This SIMPLE Hack Will Change the Way You Pack Your Carry-on Forever

This video is a follow up to my previous packing video (which has over 1 Million views now! https://youtu.be/tgjB6BmxM5g?si=xpNGzE7821l9PH1v ) where everyone asked about a more lightweight solution! I hope it helps! Here is everything I used in the video: 👇 Stuffable neck pillow: amzn.to/3Vo0wex Backpack (amazon US): amzn.to/43rLzKn Backpack (amazon CA): amzn.to/3TwBIyC Packing cubes (multi size): amzn.to/4ciSBFo Packing cube (slim): amzn.to/3Tn8rWP Belt bag: amzn.to/48ZwL6U Toiletry bag: amzn.to/4ajvQiU Foot hammock: amzn.to/43mYEod Monos Roller bag: bit.ly/3Vkcy8M Weekender bag: amzn.to/43oMRWD See everything together in my Amazon storefront: amzn.to/3Vou1wJ Best travel credit cards for earning free travel: www.dailydrop.com/credit-cards?via=aly-smalls Here's all my outfit pieces: amzn.to/3THoOid Access my free travel toolkit: (where I list all my travel resources & hacks): likewhereyouregoing.com/ultimate-travel-resources-…

Retired 18z and lived in Europe for 13 years. I would trade the birkenstocks for a Teva type sandal that has a rear strap to hold it on. You can wear it into the water on rocky beaches, if you need to move quickly fire/theft/natural disaster/terrorism you will not run out of your sandals. Can be worn in the shower to prevent athletes foot. Works better on cobblestones and steps. Next item is a door wedge to prevent your hotel/air bnb door from being opened. Some come with an alarm. The last item is a small but powerful "tactical" flashlight for use in emergencies, power outage, stuck in elevator, natural disaster, checking for hidden cameras etcetera.

My favorite part of this was seeing her with her husband. They look so much in love! Happy traveling!!!

I save my oldest underwear (has holes), socks, bras, and clothes. When I travel I wear them and throw them out. This leaves space for "treasues" on my return home trip. I also leave my toiletries before going home.

Literally just screamed when the Husband came in, LOL!!! Was NOT expecting that. LMAOOO!!!!! Loved the tip on the neck pillow thing.

Good job on the clothing combinations, I’ll need to use that this summer…. I have used the neck pillow hack a few times. I used neck pillow from MUJI. This hack works best with light scarfs, packable light down jackets from Uniqlo or wind jacket. Try rolling wide and curving and stuffed like a long pillow filling into the neck pillow cover. It feels like a true neck pillow which I have used on the plane. Never fill the pillow with too many complicated pieces or anything visible under the security screen or else, they might need to ask u to open the pillow for inspection. When it’s too cold on the plane, take the thin down jacket out and keep my body warm. I also pack a slim empty thermos on the side of the backpack. Fill it up after security so that I have water anytime I want. Also, I did bring old undies, socks, toothbrush, worn out cosmetic brushes etc. and dispose of them at the end of the trip. About toiletries, I used couple of contact lenses storage cases to fill the numerous lotion, cleanser, cream, suntan lotion, mosquitoes repellent, toner and labeled them on the cover. These cases are supposed to hold contact lens solution and won’t spill! After the trip, easily washable and waste only a little residue. I do think that nowadays, we need an electronics packing cube to store adapters, cables, power banks, headphones, travel wall plug, etc. My objective is to pack light and efficient, not to aim at putting the bag to sacrifice any leg room though…. But if it ended up needed to be on the floor, I usually fold n pack a thin plastic bag which can wrap the whole backpack to be put on the filthy floor…. And can be dispose of after the flight.

As a business traveler (2-3 weeks at a time, suits etc). I really appreciate you suggesting under the seat for this kind of traveler. I always check in my suitcase and a small rucksack for laptop etc. if everyone travelled like you or like I do. There would be no fight for the overhead storage.

I really appreciated this video. I've watched a lot of different ones gleaning any tips I can. We travel for 2-3 months at a time so laundry is a non-negotiable and no big deal. Also, having so many outfits is nice but unnecessary, imo. I guess it depends on what kind of trip. If you keep moving who are the multiple outfits for? Nobody but you and your husband (and probably not him, actually) will know how many times you've worn the same thing. ☺️ Finally, you didn't include cables, adapters or anything to do with your tech. These are just my opinions as an early retired female, travelling as much as possible in this stage of life with husband who has helped me realize, nobody knows what I've worn 3 days ago.😊

Thank you for doing one of the best packing videos I have ever seen! This solves the problem of Europe and Southeast Asia flights. I just finished a 77-day trip, and I could have used that system just fine except for electronics and cameras. Thanks again fir a brilliant packing system option!!!

Great tips. Good belt tip is don’t pack curled up, but have it run flat around the edge of your clothing. Pack socks inside shoes. Just a thought for personal items on floor- it’s not always clean. Once could not work out why my white shirt was red and sticky- my bag had gone from floor to lap- clearly there had been a soft drink or sticky sweets spill- so pack the wipes as well. Thanks also for product link.

This is brilliant, and the most useful travel video I've ever seen. You solved the carry on crisis. The spot under the seat goes with the ticket so there's no competition for anything. And in fact I'm going on a two week trip next month, and had planned to do it with just a backpack or my small duffle.

Very impressed. You’re the first travel YouTuber who has packed a small underseat bag. Am very impressed. For Poland soon I’m just taking an underseat bag. Much easier to lug from airport to Airbnb to train etc. 👏👏

I just wanna thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Not only do you provide packing lists, but then how to wear your pieces 27 different ways!? You’ve probably helped so many people save money on baggage fees with these hacks!! Sincere thank you for helping those of us who could never seem to figure this out on our own😆

Really doesn't matter how long you go for. One weeks clothes are enough and... use the laundry. Like you do that home 😊. Thank You for showing us the neck pillow 👋👋

Thanks, Aly! You & your husband are adorable! ❤ I continue to challenge myself to pack carry-on only, now my second time completed. I used that neck pillow sleeve, on the way there, packing a L'Hamman Turkish towel & three pairs of 32° Cool Footie socks...on the way back, my Lunar Pooch windbreaker. A tip I used for the first time & maybe helpful to others: I packed both of mine, an ultra-absorbant hair towel (Aquis brand & other brand). They weigh next to nothing & take up so little space! Not only great to speed dry washed hair, also to absorb more water out of freshly handwashed items which means faster airdrying & rewearing. All equaling packing less without sacrificing style. I refuse to do that! 😁✈️🧳❤️💯 SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL!

Wow! I’m really impressed by your packing skills and the black backpack, toilet bag, the other small black bag, and that sleeve you use. Excellent and thanks for your video.

ok mind blowing. I'm practicing on a few shorter trips for a longer trip to italy in May. Absolutely amazing and thank you!

The neck pillow idea is amazing! I'm going to try it on my next trip. Thank you!

I love that you can use a foot hammock for long haul leg room comfort, yet your husband would need to remove the entire seat in front of him for any leg room comfort. When it comes to travel being shorter ain't so bad! 😊

I’m shook! That neck pillow! Amazon here I come.
