Kyle Richards Shares the Magic Number of Shoes She Travels With and the Item She Had Confiscated by Airport Securityv

""That is something that is talked about a lot, because I will often just carry on, and some of the women will say, 'How did you do that?' I remember once years ago, [former castmate] Lisa Vanderpump was like, 'You don't get any brownie points for that.' Well, that's true, but I don't know. I'm always worried if my bag gets lost that I won't have my things, so whenever I can, I try," she told Travel + Leisure earlier this month."

""Of course, for longer trips, she will check a bag or two, and she does rely on packing cubes for her Béis luggage, which she has been using for years. Her other packing habit? Always bringing 13 pairs of shoes. "Regardless of how many days the trip is, and this is the weirdest thing, but every time I get somewhere, it's that same number 13, whether it's a couple days or a month.""

""Richards likes to keep up with her exercise routines when traveling, and she tried to bring some hand weights with her on a trip recently, but they did not make it through security. "Don't try it," she warned. This means she has to rely on her hotel having a good gym with all the right equipment. "I look at how nice of a gym it is, what the hours are.""

Kyle Richards typically packs lightly for short trips, often bringing only a carry-on and sometimes just two bags on luxury castmate trips. For longer trips she checks a bag or two and relies on packing cubes in her Béis luggage. She consistently brings 13 pairs of shoes no matter the trip length. She attempted to bring hand weights on a flight, but they did not make it through security. She therefore depends on hotels to provide well-equipped gyms and checks gym quality and hours, preferring 24-hour access for early workouts across time zones.
