    Loved this video! ❤ I too am a huge believer in having ziplock bags around all the time for so many uses,and they hardly take up any space!

  • @patlsmith404

    @mswhizz56 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    I couldn’t believe what a huge difference they made the first time I used noise canceling headphones! You are right, the noise of the airplane itself is fatiguing plus I sleep so much better with them. Now I won’t travel without them.

  • @rowanmulvey8632

    Keep in mind that hanging a hero clip over the stall door in a bathroom makes it very attractive and easy to steal the hero clip and the the bag attached to it!!!!!

    • @alysmalls
      @alysmalls  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Yeah! That's why you should do it on the sidewalls, not the door 👍 I've also hung it on the hinge too!

    @zachs4runner 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    I've had a Hero Clip for years, and you're absolutely right, it's a must have for travel! Honestly, the place I end up using it the most is in airport restrooms, as you don't always have a functioning hook on the back of the stall door.

    • @kmason5241
      @kmason5241 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Except in some countries they will take these carabiner style items away from you at the security check-in. "They can be used as a knuckle duster weapon" Air France security informed me before taking it. I used one for attaching my watch and wedding ring etc through security so everything was easily found and together. As well as hanging, attaching, securing etc etc.

      Just make sure you get the one with the panel inside rather than the one that is soft.

    ... this... actually... was very informative...!!
    great job!
    I'd add:
    - airplane window organizer
    - tray table cover (both on amazon)
    - nice slippers and comfy socks for looong flights in coach (feels like first class if you bring your own peanuts)
    - nail clippers... (i ALWAYS forget these... bandaids, etc)
    Hope you find these helpful - I fly on Friday - ciao.

  • @YoSpiff
    @YoSpiff 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have some of the Heroclips. I use it for hanging a small pouch on the seatback when on a plane to hold my phones, earbuds, snacks, etc. Holds all I need in the air other than my tablet. I also keep several on my luggage to use as needed. I use some of those same plastic toiletry pouches you talked about at 2:40 ish. Interesting thing I found is that some kinds of shampoo (dandruff shampoo in my experience) degrade the plastic plug and it breaks off in the hole.

    Many of these are genius and I’ll probably buy some. I personally hate the sling bag. I feel like stuff is hard to access and can easily be falling out. I just use a small Crossbody purse.

    The foot hammock in the description box doesn't appear to be the same as the one in the video. I like the non-flat base of the one in the video. Could you share the brand of that one? Thanks!

  • @Katepwe
    @Katepwe 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I use ziplocks kinda like packing cubes. I roll and pack my smaller clothing items in them…..underwear, socks, tanks/t’s, swimsuits as well as lotions etc. I like that they keep everything separate and if security wants to look inside the suitcase my clothes aren’t on display!
    Those liquid pouches look like a great idea, but how easy are they to clean out?

    • @alysmalls
      @alysmalls  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I just rinse them with warm water and a bit of soap and give it a shake!

  • @AverageJoesLibrary
    @AverageJoesLibrary 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    One I’ll add: charging cable soft case. Most people have extra cables so I have a case that stays in my back back I take on every trip that has all my cables I could need. Don’t have to remember to grab any.

    • @ciannacoleman5125

    Great vid and tips and I’m defo ordering the Heroclips, but I’m not sure the airlines will appreciate the stress on their tray tables with the foot hammock. And I dint wanna be on the next flight to discover a broken or loose tray table.

    • @alysmalls
      @alysmalls  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's hard to explain where they attach, it's moreso on top of the metal support piece behind the tray table...I hope that clarifies!

      @littlebitty7633 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    • @anncook1436
      @anncook1436 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @annaBanana - can you explain a little more how the hammock is uncomfortable? I was super excited to see them in this video. I’m only 5 feet tall, so sitting in an airline seat for any length of time gets uncomfortable. Usually I pull out my backpack from under the seat to put my feet on, but I then also have to bring a towel because I don’t want to put my shoes directly on my backpack.

    • @alysmalls
