I'd love tips on pucs
Tuna wax candle on the zippers to makes them open more smoothly.
Right when you took it out of the plastic, I wasn't feeling the shape with the wheels. Seems bulky. 😂
Instead of Clorox wipes, I travel with my Norwex travel size envirocloth. The super dense microfiber removes bacteria from surfaces with water 🤯 & has helped me stay well when traveling!
Great video. Do you know if we can take our snacks in a freezable lunch box? Brand: PackIt.
Wearing a mask on a plane will always be part of my plan in addition to wiping my area.
Do baby food pouches count as liquids?
I have a bag from Samsonite that is very similar to this bag. I don't think it's quite as large as it does fit easily under the seat. That said, I have a love-hate relationship with it.
I have too many purse items to use something like that bag. It seems unforgiving in expanding like a backpack. I have glass case, bose cancelling headphones, wallet and small pouch. Thanks for the review though.
Oh! I do love your milkglass!
When I wear H Q D U P S fakes or replicas, I just wear them with pride, knowing I didn’t spend unnecessary cash and I can look good while being able to proudly feed my family. As for the designer brand owners, they have enough. There’s no need to support them.
Great review! But, Girl! What jeans are you wearing?! So cute!! 😍
I have the previous version of this bag (same size) and use it as my only bag for 3 day trips. I use my Verage 14-in compact on Jetblue, and used it once on Southwest. No problems getting the bag under the window seat, though it does take a little maneuvering to push it in and under, but I've been able to do it without problems, and also reach my things inside without issue. I put my laptop in the seat pocket in front of me and also my small water bottle. I can't lift a regular carry-on bag overhead as I'm too short at 5'0", and they are simply too heavy, so under the seat roller is what I need. My carry-on roller bag that I've had (22" x 14" x 9") from the 1980s (Andiamo softside) is so heavy for me at 9 lbs empty, that I actually have to check that bag if I use it.
Really appreciate this review as I was considering a similar bag. For now I will stick with my trusty rolling backpack as a personal item.
Is good for health but your back pack is better and more practical.
The bag featured is the 14 plus bag. I have an earlier version of this bag. I'm not a fan of it either. It's even smaller and honestly, I can get more in a backpack. Thank you for verifying what I've always felt about this bag.
I’ve had a shoulder injury and I get around getting the backpack on by holding it over my head with the good arm so the not-so-good arm can get settled in the strap first.
Is your daughter Lauren from “It’s the Kellys”?
Although I think Lauren is adorable and I would be proud to call her my daughter, she is not 😊. We just met and got to know each other at the TravelCon conference in Portland. After the conference I spent time with my daughter, not shown in the video... sorry for the confusion!
Love your videos. I’m glad you reviewed this type of bag. I bought a Travelon “under seat” bag for a trip on Southwest Airlines flight. Loved the bag but it did not fit under the window seat. I returned yesterday from a trip. Used my new Loveook backpack. It was wonderful! I too have a shoulder injury but I had no pain since the straps are very adjustable.
I use a roller underseat bag bc, while I pack light, I can’t carry a backpack as my only bag. (Old rotator cuff injury.)
That's the issue I'm dealing with too 😢. So far I've managed to keep it flexible enough to get a backpack on and off, but I'm sure at some point it's not going to be so easy!
If there is a roller bag that works as an personal item that will fit under the center UNited seat and for International travel, I would love to know about it! I too have the shoulder issues, but am still using the Loveook backpack in spite of the pain!
I will never fly frontier again.
I have one mine is a samsonite . I use it and my carryon size for vacations I drive to For flying I stick with the carryon and my Lovevook backpack Thanks for the video because I was wondering if it would fit under the seat and was not brave enough to try it like you!😆
Samantha Browns under seat roller bag works. I could tell the minute you unpacked this bag that the wheels were not designed for an under seat carry on. She goes into depth on this issue. As a senior traveler, I can no longer carry backpacks, tote bags etc., so having a roller bag specifically designed to fit under all airline seats is an essential part of travel. Don’t give up!
Unfortunately, with this bag it was more an issue of being able to maneuver it to get under the seat that was the issue. With so much structure, I couldn't get a good angle on it to slide under the seat. I'll definitely try some others out in the future!
I love your style and videos! I think all your outfits are awesome and I like the leggings. I do a ton of travel for work and dress business casual so the colored jeans and jacket work for me. I’m going to implement these colors in the future. Thanks for bringing us these videos! 🩷
I have to agree with you about Clorox wipes. Using them is certainly better than not using them. Same as you, I always get sick 🤧 when I’ve not wiped down my airplane space. Thus, the Clorox wipes go with me on every flight. ✈️
Very useful video, Angela. Thanks
I really appreciated watching you go through the process of figuring out how to pack the bag and then coming back later to tell us the results. A real review that gave us real-time information. I cannot easily use a heavy backpack any longer and wondered if a personal item back with wheels would be an option. As you were filling, I knew that bag wouldn’t work for me. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
I’m not surprised it didn’t work for you as a personal item. Nothing really fits under the seat in front of you despite bags being sold as having the required dimensions. I think that bag would really only work as a carry on for very short trips (like a weekend) if you also bring a backpack. I have the same backpack you have (in blue) and I also have a gorgeous monos backpack and I have to say the amazon one fits more and is much more practical. I just wanted the beautiful lavender colored monos one because - I wanted it!!
Hi. Hope you are doing well. I got a question. Can i have this kind of personal item and my carry on luggage in the plane?!
Yes, as long as they fit the dimensions the airline has required. I actually gate checked my "larger (20")" carry on when they requested volunteers to check their bags, but I could have brought both on the plane. But because it wouldn't actually fit under the seat, even though it meets the size requirements, it would have meant both of my bags would have been in the overhead bin. If you have a roller normal carry on size bag you are traveling with, and you don't plan to gate check it, there isn't really any reason to have another wheeled bag with you. Most travel bags, backpacks, totes have a sleeve that allows you to slide them on the handle of your carry on suitcase so you don't have to carry it around the airport on your back or shoulders.
@@GenxGypsy1968 thanks so much. I try my wheels personal item and I decide to go with my backpack. I highly recommend try the Biaggi backpack super nice. Love yours videos 💜☮️
I bought a bag similar and it barely fit under the seat. I used it once . Waste of 💴💴💴. Thank you for your honest review.
Actually Covid, with its new variants, are still very much a thing (as hospital data shows a 30% uptick in serious cases right now in June), so hand washing and wearing an effective well fitting respirator mask are very important. Too many of my traveling friends are starting vacations or coming home very sick.
Absolutely agree, and did not mean to down play the very real risks of still contracting Covid. Was more implying that its not a "thing" that main stream media is talking about. 😊
Great video as always! I will stick to my beloved backpack! Blessings!
I didn't like that style either. Didn't fit as much as my usual carry on.
I will be flying across the country (USA) this summer, and I will definitely follow your advice about packing the large zip-lock bag for my in-flight essentials! I’ve already purchased 2 sets of those zip-lock bags that you recommended! And I love the tip about putting the zip-lock into a plastic grocery bag, to keep the germs and grime off of it! It makes a lot of sense! 😊
So glad it was helpful, hope you have a fabulous trip 😊
At the end, when you said that you HATED the bag, my jaw actually dropped! I wasn’t expecting to hear that! 🤣
You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince,but trying different and new luggage and goodies is getting expensive.
I am flying home in two days and my wipes are ready to go! On my flight here, I ScruBBed a couple of grimy areas on my tray and hand rest. No one will convince me that wiping down my seat area is unnecessary! I appreciate the cleaning crews but they can’t possibly clean everything in the time allowed.
Right?!! I'm even wiping down the wall by the window (since I usually sit in a window seat) because I might lean my head against it during the flight. Anything I might touch at all!!
I really appreciate you looking into a roller personal item bag because I'm dealing with shoulder issues, too, that make my lifelong ease of backpacks less comfortable. Too bad this wasn't the winner, and that you had to deal with it for such a long trip cross-country.
Was wondering if you could link the dress for me please! And Beis has a new under seat personal item suitcase that fits under the seat.
Yes, I want to check that one out! Lauren from It's the Kelly's was going to do a review on it, and I waiting to see what she thinks 😊. Here's the link for the dress: amzn.to/4b1Nok8
@@GenxGypsy1968 Thank you for your prompt reply!
Thx for showcasing a bag that is similar size to my Delsey underseat bag. The only bag I take on all overseas holidays. It forces me to pack minimally. My destination bag fits inside. A few more outside pockets for easy to reach items.
Awesome 👏 video about carry ons
I have that bag and have used it as a carryon for a cruise (drove to the port) and for several weekend trips. I have been happy with it so far. I haven’t used it as an underseat bag yet so we'll see if I decide to use it for my flight to Seattle for an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for the honest review.
Thanks for doing the testing for the rest of us. Noted!
Thanks for giving us your honest opinion! It really didn’t look that practical for me, so I suppose I’ll stick with my trusty backpack.
Thank you for the video. I am traveling to NYC/New England/Canada in August and I will be flying into NYC from Tallahassee, Florida and your video about what should go into the checked bag and what should be in my personal bag is VERY HELPFUL.
What a fun trip!! Glad it was helpful 😊
From woman to woman go make an appointment with a professional for a bra fitting. Many women are wearing the wrong size and your bra you are wearing with the green top looks very uncomfortable. I was fitted and she moved me up a whole cup size which surprised me as I am usually an A cup.
I hope you know her, otherwise this is quite personal.
@@AnneMB955personal AND rude, IMO
OMG keep your opinions on undergarments to yourself
Why don't you try Samatha Brown luggage.
Why take two spinner bags
I wouldn't normally, this was just to test this particular bag out. I think an underseat roller bag is most useful for people who are checking the rest of their luggage (not doing carry on only) and have back, shoulder or other mobility issues. 😊
Thank you I sm glad you confirmed what i had envisioned when you were originally packing it! Love your channel!
Yay! Thank you! 😊
I use the KROSER Carry On Underseat Multi-functional, 16-inch Underseater Lightweight Overnight Suitcase for Men Women. I have used it for about a year. It seems thinner than yours. I have like having the roller feature due to the stress of a duffel or a back pack can have on my shoulders. I like this particular roller bag. It has lots of pockets for my stuff. I even had it in Underseat on united which is notorious for smaller Underseat space.
I'll look that one up, thanks for sharing!! 😊
I just bought a similar bag today, but I will be using it as my carry-on, with a zippered tote as my personal item bag. Hope it works out that way. By the way, I love your milk glass collection!
Thank you 😊
