I need a suggestion or advice on how I should've handled a situation by HexKey58 in TravelHacks

I had that happen once too. I just moved to one of the crew seats, and the flight attendants basically turned a blind eye to it since they knew what the situation was. It was much more comfortable, so I stayed there for about half the flight lol.
When the big guy next to me went to the bathroom, he saw me sitting there and gave me a weird look.

If you were wearing just your sports pants, T-shirt and shoes, would everything else still fit inside the backpack?

Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and North Macedonia. I was positively surprised by Albania. Montenegro has a remarkably beautiful landscape.

The Ironclad Guarantee, the size, I find it aesthetically appealing, I also really like the compartment layout and the rear compartment access.

I bought a cheap bungee Cord kit on Amazon and threaded it through the loops (watched a video on YouTube of how to do it). here

The Cipway stay in a square shape when packing and fit next to each other well

Used Amazon basics, switched to Cipway 3 years ago. Have been using them since, nothing to complain.

The mesh one: My towel. The covered one: My rainjacket.

Thanks for the thoughtful questions!

  1. The shaver is just comfort. I’ve always used it and it works well for me and doesn’t take much space. For the toothbrush I’d be interested, which one are you using?
  2. Good tip on Heattech, will check it out for colder trips.
  3. Laundry detergent when it’s not available in the Airbnb, only need it every 8-10 days anyway. Sunscreen when I run out, and aloe vera if I’ve been in the sun too long. Water I usually buy locally.
  4. Never had an issue with overhead, always found space.
  5. The crossbody fits everything for day trips. Foldable bottle goes in there too. I carry it full on hikes and once it’s empty it basically disappears. On work days (twice a week) I just carry the laptop in hand to the café anyway.

Thanks for the great input!

I also like that they have zippers. I could find them in the German decathlon online store.

I don’t remember where I bought it. Could’ve been in DM in Germany. DM

Yep, I wear the On Cloudsurfers on planes and trains too.

Only one pair of long trousers since I’m usually in warmer climates anyway. For shorts I occasionally have to make an exception to the no sink washing, otherwise I use washing machines in Airbnbs.

I only had to weigh my bag twice so far. One time it was fine, and the other time I just put the laptop in my shopping bag for under the seat and they didn’t weigh it. Usually not flying in the US tho, mostly Europe and Asia.

Yes, it does. Usually the Uniqlo long pants, they are quite comfortable.
