I’ve had the Bento bag for a few years now. It’s awesome for those pesky budget airlines! You can bring it on every flight (so far) lol ✈️

[emmaslovelylife]

putting your boarding pass as your lock screen is such a clever hack!

[achevres]

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!

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.

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.

[WorldXpedition]

Great tips 👍 . I really enjoyed watching the informative videos. Going to follow you from now onwards.

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

APRO TIP when going through the security checkpoint: For electronics like laptops Phones or cameras it is always better to send them last through the screening.. if you send them first before you clear the security.. you might give a chance to someone to pick your item and leave

Genius idea to put your boarding pass on your lock screen. I have usually saved it into Notes and pinned it to find it easily, which works too, but sometimes activates Apple Wallet for some reason. Thanks!

[cyberartsy]

Fantastic tips! Thank you so much for sharing.

[marziga]

Wow, thank you so much for all the great advice & hacks ❤️!!!

[KatieDavis-dktc]

Thank you for the tips! I didn't even know about the reserving a security spot for the airport. i'm heading to Costa Rica in 2 days so you posted your video just in time for me, thank you!

[mariareyes-ku]

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.

Note to everyone in the universe: Not every idea or tip is a "Hack". Most are not. They are not unique, novel, or ground-breaking, usually just another opinion, so please stop calling everything a 'hack'. Anything to make a YT video, though, right?

[SimplyKatieWalks]

I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, but I've traveled the US quite a bit already this year and no tsa has asked for anyone's liquids to be outside of their bags.

[cornellcornell]

Stop calling a personal item a carry on! They’re two different things

[mariareyes-ku]

I would not buy any airport pass from Craig list or other website. There are so many scams that you may end up losing your money.

[judybage]

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

[cherylbales]

I won't use a bag that doesn't have wheels & handle, don't want to carry a bag thru the airport, even if it has a crossbody handle

[marcusyoung]

Is there an expectation to tip at curbside check in? Silly question maybe, but somehow I always get that feeling.
