Jenna Carr, also known as “The Travel Mother” on TikTok, posted a video online demonstrating how she packed a little blue backpack with everything she needed for a recent family outing, eliminating the need for additional luggage and saving money.

The 33-year-old reveals that low-cost airlines permit you to bring a free ‘personal item’ on board and that every customer, even children, receives a backpack. The Worksop, Nottinghamshire, mother of one asserts: “Over time, the hundreds of dollars you save on luggage really add up. We have been able to travel much more since making a few adjustments to the way the family travels.

In the video footage, which has been viewed more than 31,000 times, Jenna can be seen pointing to a little backpack and saying, ‘We’re going to use a hoover bag to get double the quantity of clothes in there’. In order to avoid paying ‘extra’ travel costs, Jenna utilises hoover bags to transport her clothing in a backpack. You can bring a “personal item” on board for free on low-cost planes, she claims.

Jenna draws in the air out of the bag to cut the volume that her garments occupy in half. Additionally, she removes air from the plastic bag after sealing it, allowing it to adjust to the curves of the backpack. Jenna shows that she places the sealed plastic bag in the backpack and suctions air out of it to allow the bag to conform to the contour of the backpack.

She continues by explaining how, to keep everything else in her bag clean, she wears her “bigger” shoes on the plane and wraps her smaller shoes, like sandals, in cling film.

What was her next advice? Food bags are fantastic for maintaining organization, according to Jenna. She notes that she loves to use plastic food bags to keep her jewelry and non-liquid cosmetics separate as they don’t need to be removed from her purse at security. Every traveller, including children, is permitted to bring a backpack at no additional cost, according to Jenna.
