    I packed for 7 days in an underseat bag 2 years ago. I packed 3 changes of clothes and washed half thru the trip. Granted It was a mountain hiking trip so no fancy clothes needed. As a larger lady I have larger clothes so thats also a consideration when packing. I love my under seat bag.

    Wow, you did fit a lot in that bag! I purchased the very same and found it so convenient. Fit perfectly under a Southwest window seat. I was able to pack, 2 outfits,shoes, sweater, liquids bag, kindle, iPad, small empty purse, makeup bag, electronics cords, wipes, sanitizer, medication , snacks and water bottle and the contents of my purse in the outer pocket. It holds a lot! Great tips for minimalist packing Laurie.

    Lay out your clothing you intend to take, and at this stage you can have all your options laid out, and then select your capsule wardrobe. This has helped me. I generally take twice as many tops as I do bottoms. But I could get by with fewer bottoms, like 3/1. And remember that just because you are allowed 3.4oz, doesn't mean you have to take 3.4 oz! I've found containers that hold as little as .5oz and for some liquids, that's all I need!. I found out that 3.4 oz of shampoo and 3.4 oz of conditioner will last me 2 months - mind blown!

  • @annegousha9484
    @annegousha9484 Год назад +8

    Love your channel! It’s so helpful and I always learn something from you even though I have been traveling for many, many years and pride myself on packing light. My husband and I have not checked luggage in forever, whether we travel domestic or international, and we bought this bag that you are demonstrating today a few years ago and use it exclusively for domestic travel no matter how many days we are traveling. It’s an amazing piece of luggage and I highly recommend it! It holds SO much if you pack correctly and has fit perfectly under every seat on a flight I have taken. I will use this as my personal item for an upcoming international flight as it will hold everything I need access to in flight including a small handbag and fit under the seat and my small carry on goes in the overhead. This bag easily slides over the handle of my carry on so my hands are free. Thank you for sharing your experience using it with us.

I purchased the compression bags and am following your packing suggestions, not too much, just enough clothes and will coordinate with two pants, and a few tops. Will shop the second hand shops for fun and take home something! Thank you for all your awesome advise and sharing your experiences.

    Brilliant! Wasn't sure you could do it, but I should have had faith! Loved those neutral wedges that you didn't pack - just went and bought them! Hooking the liquids bag to the suitcase is another great hack!

    Hi, I have been enjoying your video a lot. I have traveled with just an underseater like yours to China in summer for 2 weeks. I am a petite person and I only wear simple type of clothes. All of your ideas are great but I have some ideas that you might like. It is to bring sheet masks that are very thin, usually comes in a thin ziplock like package. Use them instead of toner, That way I don't have to put them in liquid bag, and I can just slide in the side pocket or between clothes without adding bulk. And days go by, you have more space in your bag, because they are disposable. Another tip is to wear silk materials. If you have 3 silk t shirts, all combined and role them, instead of roll them individually, you can save a lot of space in the bag. Also silk material can dress up or down. And it dries quickly when you wash them. I only use cubes for sweaters of anything puffy and really stuff them in the cube. Let me know what you think, looking forward to more videos!

    I have used my daughter's old lunch bag that attaches to backpacks as my toiletry bag. It isn't so weird to see an adult with a kid walking through an airport with a mini mouse bag haha. But lunch bags can be cheaper than toiletry bags and they attach well, They also have that lining so if something spills it doesn't leak through as easily

    Love this video! I pack minimally as well, so I love to see what others bring. There's so much knowledge to share - we can all help each other.
    I have 1 oz and smaller bottles. I bring enough shampoo to wash my hair twice a week, a sliver of solid soap, a tiny tube of toothpaste, and cut my floss into the number of days I need - I put them into a tiny little ziploc bag. It gets easier to minimize once you've changed your mindset.
    I'm going to the Grand Canyon this summer, and it will be a different kind of trip to pack for. Planning (and watching your videos) is part of the fun!

    Your double sided glasses case just blew me away. I usually travel with 3-4 pairs of precription eye/sunglasses but they take up a ton of storage, if protected properly. You just saved me a ton of packing real estate. Just ordered via your AMZN link. Thank you!

    Just received the rolling under the seat bag you recommend here. Game changer!!! OMG! Didn't think there was any way this would work for a month taking trains around Switzerland and Austria this summer. Almost put it back in the Amazon box to return. I used this little suitcase, the packing cubes you recommend that squish down, and the black and white striped backpack. I was a pro photographer but not taking my gear since I've been going on RUclips and have learned how to get that quality out of my iPhone 14 Pro. :) 8 dresses, 4 workout/hiking (leggings, tops, bras), 8 pairs of socks, toiletries, 2 sweaters, pareo to cover my shoulders and wrap around as a swimsuit coverup, swimsuit, long sleeve bamboo hoodie to layer, 1 pair sandals, 1 pair white tennis shoes to go with dresses. Clothes washing strips to do laundry. I can't believe I'm going for a whole month in these 2 little bags! Now I have to go unpack all this and get back to cleaning house. LOL Laurie, I couldn't have done this without your guidance! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! And my husband thanks you since he won't have to carry my bag along with his as we run to catch our trains. Mahalo!

    • @kimcarroll1129
      @kimcarroll1129 Год назад +4

      @@TravelTipsbyLaurie LOL. I have a pair of Carrumas that are sleeker than a running shoe. I love the look of a crisp white tennis shoe on anyone with a little sundress. Taking a pair of white Clark’s sandals too. I would just do the sandals but I’ll end up with foot problems not changing out my shoes. Wearing my running shoes on the planes. 😝. I only wear sundresses even at home. I like Billabong, Quicksilver and other surf shop brands because they make little dresses that are cooler when it’s hot out. And they’re all thin so I can wash in the sink, hang to dry. Leggings are all Lululemon so they can be washed out too I’ll use the hotels’ hair dryers so not packing that. I’m taking the True Earth laundry detergent strips so I don’t have to deal with liquid. And they’re small. Using the contact case trick for my Vit A and C serums and cream deodorant. I would love to see an video on traveling with little sundresses. I couldn’t find one anywhere on RUclips when making my packing list. They take up way less space than shorts and tops. I’m 60 but still look to the 20 something’s for some of my fashion cues. Tennis shoes with sundresses are the bomb! Hard to find a more comfortable outfit. 😝.

    Hi Laurie! I just discovered your channel and I’m loving your tips and your energy! I have found SO MANY great travel bags and accessories because of you. I have always considered myself a pretty decent packer but I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis so I’m trying to up my game and lighten my load to save my poor back.
    This video is very close to how I pack. I call it Tetris-Ing (like the game) my bag.😂
    The way I do it is to pack in layers. So you put as many of your biggest items you can in the bottom, fill the gaps on the sides with the medium, then small, then tiny until you have an even layer, then repeat until full. It won’t look as pretty and organized but you can fit a lot that way.
    One tip I can add is that in the winter you can pack puffy coats last and use the suitcase as a compression bag of sorts to smush it down and really secure your items.
    Oh!! And my absolute favorite hack! Wrap your necklaces in Saran Wrap for compact, no tangle storage.

I'm planning a 2 month Europe trip with one backpack only (8kgs is the max for the airlines I'll be flying), so all of these tips and tricks are useful! The other tip I've heard recently is to actually weigh each of the items you're planning on taking, I was so surprised at how much some of the items I'd planned to take weigh, they'll be swapped out for something else!

    My travel tip is get a blow out the day before or day of trip. This way you don’t have to wash and style for a few days trip. You can wear a satin scrunchie in messy bun to bed to keep hair tame. This works if you’re not swimming or sweating a lot

    Thank you for this video. I’m going to be taking my first flight ever to Europe this summer for a 10 day trip. I’m terrified of if I pack for overhead luggage there won’t be room for it and getting it checked so I’m wanting to pack in an under seat bag for this trip. The clothes ideas were a big help.

    Laurie, I have watched all of your videos. You are the only person I have seen who suggests that you don’t have to pack shoes together. Best tip ever. My biggest issue is that I have so many medications and skin issues. I have to pack toiletries that are prescription or online purchases. I do decant them, but we are going to Europe for 3 weeks and I have to keep some meds in original containers which takes up so much space! I’m a carry on only girl these days thanks to you!

      We are going to Mexico in April and I was worried about my RX too. After some thought I came up w the little plastic pill baggies they sell in the pharmacy. They are aprox 2”x 2”. And they are super cheap. I asked the pharmacist if I could bring those in and have the stickers they put around the bottles reprinted in Spanish and stuck onto a baggie for each RX. They said they could do that 🎉 the only thing is is that they have to be the ones to put the stickers on. That was w Walmart. My MIL’s pharmacist (A small locally owned pharmacy) said they would do this too but they wanted her to bring in her pills and they would put the stickers on and put the amount of pills she would need for the trip in the baggies for her. Not sure what that accomplishes but hey, they’ll do it and it’ll save space in her suitcase. Hope this helps you too. I will be trading 6 RX bottles for 6 tiny baggies!🎉

      @magangramm5685 Год назад

      You could probably do some creams like this too as long as they were on the thicker side and you made double sure the baggie was closed and you put all your little baggies maybe in a snack or sandwich sized baggie to protect against accidental leaks. Maybe, possibly??🤷‍♀️

    Subscribed to your channel about 4 months ago, as we we’re planning a 15 day Europe trip. We used your tips and packed with carryon and personal bag. It was the greatest. On the next to the last lag of trip, we decided to check our carryon for several reasons. Although my husband’s bag and my daughter’s made it, my bag was lost. I am so thankful I had watched your videos, so I had almost everything I needed for 3 days in my personal item bag. It took all the stress out. The airline found my bag before we left Italy, so that was good. Thanks for your tips; saved my trip to Rome.

I've traveled with a carry on for the last 50 to years along with a backpack (that only holds meds .. though I've managed to tuck in the odd t-shirt, etc. whatever fits and is needed). Travel is so much easy this way and so glad more are finding this way of packing too. I can easily survive 😂 with just carry on/med bag for over a month!

After seeing this video, I decided to try again. I am now on a trip, using this case for my clothes, slippers and toiletries (and a makeup pouch with my laundry room in a bag), and the laptop backpack you recommend for my laptop, book and documents, electronics organizer, hotel cook/mess kit, and food/beverage stash. It works! And is compact enough to keep in my car all the time as my emergency just-in-case motel kit without taking up all the space.

    I always save the smaller sample jars/containers from makeup counter samples or gifts at the department store to decant liquid make up and face creams for travel. Also, for travel in countries (Europe!) where you are rarely given washcloths I take an old washcloth and cut it into 4 squares- I use them and leave behind as I travel so no wipes or cotton pads needed. It really saves space and for a 2 week or so journey it's more then enough!

    I was able to travel to Aus and NZ for 32 days in a bag this size and a Le Pliage tote. Temps ranged from 30F to 90F and we enjoyed the countryside, the cities, the desert and the GBR. It’s all about being thoughtful and knowing your style…I also concede that having a small foot helps as shoes over a size 6 or 7 may not fit as easily into that bag. Finally, I did some “surgery” to cut out the clear plastic divider pouch. That opened a LOT of space in the Lucas 16” Underseat Rolling bag.

      Very exciting. A small tip someone gave me when I flew with my toddler, bring very small wrapped new toys for them. Don’t let your child know you have them so random times through the flight they can unwrap a new toy that should keep there attention for awhile. This was a big hit for my daughter and helped tremendously. And if something like a Barbie doll we’re in a box, I took them out of box before wrapping to save room and trash later on.

    Love this video ! This is what I am using mostly is under the seat bag. I have a really nice travelon rolling suit case. It’s more the traditional look with the wheels built in the suitcase. So easy to roll through airports and also it’s able to fit the more inexpensive airlines. All free. No extra charges since it’s my all in one bag. Most of all I’m not stuck if they say there’s no more room in the overhead bins. My bag is all black with so many pockets and hidden storage, it’s well built. I fit a very small RFID travelon crossbody purse inside. Until I get on the plane then this comes out. Learned this tip and the RIFD from you. Learning to live with out and reusing clothes while traveling is ok with me. A must have is to take the tide pen lol I rarely spill anything but just in case. I bring more light weight tops. Wear all heavy clothes during the trip up and back. Makeup is minimal small pieces. I only bring basics and lotions used in tiny containers. I always bring my own shampoo / conditioner. But all in a travel size containers a weeks worth goes a long way. I usually have just one more pair of small shoes or just wear the pair I have on as long as they are versatile and comfortable is key for me. I’m still able to dress super cute with what I bring. Always on the look out for the weather of course is key 😊
    I hope you make a video for those of us who plan to travel with a small 10lbs dog under the seat. I also have a dog stroller planning to bring this. Would love to know your tips on this.
