Just a few comments. Check your baggage restrictions in foreign destinations. Both of those bags are probably too big if you are flying between international countries. Many of them, the carry on is 20 inches, including the wheels (many bags saying they are 20" are actually 22" with wheels. Foreign airlines are much stricter and may have you actually put your bag(s) in a sizer. The liquids ne3d to be in a separate bag and actually fit in a quart zip bag. They may give you one of their bags and you'll have to transfer all your items.
Whilst I appreciate you are sticking your packing to two bags only I cannot imagine that they fall within the weight limit for most airlines. For my upcoming trip, the weight limit is 7 kg per carry on bag and I am already over that weight and don't have as much stuff as you! I know that I have to keep my liquids and electrical items packed separately so that they can be checked at security. You're packing tips may be appropriate for the US but I cannot imagine they are appropriate for all countries, certainly not the UK.
Not in Australia. You would have to check your bag.
This was so insanely specifically helpful. I leave for a 2 week Europe trip tomorrow and stumbled on your video while searching for hacks to make all my stuff fit carry on style and by some stroke of crazy kismet we have the exact same freaking luggage (like down to the cosmetics and electronics case). I’m about to go forth and pack my bags with confidence bc you fit much more than I’m planning on bringing and made the damn thing happen. Heck yes.
yay im glad it helped!! hope you have a fantastic trip!
You did good getting everything packed! I can't wait to see your f/up video. I hope you have an amazing time.
Yes will do!! I already have so much info i want to share!
Very helpful vlog - impressed with amount of things you were able to fit in those 2 bags 💼 Hope you had a great time in Greece🤩😎🌞🙏🤞
You’re actually bringing a ton of clothes! I thought you were going to pack light lol but were able to fit so much by rolling! that’s awesome.
The weekender mini weighs 3 lbs before you add things. I’m taking a 20 inch carry on & the Beis bag. I like how the Beis can fit under the seat. This was helpful especially with the tip that the Beis bag doesn’t slide under the isle seat! Leaving for Vienna in a few days. I have the same travel make up bag and it fits a lot!
Make sure to check your specific airlines size and weight restrictions. European airlines in general have small size and weight allowances. For example, I am flying Lufthansa to France soon, and they have very strict size and weight allowances. Carry on size is smaller than all of the carry on suitcases I owned, so I had to buy a new one. Plus the weight limit for carry on is only 8kg, which is 17.6 lbs. And the personal item allowance is TINY: 11.8” x 15.7” x 3.9” The weekender Beis is about 4 times the size allowance for a personal item on Lufthansa.
If you exceed the limits, you MAY slide by, but maybe not. Lufthansa has the reputation of being very strict. Other airlines may be more forgiving.
Thanks for this!! yes European standards are a lot smaller! None of the airlines ive been on have been that strict and have been okay with my bag but worse case scenario they’ll check your bag at the gate!
@@EliaEsparza1did you fly KLM/air france?
@@EliaEsparza1Hi, can you let us know what airlines you have travelled with this carry on? I’m worried about buying the carry on and having to check it in often.
@@Adileneee16I am currently at the airport flying with Air France in EU, just passed by security check. I am a regular AF flyer and if you plan to travel with both the BEIS carry on and weekender, you would end up checking the carry on each time. The BEIS weekender is not considered a personal item size: 15.7 x 11.8 x 5.8 in. is the authorised size with Air France. 19 x 9.8 x 15.7 is the BEIS weekender size.
Some of us end up on this channel because we are looking for solutions to pack without having to check in, if I may suggest something very kindly to Elia just for clarity: it would be worth clarifying that what is described in this video doesn’t allow to fly to Europe without checking in the carry on. All the best 😊
I will also add that when I checked in at San Francisco for my flight to France (stopping first in Germany) the airline agent was training a new employee and demonstrated how he must weigh all carry-ons. I was very glad I had weighed my rolling carry-on to make sure it was within limits, so I had no problem. I could only pack my small roller about 3/4 full because it hit 8kg quickly, and that was only with clothes and a pair of shoes, nothing really heavy.
So be warned Lufthansa is serious about size and weight restrictions.
Two other people in our group flew with United, and didn’t have any carry on luggage weighed. So it really depends on the airline.
I always have to remove a few items to make the carryon work---but it's amazing what you really end up using and what you can do without.
literally 8 seconds into the video and I already love you and subbed
Omg! Thank you bestie!
Wow, your packing skills are impressive! It's great to see how organized you are with your luggage. I'm definitely taking notes for my next trip. I love the idea of using packing cubes and how you rolled up your clothes to maximize space. The base carry-on luggage you have seems perfect for travel, especially with its expandable feature. Thanks for sharing the tip about the bagsmart cosmetic bag as well. It looks like a convenient way to keep all your toiletries and makeup organized. Wishing you an amazing trip to Greece! Safe travels and enjoy every moment! 🌍✈
Thanks for watching!! Yes packing cubes helped me stay organized and fit more items for sure!
As a mother of four children who travels 254 days out of each year, I just wanted to give this person a hug, and teach them how to really pack carry on. The toiletries bag was such a mess and only I could teach her the way.
I never understood why people don't use shoe covers when packing their shoes. Don't mean to sound disrespectful but it's very gross.
You cracked me up! I'm returning to Italy and France for three months and l use a carry-on. My tote has two bottom zipping compartments that l don't use until my flight home for gifts etc.
A girl after my own heart! "I love that it's pink!"
Great video! I am leaving to Europe next week and trying to fit everything into my small carry on haha
Wow this was so helpful! I’m going to make this happen for myself as well because I have a connecting flight! Thank you so much for sharing❤I noticed in the comments you said you didn’t have any issues with the liquids etc. That is amazing! I am so inspired☺️💖💖💖💗
You’re welcome!!! Yes girl I didn’t think I could do it but you def can! I highly recommend not checking a bag, our flights were a mess and we got rebooked so many times I was thankful I had my luggage with me
@@EliaEsparza1 that’s amazing! Thanks so much for the update!
A realistic clog we can all relate to. What size cubes did you use?
Yesss! Please Link the waters. Those are so cute! 😊
thank you!! Yes here you go: rstyle.me/+rX5-nQbLrN2gjtIa7ox6pQ
How did you get away with so many liquids in your carryon without them being in a quart size bag?
Also wondering this
Also wondering the same thing. All these packing videos do the same thing.
Thinking the same thing, there is no way that should get through TSA
Everything I brought was in 4ounces or less and haven’t had a problem going through security!
My thoughts exactly. I thought you were only allowed to stuff as much as you can into ONE quart sized bag with 3.4oz or less liquids/gels/creams. With that foldable toiletry bag, it was like several bags.
You should have packed the hair curler and flatter sandals in bottom along the handles then pack the cubes on top. No dead space.
This was incredibly helpful that I was in shock at how much you were able to fit! Dang!
I hope you had the best time! ❤
Thank you!! We did 🤍🤍
Quick tip… you can open the expand, then close the luggage, and then close the expand again and maybe you didn’t need to take stuff out, or not as much things. But so far this has been helpful
Thank you!!
Hi, What is the size of your expandable carry on?
Hope u have having a great time in Greece!
Thank you!!
I thought carryon had to weight no more than 17lbs
Can you link where you got the sun hat please?
Does rolling your clothes cause them to wrinkle more, do you have to do a lot of ironing ?
I plan to take a carry on for 10 days to Italy but will defiantly wash an outfit or two while on the trip. I realize from other trips that I never wear all my clothes but probably because I’m a minimalist and don’t worry too much about fashion when I travel.
I'm going to Italy too and plan on bringing travel detergent to wash my clothes in the sink :) Enjoy your trip!
Where is your 311 bag with your liquids separated?
HI. Did you do laundry while away? That is the only way I can underpack and be minimalisitc
we still have to use a quart size bag for liquids
I am so interested on the selfie stick Can you send me your link of that?
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing! One of my fav videos, along with amazon favs:) What do you put on your hair? so glittery and pretty.
Thank you so much for watching!! It’s actually tinsle!! This wonderful company called Braid Babes put it in my hair and it’s just a fun added touch 😍
Will the clothes not crease
Heels are your every day shoes???
Its compression packing cubes that you need
Girl i need that pink skirt!! Where is that from!?
What about the weight? Is it 7 kg? I will never take a carry on only.
Love an update of things you wish you didn’t bring on your trip.
you got it!!
Yes I’d love to know too. 2 weeks is perfect amount of time to be away. Things you didn’t use or need as well. Thank you
No tuviste problemas con el cosmetic bag el de las cremas y maquillaje? Por lo de TSA. Yo también tengo uno y no me e atrevido a llevarlo con migo por todas las cosas que le echo. Si ces este mensaje gracias si me puedes responder te lo agradecería 9:47
How is that size a carry on?!!!!
How do you get by TSA with your liquids not fitting in a quart size bag that you need to pull out and put in the bin? I haven’t been able to check a bag because my Ziploc quart bag won’t fit all my bare bones toiletries forget about cosmetics.
SO the only place I had to put my liquids in a bag was at the london heathrow airport and they provided bags! Other than that I had no issue about my toiletries or make up
This is very cute and some great ideas! But your carryon is way way over weight !
50 pounds is the checked luggage size for Europe (23 kilos) and the carryon is maximum 8 kilos (17 pounds) the weekender bag can be the weight for a laptop etc and camera.
So you would have to check your luggage with that weight. Or are you packing a carryon size but are going to put it as checked luggage?
Thank you
Do u pls have a link for the toiletry bag you ended up using/downsized to? (Didn’t see it in your Amazon links). Also, which packing cubes did u use? (There were a lot in your Amazon link). Thank you!!
Yes here is the toiletry bag! amzn.to/437HlG7
And here is the packing cubes: amzn.to/3XBC5tl
I didn’t see you pack your makeup bag?
Oooohh girl this video was making me sweat. 😅 Anxiety 💯.
😂😂😂
I have TSA so I typically don’t worry about liquids flying state side but how was it flying internationally?
As long as they’re in 4 ounce containers youre good!
I can't believe you crammed so much into those bags and they didn't weigh over 15kg!
Ella, would you have been better off with checked luggage? A larger case for all your things together??
Honestly no! From The airports, walking around the cities, getting into taxis, going carryon is the best option!
How do you expand your carry on without being forced to check it at the gate? If I expand mine they won't let me carry it on. I went to Guatemala and was stopped before boarding. I always first try to use my carry on but always give up and end using my larger bag 😂.
Then don’t expand it.
This was actually incredibly helpful to see what NOT to do and what to do. I think for sure, a pair of shoes have to go in the personal bag (maybe the biggest and heaviest). And maybe less clothes....so you like me, wear dresses - 1 big cube for dresses then 1 big cube for tops and bottoms. Then 2 smaller cubes for hats, swimwear...I'm going to SEA (southeast Asia) and they only let you with 7kg...as opposed to europe which is 15, infact here in europe they don't even weigh it. But BABE all those liquids?! you won't even be allowed....
Thanks!
I actually had no problems with the liquids through all the airports I went through and ended up wearing all the clothing and doing a little shopping with space to bring it back 👀 but yes could’ve probably taken a few less things!
Carry on in Europe is 8kg, some airlines allow 10.
If you want, you could show an outfit of the day in a full-length mirror holding your camera
Will do!
I subscribed so I can see what you ended up not needing!
Thank you for subscribing! I will be posting one soon! 🤍
That’s a lot of clothes for just 2 weeks whenever I travel for 2 weeks I pack 1 for the weather and I use the 5,4,3,2,1 method instead of the 3 shoes I do only two and minimal makeup and my flat iron for my hair is a must that’s the only thing I will have for as options 😂 and I always buy my travel toiletries when I get to my destination unless I already had them from previous travels
What can I say I love wearing cute outfits 🫶🏻 we all have our own methods!
Are you using the mini weekender or the beis regular weekender?
This is the mini!
Won't these 2 bags be just as heavy to carry around as a checked bag??
They might be! I just like having my luggage with me while traveling abroad, so many flight delays and rebookings, it helps if you can just have it with you
You need a voltage converter….. that adapter doesn’t covert the voltage….
These were carry-on? TSA let you pass security with all those liquids in your toiletry bag? They don't enforce the 3-1-1 rule anymore?
yes I travelled from dallas to london to madrid to greece and back.
Great video but don’t you guys keep space for purchases ?
I still had space for what I purchased ! But that’s a great idea to keep in mind
You needed compression cubes
Is there no weight limit for carry on?
They have a limit of 22kilograms on most European flights but mine never got weighed for carry on!
One rule I'm starting to learn is if I call it a "just in case" item, I try not to pack it. Just in case is usually = never and you can always buy it cheap if you REALLY need it.
cute belt bag...can you link the belt bag please
Yes of course! amzn.to/3NoP7Wa
I feel wird for not packing more in my carry on😂 in my toiletries, there is only 7 items with toothpaste and face cream as the only liquid 😅
Love the video! Didnt think you could fit so much in your carry on😂 but what if you buy some clothes/souvenirs there?
I did buy a few things and was able to squeeze everything in! Lol but yes maybe leave some space if you plan to buy a lot! Also because the suit case is expandable Im able to fit more if i need to
I hope I will get beis one day 🥺
Without ever watching you before, I am SO shocked on the amount of stuff that you packed that is already on my packing list. Even the exact color choices and the same BEIS set.
Oh wow!! Lol that’s so crazy! I love that we’re on the same page 🥹
It’s crazy! I’m going to Europe for 2 weeks as well at the end of the summer. I hope you had the best time!
Liquids rule? Luggage weight? Just curious.
Haven’t had any problems with the liquids as long as everything is in 4ounce or less! Luggage weight is a thing, mine is about 30 lbs and ive been able to still get on no problem, I havent had them weigh my luggage as a carry on, only if checking in!
Love from India 💐🇮🇳
you over packed
Can you link those water shoes please 🙏🏻
yes here they are! rstyle.me/+rX5-nQbLrN2gjtIa7ox6pQ
@@EliaEsparza1 thank you but they’re sold out in size 9 😢
Hi!!!! Bonito video.... Pero yo prefiero ir con equipaje de bodega de 23 kilos que llevar tanto bolso.... Saludos y besos mágicos.
Like others, I want to know what you didn't use, cuz that looked like a lot to pack in a carry-on for two weeks. And are you the one lifting that into the overhead bin each time? I am an over-packer and have a tendency to bring way more than I need. But I've managed to remove excessive clothing, accessories, etc compared to how I used to pack in the past. And I check my bag. Also, what did TSA in the States and abroad have to say about the liquids in a non-compliant toiletry bag? Have a good trip!
Just got back and will be doing a follow up video soon! 🤍 yes I was the One lifting it into the overhead, but I do lift weights regularly so it wasn’t too difficult. But that’s awesome you’ve been able to remove the non essentials! I’ll share my experience soon! Thanks for watching 🫶🏻🤍
😘🍄
Are you joking? Is it a parody of how not to pack?
How to you pack?
Rolling sloppy, NO covers on the bottom of your shoes=gross (shower caps work great) just to name 2 big mistakes.
@@dellestelle definitely with much more care. You proudly show us how you can fill up your suitcase just piling up everything and pushing your stuff whatever it takes. I want to put on those clothes when I arrive.
There is stuff for a whole year! 😂
@@garma53 okay
I really find it hard to believe that all those liquids were allowed and you didn’t have to check the bag. Even with TSA pre check there is no way the amount you had, you were able to carry it onto the plane.
Well.. made it through my whole trip without checking it in until the end because I wanted to. Most airports didn’t make me take out my cosmetics 🤷🏼♀️
I have the same bag I use for my toiletries. I put a lot of stuff in it and have never had issues.
@@DeeTee85Did you travel internationally?
@@anne-marie896 yes ma’am, traveled to Jamaica and Canada this year.
The way all your clothes are the same colour lol
i think if you folded your clothes instead of rolling it would have been easier to close . sorry that your bag ripped.
I wish you had shown your outfits.
Ill do a whole video of what I wore! Also posted a ton on my IG with links
I’m sorry why don’t people put their shoes in backs. Do you know how nasty you shoes are and your just putting them in your suitcase like that🤢🤢
You definitely overpacked a lot...
This seems miserable. Why not just bring a checked in bag of appropriate size
It’s a lot easier to have a carry on when you’re going from country to country and you’re less likely to have the airline lose your bag. Not to mention when you’re walking around the city - anything bigger would be miserable to haul around.
@@EliaEsparza1 do you often walk around the city with your luggage? In all my years of flying my luggage was misplaced once and returned 3 days later. I always check my bag and enjoy being free at the airport
See!! All of that work in strategizing blah blah is just not worth the few nickel's one will save in checking in a bag. My credit card travel perks + travel insurance, alllll give me peace-of-mind if something were to get lost or damaged. This is also why I take any irreplaceable and valuable items with me, in a (separate) carry-on bag. All problems solved and thwarted :) lol Also, what happens if you want to go shopping, then what? I do love some of the gadgets though :)
Trust me, this bag is a steal at this price #luxurydiscountcompany
