  1. Thank you great video.
    I use the“Tube”travel pillow stores clothes and provides neck and lumbar support. You get neck and lumbar support plus additional storage with no additional baggage fees. Clips to your carry on, around your waist and your neck. Slim, nimble and easy to use, the Tube packs in its own pocket then fits handily into yours. I can fit a full set of clothes for a day plus pajamas in my tube.

  2. It’s all fun and games when you have a carry on AND such a big personal bag. For many companies it doesn’t work like that, you can have a trolley carry on to put over the seat, and a small purse or laptop container. That’s it. 😅

  3. In Europe there is always a maximum weight for hand luggage and often also for personal luggage. For example ;
    BAG UNDER THE SEAT
    It can be a small purse, a laptop or similar that must fit under the seat in front of you.
    Maximum size: 40cm x 30cm x 15cm (length x width x depth).
    HAND LUGGAGE
    Hand luggage must be placed in the luggage compartment above the seats and can be a small cabin bag or similar.
    Maximum size: 55cm x 40cm x 23cm (length x width x height).
    Maximum weight: 8 kg

  4. Great content 👌 👏 👍
    Question, how many of those bottles for liquids am i allowed to carry on, can i have more of the smaller size 🤔
    Thanks 🙏
    Also does the toilet bag fit well in your under seat bag. . Thanks again

  5. Great tips, thanks. Not sure if you have them in the US, or other countries, but we now have shampoo and/or conditioner bars, so this would decrease the liquids also.

  6. That carryon and personal item would not work for most flights in Europe…your personal bag is the size of the carryon in Europe. The actual personal item size is 40x30x10 cm…think shoebox size.

  7. I really like your suggestion of the large personal item bag, however the size of it is: 55 x 27 x 18 cm, am I am flying with KLM and their limit is: 40 x 30 x 15 cm… Should I be worried about taking the chance with this bag…? Maybe it won’t matter as long as it fits under the seat, but maybe they’ll measure it or say it’s too big….? 😬

  8. Question, are you still using Level 8 Carry-on since you made this video? Been reading some poor reviews about zipper breaking, etc. Was going to order, but a little nervous

  9. Do you have a video on clothing to pack that will cover a 3 week trip please? I guess mix and match and similar colour schemes. Boring but practical?
