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.

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 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).

One tip regarding luggage is to take photos of your luggage against something that shows the size of it such as a ruler or tape measure.Then if you are unfortunate enough to lose the luggage you have a photo to show rather than trying to describe it.

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. 🤣

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.

Best seat is the back seat. Like the literal last seat. No one books that and you'll get the row to yourself

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 always put colorful yarn on my luggage. It is something I always have at home and makes it so much easier. Especially since our luggage is mostly black lol.

Great video! I recognize a lot of these tips and it was very smart of you to collect them all in one video. A one stop resource for us travellers ☺️

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.

I am so glad I stumbled across your channel as I learnt for London in 3 weeks! This has given me so many useful tips. Thank you x

[nbyszewski]

Appreciate the video! I'll be using these tips on my next flight. One thing I'd like to mention is that what you referred to as a "lighting" plug is actually a USB-C plug, and it is widely used by not just Apple. Still agree though that USB-A plugs are more easily found, mainly because it is an older and more standard connecter.

I fly all the time and still learned a bunch of new great tips. Thank you for this great video!

Stumbled on your channel while watching London videos in anticipation of our return to UK next summer, and just got completely sucked in.... talking head videos arent usually my thing but the combination of education and entertainment value you put out is spot on, love the editing and the low key humour you add, definitely subbing right meow. Keep up the awesome content!

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.

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

I disagree on packing “huge winter boots” in luggage. Wear all the bulky items if you can do they don’t take room in the luggage.
Bags for liquids - I always use a ziplock bag and nobody ever said anything about it.
