Kimmie explained: "Pack a smaller tote bag in our carry on only with essential items for your flights."
She explained this could include phone chargers, headphones, face masks, wallets, books and pens.
She continued: "Put it back in your carry on to board along with anything else not needed during the flight.
"When you get to your seat, quickly remove the bag along with larger items like computers.

"Enjoy leg room unhindered by a massive bag."
People in the comments thought it was a great idea.
One person wrote: "That's a good tip! I'm going to Scotland in March and hate all that crap at my feet."
Kimmie replied: "I was always trying to squeeze in my foot beside my bag, I hope it comes in useful."
However, someone else didn't agree, saying she was a "jerk" for taking up the space for two items, although others said this wasn't the case, as she put one in the locker and one by her feet, which is allowed.
Kimmie's previous travel tips included how to get the best view of the Pyramids in Egypt - and it involved a KFC.
