Another travel tip that has worked well for us - we plan everything in Apple Notes. We create a folder for our trip, and then have one note that is the Itinerary which then includes links to other notes with specific travel information. We keep info about our flight, links to locations, and just about everything else right in the Notes app. Works great because we can easily share info.

Maps on Apple Watch is one of my absolute favourite features of the device. It really comes into its own when you’re travelling, to never have to take out a map or your phone to navigate a city.

Glance at your Watch to check the turn - you don’t even need to do this, as the vibration is distinct between left and right and I believe also straight ahead (cross the road at a junction)

I am an iPhone user, but i find Google Maps more easy and intuitive to use here in the EU. But I may give Apple Maps a chance next time I travel.
Also, Google maps has this traffic view of the streets; sometimes, apple maps simply don't have any data...

I traveled through Europe for 2 weeks last year and I was pleasantly surprised at how easily everything worked. The $10/day wireless was worth it for my group.

One thing that I learned just in time: check with your carrier about cruises, as there are potentially huge charges while the ship is moving. Best to keep your phone in airplane mode while sailing and then take it off while docked.

I will be in Valencia next October - great video, and tips!

[hummersd]

One tip you probably should've learned is to never use a USB port to charge outside of your own devices. Always plug-in to an outlet or use a battery bank.

Thx. I’m fooling around with the check-in feature right now with my sister. I had no idea. And I downloaded the widget of the spare clock face to keep track of time at home when traveling. I did that on the World Clock before, but I think I’ll prefer a quick glance.

Great tips Bridget, I’m surprised myself at how many people don’t know simple things like offline maps is available, learned a couple things from your Guides section too thanks!

[darthvader]

Kindly tell me about what case did you used for your iPhone?

[skyler_wa]

6:38 Family Circus reference was a blast from the past!

[maikaimakena]

Such a great video I really like how much I learned keep it up the great work 🤙

[havenfamily-하늘이네]

Check-in feature I've never heard of it until now. Thanks for the good tip, Bridget!

[RuudP]

Off topic, hope you had a wonderful holiday. Valencia is a beautiful city, I was there too, last year

Dont use a US carrier int data plan! Thats the worst option. Thats 10-12 dollars a day - 70/84 bucks for 7 days for data signal that wont be optimized. Just buy a local sim card, from Three, or Vodafone - I got 70gb of data for 15 GBP this summer 2024 in London (fyi - in the US it takes excessive use outside of wifi to hit 2gb of data usage) Three and Vodafone also allow you to spend what you want, more or less

[Lruiz]

I really like your videos and realized you're learning my language (Spanish) makes me feel excited

You have such a charming personality ❤

To use the airplane’s inflight entertainment system with your own headphones or earbuds you’ll need a Bluetooth adapter. If you have an AirPods Pro Max either the BT adapter or Apple’s bidirectional cable.

Glad to see you visit my hometown, I hope you had an awesome time

Besides, I would like to recommend Immersive Translate for you. This plug-in can help me translate everything I need when I travel abroad！
