I just traveled on Spirit with only a TakeOff 2.0. I packed enough for five days of colder weather. I brought a heavy sweater, a couple of thick shirts, leggings, a hoodie, a tablet and a small purse along with makeup and toiletries. I was worried about the zipper pulling apart because it was so stuffed, but all was fine. The Spirit associate made me slide my bag into the personal item bin and it slid in perfectly, so yay!
What size in clothing are you? You sound like you might be smaller than 14
The "fanny bag hidden under the hoodie sweatshirt" is a GREAT hack. I do it all the time on Frontier and Spirit. What gets me is....even this extra small bag packed bursting still fits under the airplane seat along with my personal item, another backpack filled to capacity lol.
Hi, great video. Thanks for the realities of packing plus size clothing. My bag is always full so I have to add things to my husbands bag.
You are very welcome. I'm looking forward to the cubes vs bags vs compression cube video too! Helps us fluffy ladies
I learned a lot from your video about current bag options. I am 80 years old and I’ve had several of my bags for several years. I thought they were small but those that you’re showing are much smaller and also roller bags. Thanks for going into so much detail.
You are very welcome! ❤️
I have a bag similar to the WANDF bags. I really like it. I've used it for Spirit, Frontier, Play, TAP and Vueling.
This page is awesome. Much love and support for you and your content. Thank you!!! I am going to look into these. I recently got the tomtoc Travel Backpack 40L of Amazon and it’s PERFECT. I hope to add more bags to my collection with some of your suggestions.
I can vouch for the American Tourister bag. I have that one in magenta/purplish with black trim. I've used it on Spirit as my only luggage for a week trip to Florida. I measured it in the sizers at the airport both before my trip and then for the flight home after repacking and having some dirty clothes in it. I made sure not to over stuff the bag and it fit perfectly in the sizer. I will say that not all Spirit planes are the same with the same size seats. Also the location of the seat affects how the bag actually fits underneath. In my experience, the window seat has the smallest area and I had to sit with ny feet resting on my suitcase during one flight because it didnt fit completely under the seat in front of me. It would have been the same with any bag as this was the design of that particular plane. So just keep that in mind. I personally am not worried about that as long as it fits in the sizer and I can carry it for free onto the plane. But for those who are taking longer flights, this may be a confort issue.
Thank you for making this vlog! You've provided a wealth of information, and the links were extremely helpful. Thanks. 👍🏾👌🏾
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
I appreciate this. Thanks so much!
You are very welcome!
Very helpful thank you❤
You are very welcome. Which bag did you like?
@@HaleewithaFlairI prefer a bag on wheels so ones you have to carry not for me as asthmatic. I need to pack my life too on long trip.. at end carry on best as wouldnt fit into under seat..
@@lbunnygordon1133 these ones fit perfectly under 🙂
Great reviews! Im looking for a new suitcase and that Walmart bag is looking very enticing! Thanks so much 😊
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
When flying like this I carry a handmade oatmeal soap it does body hair and face it's a great makeup remover and my hair responds extremely well to it
I’ve seen the bar shampoo and conditioner. I’ve never tried them though.
Thank you very helpful!!
thank you for watching
Thank you for a very informative video with several different types of personal item shown. I particularly liked that you measured the bags AFTER they were packed since some soft sided bags can be more than 8 inches then. Very helpful, thank you.
thank you for watching and your kind words
You are beautiful and I LOVE your hair! I'm a plus-size beauty myself lol.
I cut the laptop sleeve out of my 'travel' backpack, made a big difference😻 However, it was an internal padding not a separate compartment
It can be super bulky!
I’ve done the same thing. It gave me a little extra space and was worth it.
I Like The Peach Colored One And The Big Packing Cube Put In First In Bottom Of Bag Lay Flat Then Side By Side Pack Other Items On Top Of Big Cube Gives Mire Space And Room❤❤ Love Video Thank You For Showing And The Material Brown Colored Bag You Did Last I HAVE The Blue Bag I Love It. You Did Amazing Demonstration Thank You God Bless You❤❤
Thank you for watching
I had the American Tourister bag which I ended up giving away. From my review I posted on Amazon: "Nice compact design, sturdy construction. It's a little taller than I would like, you can see from the photos that it sticks out from under the seat in front. Note that it sticks out further than my wife's under seat bag (the dark purple one on the right side. When in your plane's seat, it is awkward to find and pull items out of the bag when you are seated. On our recent Southwest Airlines flight (a Boeing 737-800 plane) it was too wide to fit under an aisle seat." Two other things that I didn't like were lack of a laptop sleeve at the back and no small organizer pockets in the front pocket for small things like credit cards, etc.
Thank you for this very comprehensive comparison video! I found it very helpful. Those two WANDF travel bags, is there one you recommend over the other? I like the denim options on the personal bag but like the pouched option on the foldable bag. I'm considering for weekend road trips.
Honestly, there really isn't anything too different between those bags. I was so surprised by both!
@@HaleewithaFlair thank you!
I ended up purchasing both, but haven't used either for travel. One I keep in my car to use when needed to transport various items, and it works well so far. I do have the underseat pro roller bag which I have used and love!
Thanks for that! We're going for a 10 day trip to Spain and I am determined to do carry on only. Unfortunately the airline not only has a limit on size but weight also.. 10 KGS! I'm going to have to do some thinking!!
I was able to do 2 weeks in italy in a backpack and carry on very easily. probably could have done less.
And with a weight limit, a roller is NOT worth it.
Great video! Do you know if the American tourism bag works as personal item under seat for American Airlines?
It should!
I've been wearing a fanny pack for years that the strap is long enough I can pull it out and where it is a crossbody if I want to or tighten it down as a fanny pack and a lot of clutch purses to straps are long enough that you can put it as a fanny pack and just pull your shirt over it if I'm wearing black yoga pants I will wear a black pack that way it blends right in
I think I might have used 2 compression bags instead of the one because sometimes things get lost in those larger bags and you're not able to compress it as much as you would like. Just a thought.
Great info!! Would love to know what the bags weigh empty. Our airlines are picky with luggage weight!! A lighter model allows a few more items to be packed!! 😊
completely agree. I believe the weights are mentioned in the links in the bio
We are heading to Florida for the winter. We are starting to fly down instead of driving. Is there a service that is reasonable to mail down skin care larger bottles? Also a few clothes. Im use to having space to take things when driving.
USPS has the if it fits, it ships flat rate boxes.
I really want to purchase the voyager bag from poppy and peonies for my personal bag on allegiant but I'm so scared they may make me pay for it since it's a smidgen bigger than the requirements.
I’m actually surprised that both Frontier and Spirit’s dimensions for a personal sized bag are 18”x14”x8”. I mostly fly Air Canada (17”x13”x6”) and WestJet (16”x13”x6”), and they are a titch smaller. Porter is the same as AC.
I have one of the backpacks (very similar to the pink one), and thought it looked way too big to count as a personal bag (mind you, I was taking a carry on as well). I still haven’t worked up to personal size only yet. Maybe some day…
Nice video showing how much you can pack into these bags. Thanks!
That’s an interesting size. I may have to give that a go for a video. Thanks for watching!
The measurements for frontier are actually a very small Vera Bradley bag it's the one I normally carry as my makeup shower bag when I'm driving
I purchased Protege 16” at Walmart but when I read the reviews some people said it didn’t pass as a personal item on Spirit ,because of the wheels. I measured it was 8 1/2 if you measure from front to back wheels. Did you have that issue.?
I’ve used it on spirit and frontier for years!
I put it in and it fits the gate checker no problem!
You have to put it in the box upside down.
Ive never had to but ive seen folks do it when their bag is fuller at top
I have a bag that is 17.5x11x8.5. I’m not filling it, so there’s lots of room left and it’s squishy. Do you think that 8.5 would be an issue?
If it isn't filled, probably won't have an issue.
What personal item on Avelo airline?
Their policy is small. The size is 14″L x 9″W x 9.5″H. This bag could work: amzn.to/4754w7f
Allegiant Air doesn't charge veterans any bag charges. If you're a veteran and Allegiant is flying where you want to go, just bring proof of service.
😂😂 I just got my pink backpack exactly like yours today! I am using it as my personal item for Spirit for an overnight stay. My biggest problem is that I have to pack my cpap machine in it, otherwise I would have more than enough room to pack everything.
I'm pretty sure you can carry your machine on in its own bag with no issue as it is a medical device. Maybe check with the airline.
Have you checked with the airline? A medical device can be brought in a separate bag, and it should not be a problem but do confirm.
"Instacart yr toiletries"??? Can you not just walk in to a store at yr destination?
My husband and I have used the protégé Walmart roller bag for more than 6 years now with frontier and we have never had any problems. Since they are really cracking down on bags lately, I usually take a screenshot of my bag's measurements and Frontier's off their website. I have never had to use them. I just carry them for self-assurance. Should they ever ask me to put it in the bin and it does not go in, I am in full compliance with measurements on their website and the issue lies within the bin's size.
Of course, many can rightfully argue that it seems like too much of a hassle, and it can be. But we have taken several round-trip flights for 40$ each, so if a few screenshots will help me relax, then it's a win. However, I roll into that tarmac like I own the place and with our game face on -- (I am fully compliant and please do not try to tell me it is not so if you do not want to see my screenshots) and 99% of the time, they know this is a compliant bag.
exactly! I like a nice cheap plane ticket!
YES! It takes a little practice, but you really CAN use the personal item as luggage and it is more than enough. I have even stuffed an entire sequin dress for NY Broadway in there and had 5 days worth of clothing. Her video is really quite good and explains everything so well. Figure our where you can compromise and it works. Happy travels!! @@HaleewithaFlair
Have you flown frontier recently. They made everyone put their bags in last week
I flew them a couple months ago with all these bags and they fit.@@sarahcollins1782
Do american tourister pass Delta Air lines?
we've used this bag on delta
The purple bag Ive used for years. Its my bestI gave the cheapest bags as gift for my birthday party last year they fold into itself. The pink backpack is what i just bought for my upcoming trip. Im plus size too. I think you made a mistake on how you packed it though. My roller in big airports was making me tired and i wish I had a bag ti put on my back. Your reviews were helpful except i noticed you left out shoes in that 2nd roller bag. Thanks
Who sends their toiletries? I’ve never heard of that before…
saves space! instacart and amazon
And oh by the way I am hoping that someone is carrying more than this one bag on a flight because I carry more than just shoes ATSA bag and my clothes as there are personal items that need to be packed somewhere and this does not include them.
Honestly, time stamps for me is what keeps me logged in. Not having time stamps feels so unprofessional. Please put in that extra detail.
Id rather not go if I have to be on any of those airlines, and zoo animal passengers.
Helpful? NOT. Amazon? Delivery of your makeup by air to your destination??? are you kidding me?
Hope you have the day you deserve ✌️
I thought the same thing. Instacart toiletries? huh?!
Yes! Some people ship some toiletry items or even order them to be delivered to their destination. It's not unheard of! BTW, I found this video very helpful! Though I did just purchase the Underseat Pro Roller, it's very well made, I'd like an option to have a shoulder strap in cases where you can't or don't want to roll it.
Why is that unheard of to you? I frequently stay with family when visiting Florida. I will have groceries, drinks or sometimes other items delivered by instacart or Amazon so I have them available when I arrive. I wouldn't send my shampoo by Amazon if I was visiting a tropical island somewhere and staying at a resort but everyone vacations differently. No need to be rude just because you didn't understand.
My husband and I went to Florida for our honeymoon and first stop when we arrived was target for shampoo, body wash and sunscreen
