    I traveled a long flight to china some months ago and I really loved what they did as they would not wake up anyone already sleeping to have their meals. Instead they would put near the screen a sticker with the note saying if they need something they can call them. That was really heart warning experience.

    My way of not making mistakes, especially when tired, is to have designated pockets for each item in my small carry-on travel bag, and also my backpack that goes in the overhead locker. Any time I take something out it goes back into that specific pocket. Once my hands were full when I was in the airport so I tucked my passport and boarding pass down my front, into my bra, for safety - but I usually do not do that so I really panicked when I could not immediately find them, checking all my bags and pockets. Another tip is to bring a small plastic bag in your carry-on (I just wash, dry and roll up a plastic bread bag, to recycle it). On the plane it can tuck into the seatback in front of you for somewhere to put the antiseptic wipes you use on the seat tray and seatbelt buckle, plus any food wrappers and used cups etc.

    Did not throw up as soon as I landed 🙌
    Thank you for all your travel tips. I especially agree with be nice to the nice flight attendants. 😄
    Actually just be nice to anyone in customer service industry. Think of all the stuff they have to deal with!
    Light sleeper here, so sleeping on the plane was near impossible for me. I'd wake up every hour to drink water because the air dried out my nose and mouth!
    I also used the trtl pillow you featured your "everything I packed for travel" video! I originally bought it for my mom but she didn't really like it so she gave it to me.
    But when I used the pillow the wraparound way, it worked for a few hours but I woke up to find my neck sweaty and ear swollen from resting on it (they kept the plane nice and toasty, didn't even need a blanket). So, I just put the pillow behind me for neck support and that worked better for the rest of the flight.

      Yes! I watched a bunch of travel tip videos (starting with yours) about navigating airports and wish I was warned about dry air affecting not just your skin but your nose and mouth! When I got to my hotel, I took a shower, cleaned my nose and...nosebleed. :/
      So for the flight home, I wore a mask while I slept and that helped.
      Any advice from experienced travelers is welcome!

    just a reminder: not all countries use the same type of electrical outlets, so make sure you have the right kind! it sucks to get to the airport and have a cable you can't use. also, airports will likely have adapters you can buy that work in that country.

    • @erintyres3609
      @erintyres3609 10 місяців тому

      Some adapters have a 220 volt to 110 volt step down transformer and some do not. My shaver made an impressive furious self destructive sound the moment that I first powered it on with 220 volts of British electricity. On the other hand, my phone charger works correctly at either voltage.

    I have a very strong allergy to bleach and therefore it’s really hard on a plane when the person next to me has bleached the whole area. My ask of the world would be to use ANY other wipe except Clorox or ones that contain bleach. Edit- wet ones, purell, and many other sanitizing wipes are available that do not contain bleach :)

    Tip: I always wear plastic, one use, gloves when going to the bathroom, wiping down areas with Wet wipes on the plane/hotel room, holding on to stair rails in airports, etc. I might change 5 or 6 times disposing after each use.

    I love to travel and I hate to fly, especially flights that are over 8 hours long. Just like you, I always fly coach. From where I live it takes a minimum of 10 hours to get to anywhere in Asia and minimum 11 hours to get anywhere in Europe. There are some good tips in this video like filling up your water bottle at the airport and bringing snacks. I always get an aisle seat so I can go to the bathroom anytime that I want. Bringing extra entertainment might help too. Maybe a book, your own movie, a game, whatever. Sometimes there’s nothing good on the in-flight entertainment and sometimes it doesn’t work. No entertainment on a 14 hour flight is torture. Bring a good attitude. Being stuck with 300 people at 35k feet isn’t pleasant.

    • @buildyourmoxie
      @buildyourmoxie  Рік тому +1

      Haha it’s true! Just the wipe is biodegradable! These wipeys are huge in the backpacking community where they wipe their tushy after the 💩. Then you bury the wipe in the dirt!! A lot of backpackers still use toilet paper which doesn’t biodegrade as well so these ones are perfecto in the wild. 🌲💨But in general, you are supposed to bring the wrappers back and dispose in trash can. 😁 would be cool if they could make a biodegradable wrapper that also prevents the wipe from drying out!
      Also I hope you enjoy the compression socks!! Literal game changers!!! 🔥🔥🤩

I’m so excited, but heights are not my friend. Again, thank you for all your tips and tricks and the hand wipes. Individually packaged was an awesome idea. I tend to get overheated hence the moistness of my body. Lol so I think you can pack more individual packages instead of one bulky one,. They’re biodegradable to which is a huge bonus. I will probably start watching most of your videos now. So again thank you and I hope you have a good day.

    • @buildyourmoxie
      @buildyourmoxie  Рік тому +7

      Compression socks are a game changer!! 😃 your legs are so much happier and less fatigued ☺️. As far as the USB thing. There have been some not nice people who can actually hack the usb cable ports. It’s like when you connect your phone into your laptop usb port to charge it, your laptop can access your information. Since airport seats are a high traffic spot, bad people target those areas :(. So the best thing to do is to charge through an actual wall socket using your own little charger cube. Hope this made sense hehe 🥰
