That's so awesome to hear. I'll be using it on my trip to Guatemala on Wednesday. I booked a flight that was half the cost if jus bringing a personal rather than a carry on suitcase and this counts. Pretty sweet!

Another tip: wear closed toe shoes always. When you visit the aircraft’s bathroom, the liquids on the floor are not water!!!! I also use double socks before I pass the security check point. I take off my shoes, pass security in my socks and then take off the top socks leaving the clean ones to go back into my shoes.

Great tip. The washrooms are never pleasant 🤢

I’ve travelled a ton, and watched many travel tip videos, but you actually had some new tips for me! I had not seen your videos before. Coconuts through security, Boarding pass on the Lock Screen, Shuttle to hotel, then cab from there, plus a few more. Thanks!

Hotel shuttles from the Atlanta airport require photo ID and a reservation number before you are allowed to board the shuttle.

I dislike that all credit cards that allow you access to VIP lounge now charge you a hefty annual fee. When you travel alone, it’s not a big deal to pay to have access but when is three or more people, it gets pricey and adds more expenses to your trip.

We get a secondary card for a small fee so that the whole fam can go into the lounges together. Plus when you add the 200 you get right flights and hotels, 200 for food and other perks, as long as you remember to use those, it's definitely worth it

Thank you

It’s not for every flight. It is available between certain hours of the morning because it’s when they have more flights. I have used it before and depending on how long the regular line is, it has saved me precious time.

It's definitely not my first go-to, but I know others who do it often. Like anything on Craigslist, it's a risk. However I've purchased many things from the platform and it's been a good experience (including our Airstream)

In the UK we can check in online. Is that not a thing worldwide?

@hopscotchtheglobe

Ай бұрын

Yes you can check in online which I highly recommend, especially if you're traveling carry on only. That way you arrive at the airport and go straight to security. But if you're checking your luggage then you need to go to the check in counter anyways.

@mariareyes-ku6194

But if you are traveling to another country, you still have to check at the counter because you have to show your passport and in some countries you also have to check in into their own website and show proof of that QR code too.

@@mariareyes-ku6194You don’t have to check in to the counter for international flights unless you didn’t upload your passport to the airline’s website ahead of time. I haven’t checked in to a counter for any of my international flights in the last couple of years.

I do not recommend the last row on the airplane. We had a long flight from Seattle to Orlando and we were seated at the last row. Not only it was next to the bathroom, it was next to the flight attendant’s lounge. They talked through the WHOLE flight and I couldn’t take a nap plus the constant flow of passengers going to the bathroom make noise as well.

Yesss to coconuts!

I travel with a silicone collapsible water bottle. It goes in my personal item bag. I don’t need a travel cup holder. I wear my phone on a lanyard around my neck. No one is stealing it. The bento bag looks convenient but I will not use a personal item bag that doesn’t have backpack straps. In the off chance I check my carry on, I don’t want to walk around the airport carrying my personal item on my shoulder (even cross body becomes uncomfortable). I definitely encourage bringing your own food but if you’re flying across borders, make sure you eat it all before landing. You can’t bring in produce, meats, seeds, etc to other countries. If you have TMobile, you can get free wifi on United flights. If you get the TMObile international plan you also don’t need to worry about getting eSIMs in most other countries.
