these bags in the near future?
Thanks! I do custom orders for the Mav Pack. You can message me on my Etsy page. Link is in the description
You can get those single dose package meds in bulk online for less than dollar tree.
Thanks!
Just curious, did you put that lotion and hand sanitizer in your liquids bag first when going through security??
Yes
Nice, what is the little gray plastic bag with the meds?
Just a little zip pouch I got from Daiso
Oof, the comments! No good deed goes unpunished!
TFS☮️
Where did you get the little see thru bag that had all the meds, bandaids, etc…in it?
Daiso
100% agree there is no need to carry all your loyalty cards, gym card, extra credit cards etc. But DO NOT leave your health insurance card at home. No one plans to be injured or sick on vacation but it happens. As a nurse in a high tourist area, I can say never leave your insurance card at home.
We bring the cards and photocopy backups
thanks for sharing ❤
You’re welcome!
Hello, I have that same small fan.😂😂
Where did you get your fan from? I cant seem to find one.
Where did you get the folding fan from?
There’s a link to them in the description
I'd love to order a bag from you, did I miss it in your Etsy shop?? Thanks for the wonderful video!!!
There’s a link to my Etsy shop in the show notes. Just click the “more” button . If you don’t see anything you like, send me a message on Etsy
The little zipper bag that you used for meds, the smokey gray looking one. Where did you get that? Perfect size bag.
Daiso. It’s a Mickey bag
where did you find the Daiso bag that held all your meds? I couldn't find it on amazon
At Daiso in Plano, TX
Hi I went to your Etsy shop. I don’t see the red bag on there?
I custom make them. You can message me on Etsy for more information. Thanks for watching!
A bit confused….you have liquids that aren’t in a TSA approved bag?
I put them in the sling bag after I’m through security
What about your liquids bag for your lotion?
I put it in my liquids bag for TSA and then pull it out afterwards.
@@okayestfamilytravelsthe bag that the lotion is in, the refillable small pouch. Where did you get it?
On the sling can you buy them online
You can search Mav Pack on Etsy
Where did u get ur wallet
I made it!
great video but isn't there garbage bags on the plane already!? Why bring your own?
I’ve never seen garbage bags. Barf bags maybe? I know some people use those for garbage. I never count on them being in the seatback
I have the same phone holder from dollar tree Canada 😂😂
So, do you carry a purse?
When I used this method, I carried a personal item backpack and would just wear the crossbody during the flight. I have a new method now, check my channel for the updated way I pack my essentials. Thanks!
where can we get the bag?
Go to Etsy and search Mav Pack sling bag
@@okayestfamilytravels all I see is vinyl mav bags. I want a fabric one like yours. Can you send me the link here where you got yours? Thanks.
I made mine! There’s a link to my Etsy shop in the description if you want to message me over there.
@@okayestfamilytravels I’ll do that. Thanks
Don’t you need to put your poopouri into your TSA 3:1:1 bag?
Yes. I transfer it after I’m through tsa
One personal item. No purse or fanny pack etc
Uh, yeah?
Cell phone?
Love the bag but I don’t sew
I’ve linked similar ones from Amazon above or you can search Mav Pack on Etsy
Don't shake and move items you showing, it makes it hard to watch the video. Thanks
Don’t watch the video 🤷♀️
So sneak it in and don't follow the rules because they don't apply to you until they apply to you.
Is that a question or an accusation?
Please don't spray scent in the bathroom after you do your business. So many people have scent allergies and this will make them SICK! It's far better just to do your business and leave. Does it stink? Of course. But you won't make people sick from your perfumes and scents.
Thanks for your comment. Poopourri isn’t an air freshener. You spritz it directly into the toilet before you go and it traps the smell. It’s not a product that leaves a smell behind. Also, I looked it up and it doesn’t contain parabens, pthalates, aerosol, formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, ethanol or benzene. (Things that typically activate scent allergies)
FYI wet ones do not desinfect….waist of time
Imagine taking the time to leave an expert comment and then not bothering to spellcheck yourself. What a waste of time.
That gate agent is doing her job. It’s not an airplane policy it’s a federal policy, you know by the FAA. I does count as your personal item and need to be consolidated into another bag before you board. You’re just making the job of the agents and flight attendants job harder. The persnickety person is not the agent it’s YOU
