I bought adhesive plastic envelopes that hold index cards for my compression cubes so i could label what’s in each bag. Helps me make sure I’ve packed everything I need.
well…I was waiting for the big reveal at the end, and it never came. Which method did you find took up less space?
And I bet that you look like you pulled your clothes out of a wrinkled clothes basket.
Thank you for your informative video. I’m an infrequent traveler so I find your tips very helpful. I think your cute dog doesn’t like it when you pull out the suitcase; it means Mommy is going to be leaving again!😢
Thanks. Have you done a video on packing when airline has weight requirements for carryon.
Assuming you aren't eating in the formal dining room either?
Thank you dear Laurie! I tried all 3 methods after pressing and let them sit in cubes for a week…. They are All surprisingly not a wrinkled mess. You rock!❤️
I’m a huuuuge fan of compression cubes. I pack a bottom or two and all the tops that go with them, into one cube. That way I just pull the cube and have outfits ready to wear, without fumbling and trying to decide. (For less mess during selecting, I roll my tops and place them on the bottom of the cube and then fold the bottom or bottoms on top, before zipping up.) – I also pack a cube with the other tops that go with my travel day bottoms, as well as several undies, a few socks, my pjs and a pair of yoga or sweat pants… and then place that into my personal item bag, just in case my bigger carry-on or my checked bag aren’t arriving with me. That way, I have something to sleep in and to change out, for a few days, until my bag gets to me or I’ve had a chance to find and shop for some replacements.
A trash bag works for dirty clothes.
Pup knows you're going somewhere.
Laurie, I see the majority of these videos showing how to pack on just carry on, which is the goal BUT airlines also have weight restrictions on carry ons and seems them not attainable. I haven't seen a video where the carry on is weighted.
Im going to Spain and the airline restrictions is 22 inch carry on with a 23 lbs weight. 😢😢 that's crazy. The personal item only of 4 lbs. Lort, my daily purse weight more than that😭
So I enjoyed your video, but I didn’t hear the results. Were you able to stuff more in your suitcase with folding or rolling or compression tubes?
What I usually do is I fold my clothes on the way to my trip and I roll them all on the way back so I can put some souvenirs or other things I bought because there’s some room left. 🙂
when you did the folding you folded them so many times it almost look like you rolled them so maybe it’s not a true comparison between folding and rolling ??
Your a cute little dog seems to walk back-and-forth across most of your videos while you’re making the video.
I use compression cubes. It's much easier to unpack that way. I buy clothes that won't wrinkle. But my next trip in a few days is mostly a beach trip, so I only need swimsuits mostly. There are washers and dryers in the room so I am doing laundry twice. We have a red eye back.
I use a mix of “rolling” & folding in the medium, large and one longish cube. The “rolling” is more like the burrito fold the Kon Marie teaches. But I use that technique for my daily clothing. So I’m pretty fast at it. And my mamma is happy I’m organized 😁☺️ The thicker clothes I fold such as sweat shirts or sweaters or jeans. I do not use compression cubes because I use check in. I manage the weight of my suitcase to be under 45 pounds. I also make sure I weigh my suitcase before I pack. So I know the difference I have to work with.
Am loving your travel hacks! Haven't flown in 30 years, so these are really helping! Thanks!
I do a hybrid of cubes and rolling, just socks/unders, swim and sleepwear, and maybe a dress cubes. I have chosen to simply pack less and wash clothes more frequently and for me it works
How's this? I roll my clothes and then put them in a packing cube.
Hi from Ohio Love all of your videos.
Every travel video I see seem to be for average size people. I’m 6’3” tall and weigh 220#. One of my shoes are larger than a pair of my wife’s shoes. Maddening. I’m about to take a 17 trip and think I’m just going to wear flip flops, tee shirts and gym shorts. Oh, I’m going to a cold climate!!!
Your video is good if the airline go with size but not weight
If your packing by rolling you minimized weight yes packing in side a bag minimized space but will gained weightvwhivh is why you have to not do since weight is the norm
This lady's packing is untidy. I think she should practice more.
Good idea…i have been traveling to USA…Holland. since 1984….paris..London.
.Canada …Guyana…sometimes..on holiday…..but i never buy new clothes for every time i travel…i always mix and match my clothes..don't get me wrong i buy new clothes…but not special for a trip…i will be going again to the USA in September to visit my sisters …and i am going with just a carry-on because its a connecting flight..i don't want to be bothered with check-in suits cases…😊
So much for the title being in the video….it was just a bunch of “hacks” that are common sense tips. So which is best, rolling, folding or packing cubes? UGH what a waste of time
What is your recommendation for a tech bag like what brand? We just got back from Atlanta and were in the mix of the nightmare where everything went down. I thought of you and your husband and how he is an airline pilot and wondered if he was mixed up in all of that. Thank you again for all that you do. I really have learned a lot from you.
