You got this! 😃 points for doing your research ahead of time! ❤️ I would say just give yourself plenty of time by arriving early to the airport and it will help :) Part 3 is coming out this Wednesday so it will have more tips for you! 🙂
I am facing some anxiety thinking I might end up lost in the airport because it's my first time traveling via airplane and it's international. I am not good also in sense of direction so I really wanted to overcome this fear and somehow this is my chance to become financially stable cause I will be there as a worker. 😇😊
I've been on a plane a few times but I was always with an older relative, but I'm going to be moving to a new country alone soon, so this is so helpful
just as a tip- I listened to so many of these videos before I flew for the first time, I checked in online and only had carry on luggage, so I skipped the check in counter but while boarding they needed a physical copy of my boarding pass and they told me I had to check in at the desk even if I checked in online because I was going from uk to Australia lol and they were all super mad at me so I recommend double checking especially if you don't live in the us or if its a super long flight
I’m watching this since I have a trip coming up in a couple months. I’m so nervous because it’s my first time flying by myself but I’m happy I came across this video, thank you!

I’m flying across the country this Saturday; it’s not my first time travelling by air alone but it’s been almost a decade and my travel anxiety has skyrocketed since then. Thank you for this!
I won't be flying for probably a year minimum, but even so your guide is incredibly neat and short n sweet! No unneccessary personal stories that take up time, straight to the point! :D

This video is much appreciated, I will be going to Hawaii next week on August 20th. I haven't been on an airplane in a while, it's not my first time but I always get lost in the airport. I always tend to ask someone who works at the airport to guide me to the gate. I'm super excited for this trip!
Something I suggest if you are young (in teens) traveling alone is to dress slightly older than your age. If you look more adult you blend in more, but if you are obviously child looking it makes you more susceptible to creepy people, singling you out.
Thank you so much for this, after having turned 18, I’m now going to visit my partner who lives in a different country. I’m going alone and I’m terrified lmfao
I got stressed out so much I literally had so much stress because I don’t know how to travel with my mom and when I found this I lost so much stress tysm you got a sub and like🎉❤🎉You are the best sorry I made a mistake I mistake in this writing I fixed it
You don’t always have to remove your shoes in security. At least not in Europe. Things I do before getting to security. 1) put any unnecessary items in my bag. This includes phone, wallet, belt, glass etc. 2) Take out liquids bag, and laptop.
I checked for the airport map on the airline app I'm flying to. I always bring my refillable water bottle❤ I try to explain to my daughter how the gates, and terminals work but she doesn’t understand. This is going to be very helpful! Thank you 😊
I’m a mom (43) but have only flown 1x before but had my husband to do all the work. Now I’m having to fly with daughter. I’m really nervous/insecure. Is this normal for a parent? Also I love this lady’s video!
thank you so much for the tips! I am going on my first solo trip with my toddler this year and I am freaking out hahaha we're flying international to Japan and it will take 14 hrs 😂
Thank you for this. I'm flying for the first time in two weeks, and I have a lot of anxiety. I watched someone else's video and it made me even more nervous! But you explained everything very clearly and now I feel much better.
Thank you for this..! I’m 16, never been on an airplane, neither have my parents. We’ve been to the airport maybe 2-3 times to pick up family members. I’m traveling on my own, internationally!!! My parents both have work in the morning so they cannot stay with me until I board on the plane.. my dad is literally just gonna drop me off and I’ll have to figure everything else on my own.

Hi! Great question! I would say it’s usually just laptops and then sometimes they also say battery power banks. Very rarely have they asked me to do every single electronic (like a camera battery) minus maybe a couple random flights. I would say pack it all in once place so it’s easy to get out of your bag and then the security person will usually be telling people what they want out!

I haven’t flown in 28 years. This was very helpful!! When going through security, do I have to take my laptop out of the case along with all my chargers (laptop, kindle, phone) or can I keep everything in their zipper cases when putting them into the bin? Also, is there usually an area where you can organize your stuff after going through the scanners so as to not hold up the line? 😬
Thank you! This might be a stupid question, but when we're supposed to go through security, do we add the phone as well or just the electronics that are in our luggage?
Hi. Thanks for all your tips. We are traveling to the Philippines in 2 months; do you have any tips for handicapped travelers? My husband needs wc or mobility scooter to get around. Your response is greatly app. Thank you.
Hello! Wow Philippines in the spring will be so wonderful!! My friends are going in May! I would say try to call ahead at the places you can and they will likely help you a lot! Like airports and tours etc. 🤗 then the rest really depends on what you are going to be doing and where you are going :D I would say the cobblestone in older places like Europe for example are much harder to manage than regular flat floor too 😅. I work a lot in the clinic with wheelchairs and that is what I recommend!
Ive never been on a plane. Im nervous about the takeoff and how itll make my stomach feel lol for referemce, a swing set make my stomach feel like im being stabbed. The dropping sensation hurts. I hope the takeoff feels smooth
I do that as well and get mobile boarding pass however I always like to visit the counter anyways because I’m always worried the rules will change lol. Plus if you have a check in bag you need to go to the counter :)
Another question, sorry!! You said that if they think anything is weird in your luggage they would open it up, that means we should not use those locks the luggage come with, right? Would the people at the security ruin your luggage if you have a lock on?
The security people have a very special key! They can open up the TSA approved locks which usually have a tiny hole on the bottom! 😃 So as long as your lock is tsa approved, you will be fine 🤗
Are the seats always assigned? I've only flown once, but we were allowed to just sit wherever. Maybe it depends on who you're flying with but I just want to make sure I'm prepared
@@buildyourmoxieOkay thank you! I was also wondering if the process is any different flying alone as a minor? Again i'm sure it's a little different depending on who you're flying with, but I saw some things about needing to have someone at the airport when you arrive to pick you up and maybe some other things. I'm 17 if that makes any difference.
@@Simply_Mars you should be fine if you are 17 for most airlines. Are you traveling domestically or internationally? It would be different if you were 9 years old but 17 should be fine. I would still do a google search for your airline just in case :)
@@mandyv.292 if it is kind of pastey like a slow paste then yes! If it’s a chapstick type where it is kind of solid like lipstick then no 😃 If it’s powder or blush then no :)
Sooo I have to take out my iPad of my carry on put it in the bin can I keep my Apple Watch on or no? And is body piercings okay to keep on? I’m so nervous bc I’ll be going threw security alone since my momma has a machine in her stomach not to mention it’ll be my first time flying and I’m antisocial and have mini panic attacks when I’m not next to my mom not to mention I’ll be 16 yet I still feel like a child child and I get overwhelmed overstimulated so easily and I will literally cry and have a mental breakdown like I’m so unstable if a lot of people will yell at me or tell me what to do I have ODD
I'd definitely take OFF the watch. Or better, just don't put it on at all till after security, just pack it in your Carry-On. Same with your belt, don't bother putting that on till after security. And don't have anything, anything in your pockets, not even a tissue, nothing. Also try not and wear any clothes with metal on them if possible. Jeans should be ok, lots of people wear jeans so i assume they calibrate for that. Is it alot of body piercing? If it's alot it might set off the machines, but since you said your mom has an implant , you guys will probably be pat down anyway, maybe. Your gonna have to inform them of the medical device right away.
I have a question! I need your help because I’ve been so anxious and worried lately. I’m traveling as a minor with my little sister. My passport expires September 8th and my flight is July 13th. I’ve read and researched that for the Dominican Republic, as long as I come back before the expiration date they will let me on the plane? Is that so? I’ve been so stressed and get anxious easily.
Eeek. So sorry you are stressed 😖 Each country is super different! Some want you to have at least 6 months before it expires, some are 3, and some don’t mind as long as you beat the expiration date You leave July 13 and what day do you return back?
@@AlexaStar-lf7fc okay that’s good you come back in July and not too close to September. Yeah I would just do lots of Google searches for Dominican Republic. But in general usually countries are okay sending you back to the states after 😁
I agree with this!! 🔥When I pack too early, I end up needing a lot of the stuff I am packing 😁. But some travel stuff that I only use for that purpose I’ll stick it in a corner of the room so I don’t forget 😝

You can bring cigarettes but they may not allow lighters. Some airports allow a small one but most don’t! Vaping has to be on your carry on but you can’t use on the plane or any kind of smoking or else you could get charged $$$$$ from fees
I’m so scared about the first check in part where u take off ur shoes or something and put ur stuff in the basket to get thru because everytime I’ve gone to the airport even my parents don’t know how to do that part and often do it wrong causing the ppl behind us to get annoyed and it’s so anxiety inducing I rlly wanna avoid and do it right
Scared of what? You litteraly just go to tsa, scan boarding pass, move up take shoes off/jewlry/stuff in pockets and carry on or purse, put it in the bin. Security scans you, and pats you down. If everything clears your stuff go through😊 conveyer belt and boom done: get your stuff put shoes on go to your flight gate.
You got this!! Just keep your bag organized. Liquids together in a quart size zip bag. And then electronically easy to take out. Shoes off. No metal on your body 🥰. And then just listen for instructions and watch others ♥️
So I'm taking a cross country flight next month that is going to be roughly four and a half hours. It's not the first flight that I've ever taken, but it is the first one that I've taken in about fourteen years, so I'm a bit lost. I've read that neck pillows don't count as your carry on or personal item. Is this accurate? Also, can you take a neck pillow and a lumbar pillow? I have pretty severe chronic pain and understand that flying in the main cabin (not sure if this is any different from economy) isn't the most comfortable, even for healthy people. If need be, would getting a note from my doctor help make things easier? I'm taking a Delta flight for reference.
Hi Ben! Some airlines are different. Some want you to have your pillow inside your personal item or carry on. If you have the puffy ring one and can’t fit it inside your personal item or carry on, I recommend just wearing it on your neck as you pass the boarding people to get on the plane. I’ve never seen anyone tell a passenger to take it off. You just have to pass the people that scan your boarding ticket then you can take it off your neck lol. It’s very common for people to bring pillows but I always take the extra step to wear it just in case the scanning people are in a mood lol. Sometimes you can hook it onto your luggage handle but I’ve seen some airlines tell you to put it in your bags hence that’s why you can wear it. I use the trtl pillow because it’s very small. amzn.to/45eotba Also I recommend using a sweatshirt for lumbar pillow. And sometimes international flights will provide one. Here is a video I think will help you ua-cam.com/video/V9YMcGoQjZw/v-deo.htmlsi=bqidLn6r-7cmDdLc
If you’re traveling domestically do you still need your passport to show at the counter? Do we just show them our online boarding ticket, drop off the bag, and they’ll give us our printed ticket?
Are you from the United States? If so, you just need drivers license (Real ID) Go to counter when you get there to drop off bag. And they can print you a paper boarding pass if you want.
@@buildyourmoxie ok, thank you! And I heard something of giving a plane confirmation number to the worker. Is that number used to check in to our flights?
@@grapeleiva2266 as long as you have ur boarding pass, no worries :). The boarding pass has everything on it that you need. To get the boarding pass you need your ID When you board the plane, the people will scan it.

I’m so nervous bc I’ll be going threw security alone since my momma has a machine in her stomach not to mention it’ll be my first time flying and I’m antisocial and have mini panic attacks when I’m not next to my mom not to mention I’ll be 16 yet I still feel like a child child and I get overwhelmed overstimulated so easily and I will literally cry and have a mental breakdown like I’m so unstable if a lot of people will yell at me or tell me what to do I have ODD
I'd definitely take OFF the watch. Or better, just don't put it on at all till after security, just pack it in your Carry-On. Same with your belt, don't bother putting that on till after security. And don't have anything, anything in your pockets, not even a tissue, nothing. Also try not and wear any clothes with metal on them if possible. Jeans should be ok, lots of people wear jeans so i assume they calibrate for that.
Is it alot of body piercing? If it's alot it might set off the machines, but since you said your mom has an implant , you guys will probably be pat down anyway, maybe. Your gonna have to inform them of the medical device right away.
Question: If you're going through security and you have an empty metal water bottle, do you still put it in the trays?
You can keep it in your personal item :) no need to pull it out as long as it’s empty!

I have a question! I need your help because I’ve been so anxious and worried lately. I’m traveling as a minor with my little sister. My passport expires September 8th and my flight is July 13th. I’ve read and researched that for the Dominican Republic, as long as I come back before the expiration date they will let me on the plane? Is that so? I’ve been so stressed and get anxious easily.
Eeek. So sorry you are stressed 😖
Each country is super different! Some want you to have at least 6 months before it expires, some are 3, and some don’t mind as long as you beat the expiration date
You leave July 13 and what day do you return back?
@@buildyourmoxie I come back the 31st!!
@@AlexaStar-lf7fc okay that’s good you come back in July and not too close to September.
Yeah I would just do lots of Google searches for Dominican Republic. But in general usually countries are okay sending you back to the states after 😁
@@buildyourmoxie thank you so much!! Wish me luck ahhh 🫶🏻❤️❤️

What if I don’t have passport ? It’s domestic flight
Any government issued id will work :)
Identification card or drivers license :)
Passport is for international you dont need if flying in the states

Don't pack your luggages 6 days or more before your trip ill suggest 3
I agree with this!! 🔥When I pack too early, I end up needing a lot of the stuff I am packing 😁.
But some travel stuff that I only use for that purpose I’ll stick it in a corner of the room so I don’t forget 😝
@@buildyourmoxie thats what happened to me during my domestic trip.
I’m very forgetful

Braids hair? What do u mean
Oo for security? Braided hair can look thick. So they might squeeze the braid to make sure people aren’t sneaking in a weapon in their hair :)
@@buildyourmoxie ho really?? I didn't know that,all airports?
@@4642529 not all airports :). My hair gets checked sometimes if it’s braided. Los Angeles most common for me.

if youre going to chicago o hare and thats not your last destination....
youre in a world of hurt emotionally.
Is it okay to bring cigarettes with you?
You can bring cigarettes but they may not allow lighters. Some airports allow a small one but most don’t!
Vaping has to be on your carry on but you can’t use on the plane or any kind of smoking or else you could get charged $$$$$ from fees
DUDE! I LOVE SPAM MUSUBI! 😍😍😍
It’s so good!! I call it Spushi for fun 🤭
Thank you so much. First time flyer and I appreciate your advice. 😊

I’m so scared about the first check in part where u take off ur shoes or something and put ur stuff in the basket to get thru because everytime I’ve gone to the airport even my parents don’t know how to do that part and often do it wrong causing the ppl behind us to get annoyed and it’s so anxiety inducing I rlly wanna avoid and do it right
Scared of what? You litteraly just go to tsa, scan boarding pass, move up take shoes off/jewlry/stuff in pockets and carry on or purse, put it in the bin. Security scans you, and pats you down. If everything clears your stuff go through😊 conveyer belt and boom done: get your stuff put shoes on go to your flight gate.
You got this!! Just keep your bag organized. Liquids together in a quart size zip bag. And then electronically easy to take out. Shoes off. No metal on your body 🥰. And then just listen for instructions and watch others ♥️
Yes! Exactly 🥰. You got this!
Thanks so much 😊🌷
You explained this very easily.. This will definitely help me.😃
yay! glad to hear! thank you for watching! 🤗

So I'm taking a cross country flight next month that is going to be roughly four and a half hours. It's not the first flight that I've ever taken, but it is the first one that I've taken in about fourteen years, so I'm a bit lost. I've read that neck pillows don't count as your carry on or personal item. Is this accurate? Also, can you take a neck pillow and a lumbar pillow? I have pretty severe chronic pain and understand that flying in the main cabin (not sure if this is any different from economy) isn't the most comfortable, even for healthy people. If need be, would getting a note from my doctor help make things easier? I'm taking a Delta flight for reference.
Hi Ben! Some airlines are different. Some want you to have your pillow inside your personal item or carry on. If you have the puffy ring one and can’t fit it inside your personal item or carry on, I recommend just wearing it on your neck as you pass the boarding people to get on the plane. I’ve never seen anyone tell a passenger to take it off. You just have to pass the people that scan your boarding ticket then you can take it off your neck lol. It’s very common for people to bring pillows but I always take the extra step to wear it just in case the scanning people are in a mood lol. Sometimes you can hook it onto your luggage handle but I’ve seen some airlines tell you to put it in your bags hence that’s why you can wear it.
I use the trtl pillow because it’s very small.

Also I recommend using a sweatshirt for lumbar pillow. And sometimes international flights will provide one.
Here is a video I think will help you
ua-cam.com/video/V9YMcGoQjZw/v-deo.htmlsi=bqidLn6r-7cmDdLc
If you’re traveling domestically do you still need your passport to show at the counter? Do we just show them our online boarding ticket, drop off the bag, and they’ll give us our printed ticket?
Are you from the United States? If so, you just need drivers license (Real ID)
Go to counter when you get there to drop off bag. And they can print you a paper boarding pass if you want.
@@buildyourmoxie ok, thank you! And I heard something of giving a plane confirmation number to the worker. Is that number used to check in to our flights?
@@grapeleiva2266 as long as you have ur boarding pass, no worries :). The boarding pass has everything on it that you need.
To get the boarding pass you need your ID
When you board the plane, the people will scan it.
