I have one question for you that yo may be able to answer. Does the liquid rules for the carryon bag also apply to the personal bag? Like limited amount of liquids in one quartsized bag.
Great tip about the Turkish towel! I have a dedicated pair of thin black leggings, a black t-shirt and a pair of undies in a ziplock baggie at the bottom of my personal item. I don’t even take them out upon return. They live there. Never know about sudden turbulence that may spill my or the person beside me drink. I also keep a travel pillow “zippered pillowcase 12 x 20” in case I want to put my jacket, sweater, etc in it and then use that as a pillow. Always enjoy your tips and content!
You pack very well 😉 thank you for being here with me 😁
I really like your idea of a zippered pillowcase! So much better than a regular one…didn’t think of that!🤗
@@gloriamiller5515 I have one from Walmart that is under $3. Takes up no room at all in my personal item bag. Have used it on almost every flight. Stuff in sweatshirt/hoodie/jacket and perfect for window seat! Have fun and enjoy your travels!
#1 looks really similar to my loveook backpack, it has a few extra “hidden” pockets in the front that have tons of room, and one in the back. it has a place where you can charge your phone, it has computer space and iPad space, two inside pockets that look like you could put a water bottle in it, and even another zipper inside it. I’m wondering if I could use that as a potential personal item bag. I would love to see you review one of them (didn’t mean to reply in here oops lol)
I just got back from 11 months traveling around the world. Great suggestions. Also will not leave without a Turkish towel. Use as a wrap, beach towel, to roll up and help dry clothes washed in the shower or sink, and for picnics. Have the same backpack :) Love it!
Thanks for an honest, realistic down to earth video where you really show what is needed ❤
Thank you for being here with me - I appreciate you 🌺
After much research and before seeing your videos, I chose the same bag a few years ago when I needed a new one. I absolutely love it and get many compliments. It is a great bag not just for travel. Thanks for all your travel tips!!!
Yay! I'm so glad you like it as much as I do! I carry mine all the time - even when I'm not traveling 😉
Your worksheets will be so handy for my upcoming trip! I’ll be riding with my brother to his home and then return home by plane. Of course, lots to do in between. Thanks to you, I’ve learned how to lower my stress level while traveling.
Yay! It sounds like a great trip - enjoy! 🙂
I just ordered this bag from Amazon so that I can pack it the same way you did. That’s how good this video is! ❤
Thank you so much 😀
I love that backpack because of the wide opening at the top and laptop sleeve.
me too! it is fantastic! Thank you for being here with me - I appreciate you 😀
I use a small crossbody bag that has my passport/wallet/phone, charging cord, gum, tissues, etc in it that I might want on the plane. I put the bag in the personal item when boarding the plane since that would be 3 items along with the carry-on bag. I then wear the crossbody bag on the plane. That way I have my passport and wallet on me when I go to the bathroom (I sometimes travel alone and don't want to leave those at my seat) and usually never have to pull out my personal item from under the seat in front of me during the flight.
Smart! Thank you for sharing 🙂 I appreciate you being here with me 😊
do you have to put your purse in a bin at tsa? or can i just leave it in my personal item backpack. never flown before and I have a trip In 2 months!
Well done! I have a similar back pack and agree with the chosen items. One thing that I have recently started packing is a bumbag, it would replace your bag that has the tissues, etc in it. I can hang the bumbag from the tray in front of me. While the tray is closed, it is right there in arms reach, yet out of my way. Just a thing to share… safe travels!
the bum bag sounds great - I'm going to check that out. Thank you! 😊
Sooooo timely as I’m off to Canada for a month soon and am going to try travelling by carry-on only for the first time!! Wish me luck!!!
Girl - you've got this! Enjoy your trip (and let me know how it goes) 😀
I just got this backpack for Christmas, im so excited to use it!
That's great! I hope you love it as much as I do. Thanks so much for being here with me 🌻
Totally agree on the noise cancelling headset. I used to get headaches on the plane, but the headsets has eliminated that.
I would not give mine up! I'm glad you have them too 😉
Thanks for the suggestions! Only things I would add is in addition to the sanitizing wipes would be some personal wipes and I always bring some snacks.
Smart! Wipes and snacks are always a great idea! Thank you so much for being here with me - I appreciate you 🌻
I bought that backpack, and my sister liked it so much she bought one too! I will be using it for the first time soon when I fly to my cruise port.
Yay Susan! I'm taking mine on a cruise this fall 💙 I appreciate you being here with me - thank you! 🙂
Hi Lori thank you for the video I love your backpack it holds so many things but not to bulky. Yes i carry or wear something to keep me warm on the plane as I get cold to. Thank you for the tips. Have a great day.
Hi Maureen - it's great to see you! 😀
That color looks great on you!
Thank you 🙂 I am going hard on Barbie pink this summer 😂
I had never heard of travelling with a Turkish towel. I did some reasearch on them and have now bought a few to travel with. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Susan - that's great! I hope you like them as much as I do! Thank you for being here with me 😊
I have that exact bag and I love it!
Yay! It is the best I have used thus far! Thank you for being here with me - I appreciate you! 😊
I bought that particular backpack for my upcoming trip. Now i know how to pack it. Thanks.
Hi Cynthia 🙂 I hope you have a great time on your trip 😊
Subscribed! Very practical & organised😊
Thank you so much Kiki - I appreciate you being here with me. Welcome! 😊
I have the same bag and LOVE it!
yay! It really is awesome 😉
I just received the identical backpack (17”), as a present from my kiddo. I saw it on your video and that’s how I found you! It was great to see how I can pack it for my next trip. Also, I always pack my meds, supplements, jewelry and a change of underwear/pants/shirt in a compression bag - preparedness for the unknown. Thanks for the info!
Hi Robin - preparedness for the win! I appreciate you being here with me - thank you 🤗
I just subscribed to your channel because I love your content!!
Welcome! 🤗 I appreciate you being here - thank you 😊
I love your Tiffany frames! I have Tiffany frames for my glasses and prescription sunglasses.
Thank you 😎 I have had them forever! They have held up so well 😊
I have the same backpack and love it!
YAY! it really is awesome 😀
Very helpful, thank you 👍👍👍
Thanks for being here with me Jenn - I appreciate you! 😀
I am always either hot or cold on planes. I usually wear a t-shirt and take a cardigan. Once we were stuck in a plane for two hours on a hot tarmac in some Asian airport with no air conditioning on!!!!! it was hot and I was so glad I only had a t shirt on. Later on in the flight and we were up up and away it was cold, very glad to have my cardigan. You just never know. I always have spare undies also. Love your back pack but since I am old now, 72, I am thinking along the lines of an underseat wheeled bag. One that can go on top of my wheelie bag to be piggybacked. I always use check in because I am small and old and can't get luggage up in the cabin luggage racks. I don't want to bother the staff when they are very busy with everyone and nor do I want to bother the other passengers so I simply check in my bag. Even still it's not a big bag, I still have to lug it all over the place and if there are no lifts. Yep, you know what I mean. Small, old ladies need to be organised so that lugging luggage is not an arthritis hurter!!!! LOL
Hi Sue - I think you have a great plan and it sounds like it works well for you! I appreciate you being here with me - thank you! 😊
72 isn't old. Stop that! (said with kindness)
@@pattykelly9085 🤣🤣
I put a compression cube filled with a top, bra and undies in the bottom of my bag, just in case there is no room in the overhead bin and my carry on needs to be checked. I also have a tiny pouch with any jewellery, my cross-body bag with my wallet, sunglasses, reading glasses and cleaner cloth, all of my spare batteries and all of my medication. I have a problem because my injectable medication need to be kept cold so I have a zippered bag with cold pack inside which the drug company gave me (along with a letter stating my dr's prescription). My laptop is 17 inches and you were so kind to say that one fits in the bag!
You pack very well! I have also used the backpack alone for some shorter trips (3-4 days). I love it! Thanks so much for being here with me - I appreciate you 😊
Nice video. I have already bought some of the items.
Thank you Dawne - I appreciate your support. Thank you for being here with me 😊
Thanks Lori I Got Mine Yesterday.
yay! I hope you love it as much as I do 😊
I like your set up for charging your cell and watch. I am going to do the same set up. Thank you
yay! I hope it works as well for you as it does for me 😉
Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate you being here with me 🤗
Please ad a mod shot. I would love to see the bag on your shoulder and on your carry on bag. Thanks for all the info.
I always travel with a nail clipper and emery board handy because it seems that I always break a nail at some point.
Smart - I might need to add those to my bag as well. I appreciate you sharing - thank you 😊
I carry a handkerchief, mints/gum and a pen in addition to what you show. Also, snacks and herbal tea bags (in case I want a hot beverage that's not coffee).
smart! Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you being here with me 😊
How are the backpack shoulder straps? Are they padded enough?
I can't decide between the 15 inch and the 17 inch Falanko backpack. Is there a reason you chose the 15 inch over the 17 inch?
Hey Lori, I think that you are going to struggle getting Chuck trained for your Europe trip. 😁😁😁😁
Watching him complaining about the the cost of everything will be hilarious. 😁
And the constant reference to how things are/ cost in Thailand will be draining. 😁😁😁😁
Good luck Lori.😁😁😁😁😁😁
Chuck & Paige are awesome to travel with. He only talks about the cost stuff in his videos because so many of his viewers message him about the cost of things and comparisons. He isn't complaining about the cost of anything in real life. 😉 I'm going to see if I can get them to do a collab video with me when the trip gets closer. Stay tuned 😉
I love the looks of your pink backpack. Which size do you select the 15 or 17 inch? If I carry the 17 inches, will there be enough room under the seat? Thank you for the travel tips. I don't travel overseas often but I'm taking an 11-day trip to Spain and Portugal in September. Any specific tips for these 2 countries.
Hi Suzanne - I have the 15 inch backpack. I've never tried the 17 inch, but the 15 fits so easily I suspect it would be just fine. Thanks so much for being here with me - I appreciate you! 😀
Your travel tip video will become my go-to resource for planning trips! 🗺 Btw, have you heard about the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? It seems like it could elevate your travel experiences! 🌟🎒
Hi there - I might check the bag out. Thanks 😊
Hi, Lori! Just wondering what additional items you would pack in your personal item bag for a long plane ride. I have the backpack you have and several of the other items you showed. Our flight time for our next big trip (the first we’ve taken in several years) is over 9 hours!
Wow - that is a longer flight for sure. In that case the only thing I would add is a padded eye mask so I can sleep comfortably. Here is a link to the one I have if your curious: amzn.to/3OflF6H it has plenty of room for my eyelashes 😉
I just rewatched this video
I got a similar type backpack and am packing essentials for any type of trip...then i can add
I have an extra shirt, shorts, socks and underwear. I added the turkish beach towel like you suggested
I grab and stow this backpack even on day trips
Thanks for sharing
Are you meeting up wuth Chuck and Paige soon on the cruise?
Yes! We are meeting up with them in Barcelona. We're going to spend a little time exploring the city and then our cruise leaves from there. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon. Stay tuned for our videos 😜😜😜
I did not sanitise my area enough on my last trip and ended up wth COVID for the entirety of my vacation! Won’t forget next time 😅
Don’t beat yourself up. It’s highly unlikely that your COVID infection came from contaminated airplane surfaces and much more likely that it was airborne transmission.
I hope you're feeling much better now 🤗
Thanks! Traveling soon and will get some of these things. What is the name of your landlord life channel? I can't find it. Just subbed to your boat life and will watch that soon. You have a great personality!
❤ Loved this video and tips...I just bought the Lovevook backpack and it is set up with top and pockets like yours
I like the Turkish shawl idea...a friend gave me I e years ago but I never thought to use it to travel
I pack a packing cube with extra shirt, shirts, socks and undies. Been doing that in a bag back when we had kids....in case of an accident on me. Lol
I'll look for the solid sunscreen and lotion. I carry face wipes along with antibacterial wipes.
Thanks again for your tips and fun attitude😊
Hi Michele - I'm not really doing much with the other channels right now. I'm going to start back up with the boat life channel in the fall - but I don't have solid plans to get back to the landlord channel. Fortunately not much happens with the rent houses so there is not nearly as much content opportunity as I thought there would be. Thanks so much for being here with me - I appreciate you! 😊
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate you being here with me 🤗
How much is laptop weight just curious and how much does this backpack weight when packed pleased. I like solid items like shampoo bar etc brilliant tip re solid moisturiser bar..
Hi there - great questions! The laptop weight 3.6 lbs (1.6 kg) and the backpack as packed weighs 10.2 lbs. (4.6 ). Thanks so much for being here with me - I appreciate you! 😊
I heard a change of clothing is needed i in tbe personal bag in case one is forced to CHECK your Carry On and it gets lost.
Hi Georgia - I've heard the same. I carried a change of clothes for the longest time and never, ever needed them. I do carry a change of underwear just in case it does happen I at least have fresh undies. 😉
The airlines consider toothpaste as a liquid and require it to be packed in a quart size clear ziplock bag with other liquid products. 😊
Вы очаровательны в очках🫠

Where is your top from? I absolutely love the color?
I'm loving all the pink this year! This top is from Express but it isn't on their website right now. I'm sorry ☹
@@The.LifeWithLori no worries! It looks great on you! Love that shade of pink!
Does this bag come in a smaller size besides 17 inch? I need a personal item to fit British Airways. 16x12x6
Hi Melissa - I have the 15.6 inch size. You can check it out here to see if it might work for you: amzn.to/45ywA0Y (it's on sale right now too 😉)
can you fit a laptop in your personal carry on bag?
Yes, easily 😁
Is lip balm a solid or liquid?
Hi Margaret. It depends on the formula. The one I show in the video is considered a solid - because it is solid in the tin. They also make a formula that is softer and squeezes out of a tube - that one is a liquid. So, it really just depends on the one you have. I'm always careful to choose one that is considered a solid. Thanks so much for being here with me - I appreciate you 😊
How are you friends ❣️ nice shareing video
we are great here - thank you! 😊
How about your documents?
HI Cynthia - I carry them in the zipper pocket on the back behind the shoulder straps. It isan almost "hidden" pocket 😉
I’d be worried about stuff falling out of that side pocket
I understand - maybe I've been lucky because I've never had anything fall out. Thank you so much for being here with me ☺
I'm pakistan 🇵🇰 🤗
