I love my Level8 spinner. Got a great deal on an Amazon Prime event. Love the ability to lock up my belongings, safe storage of my laptop and the wheels are amazing. It rolls so effortlessly. I also love the once zip side. Great for putting dirty clothes on the return trip. Thanks so much for the lead on this in a past video!!

@karendeangelis1358 Год назад

Can you tell me more about the deal? I want to keep an eye out?

@lynda.grace.14 Год назад

A packing list is a fantastic idea. I have one for several kinds of trips: overnight/weekend jaunts as well as a 4-week version. It saves the hassle of trying to remember every item or taking too many items. I hate wasting money on forgotten items as well as the time required to go out and find them at my destination. I stick to the essentials on that list--nothing else. Every time I throw in "something extra" that's the thing that doesn't get worn, but I've lugged it around for weeks. The list is organized by personal item and the carry-on suitcase. In addition, over the years I put the same items in the same places which eliminates panic-pawing to find something. I also include the price/value of the pieces in the suitcase on that list and keep copies on my phone a computer and a flash drive I leave at home. Once I was asked whether I had purchased and brought any jewelry back with me. After that, before leaving I also photograph everything--especially jewelry--so that if there is a question at customs on my return, the dated photo is proof that I did not purchase an item during my travels. If ever I need to make an insurance claim, I have the list. Using that system also leaves room in my bag--even a carry-on--for items I purchase while away. Sometimes I have shipped purchases to my home address rather than toting them around, but I do have to remember to declare them.

@dena-mo118 Год назад

This is a super informative video. Laurie. I did get the Travel Pro softside as you recommended back when. I then bought one for my husband and also the Travel Pro carry underseat carry on tote for him as well. I have an underseat I've had for years. Going carry on is a challenge for this "be prepared for anything" gal. Have made it work for our last few trips when flying. I really like that new pink Samsonite carry on you featured. Look forward to how you like it as you travel more with it.

@kenbrown2808 Год назад

the feature I really like, and only half of the suitcases in my household have it, is a strap that buckles onto itself by the top handle of the suitcase. this buckles around the pull up handle of another suitcase, and you can pull as many as you need like a train behind you. as the designated porter in my household, this makes my job so much easier than trying to herd free range spinners around.

@eclairtreo 9 месяцев назад

Amen to that! I will never go back to spinner wheels ever again.

@Grazilla52 Год назад

Hi Laurie! I’m a hard-sided gal & bought a set of Away luggage 4 years ago. I got the larger carryon & fortunately it has worked in all overhead bins even on smaller aircraft (so far!). They meet all of your space & sturdiness standards & come with a lifetime warranty, so for me, they’re great. Thanks for another helpful video!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Thanks for sharing!!

@lynnleipold2617 Год назад

I like Away. The biggest thing I love about them is that compression leaf on the one side. I pack in the compression cubes and put them on that side and then I can compress them even more with that leaf. I have an upcoming cruise in June where I will be gone for 20 days. I think I will have to pack a checked bag as well. I don’t want to have to spend my time doing laundry. I have those On Gossamer panties so can wash them so easily in the sink or shower.

The American Tourister 4 Kix wheeled carry-on tote is perfect as a personal item if you're flying Spirit or Frontier, where you are only allowed a personal item for free. It measures 18x14x8 (including handle and wheels) and fits in their luggage sizer. It costs less than having to check a bag last minute. It comes in pink and black. I got the pink and it worked perfectly for my recent trip to Florida on Spirit.

@shellykzookzoo5922 Год назад

Managed Australia with a 19” Travel Pro and a Vera Bradley Weekender bag. I was amazed how creatively you can pack the Travel Pro even though it was a smaller size. Once I sat on it and zipped, it stayed together and looked new after all the connecting flights. The Vera Bradley Weekender I have had for years and carry over my shoulder usually even though I can slip it over the Travel Pro handle. It is squishy so I can get it under seats or in tight overhead spaces. The pocket in front held my tickets and passport prior to security. I swear by that bag and Vera Bradley has an outlet where you can get it fairly cheap sometimes.

Hello Aullie & Laurie ! Glad you mentioned Ricardo. I had a set that was purchased over 2 decades ago & most of my luggage has been donated to homeless shelters, foster care system or military. I kept the tapestry carry on , that traveled the world & it's now my "sentimental bag" for all things Paul. (He actually carried that set during deployments) The organization closets on the Airstream are being upgraded to "luggage hanging closets" that will fit my "underseat".

@christinemurray2693 Год назад

Hi Laurie - I love all your videos and have watched for years. A critical feature affecting my choice of a carryon is the weight of the bag, So many bags claim to be light, but they weigh 7-10 pounds or more when empty! I own the Travelpro Maxlite International Rollaboard (weighs a little more than 5 pounds) and recommend it as both lightweight, sturdy, well organized and attractive. One minor flaw is the placement of the side handle, which is positioned horizontally rather than parallel to the side of the suitcase when it is standing. Still this is the best I have found to date and hope more choices in the 5-6 pound range will become available. Manufacturers need to consider that even wheeled bags have to be lifted - into overheads (if they are not too heavy to be allowed on board) into car trunks, onto trains and up staircases.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

True

@mrbenwong86 Месяц назад

My number 1 consideration as well, with 7kg limit, any luggage more than 2.3kg (or about 5 lb) failed the light weight test. All these non-removable extra pockets, organiser adds weight.

I bought my TravelPro soft side carryon spinner in 21” as well as the matching TravelPro personal item bag based on reviews on this channel. I’ve loved it for a year and will never check a bag again. I’m also using compression packs recommended here. I can easily pack for 10-12 days. Just got back from Pebble Beach having a great time.

@LucyLovesParis 2 месяца назад

I’m a year late on this video but honestly I think it’s almost timeless. You point out so many practical and useful things to consider in a carryon. You are not pushing the top 3 brands. Instead you are realistic about the how’s and why’s. Even picking up a great suitcase in JCPenney. A name brand might be good but it might just mean a higher price and useless features after the wheels fall off. I am a researcher and tend to really over research. I’ve watched too many videos on carryons the past few months. Your videos are the best I’ve seen and I recommend you as the first stop for any travel research. I’ve repeat watched a few, this one in particular. I can walk into a local store and immediately know what to look for. Thank you!

Thanks for this info..the wheel checks are critical and thanks to this video and close ups of the wheels, I think I can judge a lot better. Also appreciate the shout out to Skyway. I got a carry on and 24" primarily because they were promoting it as super light weight (soft sided), but the wheels and organization were fantastic and have proved durable. But they don't get much love in the luggage PR. Looking forward to more videos.

Totally agree about the double sided, open-like-a-book luggage. I borrowed one to visit my best friend who lives out of state. She had a lovely luggage rack for me to use, but the suitcase would not fit! For my entire visit, my suitcase stayed opened on the bedroom floor. Inconvenient and unsightly.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yep, I turned my luggage rack and that helped somewhat.

@cj9667 Год назад

You are a wealth of information! Love the TravelPro Maxlite 5 rollaboard. EC packet it folder fits perfectly in the zipper pocket. It leaves more space in the main compartment for the compression bags. You are absolutely correct about maneuvering into a restroom stall. Spinners would definitely be easier 🤣 Love the crew model that has two pockets instead of one deep on the front..and is probably more durable all around. I thought the location of the handle indicated which side of the suitcase opened on..meaning facing toward you is correct. Your videos are so helpful and I love to pack! Time to book a flight somewhere…Vegas? Banff? Thanks and have a great weekend! Have you posted a video regarding traveling with your pet?

@sandsweston6485 Год назад

I live in Europe and there are many small aircraft and lots of steps to lug the carryon up and down. I love the wheeled backpack types that allow you to carry the bag as a backpack when you are going up and down the many stairs.

@blureader1164 Год назад

Great tips as always. I am also rough on my luggage, so is the airport staff! I use a Muji brand hard side suitcase and carryon. Even though it adds weight, Muji suitcases have a wheel lock. I travel solo internationally, and the brakes help when I have to travel by train overseas. I have flown with them on international domestic flights, and they are very rugged.

This is the best video I have seen concerning carryon luggage! Thank you so much! You explained every feature and what to look out for so thoroughly. I now realize my wonderful older soft sided Ricardo is just too heavy. I think I now want to get a hard shell without any extra outside pockets and zippers. I recently gave away my backpack after realizing all the pockets and sturdy zippers with large pulls was very heavy when light. I figure all the extra zippers and pulls added to the weight. I now have a backpack that opens at the top like an old fashioned doctor's bag that is more user friendly for packing and lighter.

I went to my Pennys in Ocala FL and there was such a small selection! They were having a sale so I picked up the samsonite carry on expandable and checked everything. After the sale and an extra $70 off I got it for $130!!! Reg price was $350. I use compression bags so I think I’ll be ok with this one for cruise to Italy. I will also have my over the handle bag. Thank you!!!

@redrightsue1346 Год назад

Thank you for the video 👍 I travel often, and I never have a check in bag. I use my Tumi under seat carry-on and a matching Henri Bendel Jetsetter Backpack. I put a mini wallet in there and an extra plastic bag for snacks etc. I also have the popular Delsi Chatelet paris champagne luggage BUT... they aren't as convenient. There are some states that have the smallest planes and even the Delsi carry-on has to go in the belly of the plane bc the space is so limited. I also have the LV 55, nope too big also. The 45 too small and uncomfortable. Plus it just makes you a target depending on the city you travel too. I have a Lucas carry-on i bought at a Goodwill when I was in college, and its still one of my faves. Very well made. Comfort and space.

I just bought a new carry on after another round of exhaustive research. It's the Andiamo Classico & it opens 70/30 with one hydraulic hinge, has RFID pockets inside & a laptop pocket inside. Hard shell, great quality wheels & Locking clasps vs zippers. I prefer clasps to zippers for all my luggage - I've had way too many cheap bags bust open at the zipper once I put my personal item bag on top.

@SenterStuff61 Год назад

Laurie, thanks for all the luggage tips. As I’ve said, we’re planning an international trip later this year after not having traveled by plane in 15 years! So I’ve been ordering several luggage pieces to check out. I ordered the Monos in a lovely pink but didn’t think it was worth the $130 more than my husband’s blue Level 8 so returned it. Their “try it and return it” policy wasn’t exactly that. I had to send pics showing I had never used the bag and then they charged me $40 to return it!!!! NOT HAPPY! I ordered a Level 8 in the pretty pink that I like but it doesn’t have the front pocket! Now looking at a CalPak... I’ll let you know what I finally end up with. Nashville for a girls’ trip sounds fun! Y’all enjoy!

Osprey Porter 46 backpack is my carry-on bag. I find a backpack is much easier to carry through busy airports than a wheeled bag. It also fits in the overhead bin much easier too. Osprey Day Lite works well for Personal item. I never do checked bags, even for international travel.

@campagnollo Год назад

I can agree about the spinner wheels. I have both double and single wheeled spinners of good quality and I HATE the single spinners because they are not stable. I’m about to donate that bag and get a bag that has double wheels. As for hard clamshell vs soft flap, since I only use a hard checked for extended trips, I usually put it on the bed and unload it into drawers at my destination. I’ll carry a soft carry-on for either a week long trip or carrying items of immediate need or items that needs to be secured. Since it is short, unpacking isn’t necessary.

Hi Laurie, love your informative videos! My little 10 yr old VisionAir Spinner carryon had a rough trip to and from Grand Rapids and Des Moines this summer :( I rewatched this video before shopping for a replacement for an upcoming trip this fall. I'm a petite Senior with arthritis and a shoulder replacement so I was looking for a carryon that is rugged, lightweight and affordable. For years I had various Samsonite and American Tourister hard-side luggage that were great. But my old suitcases were just too heavy for me to handle as I started traveling with my elderly Mom and I was aging. Time to update my carryon! I loved the pink Samsonite carryon you featured but now most of my travel in to visit family. I checked TJ Maxx for three months and one day I found a Kenneth Cole Reaction carry for $30 less than a Samsonite. Thanks to your video I knew what to look for in a new carryon. The pretty teal Reaction carryon has all the features and durability of a Samsonite so I bought it, because TJ Maxx stuff "flies" out of the store quickly! When I came home I checked Amazon and they the same Kenneth Cole 20" Reaction in several colors, but the green color was on sale for $28 more than I paid for last years color at TJ Maxx. Thanks for all your travel tips!!!

Yay, great find! I hope it works well for ya and sounds like it should since you checked the features.

Actually stuffing your empty luggage with your Costco haul is also a great tip for those with tiny condos that have minimal storage. Thanks for the reviews & love your family pic with your son in the back seat trying to hide. So typical!

Haha thanks

wow great advice love it

@zenkakuji3776 Год назад

It seems that luggage designers have an opportunity to design the wheelies to be retractable. If they could rotate inside an area and lock in either the extracted or retracted positions, this would allow the overall volume of the suitcase to be expanded a bit, and the wheels would less likely get damaged when checked in with the wheelies in the retracted position.

I have the Ricardo Seahaven check in and carry on bags. I love them. Roomy and not to heavy for me to lift. My old Ricardo bags lasted over twenty years. I wanted a new set because I was jealous of my husbands spinner wheels. Lol.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Spinner wheels are awesome!

@WhoDeanyUnchained Год назад

My carry on has a Trolley sleeve and it come in handy so much when traveling with multiple bags.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yes that is a great feature!

@kriyayoga98 Год назад

I have the Ricardo carry-on soft side. I don’t remember when I bought it. Probably 5 or 6 years ago. I’ve made quite a few trips overseas and across country. I’ve occasionally checked it as well. It has a good expansion that I use if I buy things on the trip. It still looks really good and no problems with the hardware or spinner wheels.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yay! Great to pass along.

@jenharvey3397 Год назад

I always love your comparison videos Laurie, you talk about the features real people really want. May I ask your candid opinion of the Away rolling carry on?

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Hi, I have never tried theirs but looks great, along with the Monos (which is Canadian I think)

@james22939 Год назад

Love this so much love it when you zip luggage so relaxing feel like we are going on vacation together

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

So glad!

@anneg8319 Месяц назад

Finally a discussion about internal packing space! I would love to see internal cubic measurements listed on sales information when purchasing a carry on. Thank you.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Месяц назад

Ooh, that would be interesting.

@loquacious300 Год назад

Super helpful .. thank you!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Oh good! Noticing the features in a carry-on is so important!

@margaretcroft 4 месяца назад

Thanks for some great videos - have utilized them when traveling recently, especially the “essentials” one! I love my Delsey spinner - sized for international travel. Good wheels, built in lock…great zippers. I use Eagle Creek compression cubes to maximize the space. My Travel Pro is way too heavy for me to lift up into the overhead now..I only use it for car trips. Thank you and safe travels!

Thanks for sharing!

@Oxford322 Год назад

I got my travelpro rollaboard last year bc you did a video on the inside space of the 2 wheel vs the 4 wheel ! I gotta say I LOVE that rollaboard more than my spinner travelpro . The max lite is my fav line bc of the durability , low weight !

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

It is a great suitcase; the ones I saw at Macy's last year were not the same imo so I did not buy a spinner from them. The 2 wheel was fantastic but now I cannot go back to a 2 wheeler lol.

@donnahill1224 Месяц назад

I purchased a fabulous light carry on from it luggage - 4lbs, handle runs on the outside edges instead of down the middle, loads of space with 2 outside pockets. It’s a soft side. Purchased it on Amazon Canada! Looking forward to the European Christmas markets with it!

Hi Laurie - just wanted to report back and say thank you for your great tips re: carry-on luggage. Followed your advice when shopping and I'd like to add a lesser known (and very affordable) brand to the "thumbs up" list: the 22" spinner by Lily Bloom. Cute designs for ladies and sort of a "hybrid" - technically a soft side, but made of a recycled rubber type material. Sturdy and easy to clean, but with some pocket on the outside, which I life for organization. Paired this with an amazing Lovevook backpack as my personal item (your recommendation). Used packing cubes and split up my toiletries and I was able to pack for a 19-day trip with just these two pieces (did some laundry along the way, but still). :)

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Wow wow I am so impressed you packed that many items in a carry-on suitcase! Congrats!

@jenharvey3397 Год назад

Oh, about the luggage rack: instead of using a luggage rack, per se, I use a foldable storage stool. You know, the ubiquitous ersatz 'leather' one that's like 2 cubes put together (but only one compartment) that makes a long stool with the lid on, but also can be used to store items. That is along the foot of the bed in the guest room and allows guests to use the top as a luggage rack. I put extra blankets and pillows inside so guests can set up the bed to their own comfort level.

@janeS9773 Год назад

Thanks Laurie! Really enjoyed and learned from this video! Thank you. Oh is your bag the Aubergine or solar rose? It looked like the solar rose. Thanks!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 10 месяцев назад

Hi hope this gave you some ideas! I think the Samsonite one is sold out but pay attention to my fave one near the end for cobblestone roads.

@gailstaton4350 Год назад

Hi Laurie, I need more luggage like I need a hole in my head but yesterday tested my willpower. I was shopping in Marshall's. Of course I checked out the luggage. Low and behold they had a Ricardo hard side roll on. It was very, very nice and either $70.00 or $80.00. I wheeled that thing around the entire store while I shopped but finally came to my senses and put it back. I would not hesitate to recommend that piece of luggage. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, I think.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yay yes it’s a great brand from what we have seen

@charlagiles8491 11 месяцев назад

Love you shows

@EmmaCruises Год назад

Yess!! This is just what I needed. Thank you lots! I've always been on team soft side... but my last suitcase went mouldy (ha ha) so I'm thinking of getting a hard shell suitcase. :-)

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

It took me 2 trips to fall in love with hards sided. I definitely love spinner wheels

@EmmaCruises Год назад

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Yes!! I am always envious of people wheeling their suitcases like that, mine just has two wheels. 😅

@milespalero 3 месяца назад

I am not sure how many times I watched this😂 I bought the Quince and Level 8 carry on for my Swiss trip this next couple months. Quince is going back because of the unstable handle. LEVEL 8 is a keeper. THANK YOU F9R THE TIPS!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie 3 месяца назад

Hope you enjoy it!

@gaillittle1700 Год назад

I just bought my first hard sided carryon suitcase by Vera Bradley. It has two sections and both flaps have pockets, one full, one has two small pockets. The one flap has compression straps, the other zippers. It also has a pouch for a phone charger so you can charge your phone. I will buy a cover for it so it stays pretty.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yay glad you like it!

@rosemaryaugustine130 Год назад

I'm a soft sided luggage person, but a couple of years ago on a trip I bought one of those small hard sided cases to fit my laptop and work papers - ... it's become my work case when I travel and it's small enough to fit all that I need for work... When I'm in the hotel, that will have to go on the bed to get out what I need and then zip up. Yes big disadvantages, but my purse that goes on the plane with this bag is big enough to fit under a seat and hold the laptop if necessary. thanks for all your tips, they are great.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Yes pros and cons for hard-sided.

@livingweirdestherc6644 Год назад

I have learned so much from you about packing. Thank you

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

I'm so glad!

@sandynbtx6967 Год назад

Good information! I like a suitcase with a grab handle on the bottom. They are hard to find. Most Travelpro bags have one. Recently bought a Kenneth Cole hardside with one also.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

So true!

@aliblue3605 Год назад

I packed for a Canadian budget airline, out of Chicago back in 2022 and Used my 16inch Ricardo bag and my Skyway tech bag and it worked just fine. Packing it and repacking was my biggest issue, but I am usually an over packer so, ya. It’s called practice.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

20 years of practice and it still takes practice. Thx!!

@Skater21Loverboyz Год назад

Yes!! It's a must to check those pull up handles. When I was in Hawaii, I nearly freaked because the handle got stuck going down. (You have to have it down when on the belt). I was like... oh god ... this is bad!

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

That airport panic feel when something goes wrong; I know it!

@sewing-Susan Год назад

My Ricardo trolley handle glides perfectly when empty. However, it gets stuck when full. I still like Ricardo because they stand behind their product even when the small print says they don’t replace when airports “eat” your luggage. That was my experience.

@donkiml5805 Год назад

We have Ricardo luggage that is about 30 years old. The fabric still has held up over the years. The problem is that luggage from years ago tend to be heavier. What I love about the Ricardo from years ago. It is a double split suitcase with a Suitor hook. The suitcase opens with half from the top and the other half below so it does not open like a book. It works much better on luggage stands and I find it easier to organize. The suitor hook is wonderful for nicer items. The original suitcases came with a personal item, a small carry on a standard carry-on, and a larger check bag. If I remember right, I think I might have gotten it from Kohl’s. Pretty soon I’ll be able to put it in the museum of luggage. Currently I have a TravelPro. International carry-on.

Thank you! I love your videos. Do you have a video with tips for travelling with a CPAP machine? ❤🇨🇦

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Hi, but they do not count as any type of luggage in the US. Google your airline.

@donnabaardsen5372 Год назад

Great question! I have one, too.

@mysewingpractice Год назад

HI LAURIE, I love your videos. I consider weight very highly. I literally weighed the suitcases the store. As I age, I own that the carrying and rolling luggage fatigues me and therefore decreases my joy. I plan on taking one carryon, a 6 lb hard shell, and just a purse, to Paris.

@TravelTipsbyLaurie Год назад

Have a beautiful, lightweight trip!!

@pamearly6800 Год назад

Hi Laurie… Thank you for another great video!…Can you please recommend good quality see-through packing cubes?… Anyone else find it difficult using colored packing cubs to find what your looking for?… or just when you think that you’re done packing and you have something else to pack in the cube and can’t remember which cube it belongs in 😂 Cheers

@littlemom2070 Год назад

I find it helps to have different colored packing cubes. For example, green for tops and red for bottoms, yellow for undergarments, etc. So many packing cubes are sold in matching sets.
