I helped another solo travler going to rome Italy I met on our plane to Copenhagen. This is my first time out of my country. Fulfilling my dream of going to a different country. Going to this country for a rock concert and to experience a different culture and learn as much of their language as I can. Your tips helped with comfort in a long plane ride and feeling confident on not being a theft target. Thank you for sharing and being on here !

    Hey Laurie, I found a great travel product to help cut down on liquids and space! The Olay melts facial cleanser. I just bought some for my week in AZ in November. They are tiny and I put the amount I need in one of those silicone zip pouches. They lather amazingly well and not drying at all. I bought the Vitamin C ones. Cleans, tones and refreshes.

  • @vivian9803
    @vivian9803 2 місяці тому +1

    I have the Delsey Paris which resembles the wheeled Amazon underseater in this video. Sometimes it fits under a seat, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the airplane's configuration of the seats in front of you and where you're seated on the plane. From experience, on a Boeing 757-200 and 737-800, I was able to fit the bag completely under the seat in front of me and still had leg room. On a Boeing 717-200, seated next to the window in aisle 26, the space under the seat was half of what it normally would be, so it didn't fit. Beware and be prepared - pack essentials you’ll need during your flight into a slim, separate organizer that you can remove in case you have to put the underseater into the overhead bin.

    I love your videos. They are very informative and you get to the point without taking forever! We will be flying Air France in April and I have not been able to find any carry on or personal bags that fit their tiny guidelines unless they are so below the measurements or over the top expensive. These bags will probably never be used again so I can’t justify spending a lot. Any suggestions for me would be appreciated. I can’t believe the amount of products that I have bought because of your videos. Keep posting those videos with the great links.

    You should review small duffel / gym bags for travel. Last month went to Aruba for 8 days. All I took was a small gym bag 17 (length) x 13 (depth) x 9 (high). I rolled my clothes in those vacuum seal bags. Not sure what bathroom amenities the hotel included so I took toiletries and snacks. Still had lots of space left.
    This fit perfectly longways (widest part) under the window seat of Delta. For the middle seat, have to push it down a little to get under the power outlet. Even fits the smaller Delta aisle seat if you turn it sideways (short end). According to size charts it should fit under seat of other airlines as well.
    Disadvantage ... US costumes / border patrol gets suspicious of a single male traveling alone to Aruba for 8 days with only a small personal item bag.

    Hi…..I have been watching your videos for the last year …very informative! I see you and others choose backpack style carry ons…I don’t know why…but I am rather paranoid about using these…I just have this vision of someone coming up in back of me and getting into it …I prefer cross bodies or types that I can keep in line of vision. I do see in the latest video that you can interlock the zippers on the backpack styles or one probably could wear it in the front? I think my main issue is being able to see it while I am traveling and not wearing it on my back out of my field of vision. Thanks for all the info!

    I just flew on Air Canada where neither my usual roll aboard carry on or personal item that I use on American Airlines fit. The personal item specs were 17x13x6 so much narrower than usual. I had to order about 6 different bags from Amazon to find one. Several of the bags I ordered weren’t the dimensions😊 listed in the description. I also had to get an international size roller carry on. I got the Briggs and Riley hard case because I don’t like a clamshell bag. They are pricier but have a lifetime warranty.

    Hi Laurie! Thank you so much for all you do! I share your videos to my Facebook page because I have a lot of friends who ask me about travel tips. And I want to give credit where credit is due!
    Quick question about the Level8 carryon suitcase you have linked here. Based on one of your videos a long while ago, I purchased the Level8 Grace extended carryon. You are absolutely right - the Level8 wheels cannot be compared to any other bag I’ve used. I also purchased the Ricardo carryon suitcase your son likes. If I could put the Level8 wheels on the Ricardo, I would have the perfect carryon. But back to the Level8.
    The Grace Level8 is considered a 20-inch and has the same dimensions (more or less) as the one recommended today. On the Grace, the capacity is 36L and the storage volume is 42L. On the one you recommended today, both of these figures are 40L. I’ve done some Googling, but I can’t figure out what these measurements really are in terms of how much I can get into my suitcase. I don’t care about how much space it takes up in the luggage bin because I know for my purposes it’s going to be fine on the airlines I fly. I’m looking at how much stuff I can get in the suitcase. Would that be the capacity figure? Thank you so much!

      @PsychicPhilosopher 2 місяці тому

      @@TravelTipsbyLaurie yes. I went to the Amazon link you listed under this video and got the dimensions from it and compared it to the Level8 Grace 20-inch extended model I purchased a year ago. I was trying to see if the bag I already have is the same size inside. The outer dimensions listed in the product specifications are pretty much the same for each bag - yours and mine. But the difference is the “capacity”. Yours is 40L and mine is 36L. I think that means you can get more stuff into yours than I can get into mine. I just wanted to double check I was thinking correctly.

The personal item should not be larger than 40 x 30 x 15 cm on the EU deep discount carriers. The main piece of hand luggage must not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm, including handles and wheels.
