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.

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.

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. 🤣

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.

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

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!

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.

I love travel! Long haul flights are the best!! (I have eleven siblings so it’s actually pretty relaxing)

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.

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.

Such a great list and delivered so concisely!

Thank you for the tips! Great video, your personality made this video even better

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.

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.

Thank you! Very useful, and I love your positive energy!

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.

an add-on to #26: instead of buying a cover put a t-shirt on top of the bag. it works just the same, but make sure to use a unique t-shirt, for example, a t-shirt from a place you have visited. also, make sure that the shirt is not too special because it might rip on certain conveyor belts. if you do not want to sacrifice a t-shirt, or you can't find one, try tying a bandana on the top of your bag, where the people tie your luggage tags. an add-on to #29: if you are using a neck pillow, secure it on the top of your carry-on. If it is a suitcase, tie it to the bottom, and secure it tightly. If you are using a backpack, then tie it on the handle. an add-on to #38: instead of buying an earphone splitter, just use a better quality version of the earphones they give on planes, though some people do not like these, they are not that expensive, and can work the same. add-on in general: if you need things like gum during your flight, buy it in places or stores like stop and shop, because they are cheaper there than in the airport, where things are like 3x more expensive. Try to only go to the airport main shops unless you really need something. add on in general: Even on your long road trips or car rides, bring a pack of goldfish or something else that is salty. first, lick the salt off of the cracker and then eat it.

I'm going flying soon for the first time, and this will be very helpful

Good tips, if no lounge I always sit at another gate that’s not in use. As for those yucky bins, I take a garbage bag into which I put my small carryon/ backpack and my coat. I keep it to sit on the floor on the aircraft and set my under seat bag in in so I’m not putting a dirty bag/ backpack on my clean clothes. I throw it away as I enter the airport!
