I will share 37 travel hacks for packing a carryon bag for the airplane, for the hotel, and for the airport. This is a long list of tips and tricks I have been gathering for 2 years of travel so these will help you. Many of the packing hacks are inside this Bento Bag by Nomad Lane who is sponsoring this video. The number one travel hack is to pack essentials in your personal item bag. This tip makes more space in your carryon.
Another hack is to pack an extra vacation outfit in a compression cube. Slide it in this underseat personal item bag like you would a laptop.

Here is the ultimate packing list for toiletries: bit.ly/TipsPackToiletries

@janicehendrix4496 2 года назад

When I travel especially international, I always grab a hotel business card and if we need to take a taxi back to the hotel, we just show the driver the business card..has saved us many times when the driver doesn't speak English.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Oh I love that idea Janice!

@stinkygraykitty6808 2 года назад

Ooooh good idea Janice!!

@wcwright44 2 года назад

Excellent suggestion. Just back from Prague and Germany and this suggestion worked great. My river boat had their location number on their card.

@arunarao7335 2 года назад

Yes really helpful especially if language is an issue. Hotels usually type the hotel name in the local language too

@happyhmr1 2 года назад

I use my phones map app and pin drop the location I am staying and when I enter the taxi I show the driver the location I need to get to and I can track the distance to make sure they aren’t taking the long route. They see it as well.

@tnewman924 2 года назад

I tried so many backpacks for traveling (not for hiking). I didn't like that they tended to collapse into themselves or fall over when free standing, or that everything fell to the bottom and I could not find what I was looking for. One day I was at target trying to find something better than what I had when I came across the baby aisle. It was then I discovered that what I was looking for was a diaper bag! I found that the storage and pockets made so much sense, it was available in adult colors, and it stood up on its own. This is now my new travel best friend.

@Joy-mm3cz Год назад

Just found your channel and I’m obsessed. I consider myself a seasoned traveler traveling to Europe in a carryon for over 17 yrs. I LOVE the hack about soaking the cotton balls in makeup remover ahead of time. Didn’t know that wouldn’t be a liquid when just damp. ❤️

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yay thanks so much!

@joygouge236 2 года назад

My travel tip is for my jewelry. I use a plastic travel soap dish. Also use a drinking straw for my necklaces. Place one end of the necklace through the straw and attach it at the bottom. It keeps them from tangling.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Yes, great hack!

@calmdowngurl Год назад

Amazing tip for necklaces 👏

@debrakemp669 2 года назад

In my hotel room, I always immediately do these things: I take out and clean the air conditioner filters, i clean them in the bathroom sink or bathtub or shower, i ask for extra shampoo to use to clean the filters. Wipe ac buttons with sanitizer wipes, too. I also bring ziplock baggies to put the tv remotes in. So i don't touch those icky buttons. Remote works inside the baggie. Another hack is immediately wipe all door knobs or handles inside and outside with sanitizer wipes, also all dresser, cabinet, and closet knobs and all wall light switches and those on the lamps as well. Wipe Fridge handles and microwave buttons too. Buttons on the safes, too. Be safe and enjoy your trip!!

@fattony9227 5 месяцев назад

I do most of the tips you mentioned but I like the idea of using plastic bags on remotes. In addition, I usually pay more attention to coffee making equipment. I clean the water kettle and NOT use any drinking glasses or coffee cups supplied by the hotel. I bring my own coffee cup and use paper cups for water drinking. I stay away from using hotel cutlery, use plastic spoons and forks, wash dishes and bowls thoroughly with hot water and soap. I would not use the bathroom robes either.

@wendysimpson134 2 года назад

Lush sells tins for their shampoo bars that fit them perfectly so no wet bars! Also, if you take two rubber bands and wrap them around the open tin (make like a little trampoline for the bar) and set your bar on top, it lets your bar dry out between uses so it’s not a gloopy mess on the bottom of the wet tin if you’ve kept it in the shower 👍🏻

@deniseharwood9521 2 года назад

So smart! Might try this for the bar soap they give for the sink.

@joycebeard7218 2 года назад

I was told by Lush employee to dry the soap by standing it on its edge in the tin before storing.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

I did buy the tin, but if the soap is wet, I felt like it would get goopy. Love the bar and employees!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Thanks because mine gets goopy at home in the tin.

@busygal1959 2 года назад

I have wax paper in the bottom of the tin.

@jow.2450 2 года назад

Ironing board for a luggage rack when sharing the room with your family. You can raise and lower it to fit the various heights of your family.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Love love those ideas Jo!

@franniehatch3651 Месяц назад

Some people put them against the door. If the door is opened, then the ironing board crashes down on the floor and everyone eithrr has a heart attack or flees.

@yvonneboggus363 2 года назад

Another gem of a video Laurie!!! I have the Bento bag and it is a game changer. Between that and my Away bigger carryon and your tips, no more checking bags for me unless going on extended trips. Thank you for your tips!!! 🤗

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Ooh, you can fit it all in!

@MJ-sx7jn 2 года назад

Tip: go to the dollar store & buy the cheap house slippers! At the end of your trip, you can just toss it! I did this for my 2 week trip to Hawaii last month! Saved me from wearing shoes around the condo I stayed at… my family was jealous 😂

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Brilliant hack!

@Megannicole-ve4qj 2 года назад

Yes! I get a pair of these every time, except I wear them ON the airplane since they’re comfier than wearing shoes on a long haul.. then throw em out 😷

@wcwright44 2 года назад

Excellent tip. I requested a robe and slippers from my hotels and river cruise. The slippers were huge but luckily I packed the disposable pair too so it worked out great.

@ohmcintyre2067 2 года назад

Lots of good ideas here! Just yesterday I reorganized the 5 pouches that I keep in my personal bag. ( I keep them packed so I can grab it whether for flying or driving.)1. Liquids/personal hygiene 2. Tech (charger, power bank, flash drive, cords for the different sort of plugs - although I plan to order an all-in-one cord before next big trip), cheap earbuds, and car charger 3. “Office” - pen, pencil, highlighter, small memo book, small pad of post-its, a few paper clips, binder clips, rubber bands, a 6in ruler/bookmark, and a lint-free glasses cleaning cloth 4. Miscellaneous - mini-first aid kit, sewing kit, tiny lint brush, mirror, alcohol wipes, a couple of clothes pins, tweezers, nail clippers, emery board, plastic fork and spoon, Tums, advil, and nighttime nose strips (plan to add some earplugs, too) 5. “Fabric” - a thin washcloth and extra pair of undies (these after I once spent 24 hours in the Newark airport☹️) and now an extra mask. I use a simple mid-size zippered tote and all 5 pouches together take up less than half the space and prepare me for almost anything ( although I do wish someone would make a travel size of scotch tape). At the end I add a book, iPad, and small crossbody bag with phone, wallet and travel docs.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Okay, you should make a RU-vid video! This helps me visualize things in a way that I can teach others. Thank you for sharing these ideas. I'll make them into a video one day. Love it!

@ohmcintyre2067 2 года назад

Oh, and also, I have an empty collapsible water bottle (from the camping dept) and add snacks at the end, too.

@laurahupf1945 Год назад

I bring a few of my favorites washi tapes which I wrap around a small peace of cardboard. Only the first inch looses its adhesive properties, and the rest is good as tape or craft tape if working on a traveler’s notebook. Thanks for sharing your list and how you divide items up!

@lisabarter7918 Год назад

consider just taking a refill roll of scotch tape. Every time you use it, fold back the end so you can easily start it again. Also, you can mark the inside of your memo book with inches and eliminate the ruler.

@emaxxtheemijj 2 года назад

Thank you! As a first time flyer, your information helped me overcome my anxieties. Although they dumped my food bag inside my carry-on, I expected a little pushback because you helped me pack my bags TOO perfectly! Thank you!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Way to go! Thanks.

@lindabublitz5168 2 года назад

That nite ize buglit is amazing! We always travel with a regular plug in night light for onboard cruise ships as it gets really, really dark at night on the water and someone always need to make the nocturnal washroom trip. This will take up much less space and could be set up anywhere. Thanks again Laurie, I always learn something new each video.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Totally agree! I love it.

@cbahm 2 года назад

Tip: I couldn’t find actual shower caps anywhere (for packing my shoes in so the soles don’t get packed clothes dirty). But at Sally’s Beauty Supply I found a bag of 30 clear hair covers (that salons use for some coloring processes) for about $3.

@rebekahfrye7934 2 года назад

For walking through security barefoot, I save those little plastic shower caps from hotels and slip those onto my feet , then just toss them. Works great!

@PaulaFlatt-vt1pz 6 месяцев назад

Laurie I love your channel!!! My sister and I are in our mid 50’s and just started traveling. Your channel has been so much help with all the tips, tricks, hacks and info from other travelers. I have purchased some of the items you recommend for a trip to Denver in Feb. Again thank you all so much for sharing.

@mmorden9938 2 года назад

Absolutely LOVE the Bento bag……. I have been using it every weekend to go to the cottage this summer!!! It holds easily 5 days for me

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Great tips shared by my viewers too.

@jenharvey3397 Год назад

I love your videos Laurie! I always learn something new. You just mentioned using the no show socks over your regular socks. Another tip is to grab a couple of extra stocking toes they have boxes of in shoe stores, then you can just toss them in the trash after going through security.

@12Gaile 2 года назад

Loving your tips. I have not flown in 2 years & have a couple of trips planned. Before this I flew quite often but now feel like a newbie. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you so much for your videos.. Safe travels Laurie ❤️✈️🌹

@melodymills5432 2 года назад

Congrats on hitting 100K. Got all excited to get notified of another Laurie video. Excellent tips as always. When you take the picture of your parking area, double check to make sure you can read it. Nothing worse than getting back to the airport after a glorious vaca and seeing that the picture is washed out due to a light or a flash. Have a glorious day.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

So true! Sounds like it’s happened to you?

@lorihamlin3604 2 года назад

Happened to me recently. Arrived at airport at 5am, took pics and discovered when I returned at 1am my pics were not adequate. Fortunately it was well lit lot and found car in ab 20 minutes. I’ll make sure next time pics are good.

@l.alexandra5871 2 года назад

Congrats getting to to 100,000K. The skirt/trousers hanger to make sure the drapes stays close is brilliant! Taking photos of the luggage. Our checked luggage has gone missing more than once. Having the photo (great idea thanks!) and even writing down the manufacturer’s model or style # is also really helpful.

@2cmrinhfx 2 года назад

Excellent as always. I travel a lot and have used many of your hacks/ suggestions. Ive come ups ith a few of my own too , but really loved using the ironing board as a table or a place to spread your stuff out!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

It's so helpful right?

@Marant1000 2 года назад

I use disposable paper shoe covers on my feet whenever I have to remove my shoes. They take up very little space. I use them once and then toss them. You can also use them as shoe covers in your suitcase.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Thanks!

@mystifrazier5823 2 года назад

LOVE your videos! I just wanted to mention that going through check point with a CPAP: you have to open the bag and lay it beside your bin. I have been told at two large airports that you cannot pack extra items in that bag. I’ve been pulled aside to repack or throw items away. Same for my husband. This has been very recent. TY!

Love the gallon bag idea for umbrella. I have bought a couple of boxes of gallon bags and quart bags to organize things and keep dry. I also got a door stop, and I have a 2 inch cowbell (stuffed for travel) that I will hang on the doorknob in hotels as an alert. I will be wearing an under-clothes security belt, and my passport will always be ON me and hidden except when needed for airport security. I used it in Egypt in 2000-2001, and my next big trip is next year. Thanks, Laurie!!!

@l.alexandra5871 2 года назад

Love your videos. You’re so charming, generous to give credit to those who’ve shared ideas and so super smart with great ideas. As an inveterate traveler who is also super neat, organized and almost OCD about how to pack I’m humbled and delighted at your amazing advice. I won’t even let my son pack when he’s off for a week with his friends - he always wants to look good but take the smallest bag so he doesn’t look like he cares. I manage to get everything in by using many of your ideas. (Then I make him listen as I tell him which pocket and which side has this or that in it otherwise total chaos) I’m so glad to learn about the packing cubes for clothes. I’ve used them for big items like pillows and quilts (the kind you vacuum the air out) but these cubes for clothes sound fantastic! I would love to have one outfit easily accessible for each of us, and my PJs for when I arrive and want to crawl into bed. I also like to keep that one outfit or a different top and pants just in case you spill something and you’re all wet mid-flight. I think I tend to travel to certain places or hotels that have more frills or services but it doesn’t mean your ideas are not just as applicable - you want to be smart and safe wherever you go. I so much appreciate your advice

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Yay! Thank you. Yes, we only take carryon since we fly standby so hopefully my tips help.

Congrats Laurie on 100k....so well deserved!! Another great video! And ugh just came back from a short trip to Colorado with blisters!! I will have to try your hack on that! From now on will always have bandaids with me...lesson learned!! Here's a video idea.....packing for 2 destinations with different weather patterns. We took an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago but stayed in Seattle for a few days to sight see. Alaska was cold and rainy. Seattle was very hot and sunny. It was a challenge between all the weather gear, having dress outfits and needing shorts. We really struggled with that one!! Love all your videos!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Yes, it's the shoes that take up all the room for those seasons of travel! I do have one. Great idea to make it into a different title video though.

@wcwright44 2 года назад

Used the compression cubes on my trip to Europe recently. They are fabulous! I alternated panties and socks in one cube so I could just grab and go everyday. The cubes not only saved room in my luggage and in my drawer space, they kept me organized during the trip. Game changer!

Congrats on reaching 100,000. Love your video's. My daughter who has been to 56 countries as a solo traveler has a great hack she uses in her hotel room. After checking where the emergency EXIT is on her hotel floor , she always leaves her shoes by the hotel room door Pointing in the direction of the EXIT. This is especially useful when you are constantly changing hotels in various countries.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Yes yes! That was in my very first hack video. Someone had given me that idea. Helpful

@marym3663 2 года назад

Brilliant! Especially if changing multiple hotels on one trip.

Congrats on 100K!! Had to break down and organize/stow my travel gear! I used carryons and suitcases for containers. Lg suitcase: cruising/flying/rentals essentials, Carryon 1: packing cubes, bags, disposable bags, etc., Carryon 2: toiletries (bought storage baskets to hold dental, soaps,etc. extras) and lastly kept my tote/backpack stuff in a backpack! Still looking forward to your video to help me better organize these!!

Thanks for sharing!! It's taking me forever to prepare that video.

Hi Laurie, I just got the Bento bag and am so happy that you have endorsed it too! It's so great when one's decision is validated ! Love your channel!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

I agree; it's a great bag and holds so much!

@lisaolson6823 Год назад

The Bento bag is really nice, but it is large once filled. For a person with a smaller frame (5'1-120#) it can be a bit difficult to maneuver, even with the shoulder strap.

@arlenel9583 2 года назад

Woo hoo!! You earned those 100,000 subscribers, and I join everyone here in congratulating you. Thanks for the mention to pounce the packed suitcase to settle the contents, after which you can stuff a few more things in! I use that hack every time. Another hack I use to get in an extra pair or two of jeans or slacks: lay them out flat (alternate waist bands if more than one), put a packed and full packing cube dab-smack in the middle of them, then fold each side over the cube like a package. This eliminates the need to try and stuff them in somewhere.

@OhhSnap03 2 года назад

This is such an amazing video, and congratulations on hitting 100K! My parents recently sent me your page and I think I binged all of your videos within just a few days, because they are so helpful!! Through your recommendation, I purchased the striped backpack from Amazon, the packing compression cubes, and the tech organizer you've shown in a few videos! My S/O and I are traveling to California in a few weeks and I am so excited to implement the travel tips you've shared on our trip! :)

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

You are so sweet to give me this feedback. Thank you!!

@lindamirarchi8535 2 года назад

Hey Laurie, I just returned from Paris & used so many of your fabulous travel hacks. Here's a few more: 1) pack Olay water-activated, non-alcohol face towelettes (light & gentle on face & hands); 2) wash cloths aren't always provided as standard linens in Europe so stuff a couple in your bag and; 3) packed a silicone liquids tube with pain/ache gels as the tube squishes into small spaces.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Thanks!

@alexbishop5870 2 года назад

Fabulous bag - I got it on Kickstarter before the pandemic! Can’t recommend it highly enough!

@christyluster3517 2 года назад

It's great your doing so well. Your one of the first travel hacks person's I started watching.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Thank you so very much!

@oma9944 2 года назад

I have truly enjoyed your travel tips. Here’s my tip when traveling to Europe. We live on the East Coast. A few days before we depart, I wake up an hour earlier each morning. On the day of our flight, I am up at 3 AM which is 9 AM in Central Europe. I easily “slide into” that time zone and I’m not groggy or waking up in the middle of the night. Happy Travels!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Great idea!!

@susandiekmann 2 года назад

Congrats on the 100k subscribers, Laurie! Your tips are always helpful and your presentation of them is always fun and positive. Those zippers (not Y2K but YKK) are something I always look for now. One question about that awesome Bento Bag - What does it weigh? With every compartment and divider, that's extra material, so I wondered if it makes it a bit heavier. That is some SERIOUS organization in a personal item, and I'm all for that! That little nightlight "bug" is so cool! You've influenced me yet again. 😀

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

I am getting that bug too! I mentioned it in the video...I think it's 2.7 pounds empty. Thanks for your support.

@ericlloyd663 Год назад

Congratulations on reaching 100k!!! 🎉🎉🎉. This latest video is excellent, as always!!! I appreciate your advice and am taking notes for my next trip. I use binder clips to keep cords neat and I bring extra Ziploc bags in 3 sizes: snack, quart & gallon freezer - none of them take up space, but they come in handy. I also did not pack any shampoo, conditioner or toothpaste because I could buy it at a store on the way to my hotel or relatives house. I also always have a travel case of Qtips in my carry-on. I also discovered I only needed to take one eyeshadow palette that I could use dry for shadow and wet for liner - 2 uses in one item. I also bought a travel size mascara at Sephora, which, even though it was waterproof, would come off without using a special eye makeup remover. Also, pick a palette that has colors to double as blush! I would also suggest that if you've used the liquids out of your bag, and they are travel size, toss them before you fly home - less weight to lug around. I hope you like my ideas! ☺️. God bless you, Laurie!!! 🙏😊💜. Valerie from Kansas

Congrats on 100,000! I absolutely love the organization of that bag! Unfortunately I'm no longer able to carry something like that due to a bad shoulder.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Thank you for watching Tammy!

I also prefer her hands-free backpack suggestion which I have used for international and domestic travel.

@wandrousvindella716 2 года назад

100K !!!! Excellent & extensive vlog~ just gets better! Thanks for the call out, as my husband thinks I'm part bloodhound. Great review on the bento box & if it had backpack capability I would buy it. I'm still using my hot pink tape & lime frog green for the hubby. (Now I'm thinking a bento for my hubby to use for future Airstream travel.) That mask was genius for blisters and reminds me of the time in Peru that an Always thin pad was used in a similar situation. And now I need a LUSH visit on my next trip "home"....so helpful Laurie

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

Thanks for watching!!

@viridian4573 Год назад

Agreed. Backpack straps would make it the perfect bag.

@annamaria7417 2 года назад

Great idea to use a cord case for hair ties! I'm going to do that next time. I haven't gone anywhere except two beach weekends for tao year come April and I would love to go somewhere!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 2 года назад

I hope you get to!
