Fav outfit for the plane are my black joggers with a non-binding waist paired with a comfortable light weight shirt and a zipper hoodie to use if cold. Comfort is the key especially on long flights! Great video Laurie. Blessings!
Exactly what I wear! I found a lightweight hooded jacket on Amazon with two exterior zipper pockets and two deep interior pockets - perfect for travel!
I recently discovered a little secret spot to pack your pjs or some T-shirts. Although we already use that valley inside the suitcase where the handle slides down, you can also stuff something in the actual hole where the handle comes out! The items do not interfere with sliding the handle in and out due to the metal tubes that contain the handle when it is down. (does that even make sense?🤔). Not a lot of extra room but as you know, every inch counts! Just don’t try to stuff a lot in there as it will negate the “valley” inside. Hope this helps!🩷
This past year I’ve had to travel a lot, which is a switch up for a homebody like me, so I’m learning how to travel light and practical. Your videos are very helpful. My big travel tip is that I wear jewelry that doesn’t set off the alarms because I’m always in such a flap when I go through security. I have a couple of stone necklaces (jade, etc) on leather thongs.
Over the years and my not-so-many travels, I've learned that comfortable clothes are key to ensuring a relaxed self. I don't particularly care anymore about what other people think (I used to, tbh) so I take care to choose items that are comfy but still kind of put together so I don't look like I just got out of bed. 😄 Thank you for your outfit recommendations. I have kid-size feet so I hope I can find shoes similar to the ones you feature.
as a guy, I wear black golf pants. they're made to be flexible and comfortable, mine are made to wear either with or without a belt, and mine have a pair of soft rubber strips in the waistband that help keep a shirt tucked in, or keep the pants from slipping down. and they're cut like casual slacks, so they look good.
Suggestions: instead of wearing necklaces, try wearing a lightweight brightly colored scarf and drape accordingly. Also, I use a small drawstring bag as a laundry bag. Instead of packing large brush and combs, try using children's sizes.
Hello Laurie, I am going with a group of 11 ladies to Italy June, 2025 for 2 weeks. I am so thankful I found you on youtube. Your videos have been so helpful. Looking forward to watching them all.
I just bought those same Ecco sneakers in that same color. My first pair of Eccos ever. I love them. I have zero arches in my feet and they feel wonderful! I wear them everywhere. ❤
Jogger scrub pants are my go-to for travel day pants. They double as my lounge pants in the hotel at my destination. I switch to hiking jogger pants if my destination is going to be hotter or I’ll be doing more active stuff. Love your videos - keep them coming!
Love their compression socks. I can teach elementary school all day and then spend a couple hours at church and my feet don’t ache. Game changer since I’ve been teaching for 29 years!
I travel in a comfy 3/4 sleeve tee with a cardigan (often just around my shoulders) that’s easy to put on if I get cold. I always war elastic waistband knit straight leg pants that look a bit dressier than joggers. (They’re Talbots everyday straight leg with a split hem. Super comfortable!). I also love to wear my On shoes (I’m eyeing the waterproof ones next - thanks for recommending them.). I am an avid follower and love your smart tips❣️👏🏼
Hi Laurie, Flying to Amsterdam, spending a few days, then Cruising the British Isles!!! Love your videos.. I think I have binged watched almost all of them! Thank you so much for making these for us. You have made me totally change how and what I was packing. I am going to add a pair of lightweight black palazzo pants ( leftover from my son’s wedding) and a black lightweight long cardigan sweater with a couple of pretty tops to trade out. I think we have at least 2 formal nights! But the rest will all mix and match with a couple of pairs of pants and jeans! I always rewear outfits at home but for some reason I didn’t transfer it to vacation packing!!! The hubs and I are planning lots of travel since we are both retired from teaching. Maybe we will run into each other at a vacay destination. I would be so excited to meet you in person! Thanks again and happy travels!
I just tried the Wit and Wisdom jeans! Omg they are exactly what I’ve been looking for! So comfortable and great quality! Thank you for all your tips! ❤😊
The Travelon cross-body bags are the best; I discovered them last summer (before I discovered you). My choice was the Painted Floral because I think that it was the least likely to be stolen. My primary criterion for any purse is ergonomic efficiency, so I got the cranberry for daily use.
Hi there! I love your tips and recs for travel. My husband and I are going to Scotland at the end of this month. I know it’ll be chilly but we are so looking forward to it!
Fifth trip to Panama City, Central America. This trip looking for a residence. Temps usually around 70* give or take 5* so it gives me many options and I stay comfortable. Shoes are important as in the old City, cobblestone, but it varies. Compression socks a must for flight & waiting in lines through airport. A wide shawl often used on flights, Always a personal bag by feet w/small crossbody ready to take out, of needed items for long flight. This helps so much as does a phone holder to go over edge of tray table. Enjoy traveling you all!
Laurie, I just love all of your tips! Before a big trip I always binge watch your videos. I learn so many new things with each video. We are going back to Hawaii for 11 days in January. Funny thing is that we found out yesterday that we have a new grand baby (#5) due 6 days before we leave😬
First international trip to Japan is this year. Close to an 11 hour flight I believe, longest flight I've been on for sure. Enjoy your videos! This one has been helpful. I got a shirt, but haven't figured out bottoms yet 😅
I ordered the "New" joggers you got off of Amazon and just got them. These are my new airplane pants. I ordered the full length pants and just went back and ordered three pairs of the capris for my upcoming trip. These are SO amazing. A little long for me but my shoes should deal with that. Thank you for recommending them. My husband is jealous they don't have his size!
I love your coordinating ideas - love travelling in comfort - the light green pants are cute but I would never fly in them as they will immediately attract dirt and anything else that would love to fall on me - lol
Love your straightforward approach to tips! Thank you for these tips. I can feel my mindset slowly changing/improving as I watch your videos in preparation for my upcoming flight. 😊
Hi Laurie - thank you for all the time and effort as it really helps! We are going to Greece for the first time in October and I am trying to figure out the weather and what to pack in just a carry on. I am sure there will be lessons learned.
Flying with our local Sr. Center group to Nova Scotia in July! Estimated to be 70 - 80 degrees during the day, but I'll definitely take 1 set of warmer clothes b/c summer evenings in upstate NY used to be pretty chilly when we lived there, figure that will still be the case even further North. Always travel with one "just in case" opposite weather option, & generally am so glad I did! I like the idea of using an empty travel cube with jacket stuffed inside for a pillow, & maybe it would also work for dirty laundry on return trip. Hmm. that might be a bit stinky using as a pillow tho, so will scratch that idea!!
We are heading to Vancouver Island and your tip for using cling wrap on jewelry is brilliant. Going forward, 😊I will always do this for travelling. Thank you Laurie!
Your dog is soooo cute!!! I got the wheel covers for my trip in July but they do ride nice around the house!! My mom had every version and color of those tshirts and had them cropped to just below her waist with her skirts!! Too bad she was so tiny!! We gave away literally almost 200 because she was afraid they'd stop making them! RIP 🙏mom❤
I just ordered the On cloud waterproof shoes for a River cruise on the Rhine River next April. I saw that you recommended them so I ordered them. I am slowly ordering things you recommend so that it won’t be so expensive to get the thing I need. Thanks for all your great tips!
I love t-shirt and jogger sets from Amazon as my plane outfits. They’re comfortable but still look pulled together. I wear it on the flight over, wash it in the hotel sink, and wear it on the flight home. I keep a pashmina in my personal item bag if I get cold.
Hi, Laurie! You are my favorite online travel advisor. I just discovered your videos a few months ago when beginning my plans for next month's trip to Portugal and Spain. I wanted to add a suggestion for good travel pants: Lands' End "Starfish MidRise Slim Leg Pants". I've been wearing them for years and I love them. They are slimmer and tapered at the bottom. They can be dressed up or down, they come in several colors, and they aren't baggy! (The only thing these pants lack are pockets, but my Chico's Zenergy sleeveless travel vest with 4 zippered pockets makes up for that.) I feel like I'm wearing my pajamas! Thank you again for your helpful and entertaining videos.
My go-to Airplane outfit is the Athleta Endless High Rise Pant (which feel as comfy as leggings but look like dress pants, also wrinkle resistant and quick drying if I need to wash on the go) pair that with a white tee and Athleta Pranayama long wrap (which is the softest thing I own). Not only are these my absolute most comfortable pieces they also make me feel like I look well put together even after sleeping on a long flight. For footwear, I love your tip for orthotic inserts. I wear Sam Edelman Talia Gum Sole Leather and Suede Dual Strap Street Sneakers, which are Velcro (props to Sam) straps.
Love the Loft joggers! The only ones I’ve ever found that have pockets that I actually like. My husband even commented on how well he thought they look on me. 😂❤😂. I am 5’7 and currently weigh 180, with an athletic build. I had to size down to a medium and still have plenty of room. I have navy and black. 😊💕😊💕
Hi Laurie! We're taking our first river cruise in France in August. I've already seen your video 😊. I'm also from Texas and love your stamp collector shirt. 🎉
@@lauranygaard4371 Do you mean tops or shoes or both? I wear them with white tennis shoes, sandals or my ballet flats. For tops I usually go with a more fitted style rather than loose and long like a tunic - I just think it looks more put-together.
Laurie I have been watching you for a while and so appreciate your tips!! I’m in KY. We are going to LA this week and Italy in the fall. Love your outfit ideas! Thank you and keep making content❤
I have that same little navy umbrella and love it.Took it to Walt Disney World and was all I needed as well. I didn't need to use my cheap poncho but glad I had it.
Thank you, Laurie. I have learned so much from you! Just returned from New Orleans and I didn’t over pack! I took two carry ons and also used a vest to store clothing- From Amazon . I have a couple of days trip to Las Vegas in the next month and I will carry on again.
Great info! So glad I found your videos. My sister and I are going to London and beyond. Not sure yet where the beyond will take us. Our first international travel trip.
Hi Laurie, I so love you and your channel! I am heading to Greece in a couple of weeks and I’m looking for the Loft T-shirts. There are so many. What style did you show? Thanks for your time and expertise!
Leaving in a few weeks for Australia(Oct). Nervous about the LONG flight. I have learned so much from you and have ordered many things from Amazon. Will be gone nearly 3 weeks so I'm taking a bit more but have the compression cubes. Thanks for your great hacks. One of the most nerve racking was traveling with my meds. Checked with my pharmacy and they do the pillow packs. They will do a month for me with over the counter and prescription. Only charged $15. It will save me so much room and weight.
Oh my goodness, that is a huge tip. Thanks. But are they called pillow packs? If you see the Notnodi neck pillow there, get it. It's so cool and works if you're not in first class.
Thanks for the clothing ideas. We are going to Egypt this Fall and I am considering taking only a carry-on suitcase for that trip. It will be hot when we land so my clothes will be lighter to pack, I think!
I luv pajama jeans for travel -- especially the dark ones. The light ones I can cuff up and wear for outside excursions. Many blouses that you showcase, I can just shop my closet. So, TY for of the fashion possibilities w/o spending too much $$$.
Hi Laurie I’m Sandy. We haven’t met yet. We are going on our 35th wedding anniversary trip to Italy in October 2024. Rome, Bari and Lecce for two and one half weeks. I’m studying your videos as I’m a heavy packer. I have a small mono suitcase carry on and for my tote I have the Nomad Benton bag coming. We will travel by first class trains for the most part of our trip and I know traveling light will make our trip more enjoyable. Thanks for letting me share.
Hi Laurie: heading off to London then Belgium for 2-1/2 weeks very end ofAugust into September. I am really going to try this time to pack less. I’ve enjoyed your tips. BTW, sweating from sitting on airplane seats in shorts is called “swass”.
An air safety expert recommends wearing natural fibres only in case of a fire on board (synthetic would stick to your skin). Whatever clothes I wear on a long haul flight I won’t wear when I get there, personal choice, just find it icky.
Hi Laurie! I'm heading to my favorite spot in the US. It's a guest ranch in northern Colorado and it's magical. Last night I booked my flights for Scottsdale AZ over Thanksgiving. I may pick up the Eccos in blush. I'm also 5'8" and I like a nice, clean line when wearing shorts.
Hi Laura. I have so enjoyed all of your tips. I’ve taken so many notes and shared them with my girlfriends who are also traveling to other parts of the world. I’m going to be doing my capsule look through here really soon I just got Marino wool top from Amazon. Being I live in a very hot area in California, I’ll use it a lot Thank you once again for all your incredible tips sending love from LIZ in California heading off to Germany soon
As always, ❤your information. Loving the new color pants and it does look great with navy. And the triple necklace. Now I have to look for those wheel covers I saw in the video. My suitcase is noisy at our airport, hoping that helps. Thank you!
Hi. I just discovered your TH-cam channel. My husband and I are planning a trip for 2026. We are flying from Vancouver, Canada to New Zealand. We will be taking a 19 day small group tour consisting of travel by rail, cruise and coach. After the tour, we have one week to ourselves, culminating in arrival back to Auckland, NZ. After this, a 25 day repositioning cruise home to Vancouver. Any tips for this trip combining lots of outdoor activities followed by a long sea voyage home. How light can we pack given this itinerary?
I recently found your channel, and I'm loving your tips. Here's one I use a medicine case to hold jewelry for travelling. I have a picture but not sure how to load it here.
My go to travel outfit … JJill grey , teal or black dress . Does not wrinkle . Can roll them . have in all three colors . Bought back in 2018. Wear with leggings . Come slightly above my knee .
Froze on a flight Miami to Rio de Janeiro. Merino navy wool hoodie, navy flowered JM Collection (Macys), Eddie Bauer navy Departure pants, Orthofeet slip on sneakers for me for every flight!
Hi Laurie! I love your videos! I’ve heard you mention that you travel Stand By a lot. Have you or can you make a video on tips for Stand By travel success? I’ve never traveled Stand By and it seems kind of intimidating. Thanks for your help!
Hi, I just do not know all of the airline's standby rules so I do not think it would help. And I never say who my husband works for so that just will not work.
These are excellent ideas for our upcoming LAX to Heathrow flight. QUESTION: ask your husband what he wears AS A PASSENGER on long hauls. Mine (the wife of a DFW pilot) is so used to flying in his uniform 10-16 hrs and thinks he will wear jeans all day and night.
Hi I have seen salad in a lettuce container from the grocery store. I took tuna salad and ate it before the flight and trashed my container-even in a baggie. Pretzels, chocolate chips mixed. Any chips or a sandwich.
Love your videos and information. Question - do you have travel pillow recommendations? I've used a Turtl for a very long time, but I'm looking for a change.
You always have very good tips. I'm off to London soon. Something that I would like to know is, how does one stay feeling fresh while traveling? I always start to feel icky and wish I could take a shower lol
Many people have a refresh pouch they take to the lavatory near the end of the flt (seatbelt sign comes on 45 mins before landing fyi). They put a wash cloth and toner, eye drops, and toothpaste tablets and get refreshed with a bottle of water too. Staying hydrated during the flight will help too. I also use LMNT packets for that very first day of touring while waiting for the room to be ready.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie This will be my third cruise with Avalon but my daughter's first. I did watch that video however :). Getting excited and ready to go.
Great video since I will be going to Italy in September and wondering how to dress comfortably on the airplane. I would love to know how to pack for a seven day Mediterranean cruise in a carry on when I will need outfits not only for the daytime by for dinner.
I’m really enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the info! When you take a rolling carry on, how often do you get stuck gate checking that bag? We’re going to Spain with just a carry on and personal item. I’m wondering if you think I should still pack an extra change of clothes in my backpack (personal item) in case they make me gate check the rolling case.
I’ll be having a long flight from Paraguay to Michigan in July, @ 23 hrs travel time door to door. Also, it’s winter here in the southern hemisphere but it will be summer in the states.
Aloha from Hawaii. Love your travel tips. I, too, like to wear comfy pants on the plane. I prefer joggers or leggings because they stay off the restroom floor, if you know what I mean. Also, your tip about using a packing cube as a pillow for your tray ... beware... flying to Japan, the lady in front of me decided to suddenly recline ... and DANG ... she hit my head! Ouch! May I ask if you recommend a travel capsule with mostly graphic tee tops? Thanks!👍
Ouch is right! The seats do recline fast sometimes. I would wear a graphic tee for daily theme dressing everyday if I could lol. They go with everything! I bet you can do that.
I feel the cold , so I wear flared leggings and a hoody as it can get cold plus have shirt underneath the hoody in case I get warm . I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 love your videos

I do a denim jacket because it has 5 pockets. The interior pockets are very deep and secure so I never worry about anything falling out.
Exactly what I wear! I found a lightweight hooded jacket on Amazon with two exterior zipper pockets and two deep interior pockets - perfect for travel!
Yes, love comfort for long flights!

The hack of placing necklaces on the sticky food wrap is brilliant!
I have never used it b/c that is too high maintenance, but it works!
Great video with wonderful ideas. I wear Bombas support stockings on long flights. They are mostly cotton and are easy to put on.

This trip looking for a residence. Temps usually around 70* give or take 5* so it gives me many options and I stay comfortable. Shoes are important as in the old City, cobblestone, but it varies. Compression socks a must for flight & waiting in lines through airport. A wide shawl often used on flights, Always a personal bag by feet w/small crossbody ready to take out, of needed items for long flight. This helps so much as does a phone holder to go over edge of tray table.
Enjoy traveling you all!
Ooh thanks for watching this video and for your tips.
Laurie, I just love all of your tips! Before a big trip I always binge watch your videos. I learn so many new things with each video. We are going back to Hawaii for 11 days in January. Funny thing is that we found out yesterday that we have a new grand baby (#5) due 6 days before we leave😬
First international trip to Japan is this year. Close to an 11 hour flight I believe, longest flight I've been on for sure. Enjoy your videos! This one has been helpful. I got a shirt, but haven't figured out bottoms yet 😅
I just received my national park compression cubes! Trying those out this week 😊
Love that pattern and company's quality!
I ordered the "New" joggers you got off of Amazon and just got them. These are my new airplane pants. I ordered the full length pants and just went back and ordered three pairs of the capris for my upcoming trip. These are SO amazing. A little long for me but my shoes should deal with that. Thank you for recommending them. My husband is jealous they don't have his size!
SOOOO comfortable!
I love your coordinating ideas - love travelling in comfort - the light green pants are cute but I would never fly in them as they will immediately attract dirt and anything else that would love to fall on me - lol
Yes, great thing to consider.
Love your straightforward approach to tips! Thank you for these tips. I can feel my mindset slowly changing/improving as I watch your videos in preparation for my upcoming flight. 😊
As always, another great tips and hacks video. Thank you Laurie! ❤
Thanks for watching!
HAHAHAHAAA!! 10ish before the river cruise. That is totally me. Stretch waists are the best for traveling. Diet? What diet? 😆 You're hilarious.
Love the travel outfit ideas. Your color coordination is on point. Thanks for the great ideas.
Hope the printable helped. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy your tips, Laurie! God Bless you and your family!
How about taking an empty folded packing cube to put extras in ( instead of plastic grocery bag), use as pillow.
Saying"hey!" My husband and I are doing the Rhine next year, so you're on our research list! Thank you for doing these videos!
Hi Laurie - thank you for all the time and effort as it really helps! We are going to Greece for the first time in October and I am trying to figure out the weather and what to pack in just a carry on. I am sure there will be lessons learned.
Oh yes! If you can pair down the shoes for cement and stairs, then make everything match, you'll be great! Have fun.
Flying with our local Sr. Center group to Nova Scotia in July! Estimated to be 70 - 80 degrees during the day, but I'll definitely take 1 set of warmer clothes b/c summer evenings in upstate NY used to be pretty chilly when we lived there, figure that will still be the case even further North. Always travel with one "just in case" opposite weather option, & generally am so glad I did! I like the idea of using an empty travel cube with jacket stuffed inside for a pillow, & maybe it would also work for dirty laundry on return trip. Hmm. that might be a bit stinky using as a pillow tho, so will scratch that idea!!
Love your travel videos. Have learned a lot of helpful tips. 🛫
We are heading to Vancouver Island and your tip for using cling wrap on jewelry is brilliant. Going forward, 😊I will always do this for travelling. Thank you Laurie!
Wonderful!
Your dog is soooo cute!!! I got the wheel covers for my trip in July but they do ride nice around the house!!
My mom had every version and color of those tshirts and had them cropped to just below her waist with her skirts!! Too bad she was so tiny!! We gave away literally almost 200 because she was afraid they'd stop making them! RIP 🙏mom❤
Aww RIP
I just ordered the On cloud waterproof shoes for a River cruise on the Rhine River next April. I saw that you recommended them so I ordered them. I am slowly ordering things you recommend so that it won’t be so expensive to get the thing I need. Thanks for all your great tips!
I took out the sole and added my inserts. They now have a newer one that I love with my inserts.
I love t-shirt and jogger sets from Amazon as my plane outfits. They’re comfortable but still look pulled together. I wear it on the flight over, wash it in the hotel sink, and wear it on the flight home. I keep a pashmina in my personal item bag if I get cold.
When you find a comfortable outfit for the airplane, it's a go-to.
Hi, Laurie! You are my favorite online travel advisor. I just discovered your videos a few months ago when beginning my plans for next month's trip to Portugal and Spain. I wanted to add a suggestion for good travel pants: Lands' End "Starfish MidRise Slim Leg Pants". I've been wearing them for years and I love them. They are slimmer and tapered at the bottom. They can be dressed up or down, they come in several colors, and they aren't baggy! (The only thing these pants lack are pockets, but my Chico's Zenergy sleeveless travel vest with 4 zippered pockets makes up for that.) I feel like I'm wearing my pajamas! Thank you again for your helpful and entertaining videos.
Thanks so much Allison!
Love your videos so very informative. We are traveling to Spain and Portugal in late September. 19 days traveling by train. Just my husband and I.
Look forward to your videos, always so informative!
Glad to hear it!
Gotta love the word stretchy😂
My go-to Airplane outfit is the Athleta Endless High Rise Pant (which feel as comfy as leggings but look like dress pants, also wrinkle resistant and quick drying if I need to wash on the go) pair that with a white tee and Athleta Pranayama long wrap (which is the softest thing I own). Not only are these my absolute most comfortable pieces they also make me feel like I look well put together even after sleeping on a long flight. For footwear, I love your tip for orthotic inserts. I wear Sam Edelman
Talia Gum Sole Leather and Suede Dual Strap
Street Sneakers, which are Velcro (props to Sam) straps.
Love the Loft joggers! The only ones I’ve ever found that have pockets that I actually like. My husband even commented on how well he thought they look on me. 😂❤😂. I am 5’7 and currently weigh 180, with an athletic build. I had to size down to a medium and still have plenty of room. I have navy and black. 😊💕😊💕
Awesome; thanks for your take on them.
Hi Laurie! We're taking our first river cruise in France in August. I've already seen your video 😊. I'm also from Texas and love your stamp collector shirt. 🎉
Oh how amazing! I hope you have beautiful memories.
I'm 5'10.5". I love Athleta Brooklyn and Endless pants. I wait for sales. They are so worth it.
I have both the Brooklyn and Endless pants too. What do you wear with them?
Yes, and have you tried the 32"+ pants I showed? Maybe they were not in this video: bit.ly/3wFM2MG
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thanks - I Hve a 34/35¨ inseam.
@@lauranygaard4371 Do you mean tops or shoes or both? I wear them with white tennis shoes, sandals or my ballet flats. For tops I usually go with a more fitted style rather than loose and long like a tunic - I just think it looks more put-together.
Great, thanks! I never know what goes with them and generally wear a fitted tee.
Laurie I have been watching you for a while and so appreciate your tips!! I’m in KY. We are going to LA this week and Italy in the fall. Love your outfit ideas! Thank you and keep making content❤
Ooh have a great long flight to Italy!
Enjoy your river cruise!
Great tips! Thank you so much!
I have that same little navy umbrella and love it.Took it to Walt Disney World and was all I needed as well. I didn't need to use my cheap poncho but glad I had it.
Thank you, Laurie. I have learned so much from you! Just returned from New Orleans and I didn’t over pack! I took two carry ons and also used a vest to store clothing- From Amazon . I have a couple of days trip to Las Vegas in the next month and I will carry on again.
Great job!
Love your tips, but can we talk about that sweet baby that is in your video! I just want to hug him/her.♥️
Great info! So glad I found your videos. My sister and I are going to London and beyond. Not sure yet where the beyond will take us. Our first international travel trip.
You will just love it and learn so much.
Hi Laurie,
I so love you and your channel! I am heading to Greece in a couple of weeks and I’m looking for the Loft T-shirts. There are so many. What style did you show? Thanks for your time and expertise!
Hi, it's the Love Loft brand. They get new ones all the time.
Update on my order of the wit& wisdom pants. Love them, perfect fit and look 👀 great 👍🏻, very comfortable. Thank you Laurie for another great tip.
They really are comfortable for me. Are they cropped on you or long? I am 5'8"
I know my Pandora bracelet & 2 silver bangles set the alarm off in security so I put them in my small crossbody bag.
Going to Spain in October. Love your tips.
Have fun!
Leaving in a few weeks for Australia(Oct). Nervous about the LONG flight. I have learned so much from you and have ordered many things from Amazon. Will be gone nearly 3 weeks so I'm taking a bit more but have the compression cubes. Thanks for your great hacks. One of the most nerve racking was traveling with my meds. Checked with my pharmacy and they do the pillow packs. They will do a month for me with over the counter and prescription. Only charged $15. It will save me so much room and weight.
Oh my goodness, that is a huge tip. Thanks. But are they called pillow packs? If you see the Notnodi neck pillow there, get it. It's so cool and works if you're not in first class.
Thanks for the clothing ideas. We are going to Egypt this Fall and I am considering taking only a carry-on suitcase for that trip. It will be hot when we land so my clothes will be lighter to pack, I think!
Yes!! Have fun.
Great tips, as always 💜💜
I am headed to Florida Dec. 19th for parathyroid surgery. Really needing the stretchy, comfy clothing ideas. Thanks
Yay, comfortable outfits will help. Hope it goes smoothly for you.
Hello, I'm flying out of Oklahoma City to Boston, then on to Salem MA. I enjoy all your videos. 😊
Pack a sweater because Salem is right on the Atlantic ocean and mornings and evenings can get chilly. Have fun!
OKC!🎉🎉
My favs are a pair of black yoga pants. They look a little smarter than trackies, but go well with handwashing and dry pretty quick
Hi, I’m Jenny. I’ve been watching your videos before going on our Europe River Cruise. You have such good tips on traveling. Thank you!
Have fun!
I just ordered the wit and wisdom pants in tan for my upcoming trip to the UK&EU
Hi, hope you love them. If you do not, return them. This is your vacation!
I luv pajama jeans for travel -- especially the dark ones. The light ones I can cuff up and wear for outside excursions. Many blouses that you showcase, I can just shop my closet. So, TY for of the fashion possibilities w/o spending too much $$$.
Hope the freebie helped too. Great idea!
Hi Laurie I’m Sandy. We haven’t met yet. We are going on our 35th wedding anniversary trip to Italy in October 2024. Rome, Bari and Lecce for two and one half weeks. I’m studying your videos as I’m a heavy packer. I have a small mono suitcase carry on and for my tote I have the Nomad Benton bag coming. We will travel by first class trains for the most part of our trip and I know traveling light will make our trip more enjoyable. Thanks for letting me share.
Oh have fun!
Hi Laurie: heading off to London then Belgium for 2-1/2 weeks very end ofAugust into September. I am really going to try this time to pack less. I’ve enjoyed your tips. BTW, sweating from sitting on airplane seats in shorts is called “swass”.
An air safety expert recommends wearing natural fibres only in case of a fire on board (synthetic would stick to your skin). Whatever clothes I wear on a long haul flight I won’t wear when I get there, personal choice, just find it icky.
Hi Laurie! I'm heading to my favorite spot in the US. It's a guest ranch in northern Colorado and it's magical. Last night I booked my flights for Scottsdale AZ over Thanksgiving. I may pick up the Eccos in blush. I'm also 5'8" and I like a nice, clean line when wearing shorts.
Oh magical indeed. Have a crisp and clean, beautiful trip!
Hey Laurie, I didn't see a link for the blush tennis shoes. Love your channel, you are so down to earth. Patti
Hi they should pop up because I can do that. Here they are: bit.ly/3SZCeWG
Hi Laura. I have so enjoyed all of your tips. I’ve taken so many notes and shared them with my girlfriends who are also traveling to other parts of the world. I’m going to be doing my capsule look through here really soon I just got Marino wool top from Amazon. Being I live in a very hot area in California, I’ll use it a lot Thank you once again for all your incredible tips sending love from LIZ in California heading off to Germany soon
Thankful for your tips as I plan travel from Ohio to Italy
Have fun! Gotta be comfy for that flight.
As always, ❤your information. Loving the new color pants and it does look great with navy. And the triple necklace. Now I have to look for those wheel covers I saw in the video. My suitcase is noisy at our airport, hoping that helps. Thank you!
Hi, I listed them for ya: amzn.to/3VlD5SF
Hi. I just discovered your TH-cam channel. My husband and I are planning a trip for 2026. We are flying from Vancouver, Canada to New Zealand. We will be taking a 19 day small group tour consisting of travel by rail, cruise and coach. After the tour, we have one week to ourselves, culminating in arrival back to Auckland, NZ. After this, a 25 day repositioning cruise home to Vancouver. Any tips for this trip combining lots of outdoor activities followed by a long sea voyage home. How light can we pack given this itinerary?
I recently found your channel, and I'm loving your tips. Here's one I use a medicine case to hold jewelry for travelling. I have a picture but not sure how to load it here.
Great video. Can you do a video on foods to pack for super long flights?
My go to travel outfit … JJill grey , teal or black dress . Does not wrinkle . Can roll them . have in all three colors . Bought back in 2018. Wear with leggings . Come slightly above my knee .
Ooh above the knee? Thx
Froze on a flight Miami to Rio de Janeiro. Merino navy wool hoodie, navy flowered JM Collection (Macys), Eddie Bauer navy Departure pants, Orthofeet slip on sneakers for me for every flight!
Freezing is miserable in an airplane!
Hi Laurie! I love your videos! I’ve heard you mention that you travel Stand By a lot. Have you or can you make a video on tips for Stand By travel success? I’ve never traveled Stand By and it seems kind of intimidating. Thanks for your help!
Hi, I just do not know all of the airline's standby rules so I do not think it would help. And I never say who my husband works for so that just will not work.
These are excellent ideas for our upcoming LAX to Heathrow flight. QUESTION: ask your husband what he wears AS A PASSENGER on long hauls. Mine (the wife of a DFW pilot) is so used to flying in his uniform 10-16 hrs and thinks he will wear jeans all day and night.
Yes, it feels so weird; he actually wore a t-shirt coming home from Amsterdam after the cruise. He wears Costco pants-Gerry? and usually a polo shirt.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Greg? Like Greg Norman, the golfer?
Since you just asked, I 'm headed to Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam the end of this year.
Oh how beautiful! So many people are flying there.
Fantastic video as always. Me after my cruise….bulky & boxy! 😂
For sure me! Hope the free printable helps too.
Hello Laurie. My name is Jennifer, from Ohio. My husband and I will be heading to Ireland in the fall.
Sounds great!
Laurie, try the brand 32 degrees. Their different style pants are great. I just discovered them and love them. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the tip!
I like to pack light weight joggers that don't wrinkle when I travel. They don't take up much space, especially when put into compression cubes.
Soooo helpful!
Thanks for another great video. Great tips! My sister and I are going on an African Safari in southern Africa in July. Any tips?
Oh how cool! I have never been
Ms. Laurie - do you have any suggestions on what to bring along for meals/snacks and avoiding airport food prices? Txs.
Hi I have seen salad in a lettuce container from the grocery store. I took tuna salad and ate it before the flight and trashed my container-even in a baggie. Pretzels, chocolate chips mixed. Any chips or a sandwich.
Love your videos and information. Question - do you have travel pillow recommendations? I've used a Turtl for a very long time, but I'm looking for a change.
You always have very good tips. I'm off to London soon. Something that I would like to know is, how does one stay feeling fresh while traveling? I always start to feel icky and wish I could take a shower lol
Baby wipes help a lot. I hate feeling grungy after a flight too.
Many people have a refresh pouch they take to the lavatory near the end of the flt (seatbelt sign comes on 45 mins before landing fyi). They put a wash cloth and toner, eye drops, and toothpaste tablets and get refreshed with a bottle of water too. Staying hydrated during the flight will help too. I also use LMNT packets for that very first day of touring while waiting for the room to be ready.
Great video. I'm headed to Europe for an Avalon River cruise at the end of July. :)
Oh nice! We returned from Avalon Expression and loved it! Here is my review if it will help: bit.ly/ReviewAvalonExpressionRiverCruiseShip
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie This will be my third cruise with Avalon but my daughter's first. I did watch that video however :). Getting excited and ready to go.
Great video since I will be going to Italy in September and wondering how to dress comfortably on the airplane. I would love to know how to pack for a seven day Mediterranean cruise in a carry on when I will need outfits not only for the daytime by for dinner.
I’m really enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the info! When you take a rolling carry on, how often do you get stuck gate checking that bag? We’re going to Spain with just a carry on and personal item. I’m wondering if you think I should still pack an extra change of clothes in my backpack (personal item) in case they make me gate check the rolling case.
I’ll be having a long flight from Paraguay to Michigan in July, @ 23 hrs travel time door to door. Also, it’s winter here in the southern hemisphere but it will be summer in the states.
Ooh okay definitely wear layers. I also have a video called packing for two different climates.
Love your videos! My dream is to see Sicily and Greece
Ooh me too!
Hey Laurie? Have you tried one of those suitcases yet they refer to as a 'closet'? Doesn't look like they hold that much. Have a good one and be safe.
Aloha from Hawaii. Love your travel tips. I, too, like to wear comfy pants on the plane. I prefer joggers or leggings because they stay off the restroom floor, if you know what I mean. Also, your tip about using a packing cube as a pillow for your tray ... beware... flying to Japan, the lady in front of me decided to suddenly recline ... and DANG ... she hit my head! Ouch! May I ask if you recommend a travel capsule with mostly graphic tee tops? Thanks!👍
Ouch is right! The seats do recline fast sometimes. I would wear a graphic tee for daily theme dressing everyday if I could lol. They go with everything! I bet you can do that.
I'm going to pluck Aullie from that stash of outfits ! I'm closer to a purchase of the Wit & Widson "Shadow" color, as that would complete my 333.
I feel the cold , so I wear flared leggings and a hoody as it can get cold plus have shirt underneath the hoody in case I get warm .
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 love your videos
Thank you for watching. Hope the freebie helped.
