I will not be responding to any more comments about the shoes. lol. Happy travels!!

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!"

It's so refreshing to see a packing video that isn't centered on being a minimalist. Thank you!

[madelion]

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.

Finally. A carry on vid that includes shoes, toiletries, hair straightener and makeup.

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've never flown in my life, just booked my tickets and had to do some research for it. You videos have been insanely helpful!

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.

[samia]

is anyone watching this to get themselves pumped for a trip they’re going on soon?

[g-ramosida]

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.

[TheLmori]

Re enactments are hilarious and also spot on! 😂😂😂

[minnie]

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)

[sateenma]

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.

[SMElder-odcl]

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’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, best believe momma was hot!

[jazziered]

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.
