Fly as early in the morning as possible. The first flight out is less likely to be delayed because the plane it already at the airport, not flying in from somewhere else. And if you live in a crowded city, it's less stressful to drive to airport before the morning rush hour -- you can always sleep on the plane.

I have not flown for a long time, but I've heard this tip in several videos now: When you get to the airport, if you need to get in line to check in, go to the lines to the LEFT.

I have a couple important tips. These almost everyone know them already, but not a few people keep doing it!!! 1- Do not leave your luggage or personal objects unattended at the terminal!!!! that will trigger the terrorist alert, and the security protocol. 2- In the security point, do not feel funny and joke saying things like "bomb" or anything related, even though it´s a joke, it will activate the security protocol, and you will be arrested for investigation!!! 3-Do not forget to declare your money if it exceed ten thousand dollars, or its equivalent in other currency. 4- Do not act suspiciuos when the dog comes by you.

Remember lo leave a note with special instructions to follow back home, with a love one or family member (just in case )

My Airport Tips: 1. Arrive in the airport early as possible like 2 hours before the flight, in case security holds you off for a long time. 2. Never joke about terrorist attacks or bombs. Security and airport police won't take it as a joke, and you will get arrested. 3. Don't accept any luggage from strangers. Usually, luggage that you took from the strangers contain drugs or illegal substances, putting you in the big trouble. 4. Usually, I prefer using check-in kiosks at the airport to save time. 5. Leaving luggage unattended can trigger a terrorist alert. In addition, your luggage won't be there when you come back since it's been stolen. 6. Try to be in front of the gate 1 hour before the flight, so you can board without having a problem.

I like the little lightbulb. Cutest. :)

I recently made two mistakes while flying 1) I put my 2 passports in the travel bag...and $1,000 cash...then forgot to take it from airline counter. At security I discovered I was missing them. I ran back and fortunately they were still there at the same place I left them. Don't put cash and passports in the same place. 2) There was a Wendys restaurant...with free refills..I refilled 3 times and it was a super sized cup. During the flight I had to go 4 times to the bathroom...and since I had a middle seat I had to inconvenience the passenger who sat in the aisle seat...would not have been easier if I had aisle seat...so don't drink plenty of liquids if you have window or middle seat.

With online check in you don’t get to get boarding passes which I got a collection of and if u are a frequent flyer and silver or above u get complimentary baggage allowances

Another tip at #3 If you have multiple boxes, suitcases whatever you’re using... Don’t fill them up completely!! If you have some spare room in other luggage you can put the overweight items in there and you don’t have to pay for anything. MAKE SURE, that those bags are at least 5 kg away from the total weight, so you can put the “rest” from the items in your baggage. Tried it once and it changed my life trust me!! I fly about 8 times a year so it saves up quite some money!

As an aviation geek I just love the whole experience of being at an airport. It’s the whole experience, what I always do is buy a check in bag and board last that way I don’t have to worry about overhead luggage. I understand you can’t probably do this easily if flying for business and very frequently but I would rather be early and relax than be stuck in a security line or for some delay to happen on the way to the airport.

for transoceanic flights, like LAX to SYD, alternate 4 hours of sleep with 4 hours of wake time.

Try to avoid booking an airplane’s landing gear as your seat of choice. The stewards often forget you.

Very cool video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

Most of the times, turbulance is caused by other planes as well. They create a small vortex at the wing tip. It will grow bigger and bigger. Thats why winglets are made. Plus, its usually caused by the difference between the air below and above the wing

Thank you for your vids always helpful

Thank you after watching your video I always queue at the last lane and I always go out quickly.....

Another tip: Don't fly hungry and dehydrated, to Florida, or anywhere else for that matter, unless you want to risk your bloodsugar dropping to zilch, losing consciousness and stopping breathing when the plane depressurizes as it begins descending and then with difficulty wake up to a beautiful doctor from India pounding on your chest telling you to come back and stay with her, followed by a whole lot of medically oriented privileges. Which, by the way, is common enough the paramedics there called it "Plane-itis" and said they see it every day. Ask me how I know. Wish I could thank that doctor. Maybe she will see this, you never know.

Lucky you. If you travel more you will see the nightmare it is.

If you have a passport when asked for ID, when flying either International or Domestic, use it. Most people have their home address on there license/ID card. If the airport worker has friends who are thieves, they could call them and have them check out your place and rob it, as they know you aren't home. Another reason is that they could stalk you. Your passport is a legal Government ID, and it doesn't have your address on it. ... If you know that you will want water, take an empty waster bottle with you, as you can take it through security. Once on the other side, in many airports at the water fountains you can refill it. You really want to do this with the super discount airlines, as they will charge you for water on the fight. ...

Travelling soon, i listed all the essentials, but makes me anxious the new normal which is way more complicated and expensive travel.

Tying or hanging a coat or jacket (if you're not gonna wear it) to your carry on is going to help save up some if not a bit of space inside the bag and saves time when you need to use it during the flight. It may be a no brainer but a lot of first time flyers usually miss this tip.

#5 it's good to wrap in plastic if for example you have a box... But do it yourself before the flight to ensure it's biodegradable. We used this trick when moving between countries.... Also great for business when you're not taking brochures back etc.

great idea

Try to avoid situations where you may end up with your very own episode of “Locked Up Abroad”.

Considering how to get to the airport in good time before flight is always my way of planning the travel.

Connecting flights: Always bring an empty bottle with you and fill it up in the first flight with water, if your transit terminal does not offer free water refills. Water can cost 5-10 USD on some airport! Consume before you pass the transfer security check. (You will need to pass 1.5 hours before your next flight departure) Check-in: Check in online. After that, just use the baggage drop. DO NOT arrive at the checkin counter prior to opening it! (Usually 4 hours before the scheduled flight departure) Arrive around 1 hour before the check-in closes. (About 2 hours before flight departure) - This way most of the nervous (and unexperienced) passengers will be gone, and the check-in and baggage drop will be almost empty. Avoid going too late, as many people are lining up just before the check-in counter closes. If the check-in counter is about to close in 10-15 minutes, and the line is too long, you can go to the business checkin and ask them for an exception. They will grant it to you as they want to avoid you missing your flight. But Please do not abuse this exception, this is for real "emergencies" only.

Just in time for my flight to New York!

If you're in an aisle seat, locate the little catch to lift the aisle side arm rest, it makes it so much easier to get up from the seat.

Now every one will see this video and everyone will go to the 6th counter and the 1st counter will be empty🤣

For the duty free one, you can always just pay attention to the clock, board and announcement systems. For me, I happen to be blind (I can only see light, acolour and large objects), so I'm always listening out for things, so I'm usually the first one to know if it's time! When you're on a long hall flight, particularly 10+ hours, you need to relax, get iood and buy some things for the flight or even your trip. This is also true for if you're seeing family and want to get them a last minute gift. Oki that's enough of my rambling

on southwest airlines you must check in online better boarding position and seat earlier you check in aka 24 hours

What about to drink plenty of water and fruit juices 3 days before a long haul flight. This I've heard is good for jet lag, and they give out small quantities of water for passengers.

Take boiled sweets on a flight to stop you getting earache and a big scarf to use as a pillow or blanket

Here are some tips from me - 1.Put a lock on your suitcase. This may seem obvious to some people, but not everyone does it. 2. Put a sticker or label on your suitcase, especially if it’s a common color/pattern. This way, when collecting your luggage at your destination, you will know which suitcase is yours! 3. Especially if you’re going on a long flight and going to sleep, always keep your seatbelt on when in your seat. It’s already hard enough to fall asleep on the plane, so if you take your seatbelt off and fall manage to fall asleep, but then get woken up by the flight attendant telling you to put a seatbelt on, it’s gonna be annoying. 4. Have one responsible person in your group keep all the passports and tickets. It’s just easier, Trust me I hope these tips helped at least someone!

My family used to live in the Middle East. To minimize jetlag, I preferred traveling from the US to Frankfort, Germany. I would always take the red-eye (flying at night). Basically, my flight left from Cincinnati at about 8:30 PM and land in Frankfort about 10:00 AM. I would then use the Airport hotels showers and take a shower and change my clothes. (Always put 1 or 2 outfits in a carry on bag in case your checked bag became lost. I usually had a layover between 4 & 6 hours. So I would then go get a coffee and a lite breakfast.
