Two more tips:
1. Bring cleaning wipes to clean your seat and tray in the airplane
2. If you have a long flight and a connecting flight with a long layover, bring a set of new clothes and baby wipes. You can "freshen up" and feel clean for the next flight.
👍😊
We always “freshen up” in the airport bathroom. But we don’t change clothes.
Is 2 hours of layover enough to freshen up?
Excellent advice - Tip: If you are a solo traveler, you are more likely to get bumped. If you can't miss your flight, get on the plane as soon as you are allowed.
Best seat is the back seat. Like the literal last seat. No one books that and you'll get the row to yourself
And flight attendants give you extra snacks, sandwiches, etc in very long flights. 😃
Yea but you get stuck waiting for everyone to deplane. Also, I find it noisier, and more turbulent, and people are constantly shuffling about or standing over you waiting for the bathroom. But sure book those back seats up!
last row seats usually dont recline
so no its not the best seat
@@JustADreamerLuvyes they do also you dont have people behind you
A very simple but often forgotten tip when you’re travelling is to bring a PEN! So many times I’ve had to awkwardly ask people to borrow their pens when filling out my customs cards. 🤣
YES!!! Such a simple but useful tip
Airports should provide them!
my dad owns a school store so i always have a pen
when ur an artist: I have every pen I this world
@@anthony3295 They do provide them, but you have to wait in line to use one. Better to carry your own.
One tip regarding luggage is to take photos of your luggage against something that shows the size of it such as a ruler or tape measure.Then if you are unfortunate enough to lose the luggage you have a photo to show rather than trying to describe it.
Brilliant tip. I have thought about this ahead of my next trip, so I'm glad someone has mentioned it as being worthwhile.
good tip
Yes good tip, I found that very helpful on one occasion.
And either if they steal from you're luggage and claim that they were no padlock
@@Shiva-my3mq I'm sure most people know that a padlock is useless. You can get into a case Using a ballpoint pen.
A bonus tip: go to the airline counter and ask for a distressed passenger voucher for a hotel if you're stuck at the airport and the airline is nor responsible (e.g., weather).
I was once so tired after finishing finals week in college and reaching the airport at 4 AM, that I fell asleep AT THE GATE. Finally, I woke up when they were announcing my name on the overhead system. I almost missed that flight! Don't ever "take a nap" at the gate.
I fell asleep at a plane while flying alone for business and almost missed my stop, the plane was going to continue to other airport, some people including me were getting off, luckily, a flight attendant knew and woke me up.
Great video! I recognize a lot of these tips and it was very smart of you to collect them all in one video. A one stop resource for us travellers ☺️
Does anyone know which are the best travel agencies to travel from USA to Melbourne Australia
❤😊
I always put colorful yarn on my luggage. It is something I always have at home and makes it so much easier. Especially since our luggage is mostly black lol.
Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. Hell isn't fun. GOD loves you soo much unconditional❤🤗🥳❤
Be careful using yarn on luggage if you have cats
If they swallow it, it is a death sentence.
@@LisaDavis-xd7dp why would cats be on a plane?
I dress my luggage with a stretchy colorful fabric cover that has my business logo printed and website... Personalized and free advertizing for the same price ;D .
Me too 😀
The dirtiest places are not due to dirty diapers or anything like that, but due to being areas that people touch frequently and that are rarely disinfected. Many people do not wash their hands properly or often enough, so they spread bacteria and viruses. So using disinfecting wipes is very useful
so helpful for traveling during this time! been looking for an updated tips video exactly like this
I’m so glad you’ve found this helpful, thank you for watching and commenting 🥰
I am so glad I stumbled across your channel as I learnt for London in 3 weeks! This has given me so many useful tips. Thank you x
I fly all the time and still learned a bunch of new great tips. Thank you for this great video!
I agree with tip 29, especially for older people, because my dad went on a 16 hour flight and he didn't wear those socks and he eventually developed two blood clots that travelled from his leg to his heart. Luckily, he went to the hospital before it got really bad. Point is wear those socks!
Hey! i wanna ask Does it have to be exactly like those socks?
@@Wintersesr Yes, it has to be compression socks since they're specialized socks. According to Google, they help with blood flow and reduce swelling and discomfort. I think it varies among each person, of course. Like my dad's case, he was over 65, so he was at a higher risk. To be on the safe side, I would wear them. I wore them recently on a flight and my feet were not bugging me as much.
Thankfully your dad got medical attention in time.
Just to add on, if you are going to another country where English is not universal, its hard to get medical help. I lost my god mum to DVT. She went to Germany, doesnt speak German at all, unable to communicate and the nearest hospital is a helicopter flight. All because the officers and whoever that was there, speak minimal English.
If she was treated a few hours earlier when it happened, she would still be alive.
@@FiNyxUprising I'm so sorry for your loss!! :(
Stumbled on your channel while watching London videos in anticipation of our return to UK next summer, and just got completely sucked in.... talking head videos arent usually my thing but the combination of education and entertainment value you put out is spot on, love the editing and the low key humour you add, definitely subbing right meow. Keep up the awesome content!
So happy to hear it Philip, that means a lot :) Stick around and hopefully more of my future videos will be the out-and-about kind now that travelling is back on the table!
This was excellent! So informative and well delivered! By FAR the best video I've watched yet! Thank you so much for sharing! Cheers! 😘✈️🧳
Thank you for the tips! Great video, your personality made this video even better
I love travel! Long haul flights are the best!! (I have eleven siblings so it’s actually pretty relaxing)
Such a great list and delivered so concisely!
For that dirty tray table, I carry a rag pre-moistened with soapy water in a small plasic bag so that I can wash it. Then in my picnic I pack two small cloth napkins, one to be my tablecloth and one to use as a napkin. Very practical luxury! (And both thrift-shop linen into the bargain).
As for entertainment, a paperback that fits in my handbag has never failed me yet.
are you using them for the tray table? i sometime use a large supermarket reusable bag to stick my cabin bag/backpack in before i stick it on the floor , then turn it inside out when i have to put it back in my bag..... I've also stuck the free news paper on the floor lol
@@velyvely6479 Yes, I put the rag and the "tablecloth" back into plastic bags till I get to my destination where they can be laundered. Your backpack in a bag idea sounds good too.
🙂😉
Appreciate the video! I'll be using these tips on my next flight. One thing I'd like to mention is that what you referred to as a "lighting" plug is actually a USB-C plug, and it is widely used by not just Apple. Still agree though that USB-A plugs are more easily found, mainly because it is an older and more standard connecter.
Thanks for clarifying the USB situation Nicolas! So pleased you found the video helpful ❤️
Yeah the one that goes in the phone’s cord is Lightning and the one that goes in the power brick is USB-C.
I love the pillowcase hack. Brilliant!
Fantastic video, very thorough but also super fun!
Aww thanks so much Siobhan!! 🥰
Super comprehensive! This presentation content was sensational. watching again and making my list.
Thank you!
This has been the best hacks video i have ever seen. I love the fact you added skincare and savings tips, so thoughtful and detailed.
Loved these tips! As someone who travels quite often, I still got some new tips here! 😍
So happy to hear it Milla!! Happy travels 🥰
I always select the seats at the back on an airplane, because chances are those seats might remain empty and you can find yourselves seating comfortably alone in a row. Have experienced this a few times and it was a delight to have all the space to put your handbag beside you, plus two or three tray tables to keep stuff . Plus always double check the name tag and airport codes while picking up your checked in baggage at arrivals, to avoid baggage mix up.
Hey, loveeeed this video, you are super charismatic and I really listened to every single one of the 75 tips hahahahaha. Thanks so much for the tips, I will definitely use at least 40 of these on my next flight and have started my packing list :D!
Thanks so much Michelle, that's really nice to hear - and I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Many more videos like this coming in 2022 😀
This was so helpful, thank you! I hate flying and TSA so I will definitely be using some of these tips next time I fly!
This was awesome💘 thank you so much ☺ I will definitely will be ready for our next trip 😀
Hey there! Hope you are having a nice day. Your video is so helpful for me. Thanks a bunch for making these kinds of hacks and do's & don'ts.
I loved this video so much! I would suggest having a tip for the curbside pick up, even if it's complimentary. Those agents often work extremely long shifts standing on their feet ( a lot aren't allowed to sit) and of course, the horrific weather conditions in winter.
Wow great video ideas.
Love this one. Thanks for sharing
Now this is what I call great travel content 👏🏽👏🏽 - so good!
Thanks Shimon!! ☺️
Great tips, thank you. Have a merry christmas and happy new year!
Thank You!! This was so helpful, I can see you have a Morroco picture in the back. I have been to Morroco 5/6 times!!
Thank you so much for all these tips! We are going flying with our 2 month old baby and all tips are appreciated! :)
Thanks for sharing! Great reminders here!
One of the most pleasant people I have seen whilst looking through these travel videos.
can’t express how grateful I am to have come across this video!!
So glad you found the video helpful! 🥰
Thank you! Very useful, and I love your positive energy!
These are great tips! another good tip is to bring dylorite or an electrolytes pack to keep hydrated! I always take a picture of my parking too!
Yesss that’s such a good tip Elizabeth - so important in case you fall ill 😅❤️
We have the same surname haha :)
Thank you for all the tips!! I learned a lot!
These are great! Thanks for sharing!
Great tips! I'll be using the first cubicle from now on!
Hahah yasss, I always do as well! 🚻
Excellent travel tips video. The best one i have come across
Great tips!!! Thank you for #72! My husband works for an airline and the incident reports this year on flights have been through the roof! Be nice to flight attendants, people! They are there for your safety, not just to serve you a snack.
🙂😉
Just a small correction: 10:49 the increased exposure to radiation we experience in high altitudes, is ionizing radiation and has little to do with UV rays. Sunscreen does not help unfortunately.
😃😉
Thank you for this clarification 😊
You know what, I had to pause every now n then, take notes and play again. Too many great tips in such a small video. All to the point. God bless!!
Probably the most helpful video yet! Thank you!
Thank you so much Joanne, really pleased you found the video helpful ☺️
Such helpful tips--many I have not seen elsewhere--and charmingly presented. Thank you!!! =)
This video is really helpful!! Thank you so much 💕🥰
Thank you. Your video is helpful and enjoyable.
Very helpful
You covered everything 😊
You are amazing!! This is absolutely very helpful
Great video,fantastic tips!
Awesome
Thanks so much Simon! :)
My tip. Plan to come to the airport 2-3 hours before. Delays due to traffic can happen and it can increase stress. Use the spare time to eat at the airport. Yes, the food is expensive, but way butter and less expensive then on board. Eating lowers stress and closes the long gap between meals. Eating also helps to concentrate and be full of energy. After a subnational meal you will fall asleep way better.
No sorry.
The turn up 3 hours early is so that you get bored and decide to wander and shop duty free. Has nothing to do with boarding.
@@GoldCoast85 in most cases I must be at the airport at least 2 hours before the flight, because of customs and other procedures. So one extra hour is not a big waste in sake of being calm.
better use that extra hour to eat at home ;)
Or hit up a lounge.
We asians come 6 hours early for international flights and 3 hours early for domestic flights
amazing tips! im a new subscriber, and i really like your personality! 12:28 is also adorable 😂
Great tips! Love hearing these. Some of these I've heard - but great collection!
So glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Thsnks for the wonderful tips while travelling.
Awesome video! Thank you!
Your tips are great! They're fresh and very useful. 😄
I print my boarding passes after online check-in. One for boarding, one as a backup and the third goes into my checked bag. If the external tags get torn off, my boarding pass will let them know who it belongs to and where it needs to go. I also have a small bag that hangs on the seat in front of me with the items I'll want for a few hours flight (power bank, noise cancelling earbuds, snack, etc, and it gives me a place to put my cellphones during the flight.) I also prefer a window seat toward the rear. I have priority status and this gets me settled into my seat with plenty of overhead bin space before anyone else is back there. When I first went gold status with AA, I chose a seat in the front and had to struggle to find a place for my backpack in the bin. Then I had to go behind me to get it while everyone else was trying to get off the plane. Mistake. I travel with tools, so have to wait for baggage claim anyway. The seat map that flags some seats as "preferred seating" never seem preferable for me.
Great tip about extra boarding passes!!! ♡
nice tips. Some of these are very useful. A lot of them I already know but it's still good to keep them fresh in your brain.
I disagree on packing “huge winter boots” in luggage. Wear all the bulky items if you can do they don’t take room in the luggage.
Bags for liquids - I always use a ziplock bag and nobody ever said anything about it.
😃❤
Great video. You cover more points than any of the others.
thanks! my mom and i hate turbulences a lot and these tips will come in handy
Thank you so much for all the tips !:)
Wow! These hacks are amazing. Thanks for your insight 😊
So many great tips!
So pleased you enjoyed the video Liz!! 🥰
Use the scale at an empty check-in counter to weigh luggage so you can remove items if needed.
Great idea! ☺️
@@girlvsglobeeven better, leave the bag somewhere on the side while waiting in line. Go to the counter, tell them to check you in and that you don't have any bags to check in. Walk back pick up your luggage and enjoy free overhead carry on ;) I must've saved over 1000 euro by now doing exactly this
Love it you are great congratulations on that personality! Travel do make us better.
Appreciate the effort I’ll be sure to use it for tomorrow I’m going to Cancun,Mexico OMG so excited 😆 👏
Really amazing video👏
I am really excited for my next flight😁 and these are the best tips I could find👌 u were really straight forward with them organized and they really helped a lot thank u so much for this video💕
I love ur charisma 😄💖
Thanks for the sunscreen tip!
I’m 13 and I’m traveling to Austria Germany and Switzerland with EF tours without my parents and I haven’t flown since I was 9 and it it at the end of the month! This was very helpful thanks
Ok, as a used to be a frequent flyer (more than 5yrs ago) I looked up what is new now (covid much?!) and I am impressed. Thank you , thank you, thank you.
Also I would take seat covers for the toilets on the plane. The last time I flew there wasn't any on the plane. You can buy travel pack of 5. I buy these when I camp and started taking them when I travel. They have come in very handy at times.
Good idea, thanks for sharing Lorraine!! ☺️
In a pinch I use toilet paper. Lay down the strips on it - won't be perfect but better than nothing. The middle part of the toilet seat covers are great for blotting off a greasy face.
@@crazy4beatles omg!! I do the same thing if I don’t have my toilet seat covers 👍🏼👍🏼
@@crazy4beatles I do this everywhere, is it not common practice?
Thank you, all very valuable advices
Thanks for the tips..have a wonderdul day.
This was so informative and unique video!😧😍👌
Awesome tips thanks!
I’m from Australia and I’m flying to England in a few days this has helped so much thank you
Good morning ☀️🌞. Happy Merry Christmas 🎄. Thanks 🙏
Waow your video is trully life saver, thank you❤
great video! i honestly really miss air travel because of covid who else agrees
*raises hand
Also recommend to put ur name anywhere in or on the outside of ur bag bc if they get lost most airplanes check the bag to find any personal info and they’ll just call ur name from the speakers to go to a specific spot to pick up ur bag
Thanks dear...it was worth watching your video. Very important and useful tips and tricks. Loved it ❤️😊All the best 👍
Amazing video thank you so much I’m going on a flight in February and i feel like this has taken some stress off me ❤️
I'm not sure if they were sold outside the US but I always fly with a blanket that has sleeves. They were sold under the name "Snuggy" in the states. The sleeves make these the best flight blankets since you can easily eat, adjust your tablet or phone, or fasten your seat belt over the blanket without disturbing the blanket covering your body.
I’m considering bringing it on my next football trip, since it has my school colors. I can pack it in a compression cube; takes up as much room as a thick sweater.
I LOVE THESE SO MUCH OMG
This video was so helpful!
So happy to hear it! 😁
I have a friend that worked for tsa tampa for years. She says you can bring frozen liquid because explosives don’t freeze.
Interesting, thanks for sharing Sarah!
I really like your accent and thank you for the tips !
Thanks for the kind comment Amy! :D
Great info !
Very informative video thanks! Traveling next month to India just preppin
I’m so glad you found the video helpful! Good luck with your travels next month ☺️
With the 75 tips, may I add one important requirement passengers must be aware of: “ TSA approved” luggage padlocks. If not, don’t be surprised if a note will be attached to your checked-in luggage upon arrival that reads “Luggage opened for inspection with unapproved TSA lock”. Your damaged padlock is stashed in your luggage side pockets. It happened to me. Lol!!! I learned that sometimes a luggage gets questionable reading from airport x-ray scanners, and needs to be opened by TSA personnel. Awesome tips, and thank you for sharing us. Every single tip you’ve mentioned is on point!
never use them. TSA opens them and toss them rather than putting them back on.
Make sure to check tsa didn’t steal your expensive stuff . It happened to me
Sorry, are you saying we should use TSA approved locks, or not to use them?
@@heatherwoodley8244 I personally USE it. But I’m not advocating everyone to follow me. I just added that tip after one travel incident where my luggage was inspected by TSA with a note left inside stating the reason why. A “red” tag saying “INSPECTED” was then attached to that item-a step down electrical power voltage converter. Lol!!! But this was 12 years ago. Today’s technological advancement and sophistication in airport scanners are doing a wonderful job.
Just "lock" your suitcase with a zip-tie - get a package of 6" ties at Lowes/Home Depot. TSA is going to open your bag if they want to, they will no matter how you lock it, but the zip-tie will keep the handlers or anyone else from taking a quick look.
Great Suggestions, Thank you
I was told by a pilots daughter, never to get a late flight. It is probably the last flight for the pilot and they would be in a rush to get home and will fly through anything! I made this mistake once, never again!
Oh no :( I’m going on my first flight in a week and it’s at 1 am. I hope it’s not bad
That’s even better
My first ever return flight was at 5pm, went to 12:40am. We flew right by a lightning storm 💀
These are my favorite 😕
❤😃
I'm going flying soon for the first time, and this will be very helpful
