She is correct in saying, “ Be nice to you flight attendants.” I got on the plane, smiled brightly, said good afternoon to the flight attendant; and got a seat upgrade 🥰 . Why people allow themselves to be grumpy or morose while traveling puzzles me.
Hey Stella, I’m a FA also. I’m sure you e heard this or have done this. But, 1 recommendation for packing, especially for over packers, is to pack a small duffle bag in the bottom of your carry on. I’m a shopper when I’m vacation. I also find that I need an extra piece of luggage. That duffle bag comes in handy and takes up no space. Best wishes -Keith AS FA.
At first I thought packing cubes were dumb, like packing extra weight.. but they are amazing! It’s so easy to unpack, or divide a suitcase between two kids.. plus it feels like they save space somehow. Absolutely the best tip!
Reusable bag comes in handy when you're at the foreign supermarkets that don't give you free bags. Also, you can use the Ziploc bags to stash leftovers from the hotel breakfast buffet (or makeup a ham and cheese sandwich) to eat later in the day for lunch, saving you a lot of money in expensive cities.
Callie Masters Foreign supermarkets are doing the right thing by not giving you free bags. Think of the environment and carry your own re-useable bag, like Stella. Also taking food from the breakfast buffet to eat later is a form of stealing.
I love how I’m also a flight attendant and I literally have everything you said before watching this video. It’s so satisfying being organized 😂 when you brought out the ziplock bags I was weak LOL
Nedega Dolma I thought I was the only one who does this. What I do is put my shoes in a gallon baggie. After the trip, I throw out the baggies and then I can put the shoe bags away for my next trip and I don’t need to wash them. I got really cute shoe bags on Amazon, not expensive. Just keeps the bottoms of the shoes from getting clothes soiled.
I got a few, - of you travel very often as flight attendant or me as field service engineer, things like toothbrush, phone charger, flipflops, have them double. And just leave them just in you're travel bags. So you can't forget to pack them. - For Europeans, the euro power plug is magic if all you're electrical devices have that plug in stead of the round one , it fits much often in other countries, as the 4 options for the travel adapter do not work in all countries , the euro plug sometimes fits.
You know I've been watching your vids cause I'm trying to work myself up to going on a solo plane trip. I have really bad anxiety and somehow hearing that you've been a flight attendant for 5 years with 4 trips a month without anything bad happening or planes crashing is quite comforting haha
I'm all about Crocs. I pack one pair of black sneakers, but for actual flying I wear Crocs... with socks... (don't judge me!)... easy on/off at security, morning coffee, stepping outside for a smoke or at the pool/beach. Instead of your bag in a bag trick, I found a lightweight duffle bag that zips into itself and is about the size of a wallet when zipped up. Lastly, I take old/ready to be tossed underwear and socks. Instead of bringing dirty drawers home, I just toss them. Thank you so much for your vids... you make my day... :-)
Using clear Ziploc bags (instead of the"cube bags") will make it easier for TSA agents to do a bag search - if yours is the "lucky" random bag to be searched.
I always pack my Longchamp Le Pliage bag so if I do some shopping I have a large bag to put everything in. Its saved me so many times when my daughter has over purchased stuffed animals on a trip. I make use it as her carry on.
stella, girl!! i absolutely love you and your channel. i didn’t really know what i wanted to do when i got out of college but i’ve thought about becoming a flight attendant and you have made me want to even more!!! i JUST LOVE IT AND GET SO EXCITED TALKING ABOUT IT NOW!! btw your personality is the best:)
I thought I was the only one that liked to visit the grocery store in other countries. That was my first stop in Iceland. With my reusable bag! Some of these tips I already use , some I’m going to start doing.
I keep a roll of 10 vanilla scented trashbags from walmart or dollar store for dirty laundry, wet items, dirty shoes, dog stuff etc. Never know when you will need an extra bag and i agree keep it smelling fresh
Stella, girl you are soooo totally right about the bags! I love ziploc bags and reusable grocery bags soooo much. Even for just everyday things too! They are they best!
Thanks for sharing these wise tips, totally agree with every one. My luxury item is my cowhide/sheepkin lined mule slippers. I have worn them on every long haul flight and in every country I visit. They immediately make me feel right at home in unfamiliar surroundings. Fly safe Stella. Love from London x
A smart addition to a phone charger is a cigarette adapter to charge in a car. I was in LA and I needed my GPS on my phone and didn't have an adapter! I borrowed one from the hotel but after that, the car charger lives in my suitcase!
I always use the laundry bag for dirty clothes and slides in the fall/winter in case I wear socks (instead of flip flops 😜) packing cubes are a good addition, I will try! 🤓🤓🤓
Miss you so much! BTW I pack in the space where the handle goes a pair of Isotoner Women's Satin Ballerina Slippers to wear to breakfast usually in a smaller guesthouse or small hotel.
Your fight attendants are your best friends! Yes! Be kind, friendly, and personable. Be sure she/he knows and understands any issues or problems you may have. They need to know; they want to know. They want to help you. Make their job easier and they will make your flight easier and better. It’s a win win.
Use disposable shower caps to put your shoes in. I always take them from the hotels and buy extras at dollar tree. Takes up less space than shoe bags and you can put just one shoe into a small space as opposed to having to put both shoes in a space together.
Love the reusable bag tip because the province I am living in Canada has banned plastic bags from shopping stores...so bring your own or you'll be carrying your items!
You should unload videos more than just 1 time in 3 weeks you know! I love your videos! You are so nice and positive and just the way to tell people something! Aw, you're amazing!
I was on a trip one time and they asked me to give up my seat so a kid could sit by their mom they said were going to treat you really well if I did which i would have anyway she needed to be by her mom but honestly nothing extra happened special the whole flight so i dont know what they meant by their statement 🤣🤣so Stella what should they have done if anything
Nice job Stella you hit on so many tips I do as well. But after flying for 42 years last 20 with AA I still never left home with out my mini "Crock Pot" . I can provide you with a link if you you'd like to see what Im talking about. Found it so useful in the hotel and the airplane. So many times as you know after a very long day or arriving so late at the hotel there isnt any place open to eat. Its very lite and small fits easily in your suitcase or tote. Made by "CrockPot" about $15 comes in various colors with the power cord that winds up in the base and made of plastic and an aluminum inner pot thats easy to clean.

First saw packing cubes watching Sheri on Cruise Tips TV and thought they were silly. No more, they are awesome. Really great for cruising. I just put them on the shelf in my cabin without really unpacking. Pull down the ones I need when getting dressed. Really only need one shelf for all my clothes!
I'm proud of myself of having all the 8 tips stuff that you have in your luggage and then some. I always bring small flash light and a pair of kid scissors. Those scissors are supper handy! Love the ebags packing cubes. Each of my kids have them too.
thank you for the videos for sharing your life with us .. not much of people can do that sharing everything and with much of love every day... that helps me very much on my life for getting more confidence .. thnk you and i hope i can meet you one day
Stella, this video really hit home for me. My husband is a pilot and it took me the longest time to get him to just leave his chargers in his flight bag! We have so many chargers....I have one in my handbag, one in my work bag, one @ work, one in the car, and one in my overnight bag. He was just so stubborn; it finally took after 5 years. I just bought packing cubes last year. LOVE THEM! I always carry flip-flops because I hate wearing shoes in hotel rooms and at home, (if I'm going to be honest, I prefer going barefoot, but flip-flops are a good option when you can't go barefoot.) I also carry ziplock bags, different sizes. My husband always asks why....then I list the reasons and he's like...ok, i guess. LOL One thing neither my husband nor I do....overpack. We try to use only one bag, (for both of us, which we get checked), when traveling. We both carry a small back pack for electronics, books, a change of clothes, (just in case), and other miscellaneous items. We try to keep them on the "light" side as well. By the way, I love your reusable bag.....Where did you get it? and, Where did you get the 'planes" shoe bag? I love stuff like that. Great video; great tips!
For carry on I bring my luggage long champ le pliage bag as my "personal bag" and a carry on suitcase. I put my blanket that I bring everywhere for trips in that bag which is bulky for just a carry on. However, inside my luggage long champ le pliage bag I also put my actual purse/bag in there as well so once I'm in the airport or airplane I put the luggage bag in the overhead compartment and be stress free. Also great tip for when traveling in the colder months best place to put your jacket without it being stuffed in naked in the overhead compartment!
Stella great tips! I have another one carry a fold up rain jacket in your purse and a mini umbrella to tuck in your carry on. Also to carry your most valuable items in your carry on in case your luggage is lost.
We had to buy smaller suitcases since we could easily hit 50 lbs using packing cubes and be only be 2/3 full. I thought they were a gimmick until we actually tried them. I'm a believer in them ever since that first trip with them.
Hello Stella, I packed for travel a pair of NuFoots, like slippers but not. I ware them all over the hotels I stay at. They take up no room at all in your suitcase. They come in a lot of styles and patterns and when I get home I just throw them in the wash.
Wow, I do all of these things and I’m not a flight attendant, but I have flown a couple of times or more. Good to know, the experts agree. A couple of things I add: ankle socks as slippers, a real mug because many hotels only now have disposable cups and I like coffee in a mug (it has happened that no restaurant on site so I take no chances, I know it’s heavy but worth it). Starbucks instant packs, that coffee is good and much better than in room. I also bring a reusable carafe. 🤗
I always find that packing cubes do not help with space. They take up more space...even the compression kind. Rolling is the best way to pack!! Also the military bundle where u have a whole outfit in a small bundle. Perfect for 3 day trips!!
I put in dryer sheets and it works for a nice smell in my bag and it works for static cling. Then if you room heat/air stinks in your hotel- I place a dryer sheet on the vent-
Hi, Stella, Yes, shower caps over the bottom of shoes is a great way to keep your shoes from getting your clothes in the suitcases soiled. Thanks for your info.!
Enjoyed this video Stella! I have been flying as a Flight Attendant for quite a few years, and always thought I was a great packer. Well, I am a great packer, lol but the packing cubes, yes I need these!
When I go back to the states my bag is pretty full...but I usually have a couple bottles of wine and other gifts for family and friends. I give those gifts and then have room for things I can only find in the states!
I always use packing cubes because I can use one for my dirty laundry! Then I can just dump the whole thing (including the cube) in the washing machine when I get home
Love packing cubes! Before they came out with those I would use the plastic zipper bags that sheets came in to pack big things in my suitcase!!Shoe bags are also a must have. I just need to learn to pack light. I’m an overpacker! ❤️✈️👙👗👖👠
Wow you nailed it! The only thing I haven’t done was rolling my clothes but I will from now on. Great tips! Thanks Stella! 👍🏼✈️ btw.I ❤️ love that reusable bag and ordering it! The only other packing tip I would say is to use a clear bag for your liquids going through security. It makes going through TSA a lil faster.
Hello Stella!!! You have such a beautiful soul!!! You are contagious with your positive vibes and that lovely smile!! I enjoy your videos! Hugs from Australia. xxx
Check out Stasher its a women owned business that produces reusable ziplock bags its fully silicone great for snacks just just miscellaneous items like chargers, AirPods and it's frosted so you can see through it little bit!
I love your reuable bag :-) Soooo pretty! I tried those puches that you can vaccuum and they work great at home, but you might have a problem, once you fly home, cuz you need a vaccumer.
Hi Stella.... I'm new too ur Chanel.....I LOVE IT !!!!!! I'm not a flight attendant are anything...I don't even know how I came across your Chanel. ??? But your stuck with me now ! Xoxo 💋
Awesome vlog Stella! This sounds crazy, but here's a tip you also should tuck some money away in your suitcase like in a hidden pocket just to have as a back up. I have done that everytime I go on a trip somewhere.😊
Randy Roach Jr : Sorry but there is no such thing as a hidden pocket in a suitcase. Thieves know every suitcase out there (including fake liners and fake compartments) Trust me, my luggage got “lost”. Never put money, jewelry, important docs or medications in your suitcase. Also keep them in your backpack or purse that is on you at all times. Unfortunately employees of the airlines are thieves too. Many employees don’t care if they are fired for stealing as many of them were going to quit anyway, hence going out with a bang.
Thanks so much .I’m starting as Cabin Crew at the Age of 55 so this is really great advice x
She is correct in saying, “ Be nice to you flight attendants.” I got on the plane, smiled brightly, said good afternoon to the flight attendant; and got a seat upgrade 🥰 . Why people allow themselves to be grumpy or morose while traveling puzzles me.
I somehow always see the pilots and the flight attendants and always smile big. They really appreciate it when we say hi and have a great flight.
hey stella, happiest most genuine person on youtube! you take positive vibes to a whole other meaning!! love from new orleans, la xoxo
Aww 🥰 thank you so much!

Yes 🙌👍
Do hotels let you pick food for latter? In the ones that I've been you just can eat at the hotel buffet zone

I love how I’m also a flight attendant and I literally have everything you said before watching this video. It’s so satisfying being organized 😂 when you brought out the ziplock bags I was weak LOL
I put shower caps over the bottom of my shoes so I don’t get the inside of my dust bags dirty. 😊
Great tip!!

Fly With Stella Thanks! 😃
Mary Elizabeth I put my flip flops in a gallon-size baggie inside the shoe bag in case I need to pack them wet. I use them for shower shoes at hotels.
I do the same thing! I save all the shower caps from hotels.
I pack a 5’ extension cord so I have more outlets in places I can use them.
This is a great idea!!!
I buy shower caps at the dollar store (8 in a pack) and cover the bottoms of my shoes.
Free at the hotel desk or already in your hotel bathroom
Interesting idea, but a shoe bag will mean less unnecessary single use plastics.
Why buy shower caps when you can reuse your plastic grocery bags?
I do this too
@@danm21healy3 been using the same show caps for years for my shoes
I got a few,
- of you travel very often as flight attendant or me as field service engineer, things like toothbrush, phone charger, flipflops, have them double. And just leave them just in you're travel bags. So you can't forget to pack them.

They do really help with maintaining your case!!! Great video!!!
You should make this a series.
Good idea! What would my next video be? 🤔
Using clear Ziploc bags (instead of the"cube bags") will make it easier for TSA agents to do a bag search - if yours is the "lucky" random bag to be searched.
I was just thinking that I haven’t seen any Stella for a while, and here you are! 😁
Thank so much Stella. I also have a stocked toiletries bag permanently left in my travel bag.
I use shower caps from the dollar store for my shoes. Works great!
You have such great energy! Thanks for the great tips!

Dollar tree has shoe protectors that come 12 pair in a box , i also use them to cover food
I did not even know about packing cubes. I will order then. I travel frequently and really appreciate these tips.
As a wheelchair user I pack in backpacks so I can sling them on the back of my chair.
I love your videos!! I’m from Puerto Rico I send you a big hug!!!
Sending you a big hug too!
Love the reusable bag tip because the province I am living in Canada has banned plastic bags from shopping stores...so bring your own or you'll be carrying your items!
OMG Stella. I love you and your personality. If I were ever on a flight and had you and Francesco I would literally pass out lol.
Packing cubes are a gamechanger!!!! I love them SO much!

I love packing cubes absolutely and shoe bags are a MUST!
I’ve learned the hard way . Went to London and they had no bags in the little market places .
Great advice. All sound. And you are convincing me to buy packing cubes. Will definitely do it!

Use a shower cap (8/$1 @ dollar tree) over the bottom of your shoes, that way you can separate the pair and stick between handle bars @back of case.

I love your reuable bag :-) Soooo pretty! I tried those puches that you can vaccuum and they work great at home, but you might have a problem, once you fly home, cuz you need a vaccumer.

they are all excellent tips Stella.... another fabulous vlog from my favourite you tuber.....
Awesome vlog Stella! This sounds crazy, but here's a tip you also should tuck some money away in your suitcase like in a hidden pocket just to have as a back up. I have done that everytime I go on a trip somewhere.😊
Randy Roach Jr : Sorry but there is no such thing as a hidden pocket in a suitcase. Thieves know every suitcase out there (including fake liners and fake compartments) Trust me, my luggage got “lost”. Never put money, jewelry, important docs or medications in your suitcase. Also keep them in your backpack or purse that is on you at all times. Unfortunately employees of the airlines are thieves too. Many employees don’t care if they are fired for stealing as many of them were going to quit anyway, hence going out with a bang.
Love your energy. Great video.
Your tips are awesome!! Keep em' comin!!😁😘
