Travel Secrets Airlines DON’T Want You to Know

Have you ever had an airline lose your bag, delay your flight for hours even involuntary bumped from your flight? You have the right to ask for compensation!

Don’t be indecisive or intimidated when it comes to speaking up for yourself to airlines. Ask for your right in writing before you make any decisions about your situation. Acting quickly is essential whether you want to be compensated or if you need to be rebooked on another flight that’s filling up quickly.

I would love to hear your crazy airline stories!

I guess i've been fairly lucky and never had any major problems flying hundreds of flights the last 20 years. One thing I recommend is only have carry on. If you can pull it off with just one sub 15 pound carry on backpack it can make your life so much easier when traveling. "Ultralight" is a mantra in the hiking world, it should be for world travelers too.

One time my sister and i were running to make it to our connecting flight only to find out that they had just minutes prior handed mine and my sisters seats to two other people in the overbooked flight. They re booked us 10 hrs later on a different flight out, and compensated us nothing meanwhile the other two passengers that gave up their seats willingly got compensated $1, 500 each. I still don't know if that was our fault, i asked and was told that sometimes the flight leaves a little earlier than the scheduled time and that we had to be there sooner.

Your airline stories are definitely the best explaination of the airline reality.

Lexi, Hands down best tip for Flight and stays was Searching Anonymously and using a VPN. Just after Christmas, We decided on a Trip to Puerto Rico. I remember getting frustrated with some of the previously saved Searches. That I saved to show my Fiance. Within a 24hr period these cheaper options, All the sudden were the same prices that I was trying to avoid. We are on a tight budget so the increase was enough that we wouldn't be able to go. We got into a silly scrabble over it. I thought the prices went up because we took too long selecting an option. We went to separate rooms in the house. A couple hours later he Flys down the stairs and had a whole list of places Within our budget. Some of these were the ones I saved! That's how we discovered the Searches were somehow sharing Searches and matching them to the high prices. We ended up booking on his phone. I didn't quite understand what was going on but we knew it was something fishy. Then I seen the VPN tip and it clicked!
Thanks again for that!

During my return from Edinburgh to Chicago, British Airways lost my bag and I was pretty stressed since I live in West Michigan, not Chicago, and am 3+ hours away from the airport. But they did deliver my bag to my home and I believe it was within 24 hours. It was damaged and a few souvenirs were unfortunately broken, (it honestly looked like it had been run over on the tarmac) but it just wasn’t worth making a claim to the airline.

That world map wall light is sooo pretty !!

Thanks for this video, so helpful! Just a month ago I was traveling to Brazil from Europe. My first flight was delayed, and as a result I lost the second flight. I stayed in the help desk queue for 9 HOURS, no joke(it was fine tho) When it was finally my turn they told me the next flight to my destination was fully booked.. and this flight was only once a day.. But they were super helpful and found an alternative route, through Argentina and then another city in Brazil and from there to my destination. So I finally got there, 30 hours later than planned, and luggage gone too.. I got my luggage after a week tho. I’m glad I had insurance, but I wish I saw this video before I went! At least I learned a lot! Thank you☺️☺️

Thank you for letting me know what rights I have! On my way back home from Chicago, there was a delay after another because there was a lack of a flight crew, DESPITE ARRIVING AT THE AIRPORT TWO HOURS EARLY!

In 2018 I booked a nonstop flight from Seattle to Paris (CDG) through Condor Airlines. I got to the airport thinking everything was fine; I got there 3+ hours early. The counter for the airlines was supposed to open 3 hours before the departure time so I waited. Turns out the 1 (one) flight that took this route was getting cancelled and bumping everyone to the following day because the plane planned to arrive in Seattle never showed up to the airport … from Germany. So people who needed to fly the previous day were bumped to my flight and there was nothing the airline could do. I ended up extremely lucky by booking a flight to Paris through London on British Airways. The flight I bought on Condor was more than 800€ and I only got about 600€ in a refund months later.

Gray video thank you!….but you have to tell me where to get your world map in the background that’s lit up It’s awesome????

[oliviaruper]

Thanks Lexi! I’m traveling to Ethiopia May 14, in three weeks. What tips and tricks do you have while at the airport and during the flight? Again thank you!

[TheShauNanigans]

Always put a change of clothes and your basic toiletries in your carry on. It saves so much stress in case your main luggage goes somewhere else.

Heyy Lexie I advise you to visit Al-Ula, which is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. It has many distinctive features of photography that belong to the Thamud civilization.
And visit the caves of Shuaib (the people of the Prophet Jethro or Shuaib) and near it the rock, springs and well of the Prophet Moses in northwestern Saudi Arabia
If you are a mountain fan, you can visit the Fifa Mountains, which is called Neighbor of the Moon
Or visit Rijal Alma’ to see honey huts and learn about the types of honey in the mountains of this heritage city. The city is famous for the Al-Asiri cat. Try to get acquainted with the symbols and connotations of these beautiful drawings.
If you love diving, enjoy diving in the city of Yanbu, which is famous for this hobby, and the Red Sea is famous for its abundance of coral reefs.
The city of Jeddah has the tallest fountain in the world, the tomb of the mother of mankind Eve, the beautiful Lanterns Square, the Raouf Khalif Museum and the old city of Jeddah (al-Balad) registered in UNESCO
The largest oasis in the world is Al-Ahsa Oasis
And the largest palm farm and date festival in the city of Qassim
And the largest olive farm in the city of Al-Jouf, which is one of the finest oils in the world after Palestine olive oil
And you can visit the Rose Festival in Taif, which is these days
If you are a fan of cultural festivals, make sure to visit the Janadriyah Festival in Riyadh and the Souk Okaz Festival in Taif
This is simple information about some Saudi cities
If you want to watch the month of Ramadan near Muslims, you will not see it more beautiful than visiting Medina
Good luck enjoy your life

Wow! I wish I knew this a few years back. Was bumped from my flight & I know that’s what happened because a friend who was supposed to be on the flight before mine (but missed boarding) ended up IN MY SEAT 😂 parents & I had to pay out of pocket for a hotel that night because there were not any open seats for the 3 of us on the plane & no more flights until the following morning.
Airline refused to pay for our hotel when we asked.

Hey Lexie greetings from India, just can't wait to watch your vlog, from the title itself, it looks very interesting and informative. Love you always 😗💗

[hi_imkimberly]

Thanks Lexie. Once went to SFO on business. My suit was in my checked luggage. It got sent to NY! I went to the meeting in jeans...and it took days to get the luggage back. Even then they wouldn't deliver it up to the house I was staying in. Just to a nearby country club. I'm off to Scotland, well if they lose my bag again, at least I can have an excuse to buy a Kilt ;) Thanks for the tips.

[rickybobby]
