International Travel Tips (Hacks)

These international travel tips are for you passengers who get to fly to another country. I will also share some travel hacks to make your international trip easier.
The number one tip is that international flights board 45 minutes before departure. 2 travel tips: 1. Arrive at the airport early and can check in your bags and 2. Stand in TSA line for 30-45 mins.

I have been going between Europe and the US for over 60 years now. Enjoy your tips and would like to add my favorite, especially when traveling with your husband on a cruise! The zippered laundry bags come in many sizes, and in multi-packs at the dollar-type stores. I use them for all types of clothing and accessories. They take up no room, and when you unpack you just place them in the various drawers and shelves you have in a cabin or hotel. One can then serve as a dirty laundry bag. When using plastic bags, I always punch some holes in them, so you can push down and any air remaining will go out. Also, I decide on a color scheme for my clothing. Black, white and red or yellow come to mind. If an item does not go with anything else, I leave it at home.

I’ve learned the Golden Rule of flying while travelling. Never get on a plane thirsty, hungry or needing to go to the bathroom.

Thank you so much! Thanks for reminding us to write these tips down and use the notes section of our phone! Making so many notes!

I packed in a carry-on for my 16 day British Isles trip. I also had backpack then checked my carry on when I returned. Can't wait to again travel international. I LOVE the neck pillow. Love the bloopers too.

Love the bloopers! Thank you for including them! Very informative and very good tips as well as the blood clot link. Thank you!

[LRad-stle]

I love your vlog. The bloopers are so funny! Thank you for the great tips.

You are amazing, Laurie! Not only do you put out great content, you answer or reply to practically every comment!! Thanks and God bless, happy travels!!!

[suzanneanderson]

I really enjoy your videos. I binge watch them over and over. I have learned so much from you and find minimal packing a breeze now. I used to way over pack! Thank you!!

I have been traveling with the Cabeau neck pillow for years between Orlando and Australia. However, I spend a little more and get the one with vents because it is cooler and less restrictive (and I don’t get hot).
Love your channel.

Not only do you have to roll a suitcase over rough streets, you also will need to be able to carry it up and down flights of steps when using public transportation. There's not always a handy elevator. We always use metro systems, and I'm here to tell you, they can be tricky. Pack light!

I love your channel! We have always checked luggage, but not anymore! We are going to Italy in the fall for 12 days. So we decided to try out the carry-on only for a recent trip to Maine. It was wonderful not having to wait for our luggage at baggage claim. Zipped straight to car rental and started our vacation! We will use carry-on only for our Italy trip. For me, using small little pots for my shampoo, conditioner, skin care products and toothpaste worked out great as I could carry more products in my essentials bag.

I love all of your videos. You are truly helping people. Thank you

100% agree with a food tour on your first day. Before I had the budget for food tours, I would do a hop-on/hop-off bus tour. Both help you get familiar with the area and figure out where you might want to go back to.

Hi Laurie wanted to say thank you !I binged on your video’s before our recent trip to London, your tips helped us so much! since we never traveled internationally everything was overwhelming, but I arrived early, observed and listened and asked ALOT of questions
I found it interesting when leaving Newark Int. Shoes off, after our layover in Norway we had to do security, I accidentally walked thru the body scanner with my purse still on! but no shoes off!
Then going home Heathrow to Denmark no security check in Copenhagen!right to the gate!
Traveling internationally is some work, but I learned so much, thanks for your hard work.

[susandiekmann]

You weren't kidding when you said to get a journal to take notes! That was a great collection of tips, and I'll be sure to watch the video on preventing blood clots, also. Thanks for another great video, Laurie!

Heading to Ireland this year and love your tips! Thanks Laurie! Blessings

[darlenejohnson]

So helpful! Thank you!! Another tip if you have an early international flight is to find out ahead of time when the airline check-in counter opens in the morning, so you’re not arriving too early. A little before is good for lining up.

Hi Laurie! My husband and I are preparing for a trip from the US to Papua New Guinea later this year (our son, daughter-in-law & 3 granddaughters serve as missionaries to that country). LONG HAUL FLIGHTS, here we come!!! We did this 2 times before in 2012 & 2015. It’s been a while. So I have been blowing through all of your videos for tips and travel hacks. Getting through TSA is my fear in the airports and the bad people that prey upon innocent travelers is another. I really appreciate your channel. All of your videos are great and very helpful! Thank you! Here’s a travel tip for snacking. I have used powered peanut butter, PB2. You just mix it with water and you have real peanut butter. Powered peanut butter doesn’t take up precious space in your liquids bag like regular peanut butter would. Keep the videos coming! ❤️

Excellent tips, Laurie. I went to Europe in the spring. Walking/running shoes, in the airports, are a definite necessity!

I'm heading overseas in 2 days. First flight since covid!! So excited. Love your work Lauri. Even if I don't travel just watching your content gets me going.
