I will not be responding to any more comments about the shoes. lol. Happy travels!!
:(
It's all good, Becca. Thanks for sharing.
I hesitated watching this, but I'm going on a trip soon, and I find that I pack too many tops. Your tips are excellent, and I've traveled plenty (I'm not "young") and I could've used these tips then!
People steal too even when you have a lock on your luggage. DO NOT EVER PUT MONEY IN YOUR LUGGAGE....
😂 ...so you obviously got over the limit. 😁🛑👟👢👡
My rule for a checked bag is whatever is in there, you have to be ok with never seeing it again. If you love love love a certain item, then pack it in your carry on. Pretend you’ll never see your checked bag again. And that’s the things that go in the checked bag. We shouldn’t have to do this, airlines should be more responsible but, whatever....you can’t have everything. Love the reenactments, so funny.
Alisa Nicole Yes, yes, yes!! 100% agree. And haha thank you 😂
Everything I pack I love 😭
Lol! @@jacquelynmancera8029
Alisa Nicole that’s my rule too! And my daughters name is Alyssia Nicole, so I had to look twice lol
Which is exactly why I take carry on only. Also packing cubes are a must, such a lifesaver.
Suggestions... 1: Put you underwear in Zippered plastic bag before putting them in your shoes (more hygienic). 2: Put your shoes in a plastic bag first ( hygienic).
Nichie Speaks I was thinking that too! That’s how I pack when I’m going on vacation and it doesn’t run the risk of the bacteria on the bottom on my shoes getting on my clothes
@@kimroach7034 😊 Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Nichie Speaks what videos?
I carry mine in a mesh delicates bag and in a zippered pocket in my carry on.
Yeah I cringed hard when I saw the undies going in the shoes :/
One more hack: fanny packs are considered attire and not a personal item. So you can wear a fanny pack and put a few things in there as well.
Thank u
Grateful for this info
Pro tip:
Put passports and important stuff in your fanny pack so you cant loose them and are super easy to take out.
Coming from an airline agent, Fanny packs are a personal item. Just depends on how strict your agent is!
Can anyone confirm this?
is anyone watching this to get themselves pumped for a trip they’re going on soon?
Yes😊
Yes. I have some kind of weird mental anxiety about packing to go on a trip. Doesn’t matter if it’s for a weekend, week or month; by plane, train, or automobile. I always have good intentions to start the packing process a few days before I leave, but other things come up and somehow that never happens. Knowing I’ll be SO stressed by the time I’m packed makes me not want to go, no matter how much fun it will be when I arrive. I need HELP!
@@user-ei8rb7sj6c same!!!! I get so paranoid that I have to throw something away
Yes!!!
Yep I have 55 days and I’m going on a plane for the first time and I am trying to get as many tips as possible ahaha
I've always thought baggage handling should be added to the Olympics. "There's Joe from United with the 10'8" 50lb Samsonite toss for the world record and gold medal!"
Jeff P 😂😂👌🏼
Lol. Priceless
Jeff P I’m not trying to defend the bag handlers, but since they have very limited time between flights(usually about 45 minutes)to unload the bags and then get the next set of bags on the flight they have to hurry and “throw” the bag around to get them on and off the plane. Also those same bag handlers are usually the people who guide the plane into the arrival gate, go on the plane and clean it, and prepare it for the people getting on the plane to leave, and also guide and push the plane out of the gate. They have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it in.
100% they are some of the hardest workers out there! This was moreso just a tip for people to protect their personal items, no shade to the baggage handlers! I got to work with them a lot as a flight attendant and they were the coolest dudes 👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... or the tiny little lady trying to move my 70 lbs. bag from the scale to the bagge belt behind her 😩.
the only thing I would add is to wrap your shoes in a bag of some sort. Worn shoes next to clean clothes isn't going to keep the clothes clean.
Madeline Maureen Agreed. A shower cap is great for covering the soles of shoes if a proper shoe bag is too much of a splurge. 🙂
I thought that too, 😯😯
Ziploc gallon bags are perfect for me. Worn shoes mixed with clean clothes is simply GROSS! She probably doesn't mind since she laid clean clothes on the floor anyway.
Equally, suitcases on the bed... yuck.
Madeline Maureen Shoes and slippers should wrap with something
Plastic disposable shopping bags, preferably from the place you are visiting.
As a former flight attendant myself I did some things way different from you. I bought shower caps for less than a dollar and put my shoes into them. I also put my shoes at the bottom of the suitcase. In my carry on I always put an extra pair of clothes as you never know when your suitcase will get lost. As for valuables, my advice is don't bring them, especially if you are a tourist somewhere. It will attract pickpockets etc...wear the jewelry you need and that's it. The best thing to do is learn to consolidate. If you get there and find out you absolutely need something you can always go buy it.
This extra outfit advice is 100% on point that's what I was going to say including socks. Even if you're flying from snow to the Caribbean.
Because you never know when you're going to have to make an emergency landing and be stuck overnight and some terminal and it closed the airport freezing to death.
An extra outfit and some socks can save your life.
But some of those valuables people have to take for them are necessities for work so that can't be avoided.
How long where you a Flight Att. And why did you leave? I was gonna ask the TH-camr here, but she has too many comments...lol!
But yes I'm very intrigued as to why some flight attendants quit pretty much right away (or within a year), while others go on to stay "forever" and love it!!! What do you think they love that you didn't?
Hi , I flew for 9 years. I did love it , I got married ended up having a miscarriage on a flight whe working. It wasn't very exciting. Luckily, a commuter who had just finished a flight took over for me for the duration of the flight. Flight attendants have a very high rate of miscarriages.
@@gabrielort3531 I replied but I don't think I replied to you correctly 🤔, I think I replied to my reply so it's there for you! Have a great day!
R. Davis…You nailed it. I used to travel overseas A LOT for work. When you go to places where people don’t know you, it doesn’t matter that you have an outfit per day. No one cares what you wear. You won’t see those people ever again. And if you travel to places where people do know you and will see you every day, they will understand that you are traveling and so wearing the same outfits don’t matter. And 99.99% of the places you travel to, will have stores where you can buy clothing so if it comes down to it and you need it, buy a shirt or jacket or socks. Also if you stay at hotels, they have a laundry service. You can always have them wash your clothes. They usually do a great job at it. You don’t need to pack shampoos or toothpaste. Surprise! They have those things elsewhere. Hotels have them too…for free!
There are clothing made for travel. Quick drying underwear that you can wash at the hotel sink and hung to dry. Light weight Merino wool shirts and hoodies that regulate body temperature and wick away sweat and doesn’t smell. Wearing expensive jewelry or watches or clothing or shoes just make you an easy target. I don’t how many stories I’ve heard from friends and colleagues about their Rolexes or cameras stolen.
When you travel, travel smart and not travel to impress people because no one cares.
It's so refreshing to see a packing video that isn't centered on being a minimalist. Thank you!
Agreed
As my friends and I always say, “I’ve never wished I packed heavier!” Minimalist just makes things easier, especially if you have to handle your own luggage abroad.
Quick tip for yall that check lugggage. Take a pic of all of your stuff before you check it. An airline lost my 1 suitcase i checked and made me write down all of the items i had in there(even specific colors of shirts/dresses) in case it was found they would know it was definitely mine😁
I laughed so hard on the bag throw 😂
DiDIG same 😂😂
Lmao! Me too! 🙄😂🤣🤦🏽♀️
Unexpected n too funny
they be looking into your eyes and throw it🤣🤣💀💀💀
Me too🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Finally. A carry on vid that includes shoes, toiletries, hair straightener and makeup.
I've never flown in my life, just booked my tickets and had to do some research for it. You videos have been insanely helpful!
I hope you had a wonderful trip!
Personal item for me always includes a change of clothes and underwear AND my toiletries. In case my suitcase gets lost I'm not completely stuck.
same. toiletries and makeup, if that gets lost the trip suddenly gets a whole lot more expensive, for no good reason.
I agree completely. I’ve had some flights get delayed and had to spend the night in a hotel room. It felt so good to take a shower, put on clean clothes (undies!), and fix my hair and apply some makeup. And you’re right - replacing makeup can get expensive, even if you grab some from the cosmetics vending machine ($12 for travel mascara!). You just never know...
When flying more than 10 hours international, I'll take 2x change of underwear and 1x change of outer clothes (2x if summer) and some washing liquid in carry-on. I've always thought it was overkill and always did it. On our most recent trip to Australia, our checked luggage was delayed almost a week! I was so glad we each had 2 days' clothing and the ability to wash it.
Absolutely these are essentials....I've learnt from experience!
That's the important stuff 🙂
💀💀💀💀💀!!!! I’ve watched them toss my double stroller & I TRY not to be “that passenger” but the moment we seen the wheel literally come off my stroller, b/c homeboy wanted to practice Olympic shot put, ohhhhh best believe momma was hot!
Numa.K 😮!!!!! Oh heckkkk no!! I would be walking out on the tarmac like EXCUSE ME ☝🏼 LOL
I’m okay with them tossing my luggage but not my stroller. I need to be able to push my kids around when I get to my destination.
Tippytoe - seriously! Esp when your traveling by yourself with 3 kids under 5 😭
Numa.K That was me. I had 3 kids all in less than 4 years. We went to Hawaii and my eldest was barely 5.
Not to mention strollers can run upwards of 100$ 😡🤬
One thing I always do - just in case I have to check my bag at the gate - make sure I have tags with my name and phone or e-mail contact on both the outside and the inside of my bag. On one flight, my tag was ripped off my suitcase, so I take extra tags.
I never check my bags in, and I always use the vacuum seal bags so I can fit a ton in my carry-on. If you don't have a vacuum, they have the type you can roll the air out of. I did that for a 14-day trip.
Last summer, we went to Holland for a week. I used contact lense cases for my foundations and moisturizers. I had way more than I needed too.
Aahh the ole liquids in the contact cases...genius! Love your style
i recently saw this tip and realize I have thrown away so many contacts cases! I rarely travel enough to have keep things so compact (just an overnight so my toiletries take up more space than my clothes). I have a great hanging bag for toiletries that I find hard to leave at home, but for flying, using the smaller makeup bag makes so much more sense. I will look for some of my cases and maybe buy a couple for use in the future. I'm looking at some trips with plane flights in the next year. It's been over 5 years since I have flown anywhere, so it is like relearning efficiency every time I fly. I'm always thinking about what I'm gonna wish I had once I get somewhere. One of the trips will be to a colder climate so i will struggle with packing for warmth since winter clothes take up more space. I know I will just have to wear the heaviest coat I want on the trip and hope it is warm enough (my puffy quilted full length coat will probably not make the trip!)
Good idea! I don't wear contacts so wouldn't have thought of that but I'll now buy a case.
Do a test run. Fill up your travel containers with products you will take with you and then use the filled containers at home for the same length of time you'll be away to see if you're taking too much or too little of the product and adjust accordingly. I only wash my hair every 3 days or so and I'm able to use a smaller bottle than I had been taking. I do allow for an extra day or 2 in case there are flight or other unforeseen delays.
That is a fantastic idea. Was thinking about buying the little containers but will do this instead. Thanks!
Re enactments are hilarious and also spot on! 😂😂😂
I absolutely loved your flight attendant and passenger skit!! Too funny but so true!! You rock girl!! Loved it!! Thanks for sharing and for all the helpful hints and Ideas. Bless your heart.
It truly is amazing what a difference proper packing makes! Good video. It took me many years and many trips before I figured all this out. It's an art, for sure!
All I wanna say is I love the role play demonstrations...haha, the mean flight attendant is hilarious 😂
I don’t need this information anymore but sometimes I rewatch it just for that reenactment scene. 👍🏻
😂
I absolutely love how you have a little travel wallet and a pocket sewn inside your jacket to put it in. I will absolutely pick one wear-everywhere item- such as a chambray shirt- and have my tailor install a little pocket if I travel to a destination where pickpocketing is a major issue (like Spain)
Thank you! My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Denver this summer and will be first time on a plane this was giving me anxiety! Thank you for breaking it down on the best way to pack, how to accommodate for more space and how to store your liquids and jewelry! Also the carry on bad of course
Put Shoes in Dollar Tree shower caps!
Patricia Beetschen I always use a normal bag (preferably plastic) to fully cover the shoes but have found that the cheap hotel shower caps (unused) are useful to use as a food cover for e.g. half a melon, bowl of food...
Patricia Beetschen that what I do instead of buying a shoe bag.
Or those thin plastic grocery bags.
I like that idea!
Great tips and tricks. I'm a flight attendant too. Like you said, bring a sweater and light coat in your carry on as well. Inevitably, the flight temperature at some point will not be to your liking. Most domestic carriers don't provide blankets for the main cabin. If you pack a sweater or light coat in your carry on, you will be comfortable at all times during the flight :)
Yes, and a rolled-up sweater or shawl serves as an excellent back pillow. Plus, during the flight, put that cardigan sweater on backwards. It is easier than pulling on correctly and the solid back of a cardigan covers like a blanket.
I don’t know how people travel with shorts and a t shirt even to cooler temperature parts of the country. The plane is usually cold. I always bring a sweater or light jacket and I remain comfortable plus I don’t like anything touching me and my bare skin be it legs or arms.
The rolling clothes tip is amazing, but I do find that rolling whole outfits together is more practical than single articles of clothing.
You were spot on!! I watched a guy driving a luggage car do a donut spin on the tarmac... and 15 suitcases fall out 🤦🏾♀️
Packing cubes !! They're super afforfable on amazon and save so much time and space in your carry on
Anne-Sophie Gill They are affordable, but, as a retailer, I ask you to: Please Avoid Amazon. Buy from a human being. Save somebody’s job.
If a low price is crucial, try Tuesday Morning, Marshall’s, etc. You don’t have to wait for it, and you kept your money in the community.
Which one would you recommend?
Noëlle Bov EBags
used mine from christmas for Rome just this week and it was so cool because my backpack was less bulky and it made packing so much easier - one cube regular clothes, one cube temple attire for the LDS Rome temple - and packing it all back in there on the last day was soooo easy!
and I reserved the tiny cube for souveniers and candy - what goes in there, I am allowed to buy (magnets, dish towels, aprons and such...), other souvenirs I am not allowed to buy 🤣
@@alhambralions5985 Not all of us are close enough to stores for trips like that for it to not be a colossal waste of gas money. Amazon is a life & money saver for my entire family, not to mention a saving grace from the mass amounts of anxiety I get driving through a city just to go to a store on the other side of it for some packing cubes. Use Amazon if you want, it's not going away anytime soon.
This video was so well made, informative and hilarious. Especially 6:40-7:10😂
Very😂😂
Meghan
Start with the necessities: shampoo and conditioner. Im here thinking of tooth brush and tooth paste as priorities🤷🤷🤣🤣
Build for Glory And here I was asking myself when conditioner was a must.
@@user-qi1ke9qu3m Not all of us are blessed with naturally moisturized & non dry hair 😭 Conditioner is always a MUST
I honestly go to dollar tree once I’ve arrived and then buy my shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant (I’ve never flown but I have had long car travels)
I always see those as something you can buy anywhere lol
I’ve watched a ton of videos like this but I love you best! You’re my kind of person. You talk just enough about it and move on. Thanks for making these!
Great tips. I've also packed an extra outfit (including underwear) in my personal bag. Learned the hard way when bags have been delayed or lost! Happy Travels All!
This video is honestly so helpful, thank you. The skits were so funny XD I really laughed at the gate agent's "aggressive politeness", and the traveler's kind of zoned out/exhausted look and demeanor, they were spot on.
I love how she just yeets the suitcase across the room 😂
This is the best travel packing video I have ever seen on TH-cam. I hate how some TH-camrs have their liquids ALL OVER THE SHOW. I cringe so hard and I imagine all the people that are relying on this information and end up getting hassled by the TSA because of bad advice. Thank you for setting the record straight and doing it the right way so people won't end up late or rubber gloved in unmentionable places...
I will be flying out of the country for the first time since 2009 in 7 weeks and this was so helpful!!! Thank you 🙏
A few things I bring that are suprisingly handy that nobody talks about for traveling is the stasher bag (snacks and water proofing your phone for the beach, also as a cool compress or heat pad)
Hero clip (also small and incredibly multi use, worth the price, binder clips to use as laundry clips, holding a snack bag shut, or blinds or a wardrobe malfunction. also to use as a towel clip for beach chairs (I use the med/big sized ones), TSA approved travel padlock (wire one) a lot of uses for that as well.
Niteize mini s biners with locks (can use these for pool lockers to adhere the key to your swim suit and not have to worry about it. Also useful for "locking" the zippers of your small purse while out on the town to make it more difficult for would-be pickpocketers so they pick a different target.
I use a be quick from jujube as a packing cube for my underthings that comes with a strap so when I get to my destination I can use it as a small crossbody also use a jujube be light as a larger packing cube that is my larger tote or beach bag at my destination.
I use a microfiber towel for my beach towel and a cotton Turkish shower towel which is thin enough to double as a beach cover/sarong I bring 1 ea. So I don't get sandy if I use the other one outdoors on the sand.
Extra wide headband for its regular purpose or a eye mask to keep light out if I want to take a nap, can also get it wet to help keep the back of your neck cool
Christmas decoration suction cup to hang my soap pouch on the side of the shower out of the water to dry.
A few ultra light dry bags instead of packing cubes I use like stuff sacks for a water destination.
I am obsessed with the matador soap pouches.
Toothpaste tabs and powdered dry shampoo are the bomb.
And there's more but I hope this helped somebody!
I LOWKEY watch your videos constantly! Especially when I get ready for travel! Your voice is so soothing and you have such great tips about traveling💖
Love the anchor adaptor! Such a life saver to charge up a phone, etc.
Thank you your video was very helpful. I haven't taken a flight in over 10 years and I am so apprehensive about all the rules in packing these days.
Thanks for the help! Can’t wait to pack for my next trip! (I’m one of the people who is obsessed with packing and making everything organized)
You're hilarious! The impersonations were def accurate. 😂 Great tips especially the one about rolling your clothes. I started doing that a few yrs ago, and it saves so much space.
This helped me so much! Also thank you for not having a long winded crazy intro. You got straight to it! Appreciated.
Very helpful! I’ll be flying for the first time in a month to Europe so I’m thankful I found this video!
😂😂👌🏽, especially the baggage handler throwing the luggage, entertaining as well as informative, thanks 👍🏽.
Trina D LOL. Thank you and you’re welcome 😊
In all honesty, that needs to be made illegal. No airport has the right to damage your luggage in any way, and every single luggage gets tears or scratches from that disrespectful treatment. It boils my blood, and I always file complaints with the airline, and get my compensation.
@@susiechoban1542 so the compensation makes up for everything right? lol
Sir Babz It literally does? What are you on about? Have you ever flown? They pay me for my luggage, or give me an entirely new luggage. I opt for being given a new luggage while the warranty of my own is still applicable, because I can get it fixed for free, and walk away with a new luggage that I acquire for free. If anything inside is damaged due to the damage the luggage suffered, it’s also covered. Learn your rights, imbecile.
Excellent advice! Loved it!😍 Haven't traveled a long time and like no hassle, practical way to do it! THANKS SO MUCH! HAPPY TRAVELS!
I really enjoyed this video! I loved the played out scenes (dressed in character) of what can happen while traveling. The packing methods used and logic behind why it's done was interesting (comparing to other videos on packing I've watched).
Can tell you don't fly budget in Europe, that 2nd bag would never pass as a personal item, it's a handbag/laptop bag size max (some don't allow a 2nd bag at all)
Gayle Provan Yes, it’s hard to speak for all airlines in an 11 minute video but I hear ya!!
I flew economy to France last month with Air Canada and I was allowed a carry on and a backpack
Some do now but check the website.Ryanair do ..but..you have to buy priority boarding and if(?) they'll gone, tough biscuit.
KLM does tho, i always fly economy (sometimes first, but mostly economy)
And some only allow 7kgs total cabin baggage!
As a current FA, I love this. You covered the basics! I have had my bag left in the jetway, when I was commuting to work on a transcon!!! WTF??? This video was hilarious and helpful!
LOL Hahah you get meee! Nice to meet a fellow FA!
Great video! I especially loved the dramatization of the flight attendant and late passenger. On point for both!
Literally love all your tips and tricks! You are an angel.
Randomly clicked on this video to prep for a trip I'm about to take... And saw that we use the same Anker Power Cell! It's amazing.
Matthew Hendrickson Me too!
Me too. Carried it with me on our Disney World . Lasts so long . I carry it with me when I am eating out or waiting on an appointment. I just put my hearings aids on Stream and can then watch a movie or anything else on my phone.
LOL on the characters and acting! Thanks for the helpful suggestions, with realistic amounts (to me).
seeing stuff about personal items was helpful. most videos ive watched only talked about the carry on. im prepping for my first time ever on a plane
I've traveled the world many times, and I've tried 20 different ways to pack literally.
I still change it up, depending on how long im.going.
But I as of the last couple years taking less than I need, and buying it when I get to where I'm going.
To each his, or her own.
Good video
07:31 I LAUGHED SO HARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
my stress level watching these bags thrown off is immeasurable... I cannot believe someone else is talking about it... I thought I was the only one who is annoyed about it 😂😂
Shes low key really funny
I know! I usually have like 3-4 bottles of bordeaux wine in my bag so I deeply understand your stress level:))
I work as an agent at an airline here in my hometown, and it's small, so everyone does several jobs. Sometimes when we have to go from being a counter agent to gate agent to ramp agent we change clothes and head to the job we were asked to do. Working on ramp, I have seen bags fall off the belt loader. Others toss bags because they're so heavy and tossing them is quicker to relieve pain. Then if bags have fragile things in them, they'll be a fragile sign and everyone is pretty careful not to put anything heavy on top of it. We're also very careful with baby items, such as car seats, strollers, play pens etc.
Our biggest thing to remember is that passengers are watching us handle their luggage from the windows. So we try to remain steady and pace our selves. It's not always easy to do that in certain weather. Obviously if it's raining outside or snow and ice makes it sleak we put down ice to reduce the risk of falling, but we're still not suppose to run (common sense) but when it's cold out and we have to make a deadline with our time, YES we are timed from the minute the plane lands, we have a certain amount of time to make sure everyone is checked in before the 30 minute cut off, and NO after 30 minutes, even 1 minute late, we cannot check in passengers, it's not up to us, the system automatically shuts us out from being able to do so. We sympathize with our passengers but there's nothing we can do even if they're a few minutes or seconds late.
After that we're timed to pull the bridge to the plane, to get everyone on board, to put away and take out luggage from the previous flight and also add gate checked bags, all of it we're timed on, and if WE go over that time. We get a late departure and are penalized for it.
Trust me, our priority being agents is to serve our customers to the best of our ability, and we apologize if something goes wrong out of our control or on our watch.
I personally handle bags gently. I'm only 4'9 so I have to be careful anyway.
But sometimes traveling light and making all this space really helps.
This extra research will help avoid the gate agents policy to tell people what can and cannot go.
@@babywaffles9985 I wish you all the best and all the strength to do this difficult job, I'm sorry if my comment was rude, I totally understand your situation and definitely understood more through your explanation... I wish there was an easier technology and easier system from the higher ups so your job would be less tasking on you,,, thank you for your insight and grateful for your help 🙏🏻
( excuse my English it's not my first language 😅)
@@FunSoSoToTo no worries, I didn't think your comment was rude in the slightest. I just wanted to add my intake on it. But her reenactments weren't far from the truth. I have seen people handle baggage that way and it's not something i condone, but it happens
Watching this video before a 14 day trip to GB with carry on/personal item only! Super excited. Another pro tip: you don't necessarily need to pack shampoo/conditioner. To save space, I've just bought items like that once I arrive to my destination.
I do that as well ! :)
Same......go right to the nearest drug store/supermarket
Your role-playing was hilarious! So well done! And an excellent video- thanks for sharing!
I love packing videos! Although sometimes it's not just about the amount you pack, but the weight. And the combined weight of those carry on bags, that make airlines go ''nope.'' Thanks for sharing your tips!
Becca, great video. I like your style 😎: honest and informative. The part about “...you’ll have to check your bag..” was hilarious! THANKS
Loved your '*bucks' cup especially, but you nailed the traveler girl spot-on!...I've had the last leg of my journey be on a prop jet that all (larger) carry-ons have to be gate-checked, this is common in Europe. Good work.
Scouty D 🤣🤣 thanks. Ohh man, those prop planes are the WORST. You know when you see those propellers you’re gonna be gate checking. Ugh 🤦🏻♀️
Very Informative and I love your skits! Your facial expressions were awesome as the traveler and the flight attendant! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this video, I was just going to put most of my stuff in my suitcase, but now I'm rethinking how I'm going to pack my secondary piece of carry on. Definitely with a couple of days of clothes, a pair of pajamas, my makeup and toiletries. Also, I have put a couple of pair of leggings in a ziplock bag, and then squeezed all the air out. Really packs them down.
I like how your showed how they do every one suitcase
Thanks so much for this! I'm going on my first ever plane at the end of March and I'm only allowed a carry-on & had no idea what I could pack. Now I know. 😂
Oh my word, the flight attendant and traveler part...so hilarious!!! I loved it.
THIS WAS A FABULOUS VIDEO! so spot on!!!!!
I laughed out loud when she shows the guy on the tarmac, as he is THROWING the luggage onto the truck!!!! SO friggin' true!
I'm a new subscriber. I travel quite a bit (with husband & kids) in the US & internationally. I'm always looking for ways to be more efficient with packing or make it a better experience. I have lots of stories of checked bags being delayed (or making the flight without us.) We've always gotten things back- sometimes after a few months. It's nice to have what you really need in your carry-on. Your reenactments are hilarious!
Oh man... Sorry to hear about that! I feel ya girl... and Lol thank you so much! I'm glad you're here :)
Hello, I wanted to say thank you so much! I'm going to be traveling in about a week for the first time for work, and unfortunately I will be alone. This has been very helpful and has helped me become mentally prepared. This job I have will allow me to travel a lot through out the year and after this video I am now much more excited. Thank you so much!
Natalia Bruscino My first flying experience was for work about 6 years ago and I was SO anxious that my doctor actually prescribed me 2 .25mg ativan, one for each flight lol. And to be honest I really did need them, that’s how stressed I was! But it really does get easier and more comfortable with each flight. You should definitely sign up for every rewards program for airlines and hotels! Traveling for work can be a perk in itself by just getting to experience the world but the rewards you get back from those memberships while not paying a dime are the best. I haven’t paid for a vacation in years! I wish you the best of luck!
@@Crystalballer21 😊 Thank you so much!!
Thanks so very much for the tips when packing to travel, that is always my biggest hiccups that just cause me to freak out , wish I had seen this three days ago before I travel , but thank God I made it through without any problems or hassles
Great ideas and I so enjoyed your wonderful sense of humor during this video
I laughed so hard at your baggage handler roll playing! Thank you for that!
Lol. This was so good ‘you’re gonna need to check it.’
This is so helpful! I love it 🥰! You don't pack so much make up, and I love how you pack so organized and amazingly. I subscribed!
The Role play at the gate was so funny! Thanks for the video!
Omg!! You are to funny!! I so love your reenactments!! Especially the throwing of the luggage!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The role play part was everything I AM DYING lol
Wow!! What a great video!! Thanks so much for sharing all the great tips and ideas for travel. I really appreciate the ideas for our next flight :)
hi! thank you so much for this video!! i’m currently packing ahead of time for my first flight alone & i was stressing how to make enough space with the idea of bringing back souvenirs. this was so helpful & i was able to create more space because of it! the idea of stuffing boots is genius!! :)
I usually pack my shoes or sneakers in a sandwich bag.And to save so much of space I will never carry a curling iron with me.All I did is to style up my hair with a donut bun or style up with heatless curls by using hairspray.waterspray and braids.Or use scarf to wrap my hair.Leave it overnight.And wake up next morning with a nice curls.I dont pack any shampoo or soap and towels coz hotel do supply us with all those items.
Very helpful tips. I have been rolling my clothes such a space saver. I love your bloopers.
The flight attendant skit was hilarious, cracked me up. Had to watch it a couple times! Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the great tips that you gave me and I will use them when I go on my next trip to see my family in Colorado and you are so much fun to watch your videos
Oh my god the skits, lovee em 😂
Thank you so much for the video! So informational :)
Loved this video! I'm moving continents in a few weeks so looking for ALL the packing advice possible to save on shipping costs!
Carry your gold on your person. If you have anything of sentimental value and it's manageable enough, pack in your luggage. Just remember it might get rifled through or lost.
This was very helpful and hilarious at the same time. I luv the character changes!
Yay! I finally found an expert to answer a very big concern of mine. I travel a lot but usually only take a rolling personal bag for under my seat. I'm going to Hawaii again and was wondering if I could take that plus a carry on luggage and you just showed me I could. Yay, and thank you. I need a bag for souvenirs so this will be perfect.
Lmao! The scene were you were throwing the bags took me out. 🤣 My heart has dropped watching that from the plane! Hahaha
Ohmygoood that baggage handling re-enactment was so goood. Down to the headphones. I loved it. I work in an airport and I see them all the time. I haven't traveled yet but considering all I see, I question if I ever will haha
Saf Ali 😂😂👌🏼
LOVE your little skits...especially the luggage guys! 🤣
I picked up a lot of hints from your video and I’ll use them when I’m travelling in America later in the year - thanks. 🇦🇺
I was on a plane and watched a whole cart full of bags fall on the ground and the guys had a 5-minute conversation as to who would pick them up ( obs I could not hear them but the body language said it all)! That's why I never check a bag. I have a Northface Base Camp Duffel and I used for my 10 day trip to Europe and it was worth every penny.
Marie Kondo's method is good for drawers for everyday, you can see everything all at once, it's not for max fitting in suitcase.
sunshineyellow agree
sunshineyellow If I'm traveling from place to place the Kondo Method works best so I can find stuff. Otherwise I try all kinds of ways to fit the most in. I don't like rolling, too many wrinkles. Packing cubes all the way.
Very helptul! In my personal item I also include things like my extra contact lenses, etc. Anything that I'd be in a mess if it disappeared. Also, extra undies and at least one top. For the carry-on or checked bag, I love the eBags classic packing cubes. They hold so much!
Love the comedy you took the time to include. Everyone can identify with at least one of those!
This was so informative with useful tips. I also very much LOVE rolling my clothes. I'm currently nomading indefinitely with a carry-on luggage only, and some of your tips will help! Thank you.
This was very helpful and VERY entertaining lol your awesome love your videos
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hahaha Thank you! Cheers to Canada! I love Toronto
Very helpful video, I loved the way you planned ,then explained every detail .
