    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wait till they get to the airport to find out that there's a weight and size limit.
    In all seriousness though, the first thing anyone should do is check the carry-on policy for the airline they're travelling with. If using multiple airlines, use the more restrictive policy as your guide. Then you can determine how you need to pack your carry-on. In some cases, it's more worth it to check your bag.
