replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers A7 if you carry photo gear like me, I'm a huge fan of backacks that open from the back, instead of the front. So, nobody can unzip your bag when you're standing around or in a crowd, because the side that opens is against your back. I.e. @Lowepro flipside. #TravelSkills

A7.99% of the time my typical travel outfit consists of the @eddiebauer Daisy wrap, ponte stretch pants from @americangiant and a t shirt. It's basically socially acceptable pajamas. #travelskills

A8. Better design on planes? Overhead bins tall enough to take rollaboards on their sides. View screens on every seat. Give back some legroom! #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A7 I immediately think of GRID-IT from @cocoonbags - so useful! Then I won't travel without a stout battery pack from @AnkerOfficial . Lastly, a big fan of carrying a power strip that you can plug into Euro outlets. Invaluable in traditional or older hotels #travelskills

Rollaboards make travel easy cuz you don’t have to carry a 50 lb bag. People pack too much. So airlines make bigger bins to accommodate it all & then people buy bigger bags to lug more stuff on board. As a flight attendant, I 💗 seeing squishy duffel bags. They fit! #travelskills https://t.co/avBXmX1OuY

A8. More shoulder room as well as more legroom. Larger restrooms. Sadly, I think most airlines will ignore all these ideas because they like the revenue they get when taking these things out. #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A8 Aside from the obvious (leg room), better seatback pockets, cup holders, in-seat chargers, etc. Would also be great to fix the "I need to pee but the cart is in the aisle" conundrum #travelskills

Q7. Afar luggage (worth every penny); @icebreakernz base layers (cute, dry quick, never stink); @Athleta City Pants (they look posh, killer for long flights); @BOMBAS socks #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A8 I wish airlines would remove those smaller overhead bins on older planes and replace them with more spacious new ones! So frustrating. #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern TIP Before booking a flight, find out what types of aircrafts are used on the route because they’re not all created equal. Then cross-reference @SeatGuru to find the best seats. #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers Agreed, Matt. It comes down to passenger comfort vs. revenue for the airline. Guess which one wins? #TravelSkills
