5 Essential Travel Tips & Tricks from Laurie
5 Travel Tips and Hacks by Laurie. A few years back, I discovered Laurie’s Instagram, @traveltipsbylaurie, and began following her. Since her husband flies for a major airline, and with her background as both a flight attendant and a pilot before becoming a travel blogger, I was instantly drawn to her practical, often funny travel advice. I reached out to see if she’d like to share a guest post for my audience, and she agreed. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or only jet-set occasionally, you’ll find 5 Travel Tips and Hacks by Laurie both useful and entertaining.
DISCOVER LAURIE’S ESSENTIAL TRAVEL ADVICE AND INSIDER TRICKS
Hey there, fellow travelers! These handy tips will make your flight smoother and enhance your holiday experience.
Travel Tip Number 1:
When flying on an airplane, always open coffee creamers and salad dressing containers facing away from yourself to avoid spills. A useful travel suggestion is to avoid wearing white clothing while onboard. Instead, pack white outfits to wear during your vacation.
Being married to a pilot means we always travel with carry-on bags, as we usually fly standby. Eight years ago, when I first relocated to Houston, I organized a trip for my mother-in-law to Waco. However, after visiting the Silos, I struggled to find videos highlighting other activities in Waco.
After restarting from the beginning 11 times, I finally posted my debut YouTube video. In the past month alone, audiences have watched my content for 133,000 hours. It’s incredible how the countless lessons from my 20 years of errors can benefit so many others!

Travel Hack #2:
Instead of bringing a neck pillow, opt for a rolled-up sweater or jacket to support your head during travel.storage compression cubeFor a comfortable headrest during extended flights. A compression cube employs dual zippers (eliminating the need for a vacuum) to condense your clothing into a compact shape…similar to a book.
This is the strategy I used to gain viral attention on Instagram:
Place two shirts, two pairs of underwear, and one pair of socks into a single compression cube designed to fit snugly at the base of your personal item bag, which can then be stowed beneath the airplane seat.
If the airline inspects my carry-on suitcase at the last moment due to lack of space in the overhead compartments and subsequently misplaces my luggage, I have several days’ worth of clothing stored in my personal item bag.
Travel Hack #3:
A flight attendant shared this tip with me in an early video of mine. To prevent the curtains from opening in your hotel room, use a coat hanger from the closet.
Travel tip number 4:
To maximize space, store your makeup brushes in a zip-top bag rather than a stylish but bulky hardshell case. During your getaway, place the brushes upright in the glass mug provided by the hotel.
Travel Hack #5:
Keep a small stack of sticky notes in your carry-on luggage. They can be useful for:
Have you ever taken a moment to observe just how intense those lights shine?
