Kristen & Siya Stumbled on your channel,,, and loved..., I must have been living under the rocks LOL
You like to make 355 people your bitch, huh? Thanks for the video!! :D Here is a tip: Do not pin yourself above the people that make your video even better. Cheers
I have another hack take paracetemol with you when you have a flight that takes longer then 4 hours. It will help against blood clots and take your shoes of. Bring warm socks for during the flight
@@marjan6008 Paracetamol does not thin the blood aspirin does!
Thanks for the subtitles!
I'm the opposite of a nervous flyer. My reasoning is, not matter what you do or can do, if the plane is going to crash, it's going to crash. You can't prevent or change that. So being worried and nervous is completely pointless.
Mikaykay I’m sure that thinking helps some people, but for someone who has anxiety I worry about it anyways, there’s no turning it off
Summer M I mean the thing about worrying about the plane crashing is that it’s irrational. You can’t use logic to solve a problem that’s brought about by irrationality.
its a 2% that a plane will crash
Mikaykay that’s the way I look at it too. However flying is more safe than going for a walk or driving your car so it’s really all good
kpop_videosssx no
Please don’t be that person who uses essential oils and perfume in a packed aeroplane - you don’t know who has allergies around you. It’s common courtesy in a packed space. :)
Vera Waters I
Vera Waters are you going to tell everyone on board a flight not to wear cologne and perfume too!
Cherry Metha Yes we are. Allergies and asthma are quite serious issues, so it’s a common curtesy when travelling in a closed in airplane setting.
Cherry Metha it’s common sense really
What is "essential oils" ?
If you have an iPhone have your boarding pass sent to your phone or emailed and select “add to wallet” and your pass pops up on your lock screen when it’s an hour before your boarding
Jas Victoria thanks !
How can you add it to your wallet if you have it emailed to you?
or just take a screenshot :D
Im expecting a big kerfuffle at boarding when iphone stops working, considering that 75% of business customers are doing this now on some routes it must be a daily occurrence.
Never lose sleep over the small stuff Then it'll work on whatever phone you are using.
I always study on airplanes so I can get a higher education :)
Lhouse810 Hahahhaaahhahaha this needs to go viral..at least for like5 minutes of fame. I actually find I get these crazy epiphanies in the air...solutions to problems, new creative ideas, type much much faster...
I always smoke weed while I study for the same reason
Jonathan Wilson LOL
You don't let that precious time fly away. 😎
You may be joking but I actually booked a cheap 14-16hr flight to Hong Kong to force myself to study for a Medical Board recertification test. It was a very productive trip
As a working flight attendant, I'd like to say thank you for this. A lot of these "hacks" are things we do on a daily basis. Most of this is very good, there are a few issues, though. 1, Personal liquor is a NO NO. It's against the law in the United States. Don't even try. The consequences can be very severe; 2, While it may be less expensive to purchase WiFi in advance you may run into an issue where the WiFi is out of service. Be sure to know how to get a refund; 3, If the TSA does call you out on bringing too much to security, be prepared to toss some of the less essential items so your items do fit the quart sized bag. Don't try to argue with them. They always win. Anyway, for all your followers, enjoy your flights and this big beautiful wide world.
thank you haha should have just read your post instead of writing mine
TSA says liquor bottles can be carried on but not consumed.
instagram.com/p/BVBHP9FDfAK/?igshid=3dda7uggnxvt
That is correct, the ban is from the FAA, and you can be fined by them.
Yup, saw two guys get arrested after my flight landed at Christmas time for this infraction!
you can buy liquor in the airport and take it..you can alao pack it i your checked luggage. you wot get it past security and they will throw it out as you cross security. so idk wtf you are talking about. you wont go to jail. i travel frequently..and i know
Don’t take a pillow case, take a scarf. You can wrap it around your coat for your pillow or sometimes I tie it around my headrest and just use it as a head hammock to sleep
Super clever - thank you!
now thats what i called hack..
I take a pillow case, just in case I have extra pounds in my luggage, or used as a pillow with my coat🧥
Brilliant!
Or they have those neat scarves that have hidden pockets!
Very helpful however i advise against the essential oils. Or at least just use them prior to your flight if you have to use them. A lot of people have scent sensitivities. There is nothing worse than being stuck in a tube, filled with recirculated air and having someone use a scented product that ends up giving you a headache or a worse reaction. So while it may help you relax it could potentially put someone else in agony for hours.
jennacablair real, quality, essential oils are not the same as scents.
Kristiana Chancy ??? No matter what the quality all essential oils have scents...
jennacablair yes but it doesn’t cause headaches like scents full of fake crappy ingredients. Peppermint helps headaches. And lavender is calming and helps you sleep.
Kristiana Chancy Yes it still can give someone a headache. You obviously do not have scent sensitivities. It doesn't matter if it's the worlds best essential oils. When you have issues with scents, no matter what the ingredients it can still trigger an extremely severe reaction. Don't comment on something when you have no idea on the matter.
jennacablair lol okay. I know more then you’re assuming. But I’ll keep using my essential oils all day, everyday - whether I’m on a plane or not. Hella better then people who bring fish, eggs, or fast food on a plane. Those stink up a plane so bad
Compression socks are the best for long flights! I won't go on an overseas trip without them at this point... avoid blood clots, but more importantly, your feet won't swell.
Is you have Netflix. Download the app and you can load plenty of shows/movies in advance and can be watched off line.
Yessss! I've been doing this lately and it's so good especially on flights without entertainment systems
Yes, yes, yes! This is a must when your flying. Also, if you subscribe to UA-cam Red you can download videos to watch offline. So I like to download documentaries and such for a flight or music videos if I'm in the mood to just lie back and listen to some binaural beats or jams.
How can you watch Netflix offline ? Is there a download button somewhere ?
Or take a good book or 2 with you especially if it's a beach holiday.
@@dyannachung136 yes, u can download shows and movies
Good hydration is a must. Alcohol dehydrated you. So avoid drinking alcohol will help circulation, headaches, jet lag, stuffy sinuses. Water , water, Water! Also avoid caffeine.
I started going carry-on only about 4 years ago and I've never looked back! It relieves so much stress not having to check a bag and saves me so much time!
Jacob Carlson but like there's so much thing you cannot bring with you on a carry-on (because of the regulations)? How do you guys do it?!
And "carry on" has different sizes for each airline.
It saves you time until you go to the laundromat....I don't do sink laundry. It's a halfass way to clean your clothing.
I'm slow so what does carry on mean? Just to bring a backpack???
@@vegaf2011 Usually it's 1 small personal item that you need to put under the seat in front of you like a purse, small backpack (small....not the huge one backpackers which clearly doesn't fit in the bin thing that the airlines have), and 1 item like a small suitcase or medium size duffel that you can put in the overhead).
1:33 this only works if you’re on a non-discount airline that occasionally flies with a less than full plane. On Southwest, Ryanair, et. al., the plane will always be full or they would never be profitable. I fly Southwest often and it’s bad enough to be stuck with a middle seat, but then when I get there, I find a couple that has selected the Aisle and window seat and placed their personal belongings in the middle seat to discourage anyone else from sitting there. Ahem, cough, sir and/or madam, that’s actually my seat, and if I could sit in it that would be greatly appreciated. Now if you want to sit together that’s totally fine, and I’m more than happy to switch seats with someone. but don’t roll your eyes and huff and puff at me for wanting to sit in the seat that I paid for and thus foil your ingenious plan to get an extra seat for free.
I work for an ultra low cost airline as a flight attendant...and you'd not believe how many problems this little "hack" produces. People are always trying to get the whole row to themselves and when the other passenger who was assigned that seat shows up, well, I wish it were just eye rolling and huffs. LOL. Loved your reply.
Wonderful description.
I've flown twice with Southwest. The first time there and back, me and my mom got the row to ourselves. Second time we got the row to ourselves there and on the way back we both had our own rows. Also Southwest doesn't have advanced seating. You show up and pick a seat.
Take a handful of those tiny alcohol wipes that are usually used in hospitals. Wipe down that tray table and perhaps the arm rests. The tray tables are a germ magnet- people put used tissues on it.
This is a great hack! I feel like it's always so easy to get sick on an airplane...this at least cuts down some of the probability of it. Thanks!
My mom told me to start doing that. While I hate saying that flight attendants are lazy, they may not do that much of a thorough job..... Also don't use the blankets or pillows that they give you. I've seen hairs on them.
I wouldn't touch those tables! I've seen people change baby diapers on them! As a former crew member I agree with you on this one!
Seatbelts as well lots of touching and around windows.
I use baby wipes for this.. added bonus, you can also use them on yourself should the need arise. I also carry those compressed "pills" towels.. you add water and the turn into a towel. On really long flights 8+ hours I will go to the galley and use "hot" water -just about a table spoon - and have a hot towel for my face to refresh myself
The best travel hack is to be considerate of the other 100 + people traveling with you and understand that this is not your plane to do anything you want. Dont take up too much room, accept what they give you to eat, drink etc. and dont be demanding. Look after yourself.
"Just go with the flow like a twig on the shoulders of a mighty stream"
A quote by John Candy in The movie Planes Trains and Automobiles
Omg I LOVE the idea of making flight info your lock screen! That's so clever and something I would've never thought of
When I was a travel agent a lot of times when people were flying from say NYC to LAX they would have a choice to connect in either Chicago or Dallas. If they were travelling in the winter, I always suggested going through Dallas. It might seem obvious, but I was shocked that most people didn't think of this themselves. Dallas isn't as likely to have heavy snow and blizzards in the winter, so it was worth it not to risk a canceled flight or delays. No guarantees, but better chances.
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
The isle armrest! I try to tell everybody this on the flight. It helps to just get in and out of the Seats. I discovered this a couple years ago when I was bored. Sometimes it's a lever toward the back of the armrest. This is especially helpful when traveling with kids and all the extra bags. Great video!
Noise cancellation headphones are a must! The quickcomfort from Bose are the best, no more annoying engine noises or crying babies haha
Sony are way cheaper and do the same if you want to save a couple hundred
have you tried both on flights?
Bose qc35 is a godsend!! No headphone can beat the noise cancellation this baby can do!!
Ikr
I want them but they are so expensive
Miles and points are the best kind of rabbit hole to get stuck into. Especially when you get into the more advanced tricks :
Like the idea of booking a round trip award ticket with United on Swiss from say Paris to Geneva and back just so you can use their obscure "Excursionist Perk" to get a free flight between those dates from say Cape Town to Accra, Ghana. Just have to leave a big enough gap in your schedule to nest in that African flight
16,000 United miles and $80 to fly round trip in Europe and get a free $400 flight across Africa is a win win IMO
This is the best travel hacks video I have seen. Ever. I’m moving from the states to Thailand this summer so I’ve been watching A LOT lol. Thank you for not rambling, for being succinct, for speaking eloquently and articulately, for not adding in a bunch of pointless animations. I appreciate you sticking to your points and the focused nature of the details you provided for each point. THANK YOU!
Don’t forget to photocopy your passport and insurance document keep one for yourself and one with a friend
How about a video on your fav airlines especially here in Canada/North America...I haven't flown in 10 years so I'm sure things have changed.I'd also bring some cozy socks for an overnight or long haul flight and a pair of noise cancelling headphones.Thanks Kristen!
Every single one of these tips are on point! Love it:)
The only one I don't entirely agree with is carry-on only ... as an Australian we tend to take lengthy trips, 6-8 weeks aren't unusual. We're just so far away and the flights are so expensive we make sure we make it's worthwhile. So most of the time you have to check your bags in.
We've travelled for months at a time just a carry on. It's not for everyone but definetly possible.
Kristen & Siya fair point! I couldn't do it mostly traveling into a northern hemisphere winter. Plus I've always said I've paid for checked luggage already, might as well use it.
If you travel infrequently, 6-8 weeks at a time, tips like TSA precheck, checked bags, etc are less of an issue. If you travel frequently, carry on only is essential to save time (I've waited 2 hrs for bags) as well as allow flexibility (standby for earlier flight or other changes in flight). We have reduced it to traveling with just a personal item for a week! It's very liberating when you see how much you can scale down, but only if you are motivated.
TTM can you recommend any resources - videos, blogs - for someone interested in researching minimalist packing?
6-8 weeks!? You maybe, but not most people. And Australia is smaller than the US.
Can't believe how early I am! Just want to say a big thank-you to you for all of the great video content that you produce and for all the hacks you've given me for travel. - A Canadian, living in Spain
Thank YOU for watching and being so lovely to leave this comment. Where in Spain are you living? You must be loving it!
I'm in Valencia! I have to say that the hardest part of living here is actually going to school instead of just leaving to travel all the time because Spain is sooo beautiful!
You’re the best! Thank you!
Thank you dear. Wil use some of this next week when im travelling :)
Little ginger candies for if you get nauseous on flights. They also taste awesome :)
I’ve been forced to check my carry on twice in the past year because they didn’t have room on the plane, so keep that in mind and figure out what to do with your valuables.
Checking in ahead of time is so helpful. I was running late to the gate and they actually waited a few extra minutes for me 😊
This is amazing!!!! Thank u for sharing!
Thanks! Oh, and that’s really bangin background music!
I like taking red eyes especially when flying with kids. They usually zonk out after take off and you don't have to worry about entertaining them or spend the full day traveling. Plus my kids love going on airplanes in their pjs.
These are such great tips!!! Just liked and subscribed to your channel.
Fascinating tips. Thank you so much! ✌
Loving this channel!!!!!
Most helpful travel video I have seen! Great job!
Very good! Thank you for the information. I knew most of the things, but I have forgotten. Others were completely new. Congrats!
Thank you for these great tips!!
love the tips !!
Oooooh No 1 is my take away from this , always get annoyed with going through my apple wallet...and the oatmeal! So easy to watch and listen to you...love the sound of laid back experience :)
The TRVL pillow or knock off is one of the best things out there. I sleep so much better on planes now. Face masks also. Hotel slippers. Ear Plugs if you need it. My kids have flown Business Class and grumble when they pass it to head to economy- I make them an amenity kit of snacks, treats, toys to elevate the economy experience. They love it and are worried they will not get it when we fly Business again. To promote carryon only, ebooks and not books. Packing light and never checking is key to saving time, flexibility. I rarely even use a carryon anymore. We started using personal item (18x14x8in) so there is no additional costs for discount airlines, international short flights. Just returned from a 7d trip to Peru where my daughter and I shared a personal item.
Great tips! I had to laugh at tip 8 @7:14 ...doing these movements may do what you mentioned but also free up the seats in my row since I'd look like a weirdo doing it! A win-win! Lol 😂
Thank you for this video!! So useful for frequent travelers and particularly me, a digital nomad!!
this video has been in my recommended for a while because i travel frequently throughout the us, and europe/asia, as i'm a linguist. i super vibe with your like everything. love your content, thanks so much xo
Thank you for great info I needed!
Seriously great information! thanks for sharing these tips!!! ✌🏻
wow thank you so so much for these tips! Amazing! XX
This is great! Very helpful.
Please don't drink your own alcohol on board. Really. In the US its a HUGE no-no (it's actually against FAA regulations). As a flight attendant, I'll beg you not to drink your own alcohol. If you get caught (and trust me passengers love to tell on other passengers) you're bound to have a miserable flight.
You can fit apx 13 miniatures in a Quart sized resealable bag.
Stephen Murray lol
it's so helpful!! thank you sweetie ♡
These were actually so helpful! Thank you!!
Great list! I’m a pretty frequent traveler and I feel like I’m pretty savvy but I loved how your taught me lots of things I’d never heard!

Omg that last tip is GENIUS! New subscriber! 👍🏾
Thank you! Great video!
This was awesome! Thank you!
Great tips!
One of the most helpful videos to help me with my travels! I’ve included you guys in my video because you guys give the most useful tips! Keep it up!
being a flight attendant and working various jobs in the airline industry, a lot of these "tips" or "hacks" make me absolutely cringe. you are allowed to bring mini alcohol bottles through security but they have to adhere to all the liquid restrictions and include them in your liquid bag allotment. IT IS AGAINST MANY AIRLINE'S POLICIES TO CONSUME YOUR OWN ALCOHOL ON BOARD. Be aware that doing this can cause a lot of problems for yourself. Also don't come across as that rude passenger. Now a days almost all seats in an airplane will be full. Pick the seats you actually WANT and stick with them. There is less stress and confusion during boarding. Although people may get away with jumping into the wrong lines, it isn't a good look for you and ticket agents can make remarks on your profile in case you make this a habit for your trip. People pay a lot of money to have these privileges in the airport or fly so much that they are never around their families. You can ALWAYS ask if they don't mind helping you since there is no line. Usually people want to work and help pass the time and you wont come across as trying to "cheat the system". Know the baggage policies for the airline you are flying on and don't be the person trying to sneak on extra baggage. It slows down the boarding process if they ask you to adjust and adhere to the policies. That can create stress for you and other passengers. Honestly you could go through your whole traveling experience using these sneaky hacks and not have any issues, but if you get caught, it really isn't worth the headache or added stress. I DO LOVE THE TIP TO ALWAYS HAVE A PEN!!!!!!!
Jennifer Henke thank you for saying this! I thought the alcohol thing was common knowledge as it says it on the airline menu and/or seatback pocket card.
Also just picking the seat you actually want and stick with it because it makes it easier for everyone. Especially if someone has a special request or special meal. As someone who requests a special meal every time, I try my best to be as polite and not-needy as possible for flight attendants
I love the tip to bring something nice for the Flight attendants.
Although not for the reason she said.. special treatment.
Most people don't realize that serving passengers and being at their beck and call is not the full job description of a flight attendants. GA's are there to keep you safe. Yet people are so rude to them. People tip servers but not FA's.
Here hack should be be polite to your flight attendants, they are not there to be your slave but rather to keep you safe and that is why they want you to follow the rules.
YES! I love this video and how helpful it is! I've totally gotten curucao liquor and rum sample bottles and brought home 6 of them with me on the plane! I usually pack only carry on so at first I was worried they wouldn't let me through with so many but it was totally fine! And my friends back home appreciated it too ;)
Wisdom and experience from you. Travelling all these years, it will shine through. But not anyone can use plain experience, there are smarts and communication skills as well, which you have. Thank you!
Love Your Channel Thanks
Useful! Thanks

Kristen...you are always so filled with info! TYSVM! Do you have a tutorial on gogo inflight wifi?

I'm traveling this summer with a large backpack and then a tiny one for day use. I'm always a little worried about getting past the gate agents since I have been forced to check my large bag before. Definitely gonna try the plastic bag idea!
Very nice. Thank you!
Wonderful real life advise! Thank you!

These are actually seriously awesome tips. Some things I hadn't ever thought of like the tennis and golf balls! Great ideas. Thank you!
Another tip: Check your local library for their online library, you can usually check out download audio books/movies/books and read and listen to them offline!!! Free, too!
Thanks for you advice
