We’ve received a TON of questions about how/if we can carry-on each of our suitcases given (1) the large liquids in our toiletry bag and (2) their seemingly higher than allowed weight. To clarify, we do NOT carry our suitcases on our flights. We check them, which is generally included in the international and domestic flights we book. We use and prefer traveling with a carry-on suitcase because they are way easier to travel with long term across destinations. Whether we’re lugging them on and off trains across Europe or on and off a longtail boat in Thailand, they’re much better than a big checked suitcase. Also, our carry-ons always fit into the trunk of cars when we road trip around countries. So, we pack our carry-ons to maximize space and get around countries easier for 2-3 month trips. Hope this makes sense! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Packing your shoes together takes more space and you don’t need to buy one bag for them: a grocery bag or even a shower cap works.

Exactly, i just use grocery bags for shoes. I keep any zipper bags from any store purchases ie curtains good for toiletries or anything. Also zip lock bags will work. I just like clear so i can easily bsee without tossing everything out. Whatever works for each.

I have watched dozens of packing videos for an upcoming 3-6 month trip to Europe. That was by far the BEST! Finally a good one!

I always pack a full ‘pharmacy’ in my carry-on when I travel, internationally especially. While yes, you can find meds wherever you travel, my experience is that they probably won’t be exactly the same as what you’re used to. Plus, I’ve seen/experienced what happens when you don’t feel well on the flight and have nothing with you to help. So I always always have anti-nausea, upset stomach, cold meds, cough drops, Tylenol, anti-diarrheal, and some bandaids with me.

I was glad to see a headline for "not" rolling clothing. Your video is unique in that regard. Rolling might work for some people, but rolling all clothing items is way too much work for me. I like just talking out my cubes with everything folded flat (except for small items like socks). For me, it's more about weight than space, so I try to use the lightest weight, within reason, clothing items. I also look for the least bulky clothing. A bulky sweater can take up a lot of luggage real estate. For shoes, I found individual shoe bags. This increases the options of where to fit the shoes.

A couple of thoughts for the toiletries bag, the clear one that’s limited to one liter/quart size and liquids of max 100 ml per container. I f you need more space or more toiletries, have a second bag that you put all the non-liquid items in - toothbrush, floss, medicines (pills, not liquids), razor, etc in. I just started doing this on the last couple of trips and I have more room than I need for those liquid items. I use the Nalgene bottles generally, although there are other bottles that weigh less and are less robust, imo. You can also use clear Stretch film (like Saran Wrap) in little squares to put an additional seal under the lids to eliminate spillage inside your toilet bag. I use these in particular on the travel size items with a flip open lid to avoid leaks. Great tips on the video. I haven’t checked a bag in several years, on multiple trips in all seasons, for 2 weeks or more. Some of the budget carriers actually weigh your carry on bag and can be unbelievably restrictive. All about generating additional revenue.

I will research packing cubes something I have thought about doing . Great video

really good summary of hand luggage/ carry on packing, thanks for sharing. I used many of your ideas throughout my yrs - so I am quite knowledgeable with traveling too, but some of your hacks were new to me. thanks. ;-)

If you get motion sickness, Amazon sells “ low dose Dramamine” this is actually Meclizine. These tablets come in a container like your or in a another regular bottle. The nice part about these is they are breakable 25 mg tablets that are scored and can easily be broken into fourths. I am horribly sensitive to medication and I can actually take a 1/4 tablet and function without excessive sleepiness and they work better than anything I’ve used. I keep them in my purse and cannot even drive curvy roads or stand downstream of a river and watch the water without feeling ill. These tablets also can be chewed ( not much flavor and not gross) for rapid effect. I have taken stock , these are awesome!

Amazed to see they all fit and weigh 7kg. Tried in one of my domestic trips and my luggage was over the weight limit.

I'm really curious since you're traveling the world with a carry-on that is already that heavy how do you stay under the 7 kg / 15 lb that most international Airlines have as their carry on limit? Are they just not weighing the bags? They look pretty packed and heavy to me.

If you're doing carry-on only, just buy liquids like shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, and lotion when you get wherever you're going and ditch it before you fly back. That way you only have to pack essential liquids in your carry-on that you would need during your actual travel days (liquid makeup, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, etc.), all in travel bottles and all fitting in that one quart-sized bag...hopefully. 😊

Great tips! I'm a die hard packing cube fan (I also love EC ones). We had carry ons for our 3 wk trip to Japan but they forced us to gate check and when we arrived my suitcase looked like it was eaten by a trex and all that was left was the metal frame thankfully with all of my packing cubes still in place but anything else like small things in my front and back pockets were GONE 😫 lesson learned, packing cubes for life!
