That’s basic. The real challenge is when you have thrice the number of clothes to fit in a bag. That’s when u need to call mom not Butler
trueee
@@ayahiraya correct ....... some people just don't see the obvious.
This for a business trip halfwit
@@ayahiraya Check-in luggage usually cost extra like in domestic US flights. I only get free 2 pcs check-in on long international flights.
Exactly! If she platinum, I'm diamond. I fit an elephant, 3 suits, 5 jeans, 3 sweaters...and who knows what wear ready. :)
Wouldn't it be smarter to put the socks inside the shoes?
Leeuwy smarter yes, but not very appropriate :)
But, you need to fill the gap. If not, your clothes and pairs of shoes become messy, then you need hire another butler service to do that again.
Only when your suitcase is totally filled already I guess.
You my friend are beyond a platinum level packer, you have earned a diamond level
no. You put our cannabis and marijuana inside your shoes.
Who’s packing a newspaper?
I don't think they make those anymore. Must be old footage.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boomers?
The same type of people with a butler
A dog is
Suit at the bottom is a no no. That’s where the bars are in a roller board. The bottom layer should be underwear and socks rolled up to fill the cracks, then your suit on top of the more even layer you have just created.
Yeah I agree. Undergarments, towels and jeans should go on the bottom.
Intriguing.
I put my dress shoes between the bars, to provide some support.
This comment created world Peace
Absolutely agree. I always put undergarments at the bottom.
This is how bored am I watching someone to fill the travel bag
Finally! Someone else that travels without extra underwear!
The rich that can afford butler service don't wear underwear
Of course, bear in mind you can always wear your underwear inside out for a while! xD
outer side pockets maybe but yeh, you can always buy cheap undeware at a druge store at your dest.
@@on2wheels378 at a drug store? what? definitely not in 99% countries of the world
@@humanbeing5918 I was being factitious... It's not that serious on the internet my man. Just like the original comment...
Always wanted to know the best way to pack my daily newspaper.
I don’t blame the WSJ for some product placement
That’s great, if you want to go without any t-shirts, underwear, brassieres. Just let everything flap around free as you travel!
hahaha that made me laugh so loud.
Anyone can manage to pack almost no clothes into a carry on!
the only thing I took out of this video is I need a butler to pack my carry on
Best way of advertising WSJ newspaper (print edition) :)
It's 2am and I'm watching this because of the CZcams recommendation algorithm
1:29 for me
As 26 year airline pilot let me add one improvement - once you’ve folded your shirts in this manner unbutton the first button of the shirt so your collars flex instead of smash.
I do like packing a suit with a dress and high heels. For those nights out with RuPaul.
I didn’t know I qualify to be a *platinum level butler packer* too
This is the easiest part the hard part is what to do when you have dirty and clean clothes
Rashad Reda ppl with butler would pay for those expensive hotel laundry
People with butler just throws it and buy newer one
I bring a cloth bag or ziplock bags for dirty clothes
Just pack everything and remember
Just bring a plastic bag with you! It can literally be just the big ones for the trash lol
Say what you want but there's something with this butler that makes me feel she could organize everything in my life!
She's lovely, but I've packed better.
I travel frequently so I can tell you that packing is about maximizing space. With this method, so many space was wasted like space in shoes where socks could have been placed in. Other gaps could have been filled with sleep wear and gym clothes which is an absolute essential especially to business travelers.
Laptop? Documents? What kind of business trip is this.
I guess those will go in your personal item i.e a laptop bag and not the carry on !
Ajay Khande you’ve never been on plane have you?
Pajamas?!?! Underwear?!?! She forgot underwear!!!
these are for rich people. They upload documents in icloud or google drive and buy a new laptop at every intended destination.
I travel in business trips and you don’t need much. You typically fly in the day a conference starts stay 2 days fly out the day it ends. Laptop does not go in a carry on.....
Wow. Glen Close can play any role.
Clothes for 1/2 days, if travel for 30days, ask the Butler to wash the clothes, haha.
Crazy. She unpacked my bags when I stayed at the st Regis
Goonies Wow, how was your stay?!
That suit will look like used toilet paper upon arrival
still going to had some mark.. when take it out.... just wear the thing... my is waterproof so I don't worry about rain...
She looks a tiny little bit like Glenn Close on Albert Burns
I think the name of the movie is actually Albert Nobbs lol
Nice clip, though I did not see any electronics, which my carry-on is full of (Phones, tablet, computer, chargers, cables, camera, electric shaver, etc etc). What do I really like in the carry-on packing process , is that Colombian Airport agent (a combination of a TSA agent and a ticketing agent), who dumps everything out of my bag (after me spending hours in packing it correctly), X-ray my stuff, then proceeds to X-ray the empty bag, then throws everything back (of course not in order, and overflowing), then I move to the plane, when another agent greets me with a stern face, and check again my bag when the airplane is waiting. So much for careful packing... I finally board the aircraft when all the seated passengers look at me angrily as if I am a cause of any delay, and I am trying to fit my overflow bag in the overhead completely full bean and try to get in my seat where is a woman sitting and refuses to move. In short, no need to carefully pack and how I love traveling.
Tumi bag . The model is MERGE
Marcio Pinheiro Thanks for let us know. I will need that bag for my travel foods lol
Me: Clicked excitingly
After watching: But, this much I already know!
This is honestly such a relaxing video.
Now I need a Butlerto help pick up my bag
Or use vacuum bags for clothes, they're life savers
I didn't come for the video. I came for the comments. Bcoz thats where the REAL experts will be!!!
gracias por este video!! mi amiga lorena necesitaba empacar sus bolsas para un vuelo sin billete de vuelta y le ha sido muy útil ❤❤
This woman has changed my life!
This is so calming
This was very enjoyable to watch.
Roll shirts and pants. Socks crammed in the shoes. Underwear, undershirts, and exercise clothes between the roller bars in the bottom of the suitcase. And then the biggest tip, when you get to the hotel, hang the wrinkled clothes in the bathroom and run the shower on hot to steam out the winkles. Use the suitcase buckles and compression straps if it has them to take pressure off the zipper so it lasts longer. And don't roll the suitcase outdoors (concrete and asphalt) if you want the wheels to last.
Being Indian my mom does this with such ease, I wonder how much should WSJ may my mom for this video?!
Who is traveling with a suit, a dress and shoes? Tell me how to put about 5 looks in this and then we can chat, lol
AlexJuelo It’s easy, you can combined with accesorios and going mixing clothes for new looks and in that way not get the same bored outfit.
I need her to explain packing two checked luggage for a move abroad. lol
This is just basic. She packed for a 1 maybe 2 day trip at most. Ask a traveling consultant for better packing tips.
I just rushed out and got some white cotton gloves, and hey presto! all my packing problems were solved!
I'd like to add: get compression bag and repeat once more because you could easily pack more onto a carry-on. 🤷♂️
Thank you!
This is perfect for me, since I always go commando!
Simply awesome
This lady should do a series
Hair ties for rolled socks are very convenient.
Why would you pack the shoes on top of everything? Aren't they the heaviest?
We need to get Barbara a Briggs & Riley bag for her next demonstration!
Step 1: Cut a hole in the box.
Chicken Tikka Sauce lol
Nicely done. I wish that this was done for at least a week to 10 days. It seems like a two day trip or weekend is not sufficient for a packing video. All in all, Barbara is amazing! #clickbait
Hey, fellow traveler! Your "Pack With Me" video is a breath of fresh air. Your authenticity shines through, and your tips are on point. By the way, have you seen the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It could be a handy addition to your travel gear lineup!
Great video
I’d feel so fancy opening up my carry on @ my hotel and seeing everything displayed that way lol
What if my shoe is Yao Ming Shaq Oneal size?
put it along the bag, not accross
Fold, don’t roll.
Then you're probably in the NBA and a millionaire.
Your butler will figure it out. =)
I love her!!
This was useful for learning how to fold a suit
The Internal spaces of the shoes could have been utilized. I would place the socks inside the shoes to gain additional space.
I am sure I am the only one who picked up that this butler packed carry on for 1 day... When I travel I need to pack for minimum the whole week. I am no expert, however I could 100% pack for the whole week in that carry on.
Everything you need for a 2 day businesses trip!
Wow - that’s really good
I just put heavy things in there because my checked bag is usually to heavy lol
I therefore conclude, I live a different lifestyle from her clients.
Umbrella bags instead of packing cubes are free and convenient for items that can be rolled up.
You know they are professional when you see the gloves
... for someone who lives the kind of life that can afford a butler*. Roll your clothes to fit more in the bag, put things in packing cubes to organize it better, and pack your carry-on like you're expecting not to touch it the entire flight because it's a pain, because let's be honest, you're going to shove as much as you can into your backpack anyway.
The tips were okay but the shirt folding tutorial... That's a mad flex
The real problem is to pack all the used clothes on your last day of the trip. Try make a tutorial on that, it will be really helpful.
This is so useful 👌 and can you tell me about how to get that suitcase? Thanks
elvira muthia Tumi bag. The model is MERGE
Do dryer sheets make good substitutes for tissue paper?
Brilliant. I think the phone charger could fit or other little electric gadgets are better fitted into the meshed pockets in the bag for easy retrieval.
Barbara, I love you! 😀👌🏼
What’s the brand of the luggage
Should have put socks and underwear inside of shoes and then added a pair of jeans, athletic shorts, and two t shirts or something for when you aren’t working.
THIS IS UNINTENTIONAL ASMR
I'd like to know where the suitcase is from tho ~ 🤷♀️🙋♀️
I got a good idea given by another smart person. Put the socks and or other accessories in the shoes. As a filler to keep the shoe shape and to have more room around the edges to put more stuff in. 👍
YuryKim93 👍🏻
I’ve never rolled for a suitcase except for socks to fill gaps and stuff. Maybe PJs if you want. I don’t feel it saves space at all.
If you have to pack 4 pairs of trousers and shirts then you should use the paper bag that clothing store gives. Pack all the 4 pairs tightly in the bag and it won't get creases.
I would think the same people who have a butler packing their carry-on for them, are the same people who have the butler press/steam/iron their clothes for them when they land? Also I’m guessing there’s a check-in luggage not accounted for, since a lot of things seem to be missing in this carry-on..
very good
What is a newspaper?
How heavy is the carry on bag? I need to pack light for 7kg only.
Hmm will try this..
I recently found my 24 inch luggage wasn't allowed (on the first airliner I checked). 22 inches passed. In going into a local courthouse I had my razor blades confiscated and was told the next time I would have my flashlight (could be used as a club) and this can of liquid stuff you spray on cuts (flammable) confiscated.
Anyone try space bags and fit twice as much in there? Or the shirt folding method for drawers?
I'm exhausted. I'll iron when I get there
It’s quite surprising to me that people do know how to pack a bag just at was done in the video. Some consider me an “over packer” but I like options. But trust I can get everything in a suitcase.
I just had a trip and it's hard for me to pack, I am a juggler and trying to pack my clothing and my Juggling pins into a carry on is not easy. I can get one week worth of clothing and my Juggling pins into a carry on. Then I just a personal bag for my essentials. TSA gives me no problems with my juggling pins and I've never been stopped because of them.
Interesting, almost every other how-to-pack video, always suggests "rolling" your clothes.
But video is enjoyable, to-the-point, simple, short, and informative video. And since she sounds French, I'll take her advice.🙃😏😏
Like she said, rolling causes wrinkles which you don't want on a business tri
What about for those who usually carry the entire Wardrobe with them.
Still good tips for a beginner
Details on bag type and model....
Steven Rosario it’s a TUMI Merge International Carry-On :)
How to pack your Barong (Traditional Filipino Wear for Men)?
@austin david Dumlao the same way as a suit I guess?
@@MikhaelAhava ill try to make a video, hopefully decreased wrinkle.
this is like ASMR
No laptop? No iPad?
Never ever put electronics in a suitcase, always keep them by your side, this excludes chargers of course.
That's for your smaller business bag. Always keep those items with you.
Or just use packing cubes.
The.Minimalist.Gamer 👍🏻
Hello! I love these types of videos! My question is... this person is travelling for a day, right? I would not be able to live in that for a few days. I need more items than that.
Who thought your mom could do better 😂
