Hi, my name is Halee and I love sharing adventures and stories that I hope inspire others to try something. My goal is to showcase travel for all types of people. I’m aware that not everyone can afford to fly to London or even do a road trip that is 1,000 miles away. This blog will show you the art of a staycation or adventures on sandy beaches and beyond!

I, for one, am very glad to see a “thick lady” as you say, doing the video. All these “pack using only a backpack” videos I usually see are 95lb ladies, so of course they can fit a lot in the bag. I’m not 95 lbs and those videos are useless to me. Thank you! As far as packing cubes, sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. It depends on the trip (sometimes it’s worth having the stuff organized in cubes). I like that under seat bag! Backpacks are not for me. I pack them too heavy.
Thank you!
I just added the link for the bags
Omg same here! I'm like, of course you can fit everything into that bag, all your clothes folds down to a centimeter!
Agree this was great thankyou
Ditto!
From one "thick lady" to another " thick lady" this was such a helpful video. Thanks 😊
You are so welcome!
Yay! I have been looking for a fellow thick girl that does travel packing videos. Skinny girls don’t understand the struggle!!
Amen!
Halee, thank you for making a packing video showing how possible it is to pack plenty of clothing for us "thicker" girls. I'd never heard of that company, so it was interesting to see what they have to offer.
I’m going to have a promo link soon
YES! Thank you. I was just telling my husband I've been watching all these travel packing tips and while they are helpful it really makes a huge difference if someone is packing for a size 2 v 22. Awesome tips.
So glad it could help. My husband and I have started a new website plussizetravelguide.com and started an IG for this kind of stuff.
I agree with some of the other comments. It is refreshing to see someone “not a size 0-2” in a packing video. It’s not as easy to fold a size 18 down to a 4 inch square as it is a size 2! I have a variety of luggage sizes, from economy airline sizes to regular 21” carry-on. When flying Spirit, I’ve used space bags instead of packing cubes.
Thank you for your kind words!
You are amazing, thank you. I subscribe totally was said in other comments , these videos are always for s-size women and therefore not realistic for us who have medium to plus size
Thank you for subscribing. Glad this could help
This was so badass watching! I'm glad you decided to review these. Thank you!
just came from your other video! thank you for making this, i’m going to pack only dresses to save space for my laptop. i’m luckily staying over with my family so I don’t have to worry about shampoo and a straightener !!
I don't think I can do without the packing cubes. I stuffed them that's incredible all the stuff I put in them 🤣
Thank God for you! Win for the Big girls 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I’m so impressed. A gal after my own heart. You really are packing light. 👏
Thank you!
Halee thank you for making this video, I really loved to see everything you were able to pack and how organize you are 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words and watching!
You remind me of Mary Poppins pulling the mirror and coat rack out of her back…. Amazing!
Hi miss! Thank you for sharing this vlog. Thanks for the travel bag ideas!
You’re welcome 😊
I just got the personal item roller bag, it looks good. I just haven't gotten a chance to use it just yet, but looking forward to! Loved your review!
Great video..if I have a back pack I want to take when travelling I take a black dogs collar to use between the 2 front straps ..works like a charm..
Amazing content! Thank you for posting!
You are very welcome!
Really interesting informative video. Thank you from 🇬🇧🥰
Thank you for watching!
Great job one of the best reviews I've seen luggage looks great love to see them reviewed after a couple of 5 week trips through Canada....where I had luggage wrecked and Europe
I'm going to do a follow up on them. They've been through a few trips and are still kicking!
OMG! These bags are exactly what I need! I'm sending all of my brand new, hard sided luggage back and ordering 3 of each bag shown...the prices are amazing! I can get 3 of each piece shown...one for myself, my sweetheart and my mom...for less than 3 pieces if hard side luggage. Thank you!
My husband is obsessed with the backpack! They are perfect.
Keep in mind United personal item is even smaller than Spirit and Frontier at 17 x 10 x 9. I can’t use my normal under seat bag when I fly United. They have a human check your bag is to size when I always try to never pay for luggage, even with United, I can easily pack 5 days worth of clothes. Planning is key.
I have a new packing video coming out in about a week with some new bag options with this in mind.
Awesome video thank you for making this video
Just found your channel - great info on packing!
thank you!
I am not only a thicker person but I am also almost 6’ tall so a lot of my clothing is bigger and longer. I use compression packing cubes and they really work well for me.
Agreed
Fantastic video and like the last commenter, I am not a size 8 girl. Great information…thankyou
So glad it could help!
New subi as I’m getting into traveling more and I love all of your little tips and info! So glad I found you! Gonna be ordering one of these bags before my next trip for sure so thanks for this review!
I do have a question though, where do you carry the things you use on the plane like headphones, pillow, hand sanitizer, lotions, chapstick passport, money, and stuff?
Thanks!
I’m the sleeve and side pocket ❤️
I absolutely LOVE YOU and think you are fantastic! You are full of light and positive energy and I am so glad you have a RUclips channel, traveling everywhere, living your best life, and taking us along for the ride. Hit me up if you're ever in Portugal - we'll meet up! Go forth and keep conquering.
OMG thank you Halee! We're about the same size and it's great to see someone who looks like me pack this light. I need to adjust my packing list lol
Don’t get me wrong, I can pack big too lol
@@HaleewithaFlair oh so can I 😆 I'm trying to pack everything for my husband and I in one medium sized suitcase for our Mediterranean cruise on the Apex at the end of August. Trying to keep the luggage costs down...
Great video, thank you so much
thank you! new one coming soon!
Thanks for sharing this 👍
You are very welcome!
Just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for the video.
So glad you’re here ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Nailed it. Spectacular! Never gonna watch a packhacker video again with their laptop fetish.
Thank you lol
I love the videos. I watched your other video on packing a personal item for underseat storage before I recently traveled on Frontier Airlines. It was a successful trip, and the backpack did the job. Do the first 2 personal items you packed in this video still meet the measurement criteria below 18x14x8 when they are full?
Yes they do! I’m glad the last video helped you. ❤️
I have the first bag you showed, but haven’t used it yet. It looked too big to go under the seat, but after seeing yours in the baggage measurement bin, I think I’ll use it or I’m really tempted to get the rolling carryon! Great video! 👍🏼
Thank you for watching!
Did it work for you?
Great video! Thanks for the share! I found the backpack in purple (same brand) I have been looking for a backpack at max size within the size limits of Frontier! Thank you!! Happy Traveling!!
Hello Dee Dee, how do you like it? I've been waiting for the black backpack to become available but I'm considering the grey backpack.
I love it! I haven’t used it yet but it is way bigger than I expected and it will be perfect for a long weekend travel! I highly suggest it! Made of good material and you don’t lose any room because it is designed well. I saw the black and gray on the companies website. Looked to be in stock. Same price as Amazon.
Thanks
I like that you packed light without re-wearing outfits, like some videos I've seen. It's more realistic. I'm a thick girl and shorts can get wrinkled or I spill stuff.
I’m glad you liked it!
Great video thank you! Does the handle stretch up taller than you show or is it just a small telescopic handle to use on carry on? Hope this isnt a silly question but Ive ordered some weird pieces of luggage.
It stretches up pretty high
Great video. This underseater bag did not work for me[could be my packing technique]. I did like the bag tho, wish it came in brighter colors. I especially liked all the pockets on the side walls, nevertheless, I sent it back (cause I ultimately couldnt fit everything [bulky medical supplies were probably the real issue] and will just use my old samantha brown underseater bag [it expands up to a carryon when unfolded [she does not seem to sale it anymore tho]
Subscribed and binge watching! I know you wear mostly dresses, but how have you faired with plus size jeans, tops, sweaters...basically layering pieces?
I like the bombshell skinny jeans from torrid. I’m really into bike shorts right now too
I always travel with only a backpack, no matter how long I am gone
Amazing practical and real..love from London Uk ❤ I cannot carry as asthmatic so use wheelie type backpack which is cabin size but not under seat..here we have to pay more now! Also need to put in meds towels etc as would be long term with nowhere to leave things PLEASE whats another link or brqnd for third much more spacious bag...it s no longer available
Hey there! I'll be in London in November :-) I'm filming another packing video like this with a bunch of bags this week. Should be up this week or next.
Very nice to see you easy packing but how can we buy this travel bag with the 2 weeks we really like.thank you for showing we like your packing.can we just it as carryon.
thank you for watching!
Have you tried compression packing cubes? They are a total game changer!
Which one do you recommend - do you have a link - cheers from Canada 🍁
Hello Halee! It has been a year since you posted this video, are you still happy about your UNDERSEAT PRO bags? Are they durable? I own the backpack, I love it but I don't use it that often. I'm considering buying the carry on for my upcoming trip on August. Thanks!!
I'm still using them today!
Love the backpack!! We never even thought of shipping stuff to your hotel/resort. Do you only do bath products?
Sunscreen and bottled water too!
Always check the actual measurements of carryon and personal items on your airline website. I can tell just by looking that that backpack is too thick by at least two inches to be considered a personal item on the airline I always use.
What airline do you travel with?
It looks like it would fit. You can shove that under a seat it will compress down...
Greetings! Going on a week long trip and I’m looking for bag options. Unfortunately these bags are currently unavailable via Amazon and kinda pricey. Do you have any more recommendations as far as brands? Thanks!
I have another packing video with some more bags!
Hi, I am considering purchasing the carry on piece. Have you continued to use it? How has it held up to all your traveling? Thx
I'm still using them
LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4
Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it.
Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile...
These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon.
Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees.
Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers.
Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end.
If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape.
You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away.
Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case.
Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle.
Learn Half Windsor knot tying:
ruclips.net/video/S_ny-hrKqzU/видео.html
This knot does not loosen.
Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie.
Example: “Owner 454-333-7878”
No personal name necessary.
No address necessary on the ribbon.
Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color.
Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece.
Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case.
If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself.
Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible.
Pleasant color combinations:
Red, white and blue
Chartreuse and purple and orange
Orange and light blue
Orange and yellow
Gray and pink
Green and yellow
Red and Green
Red and Gold
Light blue and light green and white
The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan
Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights.
Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape...
To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape.
Tip #4
Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show.
Great tips
What kind of flat iron do you recommend for Europe? Are you booked on the Transatlantic cruise next year?
Is there a good personal backpack that holds enough items for a weekend, but can be used in the Disney park also? I got a backpack that fit my items but kept opening in the park and I almost lost some of my items.
I think this one would work for you. amzn.to/3LbmtaD
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want the backpack!! 😍 can you put the product link here? I don’t know if it’s available in Europe...

I just purchased two UnderSeat roller bags (13.75 x 16 x 8.5), do you see any potential issues with using them as both the carry-on & personal items? Thanks for the advice in advance :)
I've used both for both purposes. I've never had an issue.
You may need to revisit your Amazon links.
Some are dead, some are 'Currently Unavailable'. I'll be getting the underseat and the carry on, but cant get them using your links. :(
Could you share with me the links you were able to find for the same bag - I love the bags she recommends but it says not available - Cheers from Canada 🍁
I need an underseat bag with 4 wheels. Any suggestions
amzn.to/4dsZc0A
Hello Halee! I would like to buy the carry on but you don't have the link in your list 😞

Great video!! Do you carry a purse at all?
Sometimes a crossbody under a hoodie 😂
@@HaleewithaFlair ha ha, love it!!
Backpack is currently unavailable on Amazon. Helpful video . Thanks
More backpacks are on the way! Thank you for your patience
You're adorable. Ty for the vid 😉
Thank you for watching!
Hi Halee may I ask the weight of the carry on and the weight of the underneath bag thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I don’t really have that. On their own though, I’ll tell you that they are very light.
Hi Halee, can you give me the name on the first backpack you reviewed in this video? The link you gave out they were out of stock. I want to look up online for this bag, thanks.
underseat.pro/
I haven't traveled in a couple decades so I'm unfamiliar with all the new rules and regulations but could anyone explain, i thought we were allowed one personal carry on item and one overhead item per person. Is that true and if it is true does that mean we could take two of these items, claiming one as personal and one as overhead luggage?
It depends on the carrier and the seat type you purchase.
Great video- sadly many of the links say product unavailable - wish they had colored bags, not just black - love the bags - new to travel - do you have some info on packing liquids - so many rules and had not heard about shipping your shampoo/conditioner- I have thick hair and those teenie tiny travel bottles would never do - is it expensive to ship shampoo - do you ship other stuff too - Cheers from Canada 🍁
They launched a grey and a purple backpack, they are available on Amazon. They ship to Canada
@@peterjensen2094 Will have to look for that - thx for the info
@@MSGC55 You're welcome 🙂
Wis I could get that backpack in Uk as I really need a chest strap otherwise I get a sore back
Any outdoor/hiking store has backpacks with chest and waist straps.
@@missmayflower yes I did manage to get a travel backpack with a chest strap for upcoming trip to London with just an underseat allowance.
Love the thick lady comment 😀 I’m not as thick as you but love the fact that you have the confidence to wear a bikini wish I had some of that.
What brand is the roller one??
All under the seat pro brand. New video with that bag coming out tonight.
How would you pack for a winter vacation in a personal item
Definitely with vacuum roller bags and wearing my heavier pieces on the plane!
Can I use like the bags items come in from online the plastic zipper bags
to put your stuff in? @@user-bb1bx7zy8i

Please update the links to bags. They're sold out.
Hello N LeeM, our backpack is back in stock! Just follow the link to get yours before they're gone! Smash a like and follow Halee's channel. Thanks!
Too bad the Underseat bag is not for sale anymore. 😕
Hello Johnnie! More backpacks are on the way, They will be available in a couple of months
@@underseat_pro darn. I was hoping to it try over the new year as I have a tentative road/flying back home trip. But thank you anyways for the inside and update.
@@underseat_pro Hi Underseat. You commented a while ago on my comment regarding an inquiry for the personal item backpack offering. I was interested in the backpack but opted for the roll away personal item bag as it was the one that was available. So I’m reaching out to hopefully give you and your team some direct feedback as I am still very much curious about how much more functional the backpack would be in comparison.
Hello@@johnniecabral! Thank you for your message, and thank you for deciding to buy our under the seat rolling suitcase since the backpack hasn't been available for a while. We are expecting more backpacks in a couple of months. Feel free to contact us via DM on Instagram, we would like to hear your feedback about the foldable suitcase!
@@underseat_pro hi! I sent you the DM via Instagram. :-)
No longer available on Amazon
The under the seat foldable rolling suitcase is back in stock!
Hi Halee, great video
I love your blouse, would you mind sharing we’re did you buy it! It’s giving sexy!😊 Versace vibes! Love the thirty way to save money on baggage cost.
That Versace vibe is exactly why I got it lol. It is from torrid.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Being a bigger woman with big breast, I do the bra in the corner too! It's a great use of space. I was wondering if you could recommend some bralette brands that are good for bigger breasts.
I usually get them from Torrid. However I'm currently obsessed with the cross front sports bra from yitty!
Why would you ship any toiletries? They're pretty much available universally.
Sometimes, it's more expensive to buy and/or the availablity of certain items are not avaliable such as if one is allergic or sensitive to certain products
It has taken me a long time to find the right products because I am severely allergic to perfume - it is quite impossible for me to just walk into a store and buy off the shelf, especially in another country - Cheers Canada 🍁
Where do u put socks and undies?
those are in that smaller cube and you can put them in the pockets around the interior.
It's all good till you're 6'5 285 lb then you have to check a bag
Thank you for addressing the fact that thicker girl clothes take up more room. Cause it's a thing.
Exactly!
You got to understand that your bag cannot be more than 11pound
Here in the US airlines do not weigh your personal item.
Of course they are no longer available.
I have a new video that I’m working on right now. I’m going to compare a bunch of different bags. This company is a small, local, home owned so stock does go quick.
So no shorts, T shirts, workout clothing, socks, snorkel..
I don't wear shorts, t-shirts, work out gear or snorkels - yes, she did not show socks but I'm sure she had some - everybody has different choices - Cheers from Canada 🍁
Give yourself and the rest of us a break, always check all your bags.
Spirit, Frontier & United . the triumvirate of evil
Challenge... Now do a men's including jeans.
Stop. Talking. Get on wih it..
What kind of a comment is that - she is teaching us - cheers
You need to cover your shoes....
Why didn't you clean your brush?
Roll tighter and neater so you can fit more items in the same cube .. use a thick ziplock bag for undies, bikinis and non crease items and squeeze the air out.. vacuum packed bags are not a good idea..
Never use big cubes like that, it is best to use medium ones and small ones..
Even if you are TSA checked you need to adhere to the rules!
That toiletry bag is too bulky, you should use flat ones.
turn cubes on their ends and sides...
This is all about the bags not about the packing and you should have put in the discription and the title that this is an advert!
It’s mentioned in the beginning of the video that these were gifted. This is a rough draft pack and my family always backs like this without an issue. Plus size clothes pack a little different.

Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS
4 ribbons
1 designer ribbon
colored taped handle
stencil spray paint a 2” stencil letter or number or word to the suit case surface in addition to using all the ideas here.
Stencil spray paint a letter to the top ribbon.
Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”.
Put a travel sticker on the case.
Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN
Scales may vary at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a
HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE
It is less than $15.

This is an amazing tip love it. I always used one ribbon but makes sense more ribbons and more unique! Thanks!
