LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3 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. Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the turnstile... Use 1” wide ribbons 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 up no matter how they drape. Tie the 3 ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. It is too short to catch on anything. You can see this ribbon from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. This way, it won’t slide around. This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. Stand by the output hole port 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 hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red and blue Chartreuse and purple Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green The third ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like”. Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape.
The thing with tip number 3, in my experience Ethiopian airlines and air Rwanda will re-weigh your carryon luggage right before you board the plane. Personally that's very uncalled for.
I'm going to Europe for 10 days -- and my weight restriction for carry-on is 8 Kg / 17 pounds. Yikes! I'm opting for dresses and not a lot of shorts/tops as they will weigh less and not take up so much space. And yes, I've had my 'personal item' weigh about the same as my carry-on. No one is the wiser! Great tips. Thanks you.
No idea when you are going and what region you are visiting but for this time of year I do suggest you bring warmer clothing too. In The Netherlands it will be nice and warm for atleast the upcoming 2 weeks but the last 2 weeks have been a bit cold for shorts and tanktops.
I don't agree w/ packing things in your pocket because then you'll have to take them back out during security check, which was a waste of time. A lot times we just need to bring things we know we need instead of the whole house
When is this video, 2018 they're weighing your hand carry 7 kilos. When you have a bag and a backpack they will be suspicious abt that. Some airlines asks for luggage fee. They're not included on the ticket price. I'm a very light traveler but I don't wear triple clothes so I won't pay. I rather bring my important things with me than buy it overseas. If I don't have the money to spend when I go out/holiday I rather stay at home.
In Asia, budget airlines restrict us to only one hand carry bag weighing not more than 7KG... and they DO pounce on unsuspecting travelers at the gates to enforce the weight limit, frequently resulting in these poor fellows having to pay exorbitant excess weight fees... which would have been enough to check in the items in a luggage!
@@namorn30nyc Do you mean you were only allowed one bag and no extra hand bag. I am asking coz k am travelling to Singapore. And I have limit of 7kg only. Can you plz tell me what exactly happened. It will be of great help.
one other thing. in europe there are some cheap airlines. they sell cheap tickets and have a weight restriction to 12 kg. on there website it states, that this is for carry on plus the personal item together. so you can't cheat there. but worse than that, a friend of mine, who once as student traveled with them, told me, she had a jacket or a coat on. at the check in, they told her, she has to take off that jacket or coat and they have to weight that as well (it was warm, where she started but wanted to get to a colder destination, so they knew, it wasn't because she was freezing right there). of course then they charged her for 1 kg overweight. she said, she found that so upsetting, that she never ever flight with them again or any of those airlines, that work about the same. traditional or bigger airlines have good deals as well and most of the time, are more generous with the weight and what you bring with you. esp. with the personal item
agree 100% and not only in Europe, Air Asia is one of the worst. Todays Flight Da Nang --> Chiang Mai Grundpreis Ticket für 1 Passagier 11,96 € Steuern und Gebühren 24,02 € Total 35,98 € aaand 31 € or check in luggage of 17 kg so we are at € 67!
They could search you for contraband or dangerous equipment/tools, but it's not like they can tell you to take your clothes off because you're trying to cheat the weight system.
Sometimes low cost companies double check... when you check in and right before you are about to board your flight. So at the gate they can still decide if you need to check in your luggage. Yes you might find it mean but that's how the low cost companies get their extra money so they can offer those flights cheaper. And I had my backpack checked on it's weight once which wasn't a problem because it was within the limits.
If you're on a budget airline in Europe, the tips about your "personal" bag or handbag simply won't work. Here, you are allowed a single carry-on item. If you have a handbag, that counts as your single carry-on item and you will be made to check your carry-on luggage (and pay premium for it). I sometimes see people trying to come through with a carry-on plus handbag plus plastic bag(s) from duty free and they always get really angry that they have to check the carry-on and repack so that the duty-free bags are no longer separate. The number of bags are definitely checked at the gate as well as at security and the weight can be checked there too, so the tip about repacking in the toilets may also lead to tears.
Always check the baggage limits for the airline before booking with them. Don't assume that because you've always travelled with a handbag, that you'll be able to do that everywhere still.
@@catherineallen6024 And check dimensions on baggage allowed. Not all carry on for US carriers will be allowed in European budget carriers. 15 lbs is the smallest I have heard your luggage must weigh. So check the weight of luggage empty first.
@@rhbustos4878 Absolutely! And also do that check every time, even if you've flown with that carrier before. On a flight to Luxembourg a couple of years ago, the allowed dimensions for cabin baggage were far smaller than that carrier normally uses - because they flew a turbo prop with the shallowest overhead lockers I have ever seen!
One more thing that. Nowadays carry baggage checked in near boarding place. Allow only 7 kgs only but you can carry almost 8kgs airport authority not charging you if you carry more than 8kgs. Then will charge you be aware of that.
@@rykellim not true, I just flew today with Air Asia (bad company anyway) and of some reasons my carry on backpack was about 10 kg, and was not checked.
I already pack as minimally as I can, but I'm so glad I never have to deal with carry-on weight restrictions - as it is, for a 3-week warm weather trip (spring-summer-early fall), I'm already going to be traveling with 70-90 pounds of stuff because I've got a 40lb wheelchair, but they can never leave it behind because it's medical equipment (as is one of my 3 carry-on bags). My small carry-on suitcase is usually 25-30lb (I will never check it because baggage handlers already broke one of my other suitcases), and my backpack can vary significantly from sort of light to very heavy. I've never flown a budget airline and probably never will. What I'm curious to find out is whether budget airlines that operate entirely outside of the U.S. allow service dogs on board - are they still considered medical equipment (and thus exempt from any weight restrictions), or are they counted against the allowed weight?
Here is a thought. Have you ever stop to think that weight and size restriction is there not to make you complain , or to just pick on you the passenger, but has to do with the safety in operating the aircraft. If everyone lies, smuggles and tries to cheat the system by making the aircraft heavier than it is regulated....when something goes wrong or your loved one goes down in a blaze of glory ...whose fault is it .....really is it worth the risk over paying what $50 ...so you can cheat the system.
You're probably right but seems like airlines are often looking for ways to nickel and dime passengers. That's why people try to find ways around extra fees for what in the past was a given.
@@curlsavenue1035 I don't disagree. But...the more we try to buck a system to save money ..it just ends up costing us more in the long run. Just like when people pinch towels..etc from hotel rooms or even all the perks provided, they recoup the cost by inflation. It is a vicious cycle
When all passengers weigh 60kg and all bring a 20kg luggage it is unsafe, but when all passengers weigh 100kg with a 5kg luggage, it will be safer? Not to mention they don't really prohibit you from bringing heavy items. You just have to pay more. So it suddenly becomes safe just because you've paid more?
No. 1 tip should be to use a max size back pack instead of a wheeled suitcase That saves a couple of kilos vs a wheeled bag, plus they don’t look or check the bag on your back at check on Mine fully loaded can weigh 12 kg, never been checked Patagonia MLC - max legal carry on, amazing piece of kit with lots of clever touches When I become too weak to carry it I may just buy one of those fold up luggage ‘trollies’, converting it into a wheeled case 2nd tip is to only take half the clothes that you need and wash them on vacation in the middle, have always managed to get cheap rate and never lost anything 3rd tip is to use lightweight compression packing bags
I have booked with malaysia airlines and the allowed carry-on plus personal bag weight is 7kg. So it varies with all airlines. Lucky you that they didnt weight your personal bag
great advice. I almost ( I didnt; but it scared the snot out of me) lost my bag going through Mexico City Airport a TOTAL DUMPSTER FIRE PLACE. I am going to use some of your ideas. I am also carrying a mesh bag. I find that when you go through the machines that make you put your hands over your head, if you're wearing a lot of clothes it will cause problems with the TSA people. So personally I'm going to carry a little mesh laundry bag; go INTO the toilet. take off all my extra clothes put them in the bag then cram them under the seat with my back pack. Its sad that the airlines are making people resort to these measures but they have now. Besides saving money you have the peace of mind of knowing your clothes are in YOUR care . My Mexico City luggage fiasco changed my attitude forever.
does someone watch Tom and Jerry cartoon ? The reason why i searched such video as this is that i saw when Tom goes somewhere , he does not use baggage bags , but he uses a stick and a blanket in which he packs his belongings . Im interested, who invented such thing such as a stick and a blanket to pack the clothes and does any one of you practice such thing? As for me i never saw anyone pack its clothes in this way , but another question is why is this little detail shown in the cartoon ?
Can I know to put the laptop in the luggage and backpack, which one is better? Because my luggage is the mobile luggage which there is specific space for laptop? But sometimes I scare, and sometimes I forgot it's laptop inside.
Omg, I just gave up when I was packing my bags and told myself I am going to pay. I'm travelling back home overseas month end and have 3 bags between 28-30 lbs each and can't leave them behind. But thank you for the trick of wearing your heavy clothing, I'll surely wear my heavy jackets and heavy shoes 😁😁
Please do not give these kind of ideas to people who are travelling from or to tropical countries! Like wearing layers of clothing, and carrying very heavy objects in your pockets could be really burdensome for comfortable travel, let the payment for extra weight go its way, so that passengers can travel comfortably.
no they don't, I travel since 9 years constantly and they never have! just today I got through with about 10 Kilos, and 7 were allowed. But I paid 30 Euros for my check in trolley (17 kg) and I'm finished now with Air Asia. Da Nang --> Chiang Mai Ticket for 1 passanger 11,96 € Tax and Fees 24,02 € Luggage 30,90 €
Encouraging persons to pack items post weighing by the airline has consequences, especially when it interferes with the internal pressure of the craft. Am I the only one perturbed by this...?
That's what I said....there is a reason for weight restrictions. Some doctors died in our area several years ago, the plane crashed because they all brought all this heavy hunting and camping gear and it was all too much weight, a young pilot now they are all gone. It was so sad...
@@joanerdelyi4807 ...I Believe tnis is more of an issue on smaller crafts.. I've never heard of an airline deboard a plane because of weight overage.. on larger commercial airliners, it's mostly money.
I do all that anyway, except maybe unnecessary light layers underneath (don't want them to get dirty to soon). just wanted to know, how others do it. seems, one can come up with these things easily, I guess. at least, when travelled at least 2-3 times or maybe once, where you had troubles with the weight
I appreciate your time and effort and wish u succee in your life ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊 For who is reading this, I wish u have a great day and get good luck for the next few years
You are allowed to pay for extra baggage allowance for a bag which will be carried on the same airplane. We are not packing gravels or rocks( I hope). How dangerous can it be?
I'm sorry, but these tips are awful. I'm always travelling light, but I think it's much more comfortable to check your bag and take only a small carry-on with what you really need for your flight.
With tight connections or delays, it's best to have your luggage with you at all times. I was once put off a plane in Toronto during a snow storm with checked luggage, along with 15 other planes -- then told to go into a room the size of a football field, find my luggage and have it with me to find a different flight once the airport opened. This was the last time I checked a bag. What a nightmare. Carry-on is the only way I fly.
NOT true. The check-in fee can cost nearly as much as the flight ticket itself, particularly for budget airlines in Asia, AND we do not always need to carry 27KG worth of stuff for a trip.
Can't afford the price to check a bag, and just not worth it if you have any layovers at all. It also saves time all around - no waiting an hour and a half in the check-in line (I have to do that anyway, but for a different reason), less that has to go through security (they do screen checked bags as well as carry-on, and will open them for a bag search, if needed), and no waiting for an hour at the baggage claim for them to finally get it sent down. Less to have to haul to and from the airport and at your destination (if you have to walk, or if there aren't elevators or escalators). Lighter bags = less strain = less regret for bringing so much stuff, and if in Europe, less chance you'll stick out like a sore thumb as "American". And I'm definitely thankful for no weight limits on carry-on within and to and from the U.S., at least on most airlines - when I fly, I have to bring 3 bags onto the plane with me because 1) the third one can't be charged for or required to be checked because it's medical equipment (policy varies by airline, but the ones I fly allow it) and 2) I will not risk my suitcase getting broken by careless baggage handlers (they broke the wheels on one, and we had to drag it about a quarter mile over pavement, and it was heavy - that was before I learned how to pack minimally, but the point remains) - the one I use is the only carry-on size suitcase I own, and they're not cheap. Unless I have absolutely no other choice (e.g. inadvertently booking a Basic Economy ticket instead of regular Economy one - only made that mistake once, and now I double check before booking - or I'm forced to fly rather than drive in the winter, and hence have heavy winter clothes in tow (that only ever happened twice)), I will never check a bag again - it's just not worth it. And I can pack for 3 weeks in my rather small carry-on suitcase, my school backpack, and a small bag for medical stuff - it can easily be a combined total of 50lb (I do pack as minimally as I can), but having it all with me sure beats having almost none of it, and I don't have to carry anything if I don't want to - it all fits on my wheelchair, and the weight doesn't really matter because I don't have to push myself through the airport (I can't, anyway).
You can put coins in your pocket you just have to empty your pocket when going through security scanning. After, you can pout them back in your pocket or bag
I actually enjoyed these tips because I've done quite a few myself...wearing layers and heavy clothes (2 shirts, a sweater under a fleece and leggings under jeans, putting things in my pockets, even down to walking with an empty water bottle all the way to my destination because I literally had no more space.
LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3
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.
Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the turnstile...
Use 1” wide ribbons 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 up no matter how they drape.
Tie the 3 ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. It is too short to catch on anything.
You can see this ribbon from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. This way, it won’t slide around. This knot does not loosen.
Put your phone number on one ribbon using a permanent Sharpie.
Example: “Owner 454-333-7878”
Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique.
Stand by the output hole port 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 hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself.
Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible.
Pleasant color combinations:
Red and blue
Chartreuse and purple
Orange and light blue
Orange and yellow
Gray and pink
Green and yellow
Red and Green
Red and Gold
Light blue and light green
The third ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan
Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like”.
Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape.
Great tips! Thank you!!

I am a heavy packer and the Nomad Lane Bento bag has been my favorite bag for budget flights because it can perfectly fit under the seat.
"Sir why are you wearing so much clothes?"
"I heard Scotland gets cold."
Only issue its summer lol
I'm going to Europe for 10 days -- and my weight restriction for carry-on is 8 Kg / 17 pounds. Yikes!

I had seen a African lady @China airport trying to wear 6 layers of fabric as a sarong in the airport bathroom. That was during summer
Hehe 😂
Tigerair checks the personal carry-on bag, camera and laptop. They include it in weighing with the carry on bag.
Theses are good tips ,nothing mind blowing tricks ,but practical & your voice is very clear & an ease to my ears ! Thank you.

The main concern I think is the amount of weight the plane allows to carry.
Would make sense except planes used to allow everyone 2 checked bags without weight limits at all. The real reason is the cost of fuel.
Awesome tip, I just need this, where are you traveling at the moment?
Wouldn't airport security be suspicious if you are wearing so many layers of clothing?
They could search you for contraband or dangerous equipment/tools, but it's not like they can tell you to take your clothes off because you're trying to cheat the weight system.

Im interested, who invented such thing such as a stick and a blanket to pack the clothes and does any one of you practice such thing?
As for me i never saw anyone pack its clothes in this way , but another question is why is this little detail shown in the cartoon ?
Great video! Thank you, much needed for the holidays ❤️🎄
You just set my mind at ease!!
Can we take a liquids bag on the carry on and personal item bag?
Whatever foreign coins I had was to buy snacks @the duty free shop, just pay the different /balance with credit card
Wow wow wow you are really experienced on this .Thaks so much
Can I know to put the laptop in the luggage and backpack, which one is better? Because my luggage is the mobile luggage which there is specific space for laptop? But sometimes I scare, and sometimes I forgot it's laptop inside.
Omg, I just gave up when I was packing my bags and told myself I am going to pay. I'm travelling back home overseas month end and have 3 bags between 28-30 lbs each and can't leave them behind.
But thank you for the trick of wearing your heavy clothing, I'll surely wear my heavy jackets and heavy shoes 😁😁
Sent it by slow mail, I always do that few days before my vacation was over. From Europe to USA is around 50 Euros, better than paying baggage fees
Great tips! Thank you 👍🏻

I so love your content
You have saved a soul
I know all of the 4; the 5th one is a good one
Please do not give these kind of ideas to people who are travelling from or to tropical countries! Like wearing layers of clothing, and carrying very heavy objects in your pockets could be really burdensome for comfortable travel, let the payment for extra weight go its way, so that passengers can travel comfortably.
my weight it below 60 Kgs.. will they give me special discount in the ticket fare?
This is the best tips I've heard so far. Seriously... I didn't realize that yes airlines don't wait your own body/clothing. Really nice. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Airlines are weighing hand luggage at the boarding gate
no they don't, I travel since 9 years constantly and they never have! just today I got through with about 10 Kilos, and 7 were allowed. But I paid 30 Euros for my check in trolley (17 kg) and I'm finished now with Air Asia.

I went to bangkok and they did what dante said but worse.. they weighing after the boarding gate before we get into the airplane..
@@Angie.Globetrotter Yes they always weigh at the boarding gate
@@nancynyandega8141 so I had about 20 times or more just 'good luck' :) come on!
Be sure to choose a lightweight suitcase/bag.
I got this one right
Encouraging persons to pack items post weighing by the airline has consequences, especially when it interferes with the internal pressure of the craft. Am I the only one perturbed by this...?
Nope 😨
That's what I said....there is a reason for weight restrictions. Some doctors died in our area several years ago, the plane crashed because they all brought all this heavy hunting and camping gear and it was all too much weight, a young pilot now they are all gone. It was so sad...
@@joanerdelyi4807 ...I Believe tnis is more of an issue on smaller crafts.. I've never heard of an airline deboard a plane because of weight overage.. on larger commercial airliners, it's mostly money.
@@zaneblane8160 They wont deboard hey will just leave bags behind
@@hamie58 ...Oh wow.
I do all that anyway, except maybe unnecessary light layers underneath (don't want them to get dirty to soon). just wanted to know, how others do it. seems, one can come up with these things easily, I guess. at least, when travelled at least 2-3 times or maybe once, where you had troubles with the weight
so if i have a backpack and a carrryon small suitcase, BOTH are free on air canada to usa?
Thank you dear ❤
Very great tips and ideas, thank you so much!
You saved my budget! Thank you!
Thanks very much person
Great tips. We travel the country fulltime in our RV. But the few times we do fly I do most of these things. Thanks 4 sharing.😎
I appreciate your time and effort and wish u succee in your life
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
For who is reading this, I wish u have a great day and get good luck for the next few years
Is this not dangerous. Imagine if we all did this.
Kushatha K Most people do and the engineering of the plane is designed to cope. If it wasn’t then there would be a huge increase in crashes
You are allowed to pay for extra baggage allowance for a bag which will be carried on the same airplane. We are not packing gravels or rocks( I hope). How dangerous can it be?
I'm sorry, but these tips are awful. I'm always travelling light, but I think it's much more comfortable to check your bag and take only a small carry-on with what you really need for your flight.
With tight connections or delays, it's best to have your luggage with you at all times. I was once put off a plane in Toronto during a snow storm with checked luggage, along with 15 other planes -- then told to go into a room the size of a football field, find my luggage and have it with me to find a different flight once the airport opened. This was the last time I checked a bag. What a nightmare. Carry-on is the only way I fly.
NOT true. The check-in fee can cost nearly as much as the flight ticket itself, particularly for budget airlines in Asia, AND we do not always need to carry 27KG worth of stuff for a trip.
Can't afford the price to check a bag, and just not worth it if you have any layovers at all. It also saves time all around - no waiting an hour and a half in the check-in line (I have to do that anyway, but for a different reason), less that has to go through security (they do screen checked bags as well as carry-on, and will open them for a bag search, if needed), and no waiting for an hour at the baggage claim for them to finally get it sent down. Less to have to haul to and from the airport and at your destination (if you have to walk, or if there aren't elevators or escalators). Lighter bags = less strain = less regret for bringing so much stuff, and if in Europe, less chance you'll stick out like a sore thumb as "American". And I'm definitely thankful for no weight limits on carry-on within and to and from the U.S., at least on most airlines - when I fly, I have to bring 3 bags onto the plane with me because 1) the third one can't be charged for or required to be checked because it's medical equipment (policy varies by airline, but the ones I fly allow it) and 2) I will not risk my suitcase getting broken by careless baggage handlers (they broke the wheels on one, and we had to drag it about a quarter mile over pavement, and it was heavy - that was before I learned how to pack minimally, but the point remains) - the one I use is the only carry-on size suitcase I own, and they're not cheap. Unless I have absolutely no other choice (e.g. inadvertently booking a Basic Economy ticket instead of regular Economy one - only made that mistake once, and now I double check before booking - or I'm forced to fly rather than drive in the winter, and hence have heavy winter clothes in tow (that only ever happened twice)), I will never check a bag again - it's just not worth it. And I can pack for 3 weeks in my rather small carry-on suitcase, my school backpack, and a small bag for medical stuff - it can easily be a combined total of 50lb (I do pack as minimally as I can), but having it all with me sure beats having almost none of it, and I don't have to carry anything if I don't want to - it all fits on my wheelchair, and the weight doesn't really matter because I don't have to push myself through the airport (I can't, anyway).
Forgive me but did you say put coins in your pockets people I really don’t think that’s a good idea that’s just my opinion
You can put coins in your pocket you just have to empty your pocket when going through security scanning. After, you can pout them back in your pocket or bag
Thank you for the tips.
I actually enjoyed these tips because I've done quite a few myself...wearing layers and heavy clothes (2 shirts, a sweater under a fleece and leggings under jeans, putting things in my pockets, even down to walking with an empty water bottle all the way to my destination because I literally had no more space.
I love this trick, wear heavy clothes 😂😂 so clever, thank you.
Thank you
Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing these great tips
Study Minimalism. I never check-in luggage. I always offer free extra pieces for kind-looking travelers who are taking excess pieces.
Useful tips 👌
Number is the best
