A passport note: I definitely do not look cool, but once I start my journeys, I wear a neck pouch and keep my passport safe in it. In one airport I pass through, I have to show my passport four more times after checking in. I also keep all my boarding passes in the pouch. And if I have any, I keep a few dollars in the local money inside for the first taxi. I would add here, that major airport hubs require a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes, or at least shoes that don't hurt. You could easily be walking ten minutes !

Yes, wear your best walking shoes for those far away gate trips. My boarding passes are on my 📱 iPhone, and my passport is in my bumbag.

I’m a former Lufthansa reservation agent and we always have to dress business appropriate when we fly, so no leggings or sweatshirts for me. I usually wear comfortable, no zipper, straight leg black pants, a white long sleeve t shirt and a knit blazer and comfortable slip on shoes. Works for me. Thanks for all your informative videos.

One of my fav hacks is to carry a large reusable grocery sack that folds down small. When going through security I put all the things that need to be taken off into the grocery bag (sweater, jackets, scarf) so it’s all contained and separated from those grimy bins. Once through security you take the bag over to wherever is convenient and reset. Reusable bag goes back in your personal bag and you run less of a risk of leaving anything. Works especially well when traveling with multiple people as it’s only 1 bag to keep up with.

Bouncing broom closet 😂😂😂. I’ve never heard a better description of an airplane restroom! Many years ago, my toddler spilled my Snappy Tom juice in my lap. There I was 32,000 feet in the air, 6 feet tall, having to take my jeans off in that bouncing broom closet and trying to wash just the crotch of said jeans. Never ever again would I get another drink on a plane with tomato juice 😮!

My neighbour is a pilot and he has told us many of time to flush with one foot in the lid to avoid unwelcome showers. One thing I always do especially for European travel is pack my oldest shoes that still look good and I wear them out. I always have a start of a hole when my weeks are done and then I just toss them behind and there is my room for gifts and treats. And no blisters because they were already broke in.

I switched my shoe laces for elastic laces (easily found on Amazon) so my tennis shoes slip on and off easily. Years and years ago I wore a long dress on a flight, tucked the back into my underpants in the “bouncing broom closet” and gave a few rows of passengers a free show before I noticed. I just laughed, oh well! 😂💕💕 Love your videos!

I love your videos because they are practical for everyone. So many fashion channels are unrealistic when discussing travel clothes. I sweat when I sit in a hot airplane for goodness’ sake!!!

Also, inspect your clothes to make sure they don't have any shiny/metallic threads or sequins. Those things LIGHT UP like a Christmas tree when you go through the machines, then they have to pull you aside and check you manually.

I really like your videos, but I do have one issue. Your clothes are so pretty, but I don’t have a budget for a sweater that costs over $100. Would you be able to supply some less expensive outfits? Thanks!

If you watch many of her videos you will find she has Amazon sweaters less than $25, Amazon Essentials, great value. I have 3 of them.

I sometimes teach overseas in unusual places. My trips are almost always over 20 hours long and sometimes almost 30. I would never wear jeans. I now wear llbean navy, double knit pants -- not pretty but after 10 or 15 hours I don't care. I wear a good t shirt and well fitted cotton sweater. I do carry a long scarf though I am very careful with it. It works for heat, a rolled up neck pillow, and for modesty at my destinations. If I am not wearing socks, I have good quality footlets so I don't have to go barefooted through security.

Same.....I already have my outfit planned

1991 flight home from Hawaii - I was in shorts & my seat mate a flight attendant from Canada said "You are going to freeze". So at 0300 I was changing into my Tracky Dacks (Tracksuit trousers) in my seat as I was cold. I NEVER made that mistake ever again !!!!

I used to work with a friend at the Ren Fair and we sold cloaks and capes. People used to buy cloaks from us that were too long for them, saying that they would just hold them up. I did the same thing when I inherited a cloak from an old boyfriend who was moving out of the country and was downsizing. After a few years, I finally gave up and had it shortened for me. We started advising people to have them shortened and would do alterations out of sight of the patrons, just so that they wouldn't drag our beautiful cloaks through the dirt and leaves on the ground. Thirty years later, I still have that cloak and it still looks good because I don't drag it through the dirt.

I always love your videos Laurie, always such practical tips for regular people. I always fly carry on only, and I dress and pack my personal item as if they will make me check my carry on case and then lose it. So I choose my flight outfit not just for comfort, but also to give options for several outfits when combined with what I have in my personal item bag. Generally my heaviest and nicest slacks on the plane (comfy elastic waist casual dressy knit pants), with a somewhat dressy tank shell, a t-shirt, a long sleeve blouse, a sweater, and my Scottevest vest which has enough pockets to serve as essentially another free carry on. Plus a jacket on colder months. And always a scarf for the plane. Once I am seated, I can take off anything that is too hot, wrap it in the oversized scarf, and use it as a pillow. I bring mix and match items in a compression cube in my personal item bag, and that gives me several different outfit choices even if my other clothes get lost by the airline.

LL Bean. "Perfect Fit pants". @@TravelTipsbyLaurie

for the men, I bought a pair of black golf pants a few years back, and they are great for airport wear. they're made to wear with or without a belt, they fit well, don't feel too light, and are comfortable for the flight. for everybody: remember that the runway at the airport is for the planes, not for fashion shows. nobody you care about will be judging you for selecting your outfit for comfort and utility instead of for fashion. addendum: in fact, if I see you in the airport wearing clothes that will make your trip miserable in the name of fashion, I'm gonna judge you for THAT. but not in a mean way, of course.

I have pants in 3 colors from Lands End that are made from recycled plastic and don't wrinkle. They have a cotton knit waistband and zippered pockets. Lint and cat fur do not stick to them and they always look neat. They work in winter or summer and are easy to wash/dry. I wear a tank, button-down shirt and sometimes with a cashmere pullover in winter. I always wear a cardigan, and in winter I have a lightweight packable longer packable jacket from Lands End. In summer, I wear a lightweight cashmere scarf/shawl and in winter, I pack a heavier shawl which doubles as a blanket. I also take with me HotHands Warming Insoles which I insert in my shoes at the start of an international flight (after boarding) which keep my feet warm for 8 hours.

Quince Mongolian cashmere and their tshirts are awesome! I’m usually a small, but go to a medium in the tshirts. They’re body skimming, not form fitting. I hate anything that sticks totally to me.

Try Hickies to replace regular shoe laces. Makes shoes easy slip-ons. We also wear water-proof tennis shoes for travel, no need for rain boots that take up so much room.

Unlike most people, I don’t get cold on a plane, I get really warm. I also travel between different climates. What I wear now is a ‘nicer’ black lounge outfit. It’s not as thick as a sweatsuit and also looks less casual. In a warm climate, I have a tank underneath and pop the top in my carry on/personal item. Also I include both a packable down vest and packable down coat. These really take up very little space and I can chose how much warmth I need. Just last week I travelled from Costa Rica (28C) to Canada (-15C) and I was completely comfortable in both climates and the various airports and planes on the trip. I appreciate your videos and have found your tips very helpful. 😊

Good reminders about dragging clothing around on soiled surfaces when in transit. Sleek, simple, and able to add a layer is best. Coordinated pieces for various destinations make is easier to pack and enjoy a stay. Could you maybe remind folks that footwear during transit time is important? Thongs, fragile sandals, high heels and tiny slip-ons will hinder one's ability to move and scramble in an emergency. We do not need to wear combat boots, but I often see next-to-nothing footwear on airplanes.

I get really warm. Can you take a small rechargeable fan on the plane

There are not as many clothing options here in NZ as there are in the US; especially if you are over a size 16 (there are still supply chain issues going back to 2022). I'm having to import garments from other countries :(

My 'hotel shoes' are lightweight ballet-type slippers. They go in a pocket of my personal bag. First thing I do, after arriving inside the terminal, before even _thinking_ of going to security is to find a seat, take off my shoes, pull on a pair of foot sox (disposable liner socks for trying on shoes) and put on those slippers. Bag the shoes and place in my personal bag. Get in line - pop the slippers in the grey bin, collect my stuff on the other side, take off the footies and put my slippers back on. *After* I get out of the security area, I can put my regular shoes back on at my lesiure, toss the foot sox, and go on my way.

So helpful!!

Thanks Laurie! Great tips! Another aspect of the oversized clothing I don’t believe occurs to people is the seats are so tiny, if you’re in oversized clothing, you could easily be taking up more than your share of space. Like you Laurie, us smaller women always tend to get seated by someone larger than us. Seems I end up sharing my tiny area with whomever is seated next to me. If they’re in large clothing, it just makes it even harder.

Lucky you for inheriting genes that tend to make you smaller! Many of us struggle our ENTIRE LIVES to become a smaller size acceptable to you!

Hi ms laurie! I think women should not wear wired, push-up bras during a flight or tight panties. Triumph Zero Feel bras and Uniqlo Airism bras are super comfortable, you forget you are wearing them. A bonus point is that these dry super quickly when u wash them at your destination. 😊

Thank you Sasha!

Another tip: move things you need access to during your flight, from your pant pockets, into your shirt pockets (gum; ear plugs, cell phone, eyeglasses, etc.) because the disappearing leg-room restricts access for your hands to reach into your pant pockets, especially in the dreaded middle seat.

Great tip! Yes essentials can spill out of your pockets.

Laurie, the links to the tee shirts are blocked for me. Could you tell me the brand please?

I wear travel outfit coming and going only, and keep separate from other clothes for sanitary reasons.

Yes, my flight attendant friend here would say the same thing.

Keep it simple.

Such sage advice for travel outfits!

I’m offended. J/k 😉 great video as usual 🧡

Lots of travel packing videos recommend merino wool. What do you think about it?

Yes, I have a LILYSILK merino wool sweater, but it's a little cropped so I do not wear it to travel. Very soft! But also in shirts-which I have not tried.

In spring of 2023 Walmart carried colored stretch cropped jeans. I find them lighter and comfortable, and I’m short. I don’t know if they will be available this year.

Oops I thought you were another gal from California. Can you go to their stores? Maybe they are in store if sold out online. Colored denim always seems to be lighter weight to me too.

Laurie, what brand are those tan walking sandals I saw at about 10 minutes?

Hi here they are: rstyle.me/+a2TO86Rb4EbgtoEIG5igUQ

If travelling with a baby/toddler bring a change of clothes (or at least a t-shirt/top) for yourself (as well as baby) which is easily accessible. My 6 month old threw up all over me before take off. I had change for her but not for me. All my clothes were checked. I also flew alone with her. Cabin crew were not helpful!

Where can I find the link for these shorts?

💜

I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU! PLEASE HELP ME TO CHOOSE A GREAT WEEKENDER BAG FOR TRAVIELING❤
