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
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.
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.
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!! 😊
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
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 🤣
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.

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
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.
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
@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!

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!
I also do the plastic bag thing! I keep my duty free bags. Also wear your sling bags as a fanny pack

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
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
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.

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........

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.

Does this work with Frontier and Spirit? What are the dementions of your bag
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
Bro you're a legend 😂
Gotta do it
Do they not check your vest and like pat you down tho?
It was very helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for video 🎉
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

What about the fanny bag you are wearing ?
No secrets in that. Compression straps are a must to make it look smaller though
Man you re genius
Nice 👍
You are awesome.
I appreciate you watching

Clever!
Thanks for the comment. Keep traveling
I pray for you that no airline employee watch your video 😂
It's a gray area it seems like
#ModelinaVan your Great.i love your video man
I appreciate the kind comment
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.
Now I know where my friend learned these things
Wow that's good to hear
👌👍
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
😂😂😂
Not allowed to eat on low cost airlines? Wow
Yeah I have had some flight attendants tell me that. Haha
@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!
Umm...you're very handsome. How tall are you? Have you ever thought about modeling? For real though.
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
😅😅😅😅😅thanks
Yeah thanks for watching
😂 😂
Who is the fool who had nrverr figured it out by themselves?
The average person I suppose. Haha
I have been watching your videos for years. What the hell do you do for an income? Jealous...
Im too good at saving money. Thats all. I make poverty wages but make it work
You should do modeling for living . Save $$ and Travel later 👐
@@huyqnguyen2712 thats why the channel is called model in a van. I do modeling
