Aer travel pack 3 review | my hands-on, travel-tested thoughts.

I test the new Aer Travel Pack 3 while on the road in Italy to see how it performs in the real world.

Product Reviews

If you follow The Savvy Backpacker, you know I’m a travel backpack dork so I was excited when Aer recently released the latest iteration of their popular AER Travel Pack. So how does the new Aer Travel Pack 3 compare to the older Aer Travel Packs I’ve reviewed in the past (read my Aer Travel Pack 2 Review and Aer Travel Pack Review ) and is the new Aer Travel Pack 3 still one of the best travel backpacks on the market? Let’s find out!

In this Aer Travel Pack 3 review, I’ll cover everything you need to know to help you decide if this is the right travel backpack for your trip.

How I Tested The Aer Travel Pack 3

I believe the best way to test a travel backpack is to actually use it while traveling since you can see how it performs in a real-world environment.

So to review the Aer Travel Pack 3 I hit the road for a two-week trip through Italy—mainly Rome and Naples where I took trains, used public transportation, and stayed in hotels and Airbnbs. For this trip, I also used my Aer backpack as my only piece of luggage so I have a good idea of how this backpack performs when fully packed out.

For reference, I’ve also continued using my Aer Travel Pack 3 on a few shorter domestic trips since this is such a versatile backpack.

Overview Of The Aer Travel Pack 3

Aer is well-known in the luggage community for making well-designed, high-quality backpacks that have a modern design aesthetic—in fact, the Aer Travel Pack 3 is sold at the NYC’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Design Store so it has some designer street cred.

The Aer Travel Pack caters to travelers who want a premium quality carry-on size backpack that is functional and has a sleek, urban vibe.

And the Aer Travel Pack 3 delivers. It’s comfortable, has a ton of smart organization, and the build quality is some of the best I’ve seen. In fact, Aer offers a lifetime warranty on their bags so they obviously believe in their products.

Aer Travel Pack 3 vs. Aer Travel Pack 2

On the surface, the Aer Travel Pack 3 and Travel Pack 2 look very similar but they’re quite different once you dive into the details.

The Aer Travel Pack 3 features multiple design and functionality improvements that make this bag much better than the older Aer Travel Pack 2 (which was already a well-regarded backpack). The most notable improvements are the updated harness system with load lifters (which was my main complaint on the v2), a slight overall size increase, and a few upgraded materials.

The TP3 ditches the old built-in shoe compartment (which I’m glad to see go), and it features new beefed-up hardware, added zipper pulls, a few pocket adjustments, and better cinch-down straps.

My Hands-On Aer Travel Pack 3 Review

I’ve come to really appreciate the Aer Travel Pack 3 after putting it through its paces while traveling through Italy.

Is it perfect? No. But it’s certainly one of the best travel backpacks I’ve personally tried.

So let’s take an in-depth look into all the details and features of the Travel Pack 3 to see what makes this bag excellent and where it comes up short.

Looks and Aesthetics

The first thing you notice when looking at the Aer Travel Pack 3 is its minimalist, streamlined, and utilitarian aesthetics. It has a sleek, urban techy vibe. The fabric is heavy-duty and all the hardware feels sturdy.

I’m a fan of the look Aer Travel Pack 3 because it feels more refined and modern than other travel backpacks. The bag has a more elevated vibe so don’t feel like a typical twentysomething “backpacker” when I’m wearing it. I also appreciate the backpack’s subtle branding—there is a small “Aer” logo on the side of the bag and a tiny one on the shoulder strap.

I prefer the black color option but it also comes in Grey and Olive—personally, I’m not a fan of the gray color but the Olive is interesting. But, I’d always choose black.

The Aer Travel Pack also comes in a slightly more expensive black X-Pac sailcloth exterior that’s more water-resistant and lighter. The X-Pac sailcloth material has a bit of a sheen (I prefer the look of the regular version) but the extra water resistance of the X-Pac sailcloth is certainly nice.

Materials, Hardware, and Zippers

Like all Aer bags, the Travel Pack 3 is a premium product so the materials and finishings used to construct this backpack are high quality—this is also reflected in the $250 price tag. The backpack’s exterior is made from heavy-duty 1680D Cordura® ballistic nylon, the zippers are all YKK®, and the buckles, fasteners, and other plastic pieces are made from durable Duraflex plastic. The padding on the shoulder straps and pull handles are thick for added comfort.

The entire bag weights in at 4.12 lbs so it’s not the lightest bag I’ve tested (for reference, the Travel Pack 3 is 35L and the 42L Cotopaxi Allpa weights roughly the same) but that’s one of the tradeoffs when using sturdy materials.

In short, you can tell they didn’t cheap out on the more minor details on the Travel Pack 3 so this is a sturdy backpack that will withstand plenty of abuse (and it’s all backed up with a lifetime warranty).

Harness System and Comfort

The harness system (i.e. shoulder straps) of the Aer Travel Pack 3 is a huge improvement from the previous generation Travel Pack 2—in fact, the old bag’s harness system was a big disappointment for such an otherwise well-designed and premium product.

Looking at the photos above, you’ll see how the Travel Pack 3 now uses a hiking-style harness that curves to fit your shoulders. This helps keep the weight of the backpack square against your back and up on your shoulders so the weight of the bag doesn’t pull away from your body (which causes added stress to your body. The Travel Pack 3 also has load lifter straps that help the steps confirm to your shoulders so it keeps the bag close to your back.

The shoulder straps are well-padded with about a quarter inch of high-density foam which helps disperse the weight of the load over your shoulders. There is also a good amount of mesh padding lining the back that adds more comfort while wearing.

The Travel Pack 3 also features an internal plastic framesheet that runs along the back of the bag for added structure & support.

NOTE: Aer sells a detachable hipbelt for $20 that can be added to the Travel Pack 3. I haven’t tried it but I assume it would make the bag even more comfortable—especially if using the bag for extended periods of time since a hipbelt distributes the bag’s weight from the shoulders to the hips.

Is The Aer Travel Pack 3 Comfortable?

The Aer Travel Pack 3 is a comfortable backpack but any bag will become less and less comfortable as you add weight—the Travel Pack 3 is no exception. That said, the bag’s hiking-style harness system makes it a great option for point-to-point city travel.

External Design Features

The Aer Travel Pack 3 features multiple smart design features that I truly appreciated after putting some miles on this bag.

The bag has three well-padded grab handles (top and both sides) which are great when you’re grabbing your bag from overhead bins, carrying your bag through train aisles, and other times when you need to carry the bag but you don’t want to throw it over your shoulder. The fact this bag has three grab handles is amazing since most bags only have one or two. The bag also has an unpadded strap on the bottom of the bag.

The bag has multiple types of zippers—all of which are high-quality YKK zippers.

The zipper on the laptop compartment has a weather-resistant coating so that will help keep your laptop safe if you get stuck in a rainstorm.

The other zippers on this bag aren’t weather-proofed but they’re still robust and the action on the zipping/unzipping is smooth.

The main zippers have lockable loops that can be secured with a small luggage lock. The zippers also have nice pulls to help make it easier to use the zippers. The previous version of the Travel Pack had zipper-pulls that made a lot of noise but this version has fixed that issue.

One tiny complaint is that the zippers of the main compartment and the front flap look so similar that it’s easy to confuse the two. I wish Aer put different colored zipper pulls to help quickly distinguish the two zippers.

The Aer Travel Pack 3 has redesigned magnetic buckles on the bag’s four cinch straps. These magnetic buckles are pretty genius because you can buckle/unbuckle them instantly, but the magnets are strong enough to keep the straps securely closed.

The cinch straps have also been moved in this latest version so they don’t obstruct the zippers—unlike the previous version where you have to unbuckle the straps to unzip the bag (it was very annoying).

Internal Pockets and Organization

The Aer Travel Pack 3 is loaded with internal pockets and organizational compartments to help keep all your stuff secure and easily accessible. In fact, it might take you a minute to remember where you put your stuff since there are so many places to stash your gear.

Let’s start with the front panel pocket which is full of multiple compartments and dividers. There’s a deep pocket in the back for documents, a zippered pocket for smaller valuables like your passport, and multiple elastic compartments for electronics accessories, pens, and other small knickknacks.

There’s also a good amount of room in this front panel so there’s space for a light jacket, etc.

On the very front of the bag, there’s a small pocket that has a weather-resistant zipper. It’s not a very deep pocket so I use this mainly for thin objects like paper documents, backup phone cables, snacks, etc. This pocket does have an internal key clip so you won’t lose your keys.

There is a super handy quick-access pocket at the top of the bag that I ended up using all the time while traveling with this backpack. The pocket is also lined with a soft and fuzzy fabric so it won’t scratch up your phone or glasses.

The pocket is large enough to hold a wallet, sunglasses case, passport, and phone (or other small items you need to easily grab while on the go).

The laptop compartment, which is protected with a water-resistant zipper, is located on the back of the backpack and it is comprised of a few different pockets.

The padded laptop sleeve can easily hold my 16″ Macbook Pro and the sleeve has a false bottom so your laptop is protected from hitting the ground.

There’s another large sleeve that can hold flat items like papers/folders, etc.

The compartment also contains a small hidden zippered pocket that offers an extra layer of security for your valuables (passport, phone, wallet, etc.).

On one side of the bag, you’ll find a small zippered pocket that can hold something like a passport and the other side features an expandable water bottle pocket. I don’t typically carry a water bottle so I haven’t tested this pocket but it looks to hold a standard disposable water bottle (not sure it can hold a large Nalgene-style bottle). Alternatively, you could put a small travel umbrella into that water bottle pocket.

Main Compartment

The Aer Travel Pack 3 has a lay-flat, clamshell-style opening, and features a single large cavernous compartment that zips completely open—which makes packing quick and easy. As you can see, it’s super minimal so I highly recommend using packing cubes to keep all your stuff organized.

There’s a small zipper pocket in the sidewall of the main compartment and then another small mesh pocket on the flap—so most of the organization is found on the outer front flap that I covered earlier in this article.

Aer rates their Travel Pack 3 as a 35L backpack so this bag can fit a solid amount of stuff but you still need to be selective in how much you pack. In my opinion, this back is geared towards people who want to travel relatively light.

If you’re a heavy packer, I recommend a 40L+ backpack or you could pair the Travel Pack 3 with a smaller suitcase.

Final Thoughts On The Aer Travel Pack 3

So is the Aer Travel Pack 3 a good travel backpack?

Yes. I honestly like this backpack and I found that it suited my travel style very well. I wouldn’t call myself an ultralight traveler but I certainly travel lighter than most. Through smart packing, I was able to fit enough stuff in my bag for about 7 days (including an extra pair of sneakers that I probably didn’t need) so had to do a wash about halfway through my two-week trip.

However, if you can’t pack reasonably light then this Aer backpack probably isn’t right for you since its 35L size is a bit smaller than similar travel backpacks. Check out my guide to the Best Travel Backpacks for my other top picks.

I love the minimalist styling of the Aer Travel Pack 3 since so many other travel backpacks have a “hiking” style that I don’t love.

I found the back to be comfortable so I had no problems hauling it around for extended amounts of time. I also thought the bag’s organization was smartly designed so I was able to access whatever I needed without much hassle.

The Aer Travel Pack 3 is also extremely durable and well-made so I have no doubt in its ability to withstand being thrown around.

But the quality of the Aer Travel Pack 3 comes at a price—it’s $249 for the standard version and $279 for the water-resistant X-Pac version.

Key travel tips you need to know — whether you’re a first-time or frequent traveler

The holiday travel season is fully upon us. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen a record number of passengers this Christmas, and the TSA already broke a daily record. They screened a whopping 2.9 million travelers on Nov. 26, 2023, alone ... the most passengers ever screened in a single day.

As millions of travelers take trips by plane , cruise ship or road , we've gathered some essential travel tips on how best to book and enjoy your journeys.

Whether you're an occasional road-tripper or a frequent globe-trotter, these TPG-backed top travel tips can help you avoid unnecessary headaches when you spend time away from home.

How to find travel deals

Flexibility is key when it comes to finding cheap airfare any time of year.

Changing your arrival or departure date by a single day can save you hundreds of dollars on airfare. If you don't mind altering your family's plans slightly, consider booking travel directly on major holidays like the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas for cheaper prices and thinner airport crowds.

One of our favorite tools at TPG for finding deals is Google Flights . You can use the search field to find the cheapest (or best) flights. Google will also give you a historical view of how prices have ranged and will even send you email alerts if fares jump or drop on specific routes you've selected.

It also has some fun tools you can use to find a cheap destination. By clicking the "Explore" button on the sidebar and putting your departure airport, Google will give you a map or list view of the most wallet-friendly destinations.

However, Google isn't the only place to find deals: TPG publishes regular deal alerts. You can sign up for Twitter alerts and subscribe to our daily newsletter for the latest deals news.

Don't sleep on mileage awards, either. If you've been hoarding miles during the pandemic, it's time to spend them. Cash prices are high, so it can be a good time to burn those miles.

No matter how much you think you know about redeeming miles for flights , there are always new tips and tricks for turning those earnings into dream trips. Turn to TPG for guidance on sweet spots for redemptions. Sites like ExpertFlyer (part of Red Ventures, like TPG) supply additional redemption ideas or even business class upgrade inventory.

You may even want to consult a travel agent to get access to special deals that aren't available anywhere else. Travel agents can sometimes get you extra perks at hotels or even cheaper business-class airfare to your dream destination.

Be your own best advocate

Since there are still air traffic controller shortages and little room for error in the system these days, travelers have to be their own best advocates.

There are ways to get ahead of any possible travel nightmares.

First, be smart when booking. Try to find a nonstop flight rather than one with connections, even if it costs a little more. You'll eliminate the risk of missing connections and lessen the chance of having your luggage go in a different direction than you during a transfer.

You could also take one of the first flights of the day, as those are least likely to face afternoon thunderstorms and most likely to depart on time. Read our article 5 reasons to book the first flight of the day for all the data.

Related: Your flight is canceled or delayed – here's what you should do next

Download your airline's mobile app to keep track of potential flight delays in real time. The airline app is a secret weapon in case things go wrong. Not only will you know when boarding starts, but you'll also learn of any delays first. Some airlines allow you to even rebook yourself in the app.

If your flight is canceled, you'll want to beat everyone else on your flight who is also looking to get rebooked.

We recommend heading for the customer service desk (or lounge desk if you have access). You could also get on the phone with the airline or contact them via social media if there's a delay . Sometimes, an airline's Twitter representative will help you faster than a phone or in-person agent can. You have to use every tool at your disposal when things go south.

Many airlines also now have live chat capabilities to help navigate delays and cancellations.

I always have an alternate plan (or two) in the back of my mind in case a flight gets canceled or delayed. I also look to see what other airlines are flying the route I'm booked in case something goes awry. This way, I'll know what to ask for if I need to be rebooked.

Also, save all the receipts for the expenses you incur during delays or cancellations. You'll want excellent documentation in the case of meltdowns like the one Southwest passengers experienced during the holidays .

If you're stuck at an airport for an extended period, seek out your airport's secret quiet spaces for a brief escape from the travel chaos.

Get Global Entry and/or TSA PreCheck

One of our favorite ways to speed through the airport and avoid those summertime mega lines is via Trusted Traveler programs like TSA PreCheck and Global Entry .

Essentially, the government pre-screens you for security and thus you save a bit of time during your travels. You'll need to apply ahead of time and pay a fee. The great news, however, is that many credit cards will give you a statement credit for these fees. TSA PreCheck is a $78 application fee for five years, and Global Entry is $100.

Related: 7 ways to get Global Entry, TSA PreCheck and/or Clear for free

TSA PreCheck allows you to speed through airport security without removing your shoes, laptops or liquids. With Global Entry , you can breeze through customs when you return from an international trip.

If you have the time, going for Global Entry rather than simply TSA PreCheck makes sense. Global Entry requires an interview with Customs and Border Patrol ahead of time, but once you're approved, TSA PreCheck will be included.

Get Clear for the ultimate security trifecta

The other security tool we recommend you have in your travel toolbelt is Clear .

Related: Why you should get TSA PreCheck and Clear

The expedited security program allows you to bypass long security lines by using a separate lane at many airports. You'll approach a kiosk where your identity is confirmed via an iris scan or fingerprint. A Clear employee will then escort you to the front of the security screening line.

A Clear membership combined with TSA PreCheck will enable you to go to even shorter lines at some airports with designated Clear/PreCheck lines. Clear isn't perfect at all airports where it's so popular, and there are now long lines (cough, Atlanta). However, it will still generally lead to shorter lines overall.

Make copies of your important documents

Make digital and hard copies of all your important travel-related documents. Start by photographing your driver's license, your state ID and/or your passport.

You should have copies of your IDs in your phone's library in case you get separated from the actual document. Sometimes, it also helps in a pinch if you are asked for ID, and you didn't bring the hard copy. For example, I was recently asked for my ID to enter One Vanderbilt to have dinner at the new American Express Centurion Lounge in New York. The receptionist would have accepted a photograph of the ID if I didn't have the physical document.

TPG also recommends having an actual photocopy in a separate place. Editor Kristy Tolley says she stores a hard copy in a separate place from where she keeps her passport in case she loses a bag. "I also leave a copy of it at home if I'm traveling alone," she said.

Check expiration dates

If you aren't 100% certain of the expiration date of your passport and other travel documents, go check them now. Renewing passports takes time, and some countries require six months of future passport validity to allow entry. Remember that child passports expire every five years, which can sneak up on you.

Related: How and when to renew your passport

Double-checking the expiration dates for your driver's licenses and state IDs is also a good idea. Remember that TSA checks the expiration dates on your documents when they screen you for security. Don't forget to check the expiration dates for your Trusted Traveler programs like Global Entry, Clear and TSA PreCheck, too. It can take a while to get a Global Entry interview appointment if you need one to renew.

Few things are worse than getting to the front of the security line and realizing the PreCheck mark is gone from your boarding pass.

Finally, check the entry requirements if you are traveling internationally. Some countries require visas that you must acquire before arrival.

Consider travel protection

When booking your travel, try to use a credit card that offers some built-in travel protection . Many credit cards, including TPG favorites like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or The Platinum Card® from American Express , offer this when you use those cards to purchase your airfare and similar.

Related: Best credit cards for trip delays and cancellations

If the coverage offered by your credit card isn't enough, you might also want to purchase travel insurance . These policies can sometimes go beyond trip cancellations to cover things like medical evacuations. Warning: Read the fine print on any extra policies very carefully to ensure it covers the situations that matter the most to you.

Those who frequently travel abroad may want to consider purchasing an annual travel insurance policy instead of buying one on a trip-by-trip basis. Some TPG staffers purchase annual policies because of the cost savings for multiple trips. Some will find having an annual policy is easier than juggling separate policies or various credit card coverage terms and conditions.

Tips for your luggage

TPG has a ton of tips when it comes to luggage.

First and foremost, try to be on "team carry-on" whenever possible. If you don't check baggage, you are much less likely to become separated from it. Many of us at TPG refuse to check luggage except under extreme circumstances.

Of course, other folks with families or those embarking on long journeys may still want to check bags. If that's the case for you, you can still do many things to lessen the chance you get separated from your stuff. For example, make sure your luggage is in good working order, your contact info is attached, the bag is within the weight limits, you get to the airport early (but not too early) to check it and confirm your luggage is tagged to the right destination or connection.

Related: 7 tips to keep the airline from losing your luggage

After last year's baggage delays and luggage disasters , we strongly suggest you put Apple AirTags (or the Android equivalent ) into your luggage so you can track your items if they go missing .

If you check a bag, keep extra medicine or medical supplies in your carry-on bag in case your luggage goes missing or gets delayed. "As a diabetic, I keep a tiny emergency kit in my backpack with enough supplies to keep me going in an emergency," TPG writer Tanner Saunders said.

Former TPG credit card writer Ryan Smith also offered words of advice regarding luggage. "The last items you pack in your carry-on will be most accessible, so use this for your passport, ID, ticket, headphones or whatever else you need during the trip," he said. By making sure those items you'll use most are easiest to reach, you'll save yourself the hassle of having to dig around (or partially unpack) your bag to grab what you need.

Finally, be sure and get compensated if your bags are late or lost. Many airlines will give you points or even cash for delayed bags, and the government has rules on compensation if your bags are lost.

Staying safe on your journeys

From potentially getting robbed while on the road to experiencing bad weather or natural disasters while traveling, there are many scenarios that could arise when you're away from home.

To mitigate those risks, pay attention to U.S. Department of State warnings about a destination you plan to visit and check local sources for the latest news from that country or region for additional context. Although the State Department tends to err on the side of caution with its warnings, it's still best to be aware of what you may face during your trip.

Also, know the local number in case of emergencies. In many places, including Mexico and much of Europe, if you dial 9-1-1 on your cellphone, you will be connected to emergency services just like in the U.S. However, you should know the local emergency numbers of whichever country you visit.

Let people at home know your itinerary and stay in touch with them throughout your trip. If something goes amiss, at least someone will know where you're supposed to be or the last place you visited.

If you're arriving at night, contact your hotel or home-share host to ask about the best way to get there at the time you're arriving and the safest ways to travel at night in that area.

Also, be strategic about how you check into a hotel. Some solo travelers request two keycards to imply someone else is on the trip. Giving thought to the hotel room's security swing bar can also make sense, with some taking steps like placing a hand towel over it to make it harder to dislodge from the outside.

Some final tips

• For cruisers, TPG principal cruise writer Gene Sloan suggests arriving in port at least a day in advance (if not several days ahead of time). This will eliminate the risk of missing your ship's departure time and help you get acclimated to the local time zone.
• When taking road trips to out-of-the-way destinations, go old school and bring paper maps with you or download offline maps from Google. Using a paper map or an offline version means you always have a way to navigate around your chosen destination, even if you lose cellular service.
• One other note, you should reserve airport parking ahead of time during peak travel times. Some airport parking areas fill up fast around holidays, so reserving your spot ahead of time will save you from wasting time looking for a space when you need to catch a flight. You can also sometimes save by booking online in advance, too.

Bottom line

Whether you're fresh to the world of traveling or a seasoned expert, you can always learn new tips to maximize your time away from home. The more research and preparation you do before your trip, the better your experience will be — especially if things go wrong, as they sometimes do.

Some of our favorite tools are deal alerts, Google Flights , sign-up bonuses and credit card rewards . Learn those tools and use them for better travel every time.

Remember that these days when things go wrong, you have to be your own best advocate. For more travel tips and tricks, read the stories below.

3-1-1 Rule for Liquids in Carry-on Bags

Find out what's allowed before you pack

When you're going through airport security on your next vacation or business flight, you might notice a posted rule by the Transportation Security Administration called the 3-1-1 Rule, which dictates how much liquid travelers are allowed in their carry-on bags. Still, you might not understand exactly what this regulation means for your traveling needs.

The 3-1-1 Rule refers to three core components that govern how many liquids you can bring in your carry-on bags: Each liquid must be in a 3.4-ounce or less container ("3"), all containers must be placed inside one clear quart-sized plastic bag ("1"), and each passenger is only allowed one plastic bag ("1").

In sum, the 3-1-1 Rule states that you can carry as much liquid as can fit inside 3.4-ounce containers that fit inside one plastic quart-sized bag; however, you can bring as much liquid as you feel comfortable carrying in your checked bags as long as these liquids do not violate other TSA regulations that dictate what you can and cannot fly with in general.

How to Pack Your Liquids in Carry-ons

Whether you're hoping to bring your favorite shampoo or conditioner on your weekend trip or need to take contact solution on your flight, you'll need to properly pack liquids to get them through the TSA security checkpoint without hassle.

You'll want to start by either buying travel-size bottles of your favorite products or by purchasing travel toiletry bottles , which you can buy online, at most supermarkets, or home goods stores, and filling them with enough of your favorite products to get you through your trip. Then pack each of these inside a quart-sized ziplock (or other sealable) plastic bag—you should be able to fit four or five.

It's recommended that you pack this bag of bottles in your carry-on last, on top of your clothing and other times, because you'll need to pull the bag out and put it in one of the security checkpoint bins to pass through the X-ray machine. You can also stow it conveniently in an outside zip pocket for easy access.

Liquids That Are and Aren't Allowed

You might be surprised to learn that you can bring travel-size bottles of alcohol in your carry-on or that you can't carry creamy dips or spread as a snack in your suitcase if it exceeds 3.4 ounces, but knowing these rules will help you avoid additional screening at the TSA checkpoint.

You can bring blenders (with blades removed), alcoholic beverages less than 3.4 ounces that do not exceed 70 percent in alcohol content, baby food, some canned foods, and even live lobsters, but you cannot bring gel heating pads, any wet foods that exceed 3.4 ounces, ice cream of any quantity, or firearms of any type. 

For a complete list of all items that are forbidden and permitted through TSA security checkpoints at airports, make sure to check out the TSA website before your flight—you can even snap a picture of an item you're questioning and ask them on the TSA Facebook page whether or not it is allowed.

It’s no secret that we really liked Aer’s original Travel Pack when we first reviewed it. It was a good one-bag solution for those who don’t want to be overly encumbered with suitcases and bags on their flight (i.e., us). In fact, the follow-up Travel Pack 2 was our bag of choice for our Digital Nomad Packing List — was . Enter the Travel Pack 3, the third iteration of the collection, and it has the unenviable task of upstaging its already-great predecessor. With a long list of upgrades—both subtle and explicit ones—we think it has what it takes to become our new Digital Nomad bag of choice (spoiler alert: it does).

And there are a LOT of these upgrades to cover. The harness system welcomes back some old friends from the original Travel Pack: load lifters. Aer has also added magnetic buckles around the bag, which we’re a bit let down by. We also say goodbye to the shoe compartment, which was in the two previous versions. Plus, the compression straps and compartment openings have been revised to improve access and ease of packing. If you’re a visual learner, check out our Pack Hacker Pro-exclusive video to see exactly how we pack it. (If you’re a pro member and you’re logged in, click here .)

While we’re welcoming some upgrades with the Travel Pack 3, some tradeoffs are tagging along with them. Now, let’s move along with the review and meet who they are. Strap in because it’s going to be a jam-packed one.

Materials & Aesthetic

As you might have already guessed based on the “3” in the name, the Travel Pack 3 isn’t Aer’s first take on the concept. They’ve pretty much nailed their desired aesthetic at this point—an aesthetic that we all dig here at Pack Hacker.

It’s not just the black-on-black color scheme that we like. In spite of the now-larger 35-liter size, Aer has been able to keep the sleek looks. It still has their go-to styling cue of black ballistic nylon, a squared-off shape, and a bisecting zippered opening right at the front. They’ve scaled that design language up and down their product range from pouches like the Split Kit all the way to travel backpacks like the Travel Pack 3. Some design elements may shift from place to place, but Aer’s done well to make their gear stand out from the pack.

We’ll admit, it doesn’t look drastically different from the Travel Pack 2. Unless you put them side-by-side, you might be hard-pressed to tell which bits and bobs are new. If you’re coming from the previous version, there’s nothing majorly different about the visual side of things. But hey, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to get excited about (there’s plenty of that to come later in the next sections). Rather, the lack of stand-out differences versus the previous model is just down to the minimalist approach the brand takes when it comes to design. Put another way, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

On that note, the Travel Pack 3 uses the same familiar material as the Travel Pack 2: 1680D CORDURA Ballistic Nylon. This time it’s bluesign certified, so you know it’s made with safety and sustainability in mind—good for the people making it, good for the environment. It’s an extra tidbit of peace of mind that’s oh-so-satisfying to have. Of course, the fabric still has that abrasion-resistant durability that a heavy denier brings along with it.

If you’re looking for something more eye-catching, the Olive colorway holds a certain appealto us here at Pack Hacker. It just looks a touch more classy and, dare we say, imaginative than plain black. Alternatively, Gray is also an option, featuring 700D CORDURA—it’s a lower denier fabric, but it’s more than tough enough for city use if our short, but generally positive, stint with the Duffel Pack 2 is anything to go by.

Needless to say, the Travel Pack 3 is about as well-built as we’ve come to expect from Aer (read: very well-built). The smaller details of the bag really help tie things together in this respect. The YKK zippers feel high quality, helped further by Hypalon pulls on some of them. On the subject of zipper pulls, the jingly-ness we observed from Aer’s earlier iterations of their gear is practically gone. Paracord complements the metal pulls, and they’re threaded through in such a way that dampens metal-on-metal clacking. The metal pulls themselves are smaller, too.

One of the most notable additions to this new version of the Travel Pack are the magnetic Woojin buckles. Magnets are a joy to use because of the tactile feedback when you engage and disengage them, which is why they’re also great to fidget around with. However, we’re not completely sold on their implementation on the Travel Pack 3, which we’ll cover in the next section.

External Components

Since the Travel Pack 3 is a slightly bigger bag compared to the Travel Pack 2, changes to the harness system are welcome. Not that the Travel Pack 2 was uncomfortable to carry by any means, mind you. Just that, in our previous review, the changes made going from the Travel Pack 1 to the Travel Pack 2 felt like a bit of a tradeoff. We’re, of course, talking about the addition of the (optional) hip belt but the removal of the load lifters.

Now that tradeoff is now effectively nullified. The load lifters are back on the Travel Pack 3 along with the option to add a hip belt, and Aer’s managed to solve one of the reasons they were omitted from the previous Travel Pack in the first place: to reduce the number of dangling straps. The solution is simple enough: strap keepers. Just below where the load lifters are, there are flat loops on the shoulder straps where the extra slack can be threaded through.

What are load lifters anyway? Simply put, they’re straps anchoring the upper portion of the shoulder straps to the top edge of the bag’s structure. Their ultimate purpose is to pull the bag toward your back, lifting some weight off your shoulders and preventing the bag from sagging and creating that sensation you’re being pulled backward. While they may not be strictly necessary on the 35-liter Travel Pack 3, they do make a noticeable difference in carrying comfort.

On the opposite end of the bag are two nylon loops where you have the option to attach the aforementioned hip belt (sold separately) via gatekeeper clips. Like load lifters, a hip belt also helps shift the weight of your pack, but this time to your waist area, which can more comfortably handle the pounds. The strap itself is wide and thickly padded, with a correspondingly beefy side release buckle in the middle.

Like the load lifters, it’s not an absolute must-have unless you really have the Travel Pack 3 loaded to the brim. Side note: when not in use, this hip belt can poke you in the sides if it’s not folded right. Good thing it’s removable, so you can just pack it away or leave it at home when you don’t need it.

Supportive load lifters and a hip belt are good and all, but the basic comfort of a backpack still lies on its trusty pair of shoulder straps. The good news is that the Travel Pack 3’s are just as comfortable to shoulder as we remember them on the Travel Pack 2. In fact, we’d say they’re even more comfortable because side-by-side, the Travel Pack 3’s are a little bit wider and somewhat thicker. However, the latter may be because our Travel Pack 2’s straps are quite broken in.

Nonetheless, they’re very comfortable to wear, especially once you take full advantage of the load lifters and hip belt, even though the Travel Pack 3 has an additional two liters of storage over the previous version. Keep in mind comfort is relative, and your mileage may still vary depending on your body type. For example, those with smaller frames may not feel as comfortable with the wide shoulder straps.

There’s also a D-ring at the top of one of the shoulder straps, which was previously on the left side for the Travel Pack 2 but is now on the right. We’re not quite sure why they moved it, but we’re fine with it on either side, and it is handy to have.

There’s also a sternum strap, and while the vertical adjustment is sliding (and that’s our favorite kind), we’re less enthused with the magnetic buckle. There’s technically nothing wrong with it since it works as intended. However, we do feel it’s a bit unnecessary for a sternum strap compared to a much simpler side release buckle. In our experience, a side release buckle is better because it simply plugs and clicks. Meanwhile, a magnetic buckle needs to be pulled inwards to unclasp, which is slightly discomforting if you have it well-tensioned. It’s a tiny detail, but something we definitely notice in day-to-day use.

Other things to note about the shoulder straps include them not being stowable. We’ve seen this feature on other travel bags like the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L and THULE Subterra Convertible Carry-On . We don’t find the lack of this feature to be a huge loss since we like having them out and ready all the time for our one-bag trips. It’s a feature that’s more prevalent among bags with multiple carry options, which the Travel Pack 3 isn’t. Silver lining: if you’re looking for this feature in order to avoid dangling straps, there are elastic strap keepers built-in with the sternum and shoulder straps that keep their slack in check.

The back panel remains mostly unchanged from the Travel Pack 2 in terms of design. There are two foam panels with a vertical air channel in the middle. The foam is covered in a mesh fabric which allows the material to breathe and minimizes heat. Comfort-wise, the cushioning does well to make the Travel Pack 3 feel less boxy and flat. For times when the bag isn’t on your back, there’s a strap embedded in the air channel, intended as a luggage pass-through in case you want to hitch the bag to your roller.

Alternatively, there are handles along the edges (top, bottom, and both sides). The top handle is easily the most padded among the four. Our only nitpick is that it’s located far in the middle of the bag. This makes it almost impossible to hang on shallow hooks in restroom stalls (and no, there isn’t a loop between the shoulder straps, either).

The side handles have some thickness to them, and they’re made from slick seatbelt-like material. As opposed to the centrally located top handle, they’re positioned more towards the side of the back panel. This means that when we’re carrying it briefcase-style, the bag leans and feels lopsided. There’s also a plain nylon strap at the bottom, mostly for “pull-it-out-of-the-overhead-bin” scenarios.

Despite the nitpicks on the handles, they do their job well when we need to move the relatively weighty Travel Pack 3 over short distances. We’re talking about moving to another seat in an airport terminal, across your hotel room, or just passing it among your travel companions. If we have any other handle-related nitpicks, it’s that none of them can be used to hang the bag on narrow hooks—the kind you find behind restroom stalls.

On the right side of the Travel Pack 3 is a water bottle pocket that sits flush against the bag. It’s held down by a zipper, another feature carried over from the previous version, which we like. Unzipping reveals the stretchy mesh fabric inside that gives the pocket its expandability. For context, our fairly slender 21-ounce Hydro Flask doesn’t sit all the way down on the non-flat floor, nor is it firmly gripped by the elastic. On the other hand, our wider 32-ounce Nalgene Wide-Mouth fits more snuggly.

Above the water bottle pocket is a D-ring, a carry-over all the way from the original Travel Pack. Fun fact: this was originally intended as an attachment point for a detachable shoulder strap Aer ultimately didn’t implement. The D-ring is still here, though, and you can use it for other purposes like securing the handle of a water bottle or simply hanging accessories like luggage tags and keychains.

Aer made major revisions to the four compression straps, too. We must say these are the most exciting to us because it affects accessibility and ease of packing—two crucial aspects for any travel bag. In the Travel Pack 2, the compression straps went over the zippered openings of the bag; not so for the Travel Pack 3.

There are still four of them: two on each side of the bag. This time, Aer moved the openings further forward so that the straps don’t go over them. Another change is the move to magnetic buckles instead of side release ones. As with the sternum strap, we’re not quite satisfied with these because there are instances where they disengage on their own. However, since there are four of them, and if they’re tightened enough, the issue isn’t catastrophically bad—a minor inconvenience at most. Just be sure you hook any gear to them, as it’ll fall off if they come apart. It’s interesting to note that the Travel Pack 3 Small seems to be less affected by this minor issue, and that may be because that bag tends to be more densely packed than the roomier Travel Pack 3.

One of the main uses of compression straps is turning relatively large travel backpacks into something more daily drivable (i.e., more daypack-like). In this regard, we think the Travel Pack 2’s simpler, more secure compression straps are the better solution (zipper overlap notwithstanding). In contrast, the Travel Pack 3’s larger size and less secure buckles toe the line between daily drivable and strictly travel. If daypack-able is what you’re looking for, it’s definitely worth checking out the easier-to-wield Travel Pack 3 Small instead, or even the Tortuga Travel Backpack 30 —both of which are smaller than the Travel Pack 3.

Inside The Backpack

All of that capacity is put to good use, though. The Travel Pack 3 is packing compartments and pockets—lots of ‘em. We’ve already shown you the water bottle pocket on the right side. In addition to that, there’s also another zippered pocket on the opposite side of the bag.

It’s very stealthy and great for quick-grab items like a passport and wallet. The opening of the pocket itself is fairly shrouded by fabric; you wouldn’t guess a pocket is hiding underneath if not for split in the pack’s material—the telltale sign of a zippered opening. The fabric shroud has enough space underneath to tuck the zipper in, hiding it completely.

Next is the top quick-grab pocket. This is geared more towards fragile or easily scratched items like a smartphone or a pair of sunglasses. Inside, the inner fabric is a soft and thick liner that’s less abrasive than regular polyester lining. The only downside is that the fabric is completely black, so it’s best to avoid putting small accessories like black memory cards in there.

Since the opening uses a self-locking YKK zipper, you can also stash a mid-sized power bank inside and route a charging cable out of it. Simply leave a small hole for the cable and fold down the metal zipper pull so that it stays in place.

If the top and side pockets aren’t enough, there’s still plenty of space inside the front pocket. Its coverage practically spans the entire lower half of the Travel Pack 3’s front, meaning it’s deep enough to stash our folded jacket inside (though this still depends on how packed the main compartment’s pockets are). On the flip side, its depth means that using a pouch is recommended to prevent smaller items from getting mixed up. The only exception are keys since there’s a built-in key clip. We’re happy to report that it’s a solid key clip, too, one that feels way better than the plastic-y ones Aer has included in the past.

Despite the pocket’s depth, access remains quite good. The YKK AquaGuard zipper serves both as a distinguishing visual feature and a water-resistant barrier between the elements and what’s inside. It’s flanked by a pair of nylon tabs, making zipping and unzipping easier, especially when the bag’s tightly packed.

Around the back, the Travel Pack 3 comes with a dedicated tech compartment where you can put your laptop and its accessories. The laptop sleeve fits around our 16-inch MacBook Pro with room to spare. There’s also a false bottom, which is something Aer also added on a second iteration of the Travel Pack 2. However, the laptop sleeve is only raised about an inch from the base of the bag, and we feel this could have been more. The Travel Pack 3 is a relatively large backpack, so we think there’s room for the sleeve to be shifted an inch further upward to add a little extra protection.

There’s also space in the middle if you need to carry a folder of documents around. Near the top of the opening is a zippered pocket for tech accessories. It’s a prime spot to put long laptop charging bricks or a small tech pouch. On the other hand, we use it to stash our packable hat since the pocket is relatively easy to access. Really, with so many pockets in the Travel Pack 3, you’re free to make use of all of them as you see fit.

One neat design element of the Travel Pack 3 is how the upper portion of the tech compartment is wedge-shaped. This allows the back panel to better contour around your upper back and shoulders, most notably when the load lifters are tightened down. It also gives the zippered pocket inside and the top quick grab pocket more space to occupy and minimizes how much they press against each other. You can check out the photo below to get a clearer picture of what we mean.

It’s a very small and subtle attention to detail that really highlights the amount of thought that goes into designing the Travel Pack 3.

The Travel Pack 3’s isn’t out of pockets just yet. At the front is an admin panel that acts as the bag’s secondary main compartment. This is where the bulk of the bag’s organization is allocated. Granted, the pocket layout hasn’t changed much from the Travel Pack 2, but we guarantee you things have been improved.

First, the horseshoe-style opening now goes about an inch lower than the previous version. This keeps items like pouches and organizers more accessible when they’re stuffed into the lowermost area of the compartment. Second, the compartment’s material, stitching, and seams look a lot cleaner. The most noteworthy visual distraction they’ve managed to hide is the piping around the edges. The reinforcement is still there, but it’s now much more integrated and seamless.

There are two liner pockets for items like our MacBook Pro’s charging brick and Magic Keyboard . The row above that is populated by a small mesh pocket in front of two liner pockets flanking a pen/stylus slot. This row is better suited for smaller items we more frequently use, like our AirPods , Magic Mouse 2 , and Field Notes notebook. The topmost zippered pocket is a good storage space for smaller paper documents like tickets, receipts, and travel guides. Behind that is a tablet sleeve that can fit up to a 12.9-inch iPad Pro or similarly-sized documents.

There’s a fair amount of room inside this compartment alongside the vast array of pockets. Our key observation here is that despite the number of pockets, it doesn’t feel overwhelming, nor do any of them feel conflicting. We’ve seen bags like CODEOFBELL’s X-CASE where some of the pockets inside are tricky to access because of its design—not the case with the Travel Pack 3. Organization feels just right, with a lot of options offering storage flexibility.

Last but not least is the main compartment. As we mentioned earlier, the compression straps no longer get in the way of the opening because it’s been moved forward. As a result, the sidewalls of the compartment are noticeably higher than the Travel Pack 2’s. In turn, this means packing is made easier because there’s more bucket space to fill up.

It’s the same design most travel backpacks with a similar clamshell-style opening have. The bag’s boxier design fits packing cubes inside like puzzle pieces. While we do favor the use of packing cubes in general, we’d say they’re necessary for the Travel Pack 3. There are no built-in tie-down straps, nor are there any attachment points to add them. Unless you’re packing clothes tightly, chances are they’ll get tossed around if they aren’t secured in smaller pouches. Aer sells their own line of packing cubes and pouches, of which our choice would be the Aer Packing Cubes V2 and Aer Slim Pouch , both of which fit perfectly in the Travel Pack 3’s compartments. That said, there’s nothing proprietary like special magnets and buckles stopping you to find alternatives that fit just as well.

There’s a small and quite hidden pocket for a smart tracker just behind the top pocket’s liner. It’s very easy to miss unless you move the liner out of the way, though that adds to the security. Our Apple AirTag fits the pocket snuggly, and its opening butts up against the bag’s roof (sidewall), so there’s little chance it will fall out. We like this implementation of a smart tracker pocket, and, more importantly, it makes the Travel Pack 3 feel more in line with the times.

There is also a side pocket along the right side where you can hide some important travel documents like valid IDs, membership cards, a passport, transit card, etc. Since the compression straps are no longer in the way, accessing this pocket won’t be as tricky as it was on the Travel Pack 2.

Lastly, on the lid is a zippered mesh pocket. This one’s big and wide enough for clothes like socks or gloves. Alternatively, it can be used as a toiletry pouch in case you don’t use one (though we highly recommend looking into those). Behind the mesh pocket, there’s a hidden compartment about the size of the entire lid. It doesn’t have much space in terms of bulk, though it is gusseted. This is where we put a towel or even some souvenir t-shirts as a surprise for later.

By far, the biggest feature the Travel Pack 3 omits from the Travel Pack 2 is the shoe compartment. There’s also no built-in alternative like underslung straps where you can hang shoes. The good news is that since the Travel Pack 3 has more capacity, the space is still there if you want to pack a pair of shoes—it’s just a matter of using something like a shoe pouch from WANDRD or Peak Design . Word of warning, though: Any odor that may leak will linger within the main compartment.

If you’re currently on the Travel Pack 2 and like its shoe compartment, that’s really the only major step down with the Travel Pack 3. The rest of the bag’s features are a step up in terms of space, organization, and build quality. The experience just feels much more refined—and Aer just set itself a higher bar to hurdle.

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III plans to travel to France next month for British ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, while skipping the larger international event a few miles away as he continues to be treated for cancer.

Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to attend a ceremony at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer on June 6, Buckingham Palace said Friday. The Prince of Wales will stand in for the king at the international ceremony at Omaha Beach near Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, joining heads of state and veterans from around the world in marking the anniversary.

William will also attend the Canadian event at the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer. The Princess of Wales, who is also being treated for cancer, is not expected to attend.

Charles has begun a carefully managed return to public facing duties after being sidelined for three months following his cancer diagnosis .

The king signaled his comeback when he visited a cancer treatment center in London on May 1. It was his first formal public engagement since Feb. 6, when Buckingham Palace announced that Charles would take a break from public duties to focus on his treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.

While doctors are “very encouraged” by the king’s progress, he continues to undergo treatment and his schedule will be adjusted as needed to protect his recovery, the palace has said.

I couldn’t help it. In the course of scouting out great adventures for West Coast 101 — our new guide to essential destinations in Baja, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia — I found myself compiling a personal top 10.

I’ll get to that list shortly. But first, an honorable mention.

Even if you’ve never seen “The Big Lebowski,” you’ve probably heard someone mention the rug that tied Lebowski’s room together . Well, Harris Ranch does that for California.

This I-5 stop for food, gas, lodging and bathrooms (not necessarily in that order) might not make anyone’s bucket list. And I’ll admit that if the wind blows the wrong way, it smells like cattle. But if you’re driving north-south through the San Joaquin Valley, which just about every Californian does sooner or later, you’re going to need to stop somewhere.

Bring this list on your adventures! Order L.A. Times’ new ‘101 Best West Coast Experiences’ zine here.

Harris Ranch faithfully awaits, 184 miles south of San Francisco and 200 miles north of L.A. City Hall, the pride of Coalinga. Over the years, I’ve pumped gas at its Shell station, slept in its comfortable hotel (no resort fee or room tax), conducted interviews in its Horseshoe Lounge, lingered over breakfast in its Ranch Kitchen (excellent) and grabbed a sandwich from its Express BBQ (adequate). I’ve even bought bonsai from Hyo Kim, who peddles delicately coiffed junipers, olive and pine trees ($25-$500) from a stand on the dirt shoulder across the street.

I’m not saying cattle ranches are good for the planet’s future — definitely not. But I’m just realizing that for about 45 years now, Harris Ranch has been the rug tying together my adventures in the vast living room that is our West Coast.

Your rug might be different. After all, these lists are subjective.

Of our 101 best West Coast experiences, these 10 resonate most for me. I’d recommend them to just about any California newbie and I’d grab at a chance to visit them again — some for basic beauty, others for the stories they tell or the memories they tie together.

What are we going to do about Highway 1? Since that coast road was built on the slopes of Big Sur in the 1930s, we’ve treasured it. But as any acrophobe, geologist or engineer could tell you, those slopes crumble and slide relentlessly. Year after year, Caltrans moves mountains to keep that two-lane road navigable. Then comes another slide. Since January 2023 it’s been impossible to drive from San Simeon to Big Sur via the coastal route. (Caltrans announced partial reopening May 16. Check before you go. ) Whenever I worry about the highway, I think of Deetjen’s, which is basically a roadside time capsule clad in weathered wood. It opened about the time the highway did and won over generations of road-trippers with its rustic rooms and restaurant. Before Helmuth Deetjen died in 1972, he set up a nonprofit organization to keep the place running in old-school fashion. I’ve been stopping there since the 1980s. You have to call to make a reservation. And when you get there, you have to expect paper-thin walls along with the Norwegian woodwork, the crackle of the fireplace and the portrait of Deetjen on the wall. It’s a priceless place. And Nepenthe and the Henry Miller Memorial Library are just down the road. We just can’t take Deetjen’s or that road for granted.

8. Yosemite Valley

Does this need explaining? Probably not. If you’re arriving from the south, you emerge from the long, dark Wawona Tunnel to see El Capitan and Half Dome looming above a green, wet world of its own. Waterfalls roar left and right. The valley stretches for seven miles, framed by granite walls that Ansel Adams had to shoot and Alex Honnold had to climb. The Merced River meanders through. Even if you don’t have $600 to spend a night in the Ahwahnee Hotel, you can pop by for a snack, gaze up at painted rafters that go back to 1927 and warm yourself by one of the big fireplaces.

7. Venice Beach

Yeah, I know. There’s plenty to lament in Venice. But when you hit that beach at the right time on the right day, it feels so emblematic of Southern California. On my last visit, the sun was just setting. My wife, Mary Frances, and I checked out the skateboarders, chatted with a few artists who were selling work along the sidewalk and did a double take at the Shul on the Beach (a.k.a. Pacific Jewish Center), an Orthodox synagogue where worshipers were just gathering for a Friday night Shabbat meal.

6. The whales of Baja’s lagoons

It’s one thing to watch migrating gray whales off the Southern California coast, standing at the rail of a big boat, looking for spouts in the distance and perhaps drawing within 100 yards. It’s something else when you’re in a panga on the waters of a southern Baja lagoon — usually Ojo de Liebre (Scammon’s) or San Ignacio. These immense creatures, the cows and and the calves, get so close sometimes, it feels intimate. And maybe a little scary. The adults weigh up to 90,000 pounds.

5. Ferry Building and waterfront San Francisco

I’m trying to think of a more successful architectural resurrection than San Francisco’s Ferry Building. And failing. Picture that 1898 waterfront building in the 1920s, when there was no Bay Bridge and no Golden Gate Bridge and up to 50,000 people per day were commuting by ferry. The Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street was the center of the Bay Area’s nervous system. Then the bridges went up, commuters abandoned the ferries, the building was rehabbed into ugly offices and decades passed. Finally, in the aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, San Francisco leaders launched a plan to revive the building. It reopened in 2003 as a foodie-oriented restaurant and retail space, a thousand times more interesting to me than the souvenir shops of Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 (although at least you get the sight and sound of sea lions there). Apart from the food, it’s got great views of the Bay Bridge. (And with luck, that bridge’s nightly light show, which went dark last year, will resume in early 2025.) I think of the Ferry Building and the Golden Gate Bridge as the bookends of the waterfront.

4. Hidden Valley, Joshua Tree National Park

I’m not a rock climber or a boulderer. But I’m a sucker for sunrises and sunsets in the desert. And when that golden-hour light hits the jumbled boulders in Hidden Valley, it’s hard to resist.

The high desert may have gone upscale, but don’t worry — it’s still funky.

3. Pike Place Market, Seattle

This is always the first place I want to go in Seattle, a spot where people, colors, flavors and scents all come together. I walk past the mirrored bar of the Athenian restaurant, where my buddy Rick and I had beers in 1986, my first time in town. I go down below to make sure the bubble-gum wall is still in place. I mourn at the spot where the newsstand used to be. I kick myself for failing to buy an incredibly cool cigar-box guitar from the Soul Cat Guitar guy when I had the chance. (I thought I’d have another chance at his market stall when I visited in January, but he wasn’t there that day.) I listen to buskers and eat unhealthy snacks. I stick my head in the anarchist collective bookshop ( Left Bank Books ), which has somehow lasted 51 years. And like every other tourist, I linger near the fishmongers so I can see them flinging fish and hollering at each other.

2. Capilano Bridge Suspension Park, Vancouver

On my first visit, a few years ago, it was raining and the park was packed. I wondered if the bridge would be closed. Nope. Open, and prone to slightly jiggle as I stood 230 feet above the Capilano River, surrounded by tall trees and mist. When I returned in February, it was snowing, the park was nearly empty and the bridge was still open. The vibe was part “Twin Peaks,” part “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

1. Badwater in Death Valley

(Mark Boster / Los Angeles Times)

Badwater is hot and dry enough to kill you pretty quickly, but as long as you have water to drink, a little shade and a way out, you’ll probably live and have a story to tell. On my first visit, a summer day about 30 years ago, Death Valley was even hotter than usual, around 115 degrees. The power had gone out at our Furnace Creek hotel. Rather than crowd into the marginally cooler hotel pool with scores of young children (and their urine, most likely), I headed with my wife and friends for the vast, flat, salty, dry lake floor of Badwater with a Wiffle ball and bat. The game didn’t last long, but there are photos: Except for our 20th century leisurewear, we looked like biblical figures in the process of being turned to pillars of salt. So last year, when rains washed out roads, closed Death Valley National Park for months, refilled the lake bed and transformed the basin into a great big mirror, I was eager to get back there.

‘I’ve never seen anything like this’: Death Valley gleams with water, wildflowers and color

Two months after a storm that dropped a year’s rainfall in a single day, visitors to the national park are encountering a a strange place made stranger — and more majestic.

Oct. 20, 2023

Within days of the park’s reopening, I got to Badwater for sunrise and came back again at sunset. No Wiffle ball. Just the big sky, the mountains reflected in the lake and a handful of fellow travelers in silhouette at water’s edge. To those bold few who managed to kayak in Death Valley for the three winter weeks that it was possible, I envy you. I don’t know if I’ll ever see that lake again — as of May 1, it was just a few inches deep and shrinking fast — but now I have two layers of Badwater memories to carry with me.

Outer range’s time travel rules just got way more confusing after season 2.

Outer Range Season 2 Reveals What Happened To Rebecca (& It’s Not What I Was Expecting)

Outer range season 2 retcons josh brolin’s character backstory with a time travel twist i didn’t see coming, outer range's abbott family tree explained.

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Outer Range season 2.

• Time travel in Outer Range season 2 is now more mysterious than ever between paradoxes and changes to the timeline.
• The finale indicates the possibility of a rewritten timeline or branching into alternate realities.
• Perry preventing himself from killing Trevor could change everything in Outer Range.

Outer Range season 2 makes the show’s time travel rules way more confusing but also sets up some interesting possibilities for season 3. After introducing a lot of mystery boxes in season 1, Outer Range dove into the show’s sci-fi elements and visited at least five different periods in season 2. Between changes made to the past and Amy becoming Autumn in the future , Josh Brolin’s new Western proves how tricky time travel stories can be to follow.

During most of season 1, Royal was the only confirmed Outer Rage character to have used the Hole to travel through time, excluding Trevor’s body. By the end of Outer Range season 2’s finale , however, several characters had traveled through time with the help of the Hole. This includes Perry, Joy, and Amy, the last of whom was kidnapped by Autumn and pushed into the future.

Outer Range Season 2 Makes The Show’s Time Travel More Confusing

Joy’s trip to 1882 and perry saving trevor change everything.

Outer Range season 2 included multiple instances of time travel, all of which made the show’s rules even trickier to follow. Firstly, as soon as Perry revealed the truth about his origins to young Royal, Outer Range created a paradox in which Royal Abbott already knew the name of his children with Cecile before they were even a couple. This would indicate that time is a closed loop, and the inception of the Abbott family as viewers have known it is a paradox. Royal would only have considered naming his children Perry and Rhett because he encountered a time-traveling Perry.

To make things even more complicated, Perry drastically changes the past in the finale.

However, Outer Range season 2 has also teased the existence of alternate universes, or that at the very least the timeline can be changed. In season 1, Royal revealed that he accidentally shot his father while they were hunting, which led him to run away from his family and fall down the Hole. However, in Outer Range season 2, episode 4, a young Royal in 1886 shot his father to stop him from killing Joy , who was only there because she traveled to the past. To make things even more complicated, Perry drastically changes the past in the finale.

Outer Range Season 2’s Ending Means Its Timeline Can Be Rewritten

Either that or outer range will follow different universes.

Either Perry rewrote the timeline at the end of Outer Range season 2, or the Prime Video time travel show will now follow more than just one reality. Either way, Perry drastically changed the past by preventing his younger self from killing Trevor during the bar fight. Instead, “season 1 Perry” died in the fight, and Trevor ran away. “Season 2 Perry” had to throw his younger self’s body down the Hole and take his place, which should completely change the events of the show. With Trevor alive, Outer Range ’s seasons 1 and 2 don’t happen.

Outer Range season 2 reveals what happened to Rebecca, and the truth about Perry’s wife proves most fan theories about her disappearance wrong.

If what Perry did in the past has a butterfly effect in the show’s only timeline, this means Outer Range's characters could now have memories of a past that viewers never watched on the show. This would explain why Josh Brolin’s character passed out in the Outer Range season 2 finale – Royal’s mind could be trying to make sense of the changes made to the timeline. This would also explain why Joy’s daughter found a black-and-white picture of her mother taken in 1886, although it’s unclear whether Joy was always in the picture or not.

How Does Time Travel Actually Work In The Outer Range Universe?

Can the hole be explained by science.

The rules of Outer Range ’s time travel have not been fully revealed yet, let alone how or why the Hole does what it does. Dr. Nia Bintu referred to the Hole as time itself, as if the actual flow of time could be accessed through Royal’s property. It’s also unclear what the black mineral, which presumably comes from the Hole, does in Outer Range . Another important question is whether the Hole’s properties and powers can be explained by science , or if it is all part of a supernatural storyline.

Royal's backstory changing suggests everything could be different in Outer Range season 3 after what Perry did.

Even if Outer Range ’s time travel has supernatural origins, it is important that the show properly establishes the rules of how it works. Naturally, there has to be a level of mystery, meaning not everything should be revealed all at once. If Outer Range season 3 happens, it will likely at least settle whether changes made to the past create a new universe, or if they rewrite the same timeline. In both cases, Outer Range is shaping up to be a very different show now that time has been messed with so much.

Inadvertent roaming

Inadvertent roaming is when your device connects to a network in a different destination from that which you're currently in. This can happen if you live or travel near to an international border, or on a coastline where you may connect to maritime services. Connecting to another network could mean you potentially pay higher roaming charges.

To avoid this, you can turn off data roaming on your device and look out for any notification messages that we send you. You can check roaming costs on our  Roaming abroad  page.

Inadvertent roaming in Northern Ireland

If you live close to the Northern Irish border, you may sometimes roam onto a Republic of Ireland network without meaning to. 

To ensure there are no accidental charges applied to your monthly bill in this circumstance, we've excluded the Republic of Ireland from our monthly fair use limit of 12GB, which usually applies when roaming in our Go Roam in Europe destinations. This means you'll be able to use your data without fear of inadvertently crossing the 12GB limit.

There are no fair use limits for making calls or sending texts whilst roaming in a Go Roam in Europe destination, and the Republic of Ireland is also excluded from the daily roaming charge.

Yes. You can buy multiple Go Roam passes at once – perfect if you’re going to be away for a while. And they’ll be used in the order you bought them.

Can I buy a Go Roam in Europe pass and a Go Roam Around the World pass at the same time?

Yes, you can buy both types of Go Roam pass at the same time. This is ideal for travelling between Go Roam in Europe and Go Roam Around the World destinations. If you’ve bought both types of Go Roam pass, the first one to be used will depend on your location. For example, if you use your UK allowances in a Go Roam in Europe destination, your Go Roam in Europe pass will be used first.

You Won’t Believe the Sneaky Way I Get 3 Days’ Worth of Extra Clothes Through TSA

It’s the secret packing hack I swear by as a carry-on-only”travel writer.

Travel + Leisure / Reese Herrington

Although I see nothing wrong with checking a bag every so often, I’ve always viewed it as a personal goal to travel “carry-on only” when I fly. It started when I was a kid, flying on my airline pilot dad’s standby passes. My options then were to carry on my suitcase or risk having a bag end up in a city where I wasn’t. Although my standby status expired the second I married my military pilot husband, I still prefer carrying on , whether I’m flying for work (as a professional travel writer) or for pleasure (when my self-induced challenge intensifies as I pack carry-ons for my two kids as well). 

I’ve learned all the packing hacks over the years; I can roll clothes and stuff socks in shoes with the best of them, and I’m a pro at clipping in extras — like mini coolers and water bottles — with my trusty carabiner collection. This is exactly why I bought the Tube Travel Neck Pillow — the multi-use travel pillow you can store up to three days’ worth of clothing in — and wow, did it deliver.

Tube Travel Neck Pillow

Welcome to the sneaky carry-on storage solution that saves you checked bag fees. All you have to do is simply remove the foam insert from the removable cover and replace it with your clothing. Simple but effective, right?

Other neck pillows might be cushier, but they just can’t save you up to $70 worth of checked bag fees for each flight you take them on. I’ve also found it just depends on what you’re stuffing it with — the plusher the clothing (think: sweaters, down jackets) the more comfortable the neck pillow. However, you could also choose to care less about comfort and treat the Tube Travel Neck Pillow as your sole carry-on (especially when traveling on basic economy tickets since there’s no charge for a neck pillow… yet).

Depending on what you’re packing, one single tube can hold enough for three days of clothes. It’s lightweight enough to just toss into your suitcase as a “just-in-case” tool for any trip, like those times your suitcase gets too tight after a few souvenir purchases or as a way of keeping the essentials with you when forced to gate check on full flights.

Everything inside stays secured during travel, and there's no Velcro in the design that would damage clothes. Once loaded, you can bend and twist the pillow into any shape and snap closed to securely fasten around your luggage handle, or just wear it around your neck en route to your flight.

As a mom, I use this sneaky packing trick for storing extra diapers, which, as any traveling parent knows, take up a ridiculous amount of space in a suitcase. I bought the Tube for its versatility as a packing tool and was convinced by its five-star ratings at Amazon for its comfort. 

In the past, the Tube Travel pillow has been so popular that it's sold out at Amazon, but the good news is that if it does, you can get the equally genius Dot & Dot Twist Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow to achieve the same hack. Similar to the Tube Travel Neck Pillow, the Dot & Dot Memory Foam Travel Pillow has nearly 9,000 five-star ratings at Amazon and plenty of praise from travelers, too.

Dot & Dot Twist Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow

One Amazon reviewer said they're a carry-on only flier who used the packing hack, removing the Dot & Dot's memory foam and "replacing [it] with clothes that I would pack anyway" — and they said it "worked like a charm." But let's not discount its comfort when used as a neck pillow with the memory foam inside, either. Another reviewer attested that on a 28-hour road trip, this comfortable pillow was "a life-saver" and the "best road trip pillow ever." Imagine how comfy it would be stuffed with their favorite packable puffer or down jacket.

Trust me, the Tube Travel Neck Pillow is the ultimate hack for anyone looking to maximize their carry-on potential, which is literally what I live for as a frequent traveler. Any time a product can serve two purposes, my ears perk up, and, thanks to this dual-purposed neck pillow, they now rest easily in flight as well. And if you're looking for more handy travel accessories to add to your arsenal, keep reading to find more top-rated products available at Amazon.
