The only addition I would have to your packing video would be instead of just shoving the smaller backpack into the larger backpack (you'll never be able to compress all of the air out of it so it's still going to take up a ridiculous amount of space) I would have actually packed my things into the smaller backpack. Then when the small backpack was full it will still fit inside of the larger backpack and almost act as a compression cube so that you could fit more stuff inside a smaller space. You probably wouldn't have needed the travel vest everything could have fit in the backpack possibly.

Or bring packable backpack

The vest with stuff in the pockets is to get past the weight requirement. If she’s wearing it, it won’t count against the 7kg :)

I was thinking the same thing. Or, what I did on my last trip is buy the 2nd bag at my destination before my return trip, especially if on an airplane where weight is a consideration or you want to put your backpack under the seat if no overhead room.

The light tote to carry the vest is genius. Thank you.

Finally a packing demo based on airline size AND weight limit. Air New Zealand and Jet star for travel between NZ and Aussie have the strict weight restriction of 7kg. Your bag is only 1kg in empty weight but provides space, multi pocket and usb charge options. Best lightweight bag I have seen.great. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! 😊

Passenger: Uses vest to store the other stuff and puts it in a tote bag so the backpack is less than 7kgs. Airline: Sees the overstuffed vest and weighs everything at check-in. Bam! Excess baggage. The Cerave bottle -leave it or transfer the contents in a smaller container that’s less than 100ml.

FYI, Zipair now will weigh and tag all your bags. If they spot an untagged bag after security, they can check again.

Yes, all budget airlines weighs everything.

Never thought I'd see the day a woman travelling light😮😂 Thanks for the brilliant tips

Brilliant! You should be proud of yourself!

I took zip air to/from Japan last year . FYI they weigh everything , even my hand bag and carryon bag was weighed together !

Zip Air was $700 roundtrip but I decided to spend the extra $300 to fly United. I’ve never flown the budget airlines and if I can help it I never will. There are other options besides the fishing vest. I have a fleece coat which looks very nice and is comfortable but on the inside noone would ever know how many pockets and just how much I could store. Literally I could carry iPads and many other things. The coat is made with a structure so it will not droop either. I carry all of my electronics in the coat as well as everything that I would typically carry in my pants pockets. That way when I go through security I just take the coat off to get scanned and that’s it. My travel belt has a plastic buckle so no need to remove it. I fly out tomorrow! All the best to you

I thought you have to take everything electric out of your jacket and place it in a bin. I just learned something new. thank you. Have a safe trip. I'll be going to Japan soon. Can you bring snacks and treats back in your carry on or personal bag? Do I have to take it out from the original package and put it in a zip lock?

@@sovyc977 no need to remove anything out of your jacket pockets. Just place the jackets with the pockets full in the bin to go through the xray machine. I don’t bring a laptop with me any longer otherwise I thing you’d still need to take that out. I have TSA Pre so I’m not sure if I would need to do that but I don’t worry about it since I don’t bring the laptop. Bring all the snacks you can carry bro. The liquids is what the TSA folks have problems with
