You should pin this comment....for the benefit of your viewers.
Keep in mind that hanging a hero clip over the stall door in a bathroom makes it very attractive and easy to steal the hero clip and the the bag attached to it!!!!!

Yeah! That's why you should do it on the sidewalls, not the door 👍 I've also hung it on the hinge too!
This is one of the best travel tip videos I've ever seen. Great suggestions!
Loved this video! ❤ I too am a huge believer in having ziplock bags around all the time for so many uses,and they hardly take up any space!
Yes to the Hero clip. I have two just in case I lose one. The best travel accessory!
I'd add some bongo ties or string/paracord to the list. Cordage, in particular, is quite underrated. Especially if you know how to tie some knots. A constrictor knot is easy to tie and great for organizing cables. The bowline gives you a stable loop that won't change size. The alpine butterfly knot lets you tie a loop into a rope that's under tension. Another thing I always have in my wallet is some gorilla tape wrapped around an old credit card. For cutting the above, you'll need one of those Victorinox Swiss Cards or some other multitool with scissors, just make sure it's TSA compatible.
I couldn’t believe what a huge difference they made the first time I used noise canceling headphones! You are right, the noise of the airplane itself is fatiguing plus I sleep so much better with them. Now I won’t travel without them.
I use Ziploc bags all the time. Perfect for the lake or beach, too! Great video!💖😎🛫🚝
I really like the towel ponchos
Awesome, definitely buying the scrunchies for my wife!
I ordered those scrunchies! Those look awesome 🤩 Thanks for the tips!!
I've had a Hero Clip for years, and you're absolutely right, it's a must have for travel! Honestly, the place I end up using it the most is in airport restrooms, as you don't always have a functioning hook on the back of the stall door.

Except in some countries they will take these carabiner style items away from you at the security check-in. "They can be used as a knuckle duster weapon" Air France security informed me before taking it. I used one for attaching my watch and wedding ring etc through security so everything was easily found and together. As well as hanging, attaching, securing etc etc.
Great for music festivals….if you know what I mean 😅
Love the stealth scrunchies!
Loved your video, your energy and all the useful tips. Keep going.❤
Thanks Aly, you’re awesome!
Obssessed!! Love mine!!
Aly! These are brilliant! Most useful video of all time and I have watched a lot! Thanks for such great content! ❤

Love the idea of the foot hammock!

Works so well!
great ideas thank you
The BEST tips I have heard in ages & quick & to the point. Thank you.
... this... actually... was very informative...!! great job! I'd add: - airplane window organizer - tray table cover (both on amazon) - nice slippers and comfy socks for looong flights in coach (feels like first class if you bring your own peanuts) - nail clippers... (i ALWAYS forget these... bandaids, etc) Hope you find these helpful - I fly on Friday - ciao.
Great tips Aly 👌
I have one of those clips. I love it.
I have some of the Heroclips. I use it for hanging a small pouch on the seatback when on a plane to hold my phones, earbuds, snacks, etc. Holds all I need in the air other than my tablet. I also keep several on my luggage to use as needed. I use some of those same plastic toiletry pouches you talked about at 2:40 ish. Interesting thing I found is that some kinds of shampoo (dandruff shampoo in my experience) degrade the plastic plug and it breaks off in the hole.
Great stuff guys! ❤

They really are the most underrated item I think!
Many of these are genius and I’ll probably buy some. I personally hate the sling bag. I feel like stuff is hard to access and can easily be falling out. I just use a small Crossbody purse.
Lol, "or to hold a drink." That's my kind of travel tip.
Those scrunchies sound great! Really interesting video - lots of new gadgets I've discovered :D
One I’ll add: charging cable soft case. Most people have extra cables so I have a case that stays in my back back I take on every trip that has all my cables I could need. Don’t have to remember to grab any.

Foot hammock only works if you are under 5'6
I use ziplocks kinda like packing cubes. I roll and pack my smaller clothing items in them…..underwear, socks, tanks/t’s, swimsuits as well as lotions etc. I like that they keep everything separate and if security wants to look inside the suitcase my clothes aren’t on display! Those liquid pouches look like a great idea, but how easy are they to clean out?

The foot hammock in the description box doesn't appear to be the same as the one in the video. I like the non-flat base of the one in the video. Could you share the brand of that one? Thanks!
Genius❤
thanks for the video I had the TSA in Mexico take my pouches from me because they said they didn't know how much was in there and what it was, which did not make sense but I was on my way home to the state so it did not matter
Save your money on toiletry sleeves and use a small piece of plastic wrap over the mouth and then screw on or close the cap.

Forget neck pillows and get a soft neck brace - smaller, lighter, more effective, more comfortable
Great vid and tips and I’m defo ordering the Heroclips, but I’m not sure the airlines will appreciate the stress on their tray tables with the foot hammock. And I dint wanna be on the next flight to discover a broken or loose tray table.
@alysmalls

It's hard to explain where they attach, it's moreso on top of the metal support piece behind the tray table...I hope that clarifies!
@littlebitty7633

I thought that, too when I first took mine, but they actually slide in between the seat and the tray table...waaaay down in the "v" part. There's no stress on the table.
I have had a HeroClip for a couple of years and the only thing that I use it for is to hang my keys. It's too much trouble to do anything else with.
Can you please share with me where in PV ( I'm guessing) you were when you were showing about the belt bag

Great video. I would be very reluctant to hang anything off the walls of a public toilet stall...there's a reason why many places have started moving the hooks lower on the walls to avoid reach over theft.

With those foot hammocks, you'll need to check if the airlines allow it a handful of airlines declared them a banned item.
Bottle condoms😂
many airlines have banned foot hammocks. i've had one for 5 years but no longer carry it.
What liquid pouches did you like?
Foot hammocks are terrifically uncomfortable. If you insist on having some sort of foot hammock use a waist pack so you can carry stuff in it, too
@anncook1436
6 ай бұрын
@annaBanana - can you explain a little more how the hammock is uncomfortable? I was super excited to see them in this video. I’m only 5 feet tall, so sitting in an airline seat for any length of time gets uncomfortable. Usually I pull out my backpack from under the seat to put my feet on, but I then also have to bring a towel because I don’t want to put my shoes directly on my backpack.

Hanging your bag on a bathroom stall is begging to have it stolen. On more than one occasion I’ve seen a hand over the door reaching for something hanging.

I use condoms to seal my liquid toiletries. They are super cheap. I'm 65 and married. You have no idea the laughs I've gotten going through security whenTSA searches my bag.
I don't do a lot of traveling. Maybe, once a year..please recommend the biggest bag that fits under the airline seat
