She explained: ‘I pack a duffel as my personal item and inside I keep a pouch with everything I need easily accessible’
In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 5.2 million times, Lindsay quickly launched into her list of top tips.
Demonstrating with her own luggage, she began: ‘I like to call this the bag within a bag.
‘I pack a duffel as my personal item and inside I keep a pouch with everything I need easily accessible so you don’t have to keep digging back into your bag anytime you need something.’
Next, she continued: ‘If you‘re doing a long-haul flight and you’re not using compression socks, you’re doing it wrong.
‘Personally I’m just not into the cankle aesthetic and that’s why I love compression socks.’
The keen traveler then shared yet another hack as she poured electrolyte powder into her water bottle.
‘I do not enjoy peeing every five seconds on a long-haul flight. That’s why I always bring these electrolyte packets – helps keep me hydrated without having to drink like a gallon of water and it also balances out the wine,’ she joked.
But Lindsay did not stop there with her insights as she then whipped out her face and lip masks.

She said: ‘I prefer not to look like a haggard worm when I land after a long-haul flight, so I always use a nice sheet mask.’
The content creator said she carries out her beauty routine – which also includes a lip mask – even in economy, adding that she doesn’t care about what other passengers might think.
For Lindsay’s final hack, she explained: ‘If you travel a lot or if you have an annoyingly loud coworker, get the Bose noise-canceling headphones. T hey will change your life.’
Lindsay proudly captioned the post: ‘Shamelessly sheet masking on planes since 2012.’
Her video was quickly flooded with comments as followers thanked her for the helpful tips.
One person wrote: ‘My family makes fun of me for packing bags inside bags #feelingunderstood,’ and Lindsay responded: ‘They’re obviously not on our level of *strategy*’
