ADVERTISING
As content creation is our business and how we earn our living you will see advertising in our content from time to time in different forms:
We are very selective about what brands we work with on paid/sponsored content creation and as a rule we don't work with any brand that we don't already or wouldn't spend our own money on. We are incredibly proud of all our brand partnership content and it will always be disclaimed in the most transparent way possible so you know exactly what is with 'AD' on screen and in the description box. If the entire video is an 'AD' this will be in the title of the video.
Because we don't work with a large amount of brands on sponsored content we do rely on our CZcams ad revenue. Any adverts you watch during the duration of our videos will earn us a small percentage of 'ad revenue' from CZcams and we really appreciate you watching the adverts in full (and not skipping them), but only if and when you can. We also know that time is precious so no pressure.
We also use 'Affiliate Links' in the description boxes below our videos and if you make a purchase via these links we will earn a small percentage of commission depending on the sale amount. Not all links are affiliate links but just assume they are.
Any items/links marked with '[AD - Pr products]' are products which have been 'gifted' from the respective brands without a contract for sponsored content. This is still classed as a form of advertising because nothing is ever "free", brands are gaining exposure to our audience by us featuring them, so these items are marked as 'AD-Pr product' in the description box but we are under no obligation to feature these items. And as with our paid content, we never accept gifting/pr products from brands that we don't already or wouldn't spend our money on. If we have received a press discount on anything featured this will also be disclaimed.

I am an American expat in Stockholm and we long-haul fly A LOT! I always travel with an “Airfly”…it’s a bluetooth transmitter that allows you to wirelessly use your good headphones or AirPods with a device that has an auxiliary port. You can also get a duo where you and your flying companion can watch something together. It’s a fantastic little device! Love your videos! Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
Oooooooh that's nifty! Thank you for sharing that tidbit! ❤
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼Do you have a link for that?!
We've travelled a lot over the past couple of years - Europe, US, Canada - and never had an empty water bottle confiscated. We always have it in our carry on with the top off so it's clearly empty. There's no restriction on any water bottle size you can buy once you're through security - and then take on the plane - so there's no need for them to take an empty receptacle off you.
Then we fill it at the free water fountain in the airport and take it on the plane with us - no unnecessary plastic bottle purchased!
Great video Emma! Thank you…if I may, I have a couple of extra points just in case anyone would like them . (Ive been a flight attendant for over 30 years trans atlantic and trans pacific routes plus lots of personal travel long haul) The lithium batteries go in your hand luggage in the US and most countries I’m familiar with and there is a size limit. Since they are the cause of fires and malfunctions, the procedures have become more strict, so check with the airline you’re traveling on for limitations. It’s very useful to carry a pair of those very flat, thin slippers you get in hotels to slip on in case you need to use the lavs. They don’t take up much room and you can stay comfy with your shoes put away for the flight. A mask is always handy just in case, disinfecting wipes are better than gels since they add to your max liquid allowance of about one liter which is why the silly sandwich bags. If all your liquids fit into that little bag, you are good. These wipes are also great for wiping down your tray table, arm rests or touchscreen. The filthiest part of your surrounding area is the seat back pocket (all sorts of things go there so I will spare the details). It’s a great idea to not use that at all even for a magazine or book for later. Comfy clothes that aren’t too light colored (think spills or mishaps) and breathable are a must. I’d add that clothing that isn’t revealing is a big plus so if you reach for something in the overhead, you’re not revealing more than planned and now some dude nearby is going to give you the creepy vibe for the next 10+ hrs (I’ve seen everything). Keep anything important or valuable in your carry on bags and a luggage tag that isn’t too fancy or expensive is a great idea. Most luggage tags don’t last long and get ripped off, so best to not be too attached to one. The AirTags are a wonderful idea and I use them, BUT they do not update location to the minute or sometimes even an hour so, if your AirTag says your luggage is ‘left behind’ and you’re taking off, then it doesn’t update since there’s no signal, don’t despair for the next 10+hrs.it simply didn’t update. It’s kind of scary if it shows your iPad is still in your hotel and now you’re airborn or your luggage is still at the airport. Having your own snacks/food and drink is a great idea so you dont rely on the airline in case you have dietary needs. A bag or two of your favorite tea is really nice and getting a hot cup of water is never a problem. Do stay clear of any sleep meds especially ones you haven’t had a lot of experience with (too many times passengers take them and wake up wondering why theyre in handcuffs). So give any of those meds a proper at home trial before proceeding to using them in flight. If you use your credit or debit card overseas, be aware if your bank charges you foreign transaction fees. You can cut down on unnecessary charges by using an ATM (preferably a well known bank one that is not directly on the street) and not opting for your currency when asked on credit card charges. The additional fee for them exchanging to your currency is always a loss for you. Definitely agree on being aware of any phone charges and using wifi instead or inquiring with your provider beforehand. I use Skype or WhatsApp for voice calls since my plan includes data in other countries for a small fee, but every service provider varies. Again, fantastic video and so helpful, I enjoy all of your content so keep up the great work 😊
This was an awesome comment, thank you so much!
Me again. Best long haul flight we ever took, from Vancouver to Sydney Australia. Killer flight. But Quantas gave out a trip planner when we took off which laid out the whole flight, when first snack would be offered, when dinner was served, when we should try to sleep, and when breakfast would be served. This really appealed to two teachers. 😀 And now I do this if we’re flying for over six hours. My husband says I’m planning the lesson. 😀 But it’s great for breaking up the long hours of a long flight into bite-sized pieces.
Thank you for this video Emma and also mentioning you have anxiety and ADHD, so many people have these conditions and it helps to raise awareness and also to feel you're not alone x
I also don’t travel in lace up shoes. I usually wear Birkenstock Boston clogs. Easy to take off going through security, and I can take them off on the plane. Even if I keep them on, they are loose and my feet feel free to breath and free of swelling at altitude.
I've got anxiety and OCD and fly to Orlando for business a lot. A few tips: Noise-canceling headphones, single packets of disinfecting wipes, and a top, sweater, or scarf that's soothing to touch. Swap your rollerbag carry-on for a duffel or backpack, if possible; there is never space. I find Orlando particularly hard because there are many little ones and big family groups -- no shade to those travelers, just a LOT for someone with OCD!
I used to travel transatlantic once a month for work. I usually changed into sweatpants (cashmere ones from H&M, looooove them and not too precious) on the plane or just before boarding. And I never wore light colours as I 100% would spill. Always had a nice big cashmere scarf accessible too.
I travelled from Scandinavia to LA over Christmas and new years and I have comments and additions to all points of this video basically 😂 But main point that caused me issues is airport security and liquid allowance. I had exactly the same plastic pouch as Emma for liquids that I have used many times before without any issues. This time I was forced to move my stuff over to the little “sandwich bag” which meant I had to throw away things that wouldn’t fit! So just to be safe, make sure whatever you pack in there will also fit in the airport bags. Worst start to a trip ever 😢 When I got over this fiasco I had a looovely holiday 😎
Recommend Wise bank card for traveling. It has all the features the Emma talked about with her option as well, and it saved me so much on not having to pay the added fee on the exchange rate for every purchase in USD! 👏
Have a great trip Emma!
I was going to make the same comment. There are several airports where they do that, as you are not supposed to exceed one litre in total. So even if you have a TSA-approved clear case/pouch (like I do) and nothing is over 100 ml, they can still tell you to transfer everything to that flimsy bag and remove what doesn’t fit - which actually means that you can have less than a litre, but whatever. To be on the safe side, I check that everything fits into the stupid sandwich bag and have it inside my nice travel case, just to be prepared. It drives me mental.
had exactly the same experience in Singapore
I have experience that every airport has different rules...always trying to make you miserable 😊
I've had the same, always just use one of the sandwich style bags now
This is really helpful . One thing I do is take a thin puffer that can be rolled up and placed in its bag . Everywhere from Primark to Uniqlo sell them and it means I don’t have to worry about putting it in the overhead locker as it goes in my hand luggage
I do that as well especially when travelling cold to hot and back. 😊
and I use it as a pillow when in its bag ;D
I LOVE packing cubes, I use pouches as well. Everything goes into a cube/pouch. Keeps me organised….. also if security decide to search your stuff it’s tidier than pulling everything out.
Yay a longer video! What a treat! Thanks Emma for your effort, not going anywhere anytime soon but it's still good to note down your tips for when needed. Emma covered it all pretty much, but my personal tips would be:
- Make a list of what you're packing. Beforehand (by like several days), I make a list of what I want to pack breaking it into categories of "underwear", "loungewear", "going out clothes", "toiletries"...etc. That way I can leisurely plan what to take with me. Also, when I do come to pack I just follow the list and don't worry about thinking too hard or worry about forgetting something (makes packing much quicker too). It also helps to take stock so you don't forget to bring any of your belongings back home with you. Also avoids surprises like if there's an item you wanted to take but is in the laundry etc.
- power bank! I have the same brand that Emma mentioned, but it's a game changer. It really stores a lot of juice and quick charges our appliances.
- I've learnt this from a previous travel video from Emma, but I have dedicated travel outfits that I reserve just for travel. Mostly sweat suits or jogger and sweater combo.
And finally, don't sweat it! As long as you have your documentation and valuables secured, even if you forget to pack any specific toiletries or whatever... you can always buy whatever you forgot at your destination, it's not ideal...but not the end of the world!
Otherwise, Emma's done a brilliant job at covering all bases and I've learnt some new tricks that I'm excited to try out myself! ❤
Thanks, Emma, they were such useful tips. That’s a genius idea of doing a Boots click and collect for after airport security. I’d never have thought of doing that.
Should always wear compression socks and take an asprin before travel....earplanes are good if you suffer from equalising pressure. ❤
I saw a guy in an airport once who had a large sticker on his suitcase that said "This Is Not Yours". I thought that was kind of clever.
Hi Emma, thank you for this thorough video! I truly appreciated your angle of "take the maximum amount of suitcases" since I feel like everyone these days is all about minimal packing, carry-on only, etc. I really don't get how they make it work for anything longer than just a few days. Those of us that like to be extra prepared and have our nice things are judged harshly 😂
For our last long haul trip from Canada to Portugal, we purchased, on recommendation from a friend, a portable charger. Then we charge it, and I can charge my phone, iPad, and my husband’s iPad before it needs to be charged. This helped because we were delayed over three hours enroute, and could read and listen without having to find an outlet. Plus some of the accommodation we stayed in over the months we were away had fewer accessible plugs to charge, and one of our converter plugs kept falling out of the outlet. This really simplified things. Oops. Added this before I saw you already mentioned it.
Biggest tip…I have security screens on my phone and tablet. They are removable and just pop on. I fly a lot and got so tired of people watching movies over my shoulder, reading my texts. people don’t even realize sometimes they’re doing it. Amazon!
I once got stopped at UK security using one of those zip bags and had to empty it all out! as it didn't have the plane logo on it. So if you are buying one just for flying do make sure it has that on just in case!!
Happy travels, Emma and Simon!!! Enjoy the Magic Kingdom.🧡
So right about stand out of your luggage. If you have popular brand suitcase it is often that there are several literally the same suitcases on the line. I am neutral colour devouter but I always opt for unusal colour luggage which will be unique on the line. The current one is in fucsia colour.
Mine is canary yellow!
Somehow I'm always freezing on a long haul flight 🥶. A beanie is therefor key for me ☺
Have a super holiday. The excitement for you trip is coming through.
Fantastic in depth video Emma - and very timely. Thankyou! ✨😀
I don’t do any long haul traveling ( road trip or plane) in a hoodie. The hood itself bugs the heck out of me! It makes me hot, it’s too bulky with seat belts, and gets in the way of a travel pillow, and I don’t like it up against headrests. I do like comfortable clothing in layers, that are easy to take on and off.
I"ve just ordored the mini box for medecines !
Thank you so much Emma❤
Thanks a lot, Emma! This video is very helpful and comes to the right time. My next long trip will be in march to Bali and you mentioned very useful tips. ❤
Love watching your videos, very inspiring ❤
This was interesting. I am a notoriously light packer. I have always gotten away with a personal bag and carry on. I only wish I was this minimal in my everyday life...lol
OMGthe tip about medication is so smart!! myself and my husband need to take important medication on a daily basis and it goes always stored on the lugagge that goes inside the
plane 😮😮😮. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱Never ever we thought about lost lugagge. Never happened. But from now on ...... Oh Emma 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 it will go with us. Such helpfull tips. Such a pleasure listening to you. You are very organized....and i thought i was 😅😅😅😅
I purchased some rainbow colored heavy duty tape. I attach pieces to the side of my luggage and the handles so they stand out. Makes it easier to know which bag is mine from a distance.
I’m not going anywhere anytime soon but I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Really great advice for the next time I fly, thank you. Have a wonderful holiday ✈️💗
Wishing you a beautiful trip to Disney Emma❤
Love your videos because you are practical, basic, and helpful for everyday living in a normal world. I a big thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Emma, loved it all from packing cubes to Monzo…thank you so much for all the tips. Uhhh so inspiring to pack my bags and to look what’s out there. I wish you a fun and wonderful time. Have a blast at Disney land and say hi to Pluto one of my favs.
✈️☁️☀️
Perfection, as always! My next trip is a short trip to London (from Belgium) but still finding all these tips very useful 😉
Once again…sooooooooo thorough!! Saving this obviously!! Thank you so much! 👏👏👏👏👏👏😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great information!! Really enjoyed! Thanks!👍👍🇨🇦
What a really great helpful and clear video thankyou so much ,❤❤
Comfy jeans can be just as good for a long flight but then they wont be looking very good as they need to be so comfy. Then I don’t ever wear a hoody or something that needs to be taken off over you head. The hoody gets uncomfotable and to be more flexible I will make sure that the sweater has a zipper all the way if I do need to take it off. But jeans YES! The right kind no problem!
💯 with you Emma on tracksuit and comfort for travel,I always go for my hoodie and loose shorts so I can be free! 👌🏻
Now I want to go on vacation 😊
To give it a more dressed up vibes without loosing even a tiny bit of comfort
●Having a dark navy , dark brown .. having 1 sweatpants in a design that mimiques the balloon jeans
•just above ankle
•elasticated seem at ankle
Or a wide leg sweatpants but with a rubberband you diy it at the back of the joggers (by making a "ponytail" that you then flip to the inside (inspired by/from TIBI sweatpants)
● a flat shoe instead of sneakers maybe like a loafer or a derbies ( example/inspiration from G.H.BaSS the Weejuns Mary Janes Black Pull Up ) in a dark brown or black with socks that have a bit of a slouchy vibe
●& instead of the matching hoodie or jumper go for a light merinowool one in a dark navy
Those are 3 different options without loosing the element of comfort what so ever.
You can do all 3 in 1 look or
1 of the 3
✌🏻❄️
I used Monzo when I travelled from UK to New York and it was so easy. You’ll love it. Great for European travel as well !
Really helpful tips, lovely listening to you😊
This is a really useful video, many thanks ❤
First, I appreciate your comment about airplane travel doesn’t have to be a fashion show. I’m not going to go on about this but at 64 I feel fashion has become a little too styled. Secondly, I think I missed the clear storage bag links. They would be perfect for my day to day bag. Thank you
Thanks for this video! Emma, I would love if you did one like this specifically for Disney please! I know how much you love Disney! We just got back from Disney World followed by a 7 day cruise on the Disney Fantasy and I’ve officially gone down the Disney rabbit hole! I fell in love with it. We will go back for sure. Would love your thoughts on packing etc for travel for Disney, as well as your Disney clothing and accessories must haves! Thanks! ❤😊
I’m not a fan of cruises but the Disney cruise was an exception. Very well done!
Fresh is the key!!!
I like you Emma, you are right up my alley in terms of personality, fashion and home decor
i always use backpack as my bag. and also travelling economy ryanair so i dont have much luggage. i take all my heaviest things in a backpack and practically only clothes in a carry on
Thank you for the video! Careful with lithium batteries! they can never go into your checked luggage. Point being, when they catch fire the crew will be able to kill the fire - not so much if its in the belly of the plane.
Great tips Emma 👍🏖️✈️
Thank you going on holiday next week to morroco love been comfy on plane 🛫🛫🛫
Good info. Thanks. I’m traveling from US to Ireland this year. I’ll probably use my regular credit card as I have done in the past and haven’t had too much trouble with fees but will check before I go. Also, I heard another travel CZcamsr suggest to get cash at your destination and not too much, in case it gets stolen. Also, don’t go to a street ATM as they have higher fees, but go to a bank. Good information about travel clothes. Comfort is King, or Queen in my case. Lately the last few flights I was on I was warm, so definitely layers.
Emma id be in my pjs if I thought I’d get away with it 😂
Hi Emma, thank you for this. Though it is for a long flight, however, I think these tips will work on a really long train journeys as well. Here in India, we tend to have long train journeys and most of your tips can be adapted or tweaked for Indian train trips 😊Thank you for this.
Love the content and remember “keep it fresh” 😂
Great video Emma, as always, I am very similar to you.I wanted to ask as I have anxiety especially when I travel any tips about that?🥰🥰
Hi Emma. My DIY & fashion Queen. ❤.
which brand is the puffer jacket？ Looks pretty
Revolut also good on exchange rate and also a limited amount of cash from atms
Hiya!-Thanks. that's amazing video-work, see you soon!
Absolutely loved this video……I absolute love packing for the plane as much as the actual holiday. I want all of my pampering treats and magazines. I have been lucky enough to fly business a few times and flew first once to New York. For first I did the whole smart blazer and jeans and yes you feel great but in reality you really just want to be in your comfy’s!!!! I was straight in the pjs provided xx
Emma, didn't know you have ADHD and anxiety. I have ADHD and severe anxiety too. Nice to see it mentioned ❤
any tips you can share?
@@user-fh2in4mu2j Tbh not really, it seems to get worse the older I get and I have developed debilitating health anxiety. The best thing to do is to get a good psychiatrist. I'm on meds these days and they help the ADHD. Get yourself a good therapist and psychiatrist ❤️
You can also take a power pack for phone etc.
Finally a UK travel vlog 🎊 🎉
Emma I can highly recommend getting a Currensea card - it's linked to your own bank account, so no need to open a new bank account. It can be used all over the world - I used it in the US and Canada last year - and you can withdraw cash free of charge with it, as well as using it as a debit card. Even better, it always gives you the best exchange rate at the time of purchase and at the end of your holiday will tell you how much you've saved - so in New York for 4 days in December I saved just over £50!
Friends and family have got one on my recommndation and all found it great. :)
,okay, I neednto know about the carpet? 😂
Also Emma do you have a travel hairdryer you recommend?😍🥰😘
Hello , can you please name which style of American Tourister is your big luggage ? thank you ❤
If I’m not using roaming, I will turn it off before I take off so I don’t forget as it won’t affect my use of the phone in the uk.
If I am using roaming, I will reset my data counters.
What sizes did you get please in the tracksuits ?
Hey emma! Could you update the link to your tan leather bag? I think you may have inserted the wrong link. Love this video btw!
Cool
Hi! What is the exact brand of your pillow please? I click on the link but re-directs me to a general Amazon page. Many thanks!
Emma, thanks for sharing all these. The link for the tan leather bag is the same cashmere one. I really like the bag. Can you tell me the brand or give me the link? Thanks.
She mentions it is the brand Tod’s.
❤❤
What happens to the dogs when you go away on holiday ?
Hola desde uruguay 🇺🇾 saludos ❤
Tan leather bag link is not correct 🙏🏼
👌👌👌
Other way round - lithium batteries should not go in your checked bags, always in your carry on
I long haul a lot. Store your coat in a bag in the overhead locker. Same for your handbag and anything else. Do not take your shoes off...but if you do store in a bag as well. ❤
Do you use a mask? I picked up covid on my way to Iceland last year 😷
Remember a mask will not protect you - we only wear masks to prtoect others when we think we may have something transmissable. A fact that many people seem to forget! Wash your hands often - thos gels don't always kill viruses, especially Covid.
I just had a Mandela effect 😮I thought you had kids in fact two ✌️ 😅or maybe you mean they grown.
New friend here sending may full support.#uzbagx
I use Chase UK for the US - I get the Mastercard daily rate when making purchases and then cash withdrawals are free
And I get 1% cash back on purchases and 4.1% on my savings account
No my comment is gone bc I mentioned 2 brands for inspiration 😕🥹
