Ok, this got me thinking 2 adults and an 11 yr old, we can each have a personal item and a carry on with one big combined checked bag. When you consider checked bags both ways it really adds up. You're still allowed a carry on a back pack right (personal item). I know they allow you to check the back pack as long as there's room in the overhead but I always keep it under my seat for quick access to my laptop/tablet. Good job!
It depends on the airline that you are flying with really. This is a good plan though. I hope that you are able to make it work!

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
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.
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...
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 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 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights.
Tip #3 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
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
4 ribbons
1 designer ribbon
colored taped handle
stencil spray paint a 2” stencil letter or number or word to the suit case surface in addition to using all the ideas here.
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 may vary 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.

Good video. Thank you! Maybe try to pick up a better microphone.
Thank you for checking out my video. I was very upset by the audio and since then I got a new mic. You should check out some other videos to see!
United has me confused. Some flights say no carry on, only a personal bag. And some flights include the carry on and a personal bag. Can you assist with this?
Great question, airlines are changing their baggage policies so frequently. The baggage policy really depends on which class you are flying. Do you know which one that is? They offer a carry on for most flights. Except for if you are flying basic economy. Then they just offer one personal item.
Just beware two years ago when I flew Delta they rejected my carry-on because he said there was no more room and we had to check it at the gate it was an extra $25. I’m about to go on a trip in a month and I’m gonna stick with my personal bag and pack as much as I can and just check a bag. Good luck everybody they’re finding newer ways to screw us
I’m sorry to hear about that. What ever works for you. I don’t think I’m screw-in anybody, if anything it’s the airlines screwing us. Blessings to you
If your bag was fine, they can’t charge you because they do not have space. I’ve never seen that before
Americain airline free first bag and $70 the second bag
There are exceptions to the baggage rules depending on what class, where you are flying, and status you are in. If you are Eligible AAdvantage® Aviator® and Citi® / AAdvantage® cardmembers, AAdvantage® Gold, oneworld® Ruby, Confirmed Business customers, Confirmed Premium Economy customers then the first checked bag is free. Other than that the first bag is $30 and $40 for the second one.
