Wear bulky items you don't pack. For a year or two I had a favorite field jacket with deep pockets and I wore that until it was falling apart. With tons of pockets they can't cite me at the desk because everything technically fit in my carry-on, Pockets don't count!😂
Throwing out the doll?! Oh my goodness! Ruthless!
Right?!?!?!
I’ve honestly adopted so many of your tips that I don’t know what I was thinking before then! I’ve definitely stayed away from Spirit for all the reasons you said, but that TakeOFF luggage would make me feel like a travel gangster. I could see myself telling them, “try me!” 😜🙈
Ok the babydoll situation…that was wrong on so many levels.
Thank you for taking us on these adventures!
I gasped when you told the story about the kid's doll. Way to traumatize a kid, Spirit!
Right?!
So awful
Ooowie! You were so much more positive and at ease than I would have with been all those delays with Spirit airlines lol 😅. I’ve never considered flying with them before because of all the horror stories I’ve heard. And you’re right, that was awful they didn’t let that poor child keep a babydoll. Still not sure if I’ll ever fly with Spirit but at least I know which luggage works if I ever do haha 😂. Thanks for the tips!
To be honest I’ve been delayed or cancelled on every single airline, it’s just more likely to happen the move you travel.
Awesome!
You are a trooper Lauren I would have been done!!
Love the video super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video love the channel! You’re inspiring me to travel more. ❤
Thank you! That means a lot to me!
4000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! So many people are finding you and realizing just how valuable this channel is. WOOT!!! Also, happy anniversary to you and Brian!
Thank you Susan! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for this so impressed how you review in detail for us ordinary folk! An inspiration
Glad it was helpful!🥰
What a day! Air travel this year continues to be a real challenge.
Heck yeah you kept your cool through the bs and you got blessed! Awesome!
You have to for sure!
You are so calm, that would have been a nightmare for me ugh. I will have to think a bit about travelling with Spirit Air. Much respect for how you handled that situation.
Honestly with how often I travel it’s happened to me on every airline.
Very cool!
This is awesome. I'm from Tampa and flying Spirit to New Orleans to officiate my best friends wedding. I'm so excited.
That’s awesome! My bestie officiated our wedding in New Orleans!
Best food I ever ate was New Orleans! Fun video...😊
your best reaction about the doll at 3:33, Seriously, making someone throw a doll away. I feel they should have a holding area if the people are flying round trip and you could tell the toddler, the doll is going to the airport hotel.
You are the best 👍✊🌟🌟🌟
It sucks when there’s maintenance issues but I’d rather be late and safe then the alternative lol 😂 I always try to think positive when things like that happen
Absolutely!
PS. I love that you got married in New Orleans. I wanted to get married there too but planning a wedding from far away seemed so impossible to me. I imagined getting married at Oak Alley plantation (where they filmed Interview with the Vampire) or maybe some cool garden spot in the French Quarter. I also thought it would be way cool to have a jazz procession taking us down the streets of the French quarter while we were ride in a carriage. I know they usually do that for funerals, but it sounded so cool!
It was incredible. We hired a wedding planner to help from afar. The hardest part was Covid. We got engaged january of 2020, and married in April 2021. You can imagine the nightmare.
We didn’t get to have a second line parade (officially) but we did hire a brass band to play in the street and in our garden. It was awesome 💕
If TakeOff made a polycarbonate case without the extending handle (which takes up so much space).. and not really needing the wheels because the weight of a personal item is not that great I would love to see this suitcase with a cross-body strap. Although my totes and mini duffels always fit, a perfectly sized rectangular polycarbonate shell would take full advantage of the space!
I just need to invent my own luggage as I'm so picky... but big congratulations to the company as I've read several pieces on them since becoming aware on your channel Lauren!
And by the way, I could just imagine you scouting for a spirit employee to dare you to drop it into the sizing box! 😂
I've never traveled spirit but I've traveled RyanAir and they have the same restrictions and you get really crafty - like your bumbag/purse under yoursweater...
I actually love it for short flights because you're not stuck behind someone with three pieces of luggage! I flew to Greece on a budget airline with personal item only and the person in front of me must have paid three times their boarding fee because they had a huge amount of luggage. It's Greece people. All you need is a couple of bikini tops, sarong, a loose white blouse.. flip-flops (aka thongs 🇦🇺), toss on a sun hat and you're 👍🏻
Hope you had fun in NOLA 🎉🎶🦐
Let’s design luggage together 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow, that was a ride and half. This is why I just pay the extra and fly the big airlines, I'm too old and tired for all that drama. By the way, I'm on a 7 night trip to WDW right now so I packed my bags two ways, once with packing cubes and once without. Might just be the way I packed either the cubes or the suitcase, but I had more room without the cubes. I could squish more things in and around the clothes without the cubes then I could with the cubes tightly packed.
This is an awesome video! Just food for next time. Spirits terms of service actually state that for a delay over 2 hours, you are entitled to a 400% CASH ( not voucher) refund of your original purchase price. 🥰
Yes I believe the department of transportation has a list what you’re entitled to by airline when things like this happen.
Thanks for the info! I knew there was something like that (from Instagram reels lol)
Where do you put the wheels do they fuss about the wheels being off ?
I love your outfit!! where do you normally shop? Where did you get your jeans? :)
Jeans are from American Eagle! And I’m a total SHEIN girl :)
So much drama! But you technically made money on the flight 😉 Great hacks for Spirit Airlines.
I did! And booked a flight to El Salvador in a few weeks with it!
OMG What a drama. Glad you finally made it to NOLA.
I live in Tampa. I would have come hung out. LOL =D
I’ll keep that in mind if there’s ever a next time! 😂
That Take Off luggage looks great. How durable do you think the removable wheels are for frequent traveling? I am still struggling with choosing a piece of carry on luggage that will fit most every airline. Also maybe you could do a follow up video- What fits on a piece of Take-Off luggage - just for comparison with some others.
I did a packing video here with it that you can watch.
ua-cam.com/video/iFbzZD9VlCs/v-deo.html
It’s not going to be as durable as something like the July carry on light (which is 3.9 pounds) but they do have more wheels you can buy just Incase.
Thanks. I will check that video out.
Throwing out the doll? What? I can't believe the Momma didn't have a pocket. I would have even taken something out of my bag and worn it before I thew away my kid's doll!
Right?!
🤯🤐 WOW you're a better traveler than me I would have lost it lol
Luckily I was only traveling for this video, not for an actual vacation.
@@ItsTheKellys yeah I'm on such a strict budget that I try to do as much research as possible beforehand my friends think I'm nuts but I save money from getting stuck as much as possible. sometimes you absolutely can't help it like in your CDG and New Orleans videos but thankfully you were flexible!
the fanny pack hack is something i do too.oversized boyfriend sweatshirt and tuck a fanny pack underneath lol
Yesssss
LOLLOLLOL 😅😂🤣👍👍This is the funniest video of yours I think !! Lol. You got punished for doing Spirit Hack video !!! Lol. I can't believe that you flew back/ forth !! Lol
I agree w you that they should had let the girl keep her doll !! Where's the SPIRIT !!?? They've done many mean things like that in the past ,too !! I remember seeing it on news !
That carry on suitcase is AWESOME !!! LOL.I had wished if wheels of my luggage could come off before !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Which one do you recommend. Small or XL? Thanks.
The xl won’t work for hacking budget airlines as a personal item. So depends on what you want it for :)
This may seem like a silly question but once you put luggage in sizer to show agent at gate that it fits, can you put wheels back on to wheel on plane and leave the wheels on under the seat?
That’s exactly what I did 😂 once I passed that door, they were back on!
How do the wheels roll on the the takeoff luggage? Is it hard to push when all 4 wheels on the ground, or drag when using 2 wheels? That is the make it or break it for me as I travel with kids and need something that isn’t heavy to move around.
Hi Amy, you can watch my original review here where I tested the wheels :) they have been great.
ua-cam.com/video/Wkmdg7rihpg/v-deo.html
Hey girl I’ve never flown before how do you get away with the Fanny pack don’t they scan you . Would the zipper go off I’m curious 👀
It’s just to cross past the gate agent. That’s the only “test” you have to pass. You take it off for security, like normal
Is SPIRIT only airlines you go thru the 18" nonsense with ? ? thanks for video. great info. I live in UP, MI. 🙂
And Frontier. But frontier is 4627168 times worse!
Lauren, you are utterly incredible. I would have been in the fetal, shoving airport chocolate bars down my gullet after all of that! Hoping your trip was filled with joy! And beignets…
It made it easier since I was only there to film my experience 😂 but yes many beignets were had after this!
When did you put the Fanny pack on after security?
I tucked it under my shirt before heading to the gate :)
When do you put on and take off the hidden purse around your waist? Does security make you take it off?
I had it on normal the whole time except for boarding the plane and therefore hacking the rules. So yes, take it off for security :)
Ok thank you for the speedy reply! Love your videos🎉 learning a lot!
Throwing out the baby doll, they have lost their minds! She should have tucked it in her shirt or given it to her daughter for her personal item.
So exciting you got a voucher! Can't get all that missed time back in the airport but it all worked out in the end!
Have fun!
I was so thankful for the voucher! I used to go to to El Salvador a few weeks later!
Jeez. Would have been less of a hassle to just fly Delta direct to New Orleans and pay a little extra!
Well i was only going to film the luggage, so u didn’t have a choice, but still 700 vs 100 nah. And I got my voucher!
I’ve been binge watching your videos, they are by far the most helpful for luggage and travel!
Looking for a recommendation, please :) I would like to buy my friend a nice small luggage for her 6 year old son. Something small, spinner wheels, and a trolley sleeve so mom can throw it on her suitcase when he gets tired of pulling it. Nothing too cartoonish so that he can use it for a long time without “growing out” of it. Ideas?
So if you want a small suitcase with wheels, there usually isn’t a trolley sleeve.
I am reviewing one soon that is personal item sized and has a trolley sleeve attached though! amzn.to/3GJ3F0g
Otherwise you could get something the size of this one and attach it to the mom’s bag with the cincha travel belt :)
Ok. So if not flying Spirit, could you bring this as a personal item and another carryon that counts as a carryon?
Yes, as long as it fits the allowance :)
Why wouldnt they take care of your hotel, if they cant get you on a flight till the next day?
Right?
Did you have the chance to try this luggage on other occasions. I wonder how the wheels are doing by travellers removing them and putting them back on on numerous occasions.
If you would have fly with Spirit, so you think you could have put the luggage on top of you instead of at your feet? I guess if you put it at your feet it means that you might lack room for your feet... :(
I’ve had this luggage for a while now. I’ve tested the wheels a lot and have put them on and off for months for various videos, and my nephew plays with them all the time. Haha.
Technically a personal item isn’t supposed to go overhead, but you can always try to put it up there, I’m sure it would be fine. I put it at my feet to show how it fits, but I would have loved to put it on top :)
I think you were actually rewarded by the universe for saving the rest of the Americans hundreds of dollars in luggage fees.
I also live your crop top. Where is it from?
Thank you! It’s from SHEIN! it’s actually a set with matching shorts and I may or may not have it in 5 colors 😂
They should have had the kid put the doll around her neck and call it a neck pillow
Right?!?! The kid had already boarded with another parent and it was the other parent that held the doll to board later. Terrible
What a little nightmare! Girl, I'd rather just pay a little more. The luggage is just too cute, though, I may have to get that. Spirit is horrible. Those baby doll murderers! Glad it all worked out for you in the end.
I only flew them to film the luggage, so I had to fly spirit. I’ve honestly had this nightmare on every single airline. Delta to NOLA would have been 700.
@@ItsTheKellys Egads; that's a huge price difference. Well thanks for taking the hit for us girl.😊
Anytime 😂😂
@@ItsTheKellys technically you still came out ahead !? 💲 vs ⏳
Yeah, no. Cheaper does not mean better. Or even, acceptable. Appreciate your patience, though.
Yeah but it’s happened to me on every airline. Delta, American, United, Southwest. Crap happens.
Some of those workers take their jobs too seriously! I would not have thrown my daughter’s toy away… I would have called corporate
Right?!
Jeeze have you experienced this bad before with spirit?
I’ve experienced this with just about every airline. Delta. American. United. International ones.
@@ItsTheKellys that’s true lol I’ve had bad experience with the non budget airlines. I think most of them are pretty bad at this point 😂
They are the Disney of flying.... nickel and dime at every corner.
Thank you for warning me to never fly Spirit Airlines. Unless it’s the last thing I want to do on this earth before Armageddon.
the funny thing is, every airline I have flown this year has been horrible late or cancelled. Its a problem everywhere, not with just Spirit unfortunatley
Way to lose a future customer spirit. That kid will never fly spirit when they’re older.
I would not fly with spirit
This has happened to me on every airline out there. Not just spirit
