- Just thought I would share what I have learned in my years of travels myself and from others. Hope theres something new you can try to get passed the picky airlines.
Check out my other video about trying to buy a last minute flight at the counter in Hong Kong Airport! Can it save you money on a last minute deal?
• Can you buy last minut...
The vest....killing me! I was waiting for you to pull a 50" TV out of that thing!
Yeah i didnt show that part, but it has the space for one. 😂
Hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is so incredibly smart, it's like people might laugh at you by how you would look, but you'd have the last laugh😂
Yeah it's just one day u have to wear this stupid vest...but it helps a lot
Love the overview man I’m cracking up 😂 this is so genius love the vest and the snack bag ideas.
I’ve been using a windbreaker with pockets sewn in for YEARS with all my electronics and heavy items and no airline can object to wearing my gear.
Don’t use cheap plastic bags but rather use a heavier cloth bag ( mine are from various banks ) and I use it as a shopping bag since in most countries they charge for bags at the grocery stores
Who says the younger generation doesn’t have it together Way to go dude
Hey I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching
Now I see how i can carry my 30kg dumbells under my lunch😅😬.
Nice video
Genius mate! After watching your video, I just ordered this cheap fishing vest from amazon as I have my flight to Brazil in a few weeks. I'm flying with Qatar and I'm only allowed 7 kilos and I have lots of camera equipment, plus batteries and accessories. Will wear a couple of shorts with pockets beneath my trousers, so hell yeah, extra pockets LOL.
Should work out amigo! Layer up all those clothes and should be good!
Just found you on UA-cam. Great advice and I’m having fun exploring your videos! Keep up the travel content!
Finally someone that says it all. Good job!
Haha. Hope my video helped you out and was easy to find!
Wow! That's an awesome trick. I will reinforce a paper bag so it will be sturdy enough to put a lot of heavy things. The vest is a great idea too. Thanks a lot for this travel hack!! 😊
I LOVE this!!!!! It’s hilarious and awesome ! I am definitely trying these ideas!
Good tip man. I went to the store today to buy a jacket like this after i saw your video. So low budget flights don't cause me problems again :)
I think a jacket would be better. This vest is not my favorite go to trend setter. Hope your flight worked out!
Your vest cracked me up dude, great tips. What I personally do is i take out all my packing cubes before going to the desk, usually I give them to friends or my girlfriend, and just take them back right after, it works well and it’s easy. Usually customs and security are not in the same area than the air company desk, so you can just leave stuff, get your boarding pass and get it back afterwards.
Cool vid, see you on the road
thanks a lot, i thought of adding zips to long coat, the travel vest is a good idea too. 🚀
Best travel tips ever, so helpful, thanks so much! I'm going to need a vest for sure!
Glad you can use these tips
Very useful video indeed - thank you very much. I am about to travel to Thailand with Thai Airways. I'm not checking any luggage on board as I want to keep travelling simple. Carry on limit is a bit stingy but my main bag is bang on at 7kg - Smaller carry on item also bang on at 1.5kg. However I still have another 2kg of clothing I would like to take. Split into two well compressed 1kg bundles, they both fit into deep pockets on my jacket. Rest of pockets free for usual personal items. Should be no problem. Not confident enough yet for a fishing jacket. Nevertheless, awesome video.
I once traveled with Wizz air (low cost like Ryan Air) traveling only with the personal Item as back pack.
It was quechua backpack like the one in the vid but of 45 literes, i removed the metalic suspension and packed most of my clothes in one big bulk of something like 5 kilos and put inside with a pair of sportshoes, then i compressed the backpack and zipped it with my belt.
It was summer but i was there aboarding with a raincoat and over it my light jacket with many double bags fullfiled with socks, chargers, etc. and the metellic suspension disguised in my shoulder.
I made all the changes in the waiting room 🤣
I also do the plastic bag thing! I keep my duty free bags. Also wear your sling bags as a fanny pack
You are amazing… smart and funny…I am laughing. thanks for the info
The vest cracked me UP! lol! Good going, Jeff!😂😂😇
I did that with my multi pocket jacket ,took some stuff from the check in luggage money saved😁
Soo much money saved. $50 is average it seems now for an extra carry on
😂 I was waiting for him to start pulling rabbits and doves out of those pockets
Nah, that vest is dope! Also, the food bag hack looks like it might work too!
Food or shopping bag somehow works everytime for me. I don't use this vest much honestly
Thanks for the tips. I will add a zip-off trekking pants with lots of pockets, the type where you can convert into shorts if needed.😉
But make sure the pants tight on the waistline.. or else it will fall on ur feet ! 😂😂😂
Yeah I always have those on my travels. Cuz it's like packing 2 in 1. Shorts and pants
Great tips dear....the vest is a must buy item for me now...😀😀
Haha. I hope you can use it when ur in a pickle
You are so funny with the old man fishing vest. LOL a tent!
Yeah it's a hideous vest. I don't use it often but it's a good trick
Iam getting a fishing vest tomorrow from fbook market. Thanks for the brilliant tip. Iam flying using this middle east airline and they said 1 PC 7kg!! Damn it. I can't bring 1 backpack and this handcarry samsonite anymore.
Hope that worked out! Food bag usually works really 👍
When you're in a poor country just get a tailor to make something out of an old raincoat. If it goes down to the knees you'll be able to carry an enormous amount of stuff. Heavy stuff. Heavy stuff should be high, around your shoulders. Light stuff on the bottom so it doesn't swing much when you walk.
Thats a pretty great idea! Thanks for watching and the insightful comment
I was wrong. You don't want a vest design. It would look odd and draw attention. Plus sleeves, if made out of thin material, don't take up much room when folded into a bag. Another idea: Add a sleeve on the back, from top to bottom so when you arrive at your stopover and have to sleep on a cold floor, maybe you can get some cardboard or bubblewrap from some stores to cushion/insulate you.
Also if the top had a roll top extension when converted into a backpack that would be the best. Then it could expand to your needs while there. Sometimes we want to cart around some large items that aren't necessarily expensive, that we won't be bringing home. Its nice to be able to if needed while there. Roll top designs are absolutely the best. Zippers fail and that sucks when you're travelling. But before they fail, try lubricating the track with bar soap. Works surprisingly well. Most zippers fail when forced, when they're sticky and resisting movement. And bar soap is everywhere.
I stuff my hoodie pockets with anything heavy and if i have to i wear a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve and 2 pairs of pants 😆
Man, I love ur approach 😂
Great ideas I am going for 3 weeks and I have an allowance of 8 kg, I am also a female who wants to bring everything lol. Going to a warm climate than cold, so wearing all my heavy clothing
Dude, Your brilliant….The vest is great idea. 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
It's weird but definitely works
Yes but when that bag with food goes through the X-ray machine they will see your hidden items and in Australia or UK you would have to remove that vest for X-ray machine as well. It will really depend on where in the world you are I think.
After the checking and before you passed xray you can just move whatever you have in the vest and place into the backpack that was already weighted by the airlines.
Yeah you have to move things around sometimes more than once depending on checking or security or boarding. Just know what they will be looking at and you can accommodate
LOL! When I travel to Africa max weight for checked bags AND carry on is 33lbs. I wear cargo pants and a camera vest and stuff all my heavy camera gear into those pockets.
Simple and great video! Tent poles and tent stakes? Always ok for the security check?
I also wonder
Exactly needed this😮 wow! Great video dude😉
Hope it works out
Tie two or three colored ribbons of different lengths around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it.
Use a man’s “half windsor” knot for the best look.
Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, turnstile........
Use 3/4” wide ribbons about 12-14” long. Cut the ends at 45 degrees then seal the end with one drop of Super Glue to prevent fraying. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/2” or so, they will all show no matter what. Tie the 3 ribbons as if it were one ribbon using a half Windsor knot.
After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5-6” from the handle. A little longer ribbon shows up better. You can see it from 40 feet away.
Perhaps tie two handles, top and side of case. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a permanent Sharpie.
Choose one ribbon to have an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique.
Lay all 3 ribbons on top of one another. Then tie them with a half Windsor knot, same as a man uses.
Stand by the output hole of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing the piece.
Tie your skiies, duffel bag, and what ever with matching ribbons-even your computer case.
If you are a Travel Agent, you could gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Then send a set of two ribbons, red and blue to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine.
Wow this is a very detailed trick. Thanks for the comment

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is NOT THEIR luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. ua-cam.com/video/q-gLsegazCs/v-deo.html
Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile...
ua-cam.com/video/4NfX2W4DN7E/v-deo.html
These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon.
Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees.
Tie to the base of the handle, tie to the metal buckle. Thus, it will not slip along the handle.
Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers.
Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end.
If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape.
You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away.
Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case.
Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle.
Learn Half Windsor knot tying:
It is the 2nd example in this video
ua-cam.com/video/X0yh5rKB9lE/v-deo.html
This knot does not loosen.
Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie.
Example: “Owner 454-333-7878”
No personal name necessary.
No address necessary on the ribbon.
Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color.
Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece.
Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case.
If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself.
Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible.
Pleasant color combinations:
Red, white and blue
Chartreuse and purple and orange
Orange and light blue
Orange and yellow
Gray and pink
Green and yellow
Red and Green
Red and Gold
Light blue and light green and white
The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan
Tip #2 PICTURE RECORD
Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. Take a picture of the interior. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it.
You can show this picture to the searcher or attach a picture to your report for lost luggage.
Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights.
Tip #3 INSIDE IDENTITY
Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape...
To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape.
Tip #4 HIDDEN IDENTITY
Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show.
Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS
Use 4 ribbons
Add 1 designer ribbon
colored duct taped handle
Stencil SPRAY PAINT a 2” or smaller stencil letter or number or word or your initials to the suit case exterior surface in addition to using all the other ideas here. Stencil spray the BOTTOM OF THE CASE as well.
Stencil spray paint a letter to the TOP ribbon.
Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”.
Put a travel sticker on the case.
Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN
Scales accuracy varies at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a
HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE
It is less than $15.
Tip #7 GPS TRACKING DEVICE
Duct tape to an inside pocket a GSM GPS Tracking device. Find them on Ebay. Your iphone can tell you where your luggage is.
Is it in another city? ua-cam.com/video/qJkUSNIBsP0/v-deo.html
HomingPIN tracker ua-cam.com/video/V96ADrVzhys/v-deo.html
Gego Tracker ua-cam.com/video/EI0ARnEqq-w/v-deo.html
Worldwide Tracker ...GSM, Wifi, Bluetooth
USB rechargeable
Tip #8 OLD TAGS, YOUR ITINERARY
Remove old trip tags before you arrive at the airport. Remove confusion.
Put a copy of your trip itinerary in an outside pocket so the agent can redirect the bag.
Ask the travel agent to send you copies.
Photograph all travel documents using your cell phone.
Tip #9 FLIGHT SAFETY
Put laptops, cameras and jewelry in your CARRY-ON. ua-cam.com/video/fQLIwVXa3oU/v-deo.html
Tip #10 LET LUGGAGE FOLLOW YOU
Choose non stop flights.
Choose connecting flights of at least 90 minutes so luggage has time to be transferred to the next plane.
Compare white luggage destination tag city code to your itinerary for accuracy.
Tip #11 TAKE SCREEN SHOTS OF THESE TIPS
Then share them with your friends. Include the Tube Video seen here also.
Tip #12 PHOTOGRAPH THIS
Your travel plan
Vaccine Passport
Hotel confirmations handwritten by you.
Your luggage, inside and out. Include unusual words spray paint stenciled on luggage by you. Show a close up of ribbon colors.
Your destination luggage tag, bar code tag
Receipts for payment of trip.
If you lose paper versions, you have a backup.
Passcode lock your cell phone in case it is lost.
Tip #13 LUGGAGE DESTINATION TAG
Check the accuracy of the white luggage tag code against your itinerary. You may be sending your luggage to the wrong city.

Tip #15 IF YOU SELL LUGGAGE
Include a set of 3-4 ribbons, 14” long, with the sale. Consider tying them on for the customer. Sell an extra set for the hand carry piece.

Great lil tips. Thanks, 🤩
Vest is +100 travel hack. Thanks ❤ new subscriber, interested in light backpacking travel for camping 🙂
Thanks for the comment. Hope I can share some good material for u
Do you have to eat like a full meal in order to wear that vest with all that weights?
The vest is a smart idea 😂
Thanks very much brother. Tomorrow iam going to do same thing 😂😂😂👍
loved the tips! hope it works!
Hi. Where did you buy your vest ? I like the single big pocket and the 2 big ones in the front. Thx
Can you share your backpack dimensions please?
Do they not ask you to put everything out for the scan (x-ray thing)? I have a flight tomorrow and wondering if this would work?
It might help also to wear all of your thickest, bulkiest, heaviest clothing. Not difficult to do for a few minutes at check in.
Yes you have to take off everything for a scan. But usually security people dont know how much baggage you are allowed so it doesnt matter. Thanks for watching
@@ModelInAVan That's interesting. The airline is watchful over your baggage but the security people don't care how much you are bringing on the plane, only that its safe. Very perceptive of you!
@@FreshAirRules security staff dont work for the airlines are looking at dangerous items not weight
If every one used your trick, would the plane be overweight and crash from the sky into the ocean with all your toiletries scattered into the sea bed?
Don't you think the staff already know? I mean if what you said is true then they would have put a weight limit of a person when they buy the tickets and weight everyone before they enters in plain
They should charge less for people who weight less if body weight is a factor.
@@aroxolaleno1902 yeah humans weigh more than all these toiletries
I think yes, the plane will definitely crash. But then we probably get a sweet settlement too. 🤑
🤣
Unfortunately with most airlines changing there rules on carry on baggage your only aloud one small bag free that is the size of a hand bag which has killed it
Yeah it depends on domestic or international. This is more from international experience. Thanks for watching
Does this work with Frontier and Spirit? What are the dementions of your bag
Bro you're a legend 😂
Gotta do it
Smart idea, but I am wondering why people going through all this effort than having at least 1 checked-in baggage that is free? I only know that it is time consuming, extra work, extra pain when lost. But really if it all works well in terms of experience, you get your checked-in baggage upon arrival.
I am noticing some airlines making carry-on weight limits even less, which is definitely killing passengers with the inconvienences.
Do they not check your vest and like pat you down tho?
It was very helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
very usefull and we can bring coat 🧥 case too ????
I don't know anything about coat cases. Hope you can discover that
Thank you for video 🎉
55L is carry on dimensions? I have a Porter 46 and it barely clears carry on
Your tricks are wonderful
Appreciate the positive feedback
I thought you would pull out a iron or a kettle from your back pocket in ur vest.
Maybe i will try flying with one and see what happens
Can i carry my laptop bag seperately along
with the carry on baggage?
Hahha thank you this is exactly 💯 I need this time 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Glad to help. Thanks for watching
Where did you get your blue crossbody bag?
Literally anywhere. Haha
Maybe tj max?
Thank you for this wonderful tips. Have a safe trip.
Thanks for watching
Love this video! Thank you! Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed. I appreciate the comment
Where did you get the Marshall's bag?!
Good job dude
I pray for you that no airline employee watch your video 😂
It's a gray area it seems like
The hat!! Love it!
Thank u
great video!
Is it ok to do t he vest thing
Can we really do that.
What about the fanny bag you are wearing ?
No secrets in that. Compression straps are a must to make it look smaller though
This is great
Thanks much
Hey can i know did you bring the lunch from home or they can only be brought from the airport?
I always bring from home. Just put in simple plastic bag so it looks like you bought in airport
Man you re genius
Lol you have a Doraemon vest 😂
Doremon!!
And that vest seems pick pocket proof too
Well it has so many options and would confuse a pickpocket. Haha
Ladies, another tip just for you.
Nice 👍
But always they ask to empty my pockets, how I am going to hide all this stuff in a vest ? I love the Idea but not sure I’ll have the Courage to do it
Yes for security you put everything through the scanner. They should be fine with you carrying many things. Tsa doesnt count your carry ons. Just the people at the gate and check in that may ask about your carry ons. Thanks for watching
😂😂😂
You are awesome.
I appreciate you watching
Tell me where i can get a jacket to hide an ATM machine
😂😂😂
Now I know where my friend learned these things
Wow that's good to hear
Thank you so much for sharing.
Your welcome. Hope you can use this next time!
thanksss
@0:49 "If you can only get by with a carry on, you save tons of money in the long run". This is not true. The low cost carriers charge MORE for a carry on than for checked luggage. I know what you meant. You meant get by with a personal item. But what you said gives a completely wrong impression to the average viewer who maybe isn't a frequent flyer.
You are very correct. I agree. I suppose I was using airlines with carry ons included and personal item. It's always an extra minimalism challenge to get by with just the personal item!
Might try bruuh
#ModelinaVan your Great.i love your video man
I appreciate the kind comment
Thanks! :))
Wowww thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
Umm...you're very handsome. How tall are you? Have you ever thought about modeling? For real though.
Clever!
Thanks for the comment. Keep traveling
Not allowed to eat on low cost airlines? Wow
Yeah I have had some flight attendants tell me that. Haha
Most airlines don’t allow liquids and food through🤦♀️
liquids no but food yes
Liquids definitely not. Food almost always has been fine and I've been in 40 countries. Just can't be "certain foods"
@@ModelInAVan i has gravy thrown out once but I don’t remember the airline
👌👍
I thought carryons didn’t have a weight limit.
It depends on so many things. Every country and every airlines is different. And this is just for if you need to cut weight from a bag. Which lots of airlines will check
😅😅😅😅😅thanks
Yeah thanks for watching
Who is the fool who had nrverr figured it out by themselves?
The average person I suppose. Haha
Hahaha🤣🤣👍🤣👍🤣
😂 😂
