Thanks to your tips my long flight to poland from phx went well with your advice on wearing compression socks. Then your anti theft tips are so good. I helped another solo travler going to rome Italy I met on our plane to Copenhagen. This is my first time out of my country. Fulfilling my dream of going to a different country. Going to this country for a rock concert and to experience a different culture and learn as much of their language as I can. Your tips helped with comfort in a long plane ride and feeling confident on not being a theft target. Thank you for sharing and being on here !
I have some Travelon and Pacsafe bags. They are the best! Appreciate your review of really small bags. Love that little rolling case! Rolling bags are just a great option. Thanks!
Hi Laurie, I have the #4 bag from Walmart. I’m 81 & I use it just for my carry-on meds, jewelry etc. I love having a bag that rolls rather than carry. Thanks for all your videos, I never miss one.😊
I use the roll on bag with the trolley sleeve as my personal item bag all the time since backpacks become too heavy for me during long walks through airports.
Travelon makes nice travel gear. I use their 3 compartment travel pouch for my electronics, snacks and tablet. I pull it out of my carry on and it fits in the seat pocket protecting my items from germs.
I just purchased the 16 inch Ecohup under seat backpack. It looks pretty good to me, and I'll be using it in a few weeks when I fly to Thailand. I really enjoy your videos and like the tips you give
Would love smaller bags like this that had trolly sleeves! I like having some room under the seat for my feet to stretch out, so a smaller bag is nice. But I also appreciate a trolly sleeve for when you have to run across an airport to catch a connecting flight.
Hey Laurie, I found a great travel product to help cut down on liquids and space! The Olay melts facial cleanser. I just bought some for my week in AZ in November. They are tiny and I put the amount I need in one of those silicone zip pouches. They lather amazingly well and not drying at all. I bought the Vitamin C ones. Cleans, tones and refreshes.
Hi Laurie! As always, love your videos! I love my Travelon bags. I have 3 cross body bags and have used them for multiple International trips. After seeing this video, I am now considering Travelon bag #1 to use as my personal bag for my upcoming trip!
Must review Lululemon 2.5 crossbody!! I couldn’t believe I spent $68 on it. I just got back from 10 days with a Mediterranean cruise. This bag was amazing, especially in Italy where I had to carry my passport all the time. Please review this bag.
Hello! I’m just popping in to say I have the first bag, and think it’s great! I haven’t traveled out of the country with it, but I have taken it on a handful of domestic trips.
How did you know this is what I've been searching for? lol I'm going on Swiss and their personal item size is 11.8" x 15.7" x 3.9". The 3.9 is throwing me off!
01:12 Wow, the security features on this bag are next level! The way the zippers lock and the wire-reinforced straps make it perfect for peace of mind while traveling. 🚶♂👜 Definitely a must-have for any international trip! ✈💼
I have the Delsey Paris which resembles the wheeled Amazon underseater in this video. Sometimes it fits under a seat, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the airplane's configuration of the seats in front of you and where you're seated on the plane. From experience, on a Boeing 757-200 and 737-800, I was able to fit the bag completely under the seat in front of me and still had leg room. On a Boeing 717-200, seated next to the window in aisle 26, the space under the seat was half of what it normally would be, so it didn't fit. Beware and be prepared - pack essentials you’ll need during your flight into a slim, separate organizer that you can remove in case you have to put the underseater into the overhead bin.
You should review small duffel / gym bags for travel. Last month went to Aruba for 8 days. All I took was a small gym bag 17 (length) x 13 (depth) x 9 (high). I rolled my clothes in those vacuum seal bags. Not sure what bathroom amenities the hotel included so I took toiletries and snacks. Still had lots of space left. This fit perfectly longways (widest part) under the window seat of Delta. For the middle seat, have to push it down a little to get under the power outlet. Even fits the smaller Delta aisle seat if you turn it sideways (short end). According to size charts it should fit under seat of other airlines as well. Disadvantage ... US costumes / border patrol gets suspicious of a single male traveling alone to Aruba for 8 days with only a small personal item bag.
Hi…..I have been watching your videos for the last year …very informative! I see you and others choose backpack style carry ons…I don’t know why…but I am rather paranoid about using these…I just have this vision of someone coming up in back of me and getting into it …I prefer cross bodies or types that I can keep in line of vision. I do see in the latest video that you can interlock the zippers on the backpack styles or one probably could wear it in the front? I think my main issue is being able to see it while I am traveling and not wearing it on my back out of my field of vision. Thanks for all the info!
Hi Laurie, thank you for the advice. Just wanted to check that bag No 1 is the one you have ? I have followed the link but the measurements are different. They say the bag is 9 x 11 x 3.5 ins. I think you said the length was 13ins. Would be grateful for your confirmation or otherwise, many thanks xx Wendy P
I just flew on Air Canada where neither my usual roll aboard carry on or personal item that I use on American Airlines fit. The personal item specs were 17x13x6 so much narrower than usual. I had to order about 6 different bags from Amazon to find one. Several of the bags I ordered weren’t the dimensions😊 listed in the description. I also had to get an international size roller carry on. I got the Briggs and Riley hard case because I don’t like a clamshell bag. They are pricier but have a lifetime warranty.
Hi Laurie, the new EU bag dimensions rule will affect any traveler INSIDE the EU (not UK). The personal item will be small, but they can take my Kipling tote from my cold dead hands. The personal item should not be larger than 40 x 30 x 15 cm on the EU deep discount carriers. The main piece of hand luggage must not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm, including handles and wheels. (Mine should squeak in)
Hi Laurie! Thank you so much for all you do! I share your videos to my Facebook page because I have a lot of friends who ask me about travel tips. And I want to give credit where credit is due! Quick question about the Level8 carryon suitcase you have linked here. Based on one of your videos a long while ago, I purchased the Level8 Grace extended carryon. You are absolutely right - the Level8 wheels cannot be compared to any other bag I’ve used. I also purchased the Ricardo carryon suitcase your son likes. If I could put the Level8 wheels on the Ricardo, I would have the perfect carryon. But back to the Level8. The Grace Level8 is considered a 20-inch and has the same dimensions (more or less) as the one recommended today. On the Grace, the capacity is 36L and the storage volume is 42L. On the one you recommended today, both of these figures are 40L. I’ve done some Googling, but I can’t figure out what these measurements really are in terms of how much I can get into my suitcase. I don’t care about how much space it takes up in the luggage bin because I know for my purposes it’s going to be fine on the airlines I fly. I’m looking at how much stuff I can get in the suitcase. Would that be the capacity figure? Thank you so much!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie yes. I went to the Amazon link you listed under this video and got the dimensions from it and compared it to the Level8 Grace 20-inch extended model I purchased a year ago. I was trying to see if the bag I already have is the same size inside. The outer dimensions listed in the product specifications are pretty much the same for each bag - yours and mine. But the difference is the “capacity”. Yours is 40L and mine is 36L. I think that means you can get more stuff into yours than I can get into mine. I just wanted to double check I was thinking correctly.
Good morning! Besides the Boarding Blue 17x10x9 rolling bag, are there any other brands of rolling bags that are these dimensions to fit under seat on United Flights? TY!
Hi, Laurie. we're on our last night in Iceland. gonna have to wear my boots on the plane, to make room for all the stuff we bought. oh, well, they go off and on easier with compression socks on. just hope I don't have to also wear the hevyy coat. the ride up here was WARM. and we got to see the aurora. there's an app that lets you know when it's a good time to keep an eye out.
Love that first bag! Just ordered it for my Italy and Greece trip next year. My donate pile keeps getting larger from all the better and more efficient travel items you have introduced me to in your videos😆. BTW, girlfriend, what are your undies doing in that front pocket🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. JK😉

I love your videos. You give great travel tips that I use. Thanks!
Thank you Cathy!
Great explanations and products! Thank you.☀️
Thanks for watching!
That first bag looks great with all the pockets and security zipper attachments.
I was impressed the more I showed it so I kept it.
The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I have some Travelon and Pacsafe bags. They are the best! Appreciate your review of really small bags. Love that little rolling case! Rolling bags are just a great option. Thanks!
I have so many viewers who needed extremely small bag options so I was happy to try some.
Wow, you must have heard me bitching to my husband about this issue 😂. United under seat requirements are ridiculous! Well timed thank you!
They really are making us have to check luggage I think.
Hi Laurie, I have the #4 bag from Walmart. I’m 81 & I use it just for my carry-on meds, jewelry etc. I love having a bag that rolls rather than carry. Thanks for all your videos, I never miss one.😊
Oh yay! Mine is an Amazon one.
Laurie, We just got back from Italy! All of your videos have been very helpful! Especially with packing and protecting yourself from pickpockets! 👍😊
Too funny… thanks for the bloopers.
Our pleasure! ha
I have several Travelons that fold up and love them. These are all great choices. And I've experienced a few of those surprises myself 🤣😉
Good to know!
Hahaha! I just adore bloopers! Travelon is a great product. Been using them for years, I really appreciate the little light and clip inside!
Thank you so much dear!!!
I use the roll on bag with the trolley sleeve as my personal item bag all the time since backpacks become too heavy for me during long walks through airports.
Me too. Carrying around a backpack all day is just not an option!
Travelon is the BEST‼️‼️‼️‼️
Yes love the first 3 by them!
Travelon makes nice travel gear. I use their 3 compartment travel pouch for my electronics, snacks and tablet. I pull it out of my carry on and it fits in the seat pocket protecting my items from germs.
kislux versace bag is so cute
Also… I have several travelon purses and a backpack… love their product for domestic and international travel.
Yes those first 3 had to be shown.
I just purchased the 16 inch Ecohup under seat backpack. It looks pretty good to me, and I'll be using it in a few weeks when I fly to Thailand. I really enjoy your videos and like the tips you give
I just bought an Ecohub. Love that it opens like a suitcase!
Thank you and enjoy Thailand.
Would love smaller bags like this that had trolly sleeves! I like having some room under the seat for my feet to stretch out, so a smaller bag is nice. But I also appreciate a trolly sleeve for when you have to run across an airport to catch a connecting flight.
The tiny Nomad Lane backpack does: bit.ly/NomadSlimBackpack
Canadian airline personal item sizes are much too small. Thanks for all the options!
Gotta love Travelon products. I finally decided on a new LUG bag for trip to HI in Dec for under seat.
Yes those first 3 are from them. Have fun!
Love the bags Laurie, and the blooper😂
Love number 5. Such a classical look x
It really is pretty; I just need bigger.
I love backpacks with multiple pockets 👍🏾
They can be so helpful!
Loved the blooper 🤣
Can you believe that?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Yes I can 😂

You are the best.....love the blooper. That would be me....
Ha!
LOL, love bloopers!
You are so sweet!!! Every time I asked a question you replied!!! All your information is so helpful and informative
Thanks for your time watching!
I love all of the safety features on my travelon bags. I felt secure using it on my recent trip 🎉🎉🎉
It really helps!
I have a travel-on bag very similar to number three which I absolutely love. I believe they are also waterproof which is great. Thank you so much!
Yes! So helpful for travel.
Great video and blopper. Loved that first bag. Air Canada is strict with bags so I just might get this one. Thanks!
I really do not need it but I kept it b/c it was so great.

Who comes up with 3.9? How crazy strict is that. There is no way they are going to be able to check that.

I have the third one that I use for a purse. Tried to travel with it once. It was awful to get into. Going to donate.

That's awesome; I just do not care for that style yet.
Most people want a carryon that that has wheels.
Why break your back?
I have the #5 bag and I took that to my 30 day trip to EU this year I called it my Marry popens bag
Ha! Love it; it's beautiful too.

I feel the same way. I don’t like not being able to see my bag. And I taught preK for years and I feel like a little kid 😂
Agree! I also don't like having to take it off my back when I need something.
I understand. The first and third and 4th were not backpacks if that helps.

I guess it depends on where you measure. I measured 13" and did keep that first bag.
