The tip about evacuation and the vest is genius xx

You are the “clown car” of travel. I mean that as a wonderful compliment. Your organization is on another level. I enjoyed this video very much 😊.

You’re a magician! Things just keep appearing out of nowhere. Great video!

I almost never do comments, and I've never said this to anyone, but you are my hero.

I stayed in a hotel suite with my family the other night, and all the little bits & bobs I carry came in so handy thanks to you! My family laughingly told me I was entitled to all the hotel amenities as a reward for being so prepared.

You definitely take preparedness to the next level! I thought I did a pretty good job of organizing my personal item but you’ve shown several ways I can improve. I appreciate how you’ve provided links to everything. Your point about how a travel vest allows you to have all your really important things upon your person in case the plane is evacuated was something I hadn’t thought of before, so I’m going to invest in one.

I absolutely love that you basically have a "bag of holding". It is so awesome. If you could, I look forward to seeing the video of that keychain. That would be an awesome addition to my world.

Hey Eunice, I hope you are doing great. Your videos are so helpful. I would have never thought of putting a luggage tag on my personal items bag. What a great idea! 👍🏼 I love how prepared you are for every scenerio. I get so MANY ideas from you ❤️ Thanks so much for always helping us out. Have a blessed day. 🙏🏼

Wow. I didn't think you could get any better....but you did. It would be funny if you sold these on Etsy--complete. Now I have to justify getting a new bag. Some women collect shoes, I collect bags. Thanks! ;-)

I thought I was the only one to eat chips and Cheetos with chopsticks. LOL. I get laughed at at work, but I it keeps my hands clean and I can still keep working at my keyboard.

I went on a trip recently and i dont trust hotel kettles so i ended up buying a $7.50ea australian dollar kettle worked great used it every day then i just gave it away to someone i knew all good

Another great video Eunice, my Mary Poppins MacGyver lady! You’re awesome!💕

Evacuation tip to complement the vest items. A passenger on the January 2, 2024 flight which was on fire while landing at Tokyo slipped his laptop down his pants. Usually there's enough time to do that much, between the time that the announcements to brace begin and the craft stops. Or make sure you have everything on the computer backed up to a cloud storage or external hard drive that remains safely at home.

What a great tip to put a luggage tag on your carry on. I had never thought of that. So many great tips and items here, it's hard to pick a favourite. That carry on bag is awesome.

I have traveled short and long hauls for years! I've watched a ton of these types of videos and hands down, yours has been the best. I didn't think you could show my any tips I hadn't seen but you have. My hats off to you. I'll be watching your other vids.

I love your collection of smaller zipper bags to compartmentalize various small items. I keep every small bag that comes my way so I can do the same❤.

I travel with 1 backpack or small underseat bag. My "personal bag" (small purse) fits inside it, and the backpack/underseat bag fits under the seat in front of me. I don't like bringing more than that, or putting a bag in the overhead compartments. I've learned a lot from your videos!

I’m known as the person in the group with the “McGyver Kit” of everything you might need. I will be getting the utensils and chop sticks and bib with the hair clip…so smart! Also the vest! I bought one for my hubby but never thought about myself!

Loved the backpack organizer. Also need to pick up another immersion heater. Had one in a bag getting on a cruise. It was confiscated, although I'd taken it many times on cruises before. When disembarking, we were on a tight schedule to catch a flight, so I didn't retrieve it. Your vest idea is so smart. Never had to evacuate on a plane, but never know. Love your videos and on Instagram also.

I love how organized you are and seeing all your bags and what you use to organize them. Everything is so pretty and functional. You have so many useful tips, and I'm always getting new ideas for what to use and how to pack my art supplies and painting bag for when I want to go out to paint. Thank you!

another fabulois video Eunice, Happy Weekend!!!

I love all your ideas! Thank you for sharing!

I love everything in this video!! Thank you for being YOU!!❤

GREAT ORGANIZATION! Yes, the vest was Brilliant.

So many cool hacks and gadgets here. I fly a lot, and use a lot of the same things you’ve cited here. A merino dress, and those little zip-top “baglets” are gold. OTOH, I’m in the minority of not liking a lot of pockets in my bag because I can’t keep them straight 😝 A few clear plastic baggie-type things does better for me. I’ve also learned that you usually get what you pay for. Having something break or become nonfunctional on a plane or trip is not fun-and the cheapest thing is not likely to last long. But there’s gazillion gadgets and aids for travel, and it’s great to have you sift through the offerings. So…new subscriber!

Yes. Nice work Eunice. I always learn great tips. Loved the bag, the organizer and the twee pill box 😊😊

Yay, I’m first! Always love your videos, Eunice 😀

You saved us with that data blocker, thank you!

I love the way you organize things. Like things together, everything in its place. I usually struggle with finding things and need to use some of these tips to help!

always so many fantastic tips!

Oh my word! Your videos are just AMAZING!

I’m rather new to traveling and have been on a learning curve the last few years. I wish I’d found you sooner. I haven’t heard of most of these items. I even had my wallet stolen out of my bag while carrying it. So many new items to find. Thank you so much for sharing

You’re very well prepared thank you.

I just found you and your suggestions are incredibly helpful. I’m a seasoned traveler and still learned so much. Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise. I’m off to pick up a couple of helpful items you suggested ❤

I will be traveling to Italy very soon. Your video has helped me tremendously! Thank you so very much! Simply genius. Grazie mille, bella!

I have several bags by Lug that is a convertible tote, crossbody, shoulder bag and backpack. They are so convenient for personal item bags and have amazing organization, including a soft-lined phone pocket and see-thru zipper pocket inside for cosmetics, etc. I always put a luggage tag on my personal item and carry on bags, plus Apple AirTags in my wallet and both bags.

Thank you for taking the time.

Eunice, lots of item to add to my Amazon chart. Thanks. Love that you have chopsticks for your Cheetos. I knew I love you from the start. Wonderful tips. My husband was impressed with how light my suitcase this trip and I owe it all to you. Small, yet mighty. 😊

Yay! I also have lots of "littles" !! That bag is awesome! Thank you for sharing with us.

Love the video, love the bag, love the organizer! And I will be on the lookout for the video on your keychain full of EDC items!

❤YOU are always amazing. You’re a girl like me that likes to be prepared. Thanks for ALL your amazing tips and tricks that have saved me over the years.

Another Mary Poppins bag! You are the gift that keeps on giving...thank you so much for the great ideas!!!

Love all your gizmos!! And how efficiently you pack them. I’ve used several on short & long trips Thank you!!!

Love your pouch of single use items!

I love the idea about keeping the tools, etc that they might question, on the outside so you show you aren't hiding anything. Thanks 😀

I have one very similar to that.. it's a Samantha Brown bag and I use it as my "Gramma Bag" when I babysit. my ipad, my snacks, my water bottle and earbuds, etc. I also can put my coffee travel cup in the holder too. I bought it for travel , but I use it almost every day.

Love these kinds of videos love these videos Never get tired of them Thumbs up

Thank you sharing! This video is great! A realistic common sense what in my bag…not silly trending things to waste money on. I will use a lot of these tips and information!

Great video! Very detailed. I appreciate how you went through the bag step by step!!

Love it, Thanks 💖💖💖

Thanks I've not traveled on a plane since 2019 so I need some good reminders and packing tips. Love that bag so versatile!! Thanks :)

I have learned so much from you. I love the felt organizer that can double as a bedside organizer! I’m looking forward to trying it out. Thank you for the nod to your Canadian viewers showing the Air Canada sizer. Canadian size restrictions are a challenge.

You are the best! Love it😅

Like always a very great video. Very informative. Thank you. Safe travels 🧳🥾

I watched this on the plane home from our vacation. Too late for that trip, but lots to consider for the next!

Excellent video!

Great video like always!!

💚🖤 I love the simplicity of your bag packing, everything is organized and accessible.

Omg! Such great ideas and I will have to buy that. We’re traveling to Australia next month!,, ❤thank you!

Fabulous as always ❤️

The inside bag organizer is a must, thank you for the link. !

Thanks for another great video!

Great point about keeping a luggage tag on your personal item! Although I already have a personal item bag, I think the organizer would be perfect for me!

Fantastic organization!

Another great video!

Very helpful!! Thank you!

Great packing video. I like that bag & the inside organizer.

Excellent video for packing a carry-on!

Excellent video Eunice. I always take away some new tips. 😊👍👍👍

Eunice! Thanks for the tip about the luggage tag! I never put one on my carry-on, but I will be now.

Very good video! I love the purse. I have 2 different Bagalinis.The vest is perfect!

You are my travel spirit animal ❤

I love the way you think! I've often wondered what I would do if I had to evacuate the plane. Now I know. Just when I thought you couldn't get any better you go and post this! I loved using the little zip-lock bags on our cruise last month. Now look at all the stuff I need to get for my next trip! I love Baggallini bags so will be getting the 3 in 1 tote, and the vest.

Thanks! I plan to order the vest!

EPIC!! Ordered the bag!! Wish I could find that rectangular zipper clear bag used for the tea bags. Love it! Thank you for sharing!

You are amazing, Eunice!

I am enjoying all of your great packing ideas and hacks. I use many of them for my travels in my Class B RV. Due to limited space, I am trying to keep packing at a minimum, so thank you. I am a big fan of Baggallini bags because they are designed with many zippered pockets and the fabric repels water and dirt. Many times I will pack travel essentials in a small Baggallini crossbody bag which I then pack in a larger Baggallini bag that may have an iPad, water bottle, scarf/sweater. I can remove the crossbody bag and use that when walking or shopping and leave the larger bag in my van. If I plan on a long day away from the van, I may carry the smaller bag in the larger bag, minus iPad, but with water bottle , umbrella and sweater. The larger bag can be used as a beach bag or picnic bag as well. I try to have more than one use for items when traveling in my van or on a plane.

Thank you Mary Poppins! Wow! Impressive.

Yay! another Awesome Beautiful Eunice video! always look forward to your travel content. Thank you for always sharing the Amazon links. More stuff to add to my cart LOL. Sending Safe travel Luv always xoxo ❤✈🧳👜😎🙏

I have a very similar felt organizer insert for my Tumi travel backpack. It is amazing, such a game changer.

I have the same bag and I love it.

That is a beautifully well organised bag! I am jealous! 😅

That charger seems pretty perfect for travel. I have been on so many planes where the “seat charger” does not work. It’s too dirty, broken, etc. Some planes still don’t even have them. But I never ever depend on having or using a seat charger. Same thing applies for outlets/chargers in the gate area, although not as often. And if there’s any kind of big flight disruption, so everybody is calling/rebooking, those outlets can be taken/in use real fast.

Bagallini is GREAT for organization!

New sub here and thought I had it down to a science of packing and you by far are the Einstein!!! My travel is mostly cruising which is another ballgame, but recently got a good personal bag tip from from Sherry from her Cruise TV YT channel which could be applicable to anyone flying to their destination especially abroad. Sherry always packs a lightweight bathing suit and cover up with the clothing she packs in her personal item bag because if your luggage is lost replacing a bathing suit anywhere you travel can be difficult especially for those of us which includes me that are beyond our bikini years. I just ordered such a swimsuit on Amazon and already have a coverup which is a black knee length sleeveless no wrinkle dress which can be used also as a nightgown or everyday dress and dressed up with a scarf or some jewelry. With regards to jewelry, I no longer travel with any of my expensive jewelry and replaced it all with jewelry I purchased from Temu which even includes my wedding band. Temu has surprisingly nice costume very inexpensive, and if stolen or lost no tears will be shed. This would be a good idea for a video replacing your expensive pieces with Temu jewelry. ☺️

This is awesome

we can learn a lot from you 😊❤😁👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks 😊. stay safe always and God bless

Thank for sharing ❤

Great video

I like your packets. I always pack mine, but it makes more sense to put them in the carry on, in their own pouch-let. I also like the convertible wristlet. I'm thinking of all the things I already have that I haven't put to better use! I even have a weekender from DSW that converts like yours, but I found it too floppy on my back. I could use my purse organizer and some filled packing cubes to make it less floppy! You have me thinking now.

Thank you! ❤

What perfect timing!! I'm off on Tuesday to Europe and these will be helpful tips for me

I have that fan .. love it I will add foot hammock to use on the plane

I also have some of those little floss picks along, which can be used to eat Cheetos or other messy food in a pinch! I like the Scope brand, cuz they are minty fresh, anothr bonus!

This is timely since I'm planning this summer's travel bag. Your tip about a luggage tag on your personal item is one I have not thought of, but seems a great idea. Your zipper ties are wonderful too. You pack a great deal into your bag. I don't believe I would carry quite that much, but everyone has their own level of preparedness. I'd love to know what is on your EDC keychain.

You need to rotate your stash: any of the wipes, particularly the alcohol based ones, dry out overtime. I don't know how many times I have reached for a wet wipe and found it all dried out. Some you can give a "boost" by moistening with water but it's not the same.

I have a similar size/shape convertible bag that works great as a personal item. The only drawback with mine is that it doesn't have a trolley sleeve like your bag has. I do like traveling with a small personal item, as I can also use it as my daypack when sightseeing. 🌸Heidi

Air Canada says the depth needs to be 6" or 6.5" (I can't remember which). Glad to see your bag fits. Mine said 7.5" on the ad but others use it and recommend it, so i'm hopeful

Great, informative video! I have been watching a lot of packing light/carry on only videos lately, and they all seem be far exceeding European bag size limits. Some of the personal item bags showcased in those videos would even exceed the carry on suitcase limits. I worry that many of the people watching those will follow suit and then be in for a big surprise when they are told they are not allowed when they get to the airport. So it is great to see actual size limits used in your video, and how you maximize the small space.
