Just to clarify, I would only be wearing the jacket zipped up over the Fanny pack when going past the gate agent and onto the plane. You would have to remove the jacket and Fanny pack when going through airport security 😊

I giggled at your bubble butt demo! I was planning on packing a cargo type jacket anyway, now I have a purpose for all those pockets!

I’ve only recently learned a Fanny pack/sling bag worn either on the waist or across the chest/back is allowed as a wardrobe accessory and not a personal item. I’ve always stuffed mine into my personal item bag, then removed it in order to move easily around the airport before boarding and after landing.

Nice list! I should think about this more before our next flight. The main things I bring on the plane are: hoodie sweater, socks, snacks, wet wipes, tissues, masks, pen, passports, phone. I usually have some little alcohol wipes on me too. 🌺✈Heidi

You can also sew (or iron on tape) a small pocket in your scarf to hold flat items.

Noise cancelling headphones! Game changer!

Thanks for the great tips! I put my lotion, lip balm and eye drops in a snack sized baggie inside of my liquid bag. Then when I am at the gate, I can pull that out to have on me for the plane ride! I'm going to have to try that solid hand lotion!

New subscriber here! Thanks so much for your great tips and advice! I have a travel vest with multiple pockets that I love and wear during flights, and I also have a scarf with zipper pockets.

Women were being asked to remove their cross body and belt bags and put them in their personal item bag on my last flight.
The maximum size for a personal item bag was 9x13 inches.

I have a travel vest with about 10 pockets, including 2 interior with zips. Have been using them for decades, also great for not uaving to bend down and rummage through underseat bag looking for stuff. Ive found that wrist pressure bands are helpful to reduce motion discomfort.

A quilted vest is great in fall and winter for hiding a cross body bag .

Hahahahaha glad I'm not the only one! I've been doing this since 2018 because i really don't want my essentials to be separated from me & it'shard to dig through my carry on or personal bag. This way i get 3 bags 😂

[Hairlessmonkey]

Ear pods! Hey thanks for the tips, cheese string for a snack is a GREAT idea!

[rikieshaward]

Frequent spirit flyer i hid my Fanny pack under my sweater. Always bring my packable Patagonia jacket. I dislike being cold. Wipes are a must, portable charger, and sunglasses.

Great video very interesting information. Thank you. I love that cargo jacket and fanny pack hack. My apologies if this question sounds dumb since I haven’t flown since before 9/11. Wondering how do you get this through the security at the airport? Don’t you have to take off your jacket, scarf and Fannypack to get through the x-ray machine? You have to put that back on before boarding the plane. Again, I haven’t flown in a long time, so not sure how that works.

The pillowcase idea is awesome! New subscriber here! I love your sense of humor too😊

[Gevedon]

Fun packing hacks! Thank you for sharing!

What is the name black backpack and where did you buy this ?

[TheKatina]

My question is where does the full jacket of things and Fanny pack go when you go thru TSA?

[sherrytolbird]

I never travel without airborne or. Jet lag pills huge game changer. Do airborne everyday traveling and twice day traveling to and from home.
