What's your favorite packing hack you always use when you travel?
Great tips! here's another one for those clothes you would sacrifice for souvenirs, use those clothing items to pack your purchases to ship hoe. We bring some pre-printed shipping labels so that we can, if we need to, ship a box back home, which we have done. And we used clothing items we found we didn't need because of weather changes, ie. a heat wave in Paris in October!! We place a dryer sheet in our carry-on bag and put a few extras in a Ziplock bag so that we can replace them when the scent fades. Another liquid to replace with a solid is toothpaste tabs, they work great!!
🙂
Hello. I always want to pack and carry-on only but my problem is the weight limit on the carry-on. What do you do about that?
Pro tip: use varying sizes of good quality delicates bags instead of packing cubes. No matter what, they will be cheaper, can be stuffed to achieve compression and you have delicates bags ready for any machine washing you might get to do.
And I just use my phone notes instead of a post-it. Various lists: packing list, shopping list (for travel), to do list and a day-of-travel list (don't forget to put charging cords and adapters on there – I'm always using right up to last minute).
The thermal waterbottle is particularly helpful when travelling in extreme cold – can make up a bottle of hot herbal tea to sip all day to help keep you warm
An herb sachet is the fastest way to get pulled aside at TSA and the powder test with the dogs! Just use a scented dryer sheet and save yourself the TSA hassle.
The plastic wrap for jewelry has been my go to for a long time. It is a game changer because I like necklaces and chains, and no matter what they would always get tangled, the straw trick was a pain in the butt and those jewelry cases never work to keep my necklaces from tangling. I just do the plastic wrap instead. It is perfect every time without any effort.
Ooo I love those packing cubes… 😍
Oh the shoe organizer for kids clothes is a great idea, thanks! 😊👍
What about essential oils in glass…how to pack
I found your channel this week and love your content. You give tips and product suggestions no one else shares. Other channels repeat the same stuff. I leave for Europe in two weeks.
Really great tips.i love the realistic view. New subscriber!
I love jewelry and have a lot in my collection. However, when I travel, I don't bring any except what I'm wearing and will wear it every day of the trip. Less hassle. That said, I often buy jewelry when I'm abroad. On my second trip to Greece, I bought a band with diamonds on three sides. I didn't know it was a wedding band until I got home. Fast forward to three years later. My then fiance told me that his parents had his mother's first engagement ring in the vault for him to give to his intended. Sight unseen, I loved the idea of a family heirloom. When he gave it to me, it actually matched the engagement ring!
Good day, I love your videos, they are very informative. I'll be flying for the very first time in a few months time, it'll be an international flight with 2 stops. Can you please create a video on flying for the first time, the whole process from entering the airport, checking in, how to find gates and plane seat, up to baggage claim. I would really appreciate.
APRO TIP when going through the security checkpoint: For electronics like laptops Phones or cameras it is always better to send them last through the screening.. if you send them first before you clear the security.. you might give a chance to someone to pick your item and leave
Write on re: Flying Avianca. Update: yes, they charge for checked bags ($55 ea way = $110 USD,) if purchased before flights. Avianca also is tight-fisted w/carry-on bags. Before trip price is $120 round trip 2 place in over head bins. I ❤your hacks, compression cubes are the bomb! Thank you. The “leave behind” items is another good hack IF they’re clothes in good condition & your camarera or housekeeper cd really use it for her nuera (DIL.) 🏄🏼♂️I’m pack😅ing 4 Avianca flight in 24 hrs for 28 days in Colombia. Attempting to Marie Kondo coordinating outfits & reminding myself I’m going 2 multiple beach cities where no one will know or care that I’ve worn capsule item several times. Last tip: do not pack brand new clothes, shoes you haven’t worn many times. It’s risky & careless to find new skirt is skratchy or new shoes cause blisters.
Great ideas thank you!
I have a question for traveling with an animal, I have a dog that is my emotional support animal, what do I do to help make travel easier for both of us? I have never been on a plane before.
Well you tricked all of us. Nothing different here except for maybe the plastic wrap hacks.
I loved the spices hack 👏 First time Ive seen somebody recomending this and it IS important.
thank you
I thought I knew most hacks, I was wrong ! Thank you 🙏
Great tips! I have those exact compression packing cubes and they are amazing!
This is very useful, thank you.
For clothing all you need are 3 days clothing. one you will be wearing. The second will be the one that has been washed and drying. The third is a spare. When you get to the boarding gate ensure that you are wearing all your bulkiest clothing to reduce extra fees for too much luggage.
You just need to pack cosmetics for 24 hours. They can be replaced at a supermarket or chemist.
Trolley cases are unnecessary. They are overly large and make you a target for staff at the boarding gate. Backpacks carry more and lighter. They take up less space in the cabin lockers. They can be squeezed into a locker when a trolley case cannot.
Trolley cases are take up extra room and prevent other passengers from using the lockers. Think of others and do NOT take a trolley case
wow, great video! really loved the packing tips, they've got some solid ideas. but honestly, I feel like over-packing is sometimes necessary for longer trips. not every hack works for everyone, ya know? sometimes, it’s better to have a few extra options just in case. what do you all think?
hey, great video! the tips on folding clothes were super helpful. however, i kinda feel like some of these hacks might not be practical for every traveler. like, who really has time to roll their socks into their shoes when packing? just curious what others think!
great video! I really appreciated all the tips shared here, especially the one about rolling clothes to save space. but honestly, I feel like some of these hacks are a bit unrealistic for longer trips. sometimes, it’s just more practical to bring a bigger suitcase rather than trying to fit everything into a tiny backpack. what do you all think?
this is such a useful video, thanks for sharing these packing hacks! i have to say though, while i appreciate the tips, i feel like overpacking can actually lead to more enjoyable trips. having more outfit options can really enhance the travel experience, don’t you think?
