Great tip about the Turkish towel! I have a dedicated pair of thin black leggings, a black t-shirt and a pair of undies in a ziplock baggie at the bottom of my personal item. I don’t even take them out upon return. They live there. Never know about sudden turbulence that may spill my or the person beside me drink. I also keep a travel pillow “zippered pillowcase 12 x 20” in case I want to put my jacket, sweater, etc in it and then use that as a pillow. Always enjoy your tips and content!

Thanks for an honest, realistic down to earth video where you really show what is needed ❤

After much research and before seeing your videos, I chose the same bag a few years ago when I needed a new one. I absolutely love it and get many compliments. It is a great bag not just for travel. Thanks for all your travel tips!!!

Your worksheets will be so handy for my upcoming trip! I’ll be riding with my brother to his home and then return home by plane. Of course, lots to do in between. Thanks to you, I’ve learned how to lower my stress level while traveling.

I just ordered this bag from Amazon so that I can pack it the same way you did. That’s how good this video is! ❤

I just got back from 11 months traveling around the world. Great suggestions. Also will not leave without a Turkish towel. Use as a wrap, beach towel, to roll up and help dry clothes washed in the shower or sink, and for picnics. Have the same backpack :) Love it!

I love that backpack because of the wide opening at the top and laptop sleeve.

I bought that backpack, and my sister liked it so much she bought one too! I will be using it for the first time soon when I fly to my cruise port.

Well done! I have a similar back pack and agree with the chosen items. One thing that I have recently started packing is a bumbag, it would replace your bag that has the tissues, etc in it. I can hang the bumbag from the tray in front of me. While the tray is closed, it is right there in arms reach, yet out of my way. Just a thing to share… safe travels!

Sooooo timely as I’m off to Canada for a month soon and am going to try travelling by carry-on only for the first time!! Wish me luck!!!

I just got this backpack for Christmas, im so excited to use it!

Totally agree on the noise cancelling headset. I used to get headaches on the plane, but the headsets has eliminated that.

Thanks for the suggestions! Only things I would add is in addition to the sanitizing wipes would be some personal wipes and I always bring some snacks.

I had never heard of travelling with a Turkish towel. I did some reasearch on them and have now bought a few to travel with. Thanks for the tip.

I bought that particular backpack for my upcoming trip. Now i know how to pack it. Thanks.

I just received the identical backpack (17”), as a present from my kiddo. I saw it on your video and that’s how I found you! It was great to see how I can pack it for my next trip. Also, I always pack my meds, supplements, jewelry and a change of underwear/pants/shirt in a compression bag - preparedness for the unknown. Thanks for the info!

That color looks great on you!

Hi Lori thank you for the video I love your backpack it holds so many things but not to bulky. Yes i carry or wear something to keep me warm on the plane as I get cold to. Thank you for the tips. Have a great day.

I use a small crossbody bag that has my passport/wallet/phone, charging cord, gum, tissues, etc in it that I might want on the plane. I put the bag in the personal item when boarding the plane since that would be 3 items along with the carry-on bag. I then wear the crossbody bag on the plane. That way I have my passport and wallet on me when I go to the bathroom (I sometimes travel alone and don't want to leave those at my seat) and usually never have to pull out my personal item from under the seat in front of me during the flight.

I have that exact bag and I love it!

I have the same bag and LOVE it!

Subscribed! Very practical & organised😊

I love your Tiffany frames! I have Tiffany frames for my glasses and prescription sunglasses.

I have the same backpack and love it!

I just subscribed to your channel because I love your content!!

Very helpful, thank you 👍👍👍

Nice video. I have already bought some of the items.

I put a compression cube filled with a top, bra and undies in the bottom of my bag, just in case there is no room in the overhead bin and my carry on needs to be checked. I also have a tiny pouch with any jewellery, my cross-body bag with my wallet, sunglasses, reading glasses and cleaner cloth, all of my spare batteries and all of my medication. I have a problem because my injectable medication need to be kept cold so I have a zippered bag with cold pack inside which the drug company gave me (along with a letter stating my dr's prescription). My laptop is 17 inches and you were so kind to say that one fits in the bag!

Thanks Lori I Got Mine Yesterday.

I like your set up for charging your cell and watch. I am going to do the same set up. Thank you

Thanks!

I carry a handkerchief, mints/gum and a pen in addition to what you show. Also, snacks and herbal tea bags (in case I want a hot beverage that's not coffee).

I am always either hot or cold on planes. I usually wear a t-shirt and take a cardigan. Once we were stuck in a plane for two hours on a hot tarmac in some Asian airport with no air conditioning on!!!!! it was hot and I was so glad I only had a t shirt on. Later on in the flight and we were up up and away it was cold, very glad to have my cardigan. You just never know. I always have spare undies also. Love your back pack but since I am old now, 72, I am thinking along the lines of an underseat wheeled bag. One that can go on top of my wheelie bag to be piggybacked. I always use check in because I am small and old and can't get luggage up in the cabin luggage racks. I don't want to bother the staff when they are very busy with everyone and nor do I want to bother the other passengers so I simply check in my bag. Even still it's not a big bag, I still have to lug it all over the place and if there are no lifts. Yep, you know what I mean. Small, old ladies need to be organised so that lugging luggage is not an arthritis hurter!!!! LOL

Please ad a mod shot. I would love to see the bag on your shoulder and on your carry on bag. Thanks for all the info.

I always travel with a nail clipper and emery board handy because it seems that I always break a nail at some point.

How are the backpack shoulder straps? Are they padded enough?

I did not sanitise my area enough on my last trip and ended up wth COVID for the entirety of my vacation! Won’t forget next time 😅

Hey Lori, I think that you are going to struggle getting Chuck trained for your Europe trip. 😁😁😁😁 Watching him complaining about the the cost of everything will be hilarious. 😁 And the constant reference to how things are/ cost in Thailand will be draining. 😁😁😁😁 Good luck Lori.😁😁😁😁😁😁

Your travel tip video will become my go-to resource for planning trips! 🗺 Btw, have you heard about the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? It seems like it could elevate your travel experiences! 🌟🎒

I love the looks of your pink backpack. Which size do you select the 15 or 17 inch? If I carry the 17 inches, will there be enough room under the seat? Thank you for the travel tips. I don't travel overseas often but I'm taking an 11-day trip to Spain and Portugal in September. Any specific tips for these 2 countries.

I can't decide between the 15 inch and the 17 inch Falanko backpack. Is there a reason you chose the 15 inch over the 17 inch?

Hi, Lori! Just wondering what additional items you would pack in your personal item bag for a long plane ride. I have the backpack you have and several of the other items you showed. Our flight time for our next big trip (the first we’ve taken in several years) is over 9 hours!

I just rewatched this video I got a similar type backpack and am packing essentials for any type of trip...then i can add I have an extra shirt, shorts, socks and underwear. I added the turkish beach towel like you suggested I grab and stow this backpack even on day trips Thanks for sharing Are you meeting up wuth Chuck and Paige soon on the cruise?

Thanks! Traveling soon and will get some of these things. What is the name of your landlord life channel? I can't find it. Just subbed to your boat life and will watch that soon. You have a great personality!

How much is laptop weight just curious and how much does this backpack weight when packed pleased. I like solid items like shampoo bar etc brilliant tip re solid moisturiser bar..

Вы очаровательны в очках🫠

I heard a change of clothing is needed i in tbe personal bag in case one is forced to CHECK your Carry On and it gets lost.

Where is your top from? I absolutely love the color?

The airlines consider toothpaste as a liquid and require it to be packed in a quart size clear ziplock bag with other liquid products. 😊

How are you friends ❣️ nice shareing video

Does this bag come in a smaller size besides 17 inch? I need a personal item to fit British Airways. 16x12x6

can you fit a laptop in your personal carry on bag?

Is lip balm a solid or liquid?

How about your documents?

I’d be worried about stuff falling out of that side pocket

I'm pakistan 🇵🇰 🤗
