I may be traveling soon with some family members who bring a carry on, a large personal item bag and the biggest (checked) suitcases I’ve ever seen. I’m going to try to get them to watch your videos because we can’t do the kind of travel I’m planning with all that stuff. You’re very helpful and persuasive. Wish me luck.

I have the Monos and it’s been a lifesaver!

Wow a rare Sunday video! I fly Spirit and follow these tips for domestic travel. I save a lot by not paying for checkins. Side note- is the Chris voice over video coming soon? It is inevitable that someone is going to comment it so I figured I'd get it out of the way

Marshall's, TJMaxx, and Nordstrom Rack all have well-stocked luggage sections and it's very educational to put bags that are all nominally 21" or 22" next to each other and ask yourself who's telling the truth - they are wildly different in size in real life.

Last year I replaced my worn out large checked bag size suitcase with a clam shell and I agree about the disadvantage of needing to open the entire bag in the middle. I definitely would NOT want this for a carry on size bag as it would be much harder to organize (and with the much more limited space good organization is a must).

The Dirty Duffel is a great idea. I’m going to use that tip the next time I travel. 👍😃👍

[live.travel.]

definitely some great points! I personally prefer backpacking, and I understand it's not for everyone for various reasons, but places like Europe with uneven ground surfaces and tight stairwells or elevators, backpacks for me are great! pacsafe or like brands are fantastic. less items is so much better and you don't have to haul it around, if it doesn't fit you probably don't need it. for liquids I can fit all toiletries in a bag I got off amazon, you can use bar shampoo or dry shampoo so you don't have the space and weight of liquid, toiletries add more weight than you think. bring shower sandals if you stay in hostels, pac towels for weight and space. I managed to bring all carry on to car camp in Iceland, it is possible!

I love love love the dirty duffle hack!!! Thank you Aly

With your recommendation, I purchased the Travel pro carry on for an international travel and it was perfection

[midlifemom]

Do u have a video on packing for cold fall weather vacay where bulky items needed (sweaters, coats, workout, walking boots, dressy).

Can you suggest carry-on for kids 9 years old and up? We took our first family trip last summer. I spent so much on luggages fee that I promised myself to do better and get them each their own carry-on. With 4 kids, it's a must.

I would really appreciate it. Thank you

I've been traveling with a carry on and a backpack for the past few years. My carry on is an older soft Victorinox 2 wheeler that has been very good to me. I recently purchased some Peak Design packing cubes for better organization. My "personal" item is Peak Design Travel backpack 30L that is definitely on the larger side, but so far I haven't had any issues traveling with it on the US.

I just got home last night from the US, and was surprised how many people put both their main carry on and personal item in the overhead bin so they had full leg room. Lol. Sorry but I don't go for that anymore, and if that practice is taking up a space for my carry on, I'm the one who will move it/cram it to make room for mine. I don't have the patience for stuff like that anymore. One time there was an announcement saying all backpacks had to be under the seat but mine didn't fit and needed to be in overhead bin. I saw two backpacks up there already, so when a flight attendance called me out I said what about those people who put their backpacks up there? 🥴 Then she had to relent and let me put it up there.

[thedavidguy]

When I travel I always use subways, trains, and buses after the flight so size and weight are critical! Most people that I see traveling, especially internationally, are taking far too much. My wife and I have been paring down what we bring for many years and I think we have finally reached our minimum and optimal amount of stuff. We regularly do three week trips with one carry on bag each. If we really need something while traveling we just buy it, usually at a thrift shop.

Do you prefer the Velocity or the Anode? Also any status on convincing Chris to do the voiceover Talls video? :)

[davesaunders]

Solid info and I like the dirty duffle idea, I have yet to try it though.

[debbyharasen]

There are definitely weight restrictions in North America!!!

I just bought a clam shell suitcase for the first time. I have plenty of cases but I’m travelling with 3 other family members and we have to get our luggage in a car so I needed a smaller 4 wheel case. I hope I’ve made the right decision in getting the clam shell style as I’ve not had one before. I love 4 wheels though! I usually take a backpack onboard as it means both hands are free when walking around the airport. I also have my Hedgren shoulder bag, which has been my everyday bag now for about 10 years!
