  • There is an easier way to pack a carry-on suitcase for a trip. I will show you travel tips to pack those outfits in your bag with these easier steps. The first way to pack easier is to lay out your outfits like I did. The second way to pack that carry-on is to use the space in-between your suitcase handle bars. Travel Hack: I packed a thin pair of flip flops in an old Amazon bag.

    After I pack most of my carryon, I zip it up and set it upright. That allows things to settle, and then I have more room on the top for stuffing little things! Thanks Laurie!

    With only a few weeks left until our big trip out west, I did a trial pack yesterday with all my new travel tips. One hack I learned is that I put my make up pouch in my fanny pack. I can't believe I am going to be able to pack all my stuff in a carry on for almost three weeks. I am going over all your videos, in case I forgot anything. Thanks for all your tips.

    I bought the compression packs you suggested and used them a couple weeks ago for a 2 week trip to Europe. OMG, they were wonderful! They really helped me to pair down what I took and to fit everything in a smaller suitcase than I usually take for long trips like that. I was lugging my own suitcase this time (no hubby to do the heavy moving for me) and usually use the plastic space bags. They always took up too much space and never fit right in the case. I folded my clothes instead of rolling this time and there actually WAS less wrinkling. I stayed in several different places and found the best part of these bags was that I could quickly unpack and find exactly what I needed. I loved them so much that I just bought a set for my husband as we are heading off to Tahiti next Saturday and want to pack him lite too. (Yep, it’s true, I’m getting in all that travel pent up need in as much as I can this summer 😂). I’ve also used your suggested black/white carryon backpack for several short trips already this year. Can’t live without it now. Been watching you for a long time and so glad I took your advice on these tools and packing suggestions. These took my packing to a whole new worry-free level. Have fun at your seminar!

    We just did an Amtrak train trip and I used your ideas for the "carry-on" for the Roomette. I was so organized that everything worked great for me in the tiny Roomette space. My hubby however, after the first night, said the Roomette was too small. I think that may have been because he didn't pack well, packed last minute and didn't have good access to his stuff. Thank you so much for all the suggestions, you never know when it will come in handy.

    Hi Laurie! I saw that little seat back pack last night at TJ Maxx, and now might go back and buy it. I am a non-rev, standby passenger, too, and never know if there will be room for my roller carry on suitcase. So what I have started doing is pack a small "to go" bag inside my carry on suitcase with a couple of changes of clothes, so that I can pull it out of my roller bag if they make me gate check it. That way, if my gate checked bag gets lost or delayed (which occasionally does happen), at least I've got some clothes for a few days with me if needed. I always keep medication, electronics, toiletries & a spare pair of glasses in my personal item. Thanks as always for the great tips!

      A tip for packing cubes - when deciding what size(s) of ones to get, make sure you measure the inside of your suitcase(s) so you know what kind of space they will need to fit into. I was debating between a couple different sets for a while, but ultimately decided which ones to get based on which set would fit my suitcase best dimension-wise; now, even when I have them completely stuffed, they still fit perfectly in my suitcase.

I guess it is because I have been using my TravelPro for so long. I’m considering getting one for our trip to Europe this fall, because I can take a few more bulky clothes. I leave in two weeks with my mom for Europe. After my sister and I booked our trip for October, my next to youngest daughter told me good I would be here for the birth of her first baby!! And that is how I found out I’m going to be a grandmother for the eighth time!!!! Miss Elizabeth Rose will be here mid-September!! So now I will have 4 boys and 4 girls!! So excited!! ❤️

    Nearing the end of a 10 day trip to visit my mum (same country as me, but 4,000 km away, quite a different climate, and during the transitional fall season), I would like to suggest another tip. About a month before your trip, choose the clothing and shoes you think you want to pack, set them aside, and use those clothes and ONLY those clothes and shoes for the next week. See if hey work for everything you do in a normal day. Check if those shoe you think are comfortable will work for you if you are walking all day. Take a day for each pair of shoes and don't take them off all day. See how your feet feel at the end of the day. It might alert you to gaps in your packing or things that don't work quite as well together or feel as comfortable as you thought. Doing it a few weeks in advance will let you wash the clothes and have them ready to pack, or choose replacements if hey are not as practical as you think they are.

    It's interesting that in the US you can have a personal item bag and a carry-on. I think that here in the UK you can only have one bag in the cabin, so your personal item and your carry on are the same piece of luggage - I think that's how it works. Two items seems quite a luxury! I like the seat back organiser idea for the plane. I'm going to look for one of those! :)

    I love the compression cubes. They really allow more items in a compacted space. I use the fanny pack trick every time. In it, I keep the absolute necessities: passports, credit cards/$$$ (in the mini pink RFID Travelambo), cell phone, and meds. If an emergency occurs, the fanny pack is attached to me and it will make it down the slide. Love the ranger roll.

      I always plan to do laundry, whether laundry service is available (hotel, cruise ship, whoever's house I'm staying at, etc.) or I have to do it myself in the sink, and if I have to do it in the sink, I always wash as I go so I never run out of anything. This past Christmas, even though it was a road trip, I still fit everything I needed into a carryon and personal item (I don't count bags of medical stuff because they don't count as carryon when flying - I have to travel with enough that they need their own bags), and Minnesota gets real winter, so I needed enough warm clothes. This Christmas was 4 weeks; last Christmas, it was 6 weeks and I still almost managed to fit it all into my carryon and backpack - I'll note that the only carryon suitcase I own is a bit smaller than standard, about 19"x12"x7.5", so I'm sure if I had a standard size one, I would have managed perfectly fine. I always roll my clothes really tight and stuff my packing cubes so much that they basically act as compression cubes - even when the cubes are all stuffed to the max, there's still room in my suitcase for a couple pairs of shoes (in bags), a small laundry bag, my toiletries, my purse, a pair of slippers, and another few small items that pack flat. Most of my trips where I fly are 3 1/2 weeks long, and since those are warm weather, I can always fit everything (minus medical) into my backpack and carryon without any problems.

      Hi and yay! So a layover just means you are stopping over for a bit. You may or may not change airplanes and parking spots. You will go through security once and if you check a bag, it will show up in Baggage Claim at your final destination. Your carry-on bags stay with you. Just check your airline's app when you land at the first stop. Type in your flight number of the next airplane, and the app will tell you (while you're driving to your gate) which gate you need to go to in order to fly to the next destination. Does that help>

      Travel insurance is a complicated subject depending on where you live and where you are traveling to. Travel medical insurance is the very least you should consider. Imagine being sick or injured far from home. It isn't just about paying the bill, you may be too badly sick or injured to fly home on a commercial flight. Special medical transport may be required or an extended stay until you are well enough to go home. It can cover funeral arrangements and transport home if you die. Your country may have public health insurance that will cover some but not all travel medical expenses. Your work benefits may cover others. The credit card you use to pay for your trip may offer some assistance but purchasing a policy that covers you completely for a trip would be wise. An old fashioned travel agent, your employer, your bank or your home and auto insurance agent can help steer you to the right coverage providers. Insurance for lost or stolen luggage, trip cancellation, etc. is something you might be willing to take a risk with not having but being caught without medical coverage be devastating.
