I buy small dog tags from Petco and put my phone number on it, so if they wander off, they are instructed to find a uniformed person and show them the tag. I attached the dog tag to one of their belt loops so that they wouldn’t be self conscious about the tag.

I remember when I was at Brussels airport. The sitting area/gate where I was supposed to wait was fully packed. I believe there was a three or more hours wait. Of course, I was sleepy. I went to another seating area/gate away from the gate where I was supposed to be at. I went to sleep. My alarm on my cell phone didn't ring or whatever haha. Maybe it did ring, but I didn't hear it, I guess. I went to the gate where I was supposed to be and I saw it was empty. I think my heart dropped. I spoke to an employee there that was working at the gate. I didn't even have the proper document filled out. I think she helped me and I was able to board the airplane on time. It was a close call. Not comfortable at all. Always stay close to your gate and try not to fall asleep if you think you will oversleep.

If you plan on wiping down your plane seat before your flight: 1. Bring MANY wipes 2. Wear disposable gloves while wiping. 3. USE many wipes...don’t just push germs and dirt around! 4. When done, use the barf bag to dispose of wipes and gloves, or bring a bag from home for the debris. Easy-peazy!!

Great List! Thank you! While there are a few that are a little off, in my opinion, most of them are great and very useful! Here's one from me you can consider adding to your various lists of tips: Air Travel Hack: Book the earliest flight in the morning or latest flight at night for the best chance of not being delayed or canceled; the airlines try REALLY REALLY hard to get these flights out because they affect the entire day after them; often I have gone on flights while most or all other flights were canceled because mine was first or last and the flight attendants have multiple times told me that the plane is needed somewhere else for later in the day (morning flights) or the next day (late flights, plane needs to be there for next morning) so they push very hard to get these flights to go. My experience definitely bears this out (and for 10 years I traveled for work with top status from Contin ental/United Airlines).

I love solid shampoo soap bars Shaving soap as well. Iif there is no razor in a clamshell safety razor Can that go in the carryon? The curtain trick I use those Alligator triangle looking clip to close the curtains. Tic tac 250 pc containers are great for solid soaps or phone chargers cigarette plugs. They're clear if you peel the label. I only travel with a carryon. Have a list of contacts on a piece of paper in your wallet in case you lose your phone. If you don't need your keys for your car don't take them leave keys and car at home. Do take your house key put it in your wallet. Let your bank know your going on vacation so they won't think your cards got stolen. If your not known for travel. Have your prescriptions with your prescription in the proper container Same with eyeglasses. Then any one hr eyeglass shop can prepare them if you loose or break your eyeware.

If I may add one: some airlines will allow de-planing from the rear door also. So, do your own research beforehand, but if I know this is the case (eg. Vietjetair in Vietnam), I will book a seat close to the back. That way, I can get on from the back doors, and exit also. Not only that, people without pre-assigned seats will be assigned towards the front. A lot of times, I had the row to myself.

I use a google voice number for apps that like to send codes. That way I can check texts received so long as I have internet access. For Gmail there's also the option of getting a list of codes that you can use in place of two-factor authorization. I learned the hard way about it one time I was locked out of my email account because they wanted a code sent to my regular cell phone - that of course had no service while abroad.

Oh here's another: if Rental car rates are super high at the airport, consider finding a nearby rental location - it could save you hundreds which will easily justify an extra Uber or taxi ride from the airport to the rental location. I did this last year in Vegas and it saved me OVER $400 over getting the car at the airport! I use Hertz and used their location at Circa hotel/casino; I was staying at Palace Station so on arrival got an Uber to there (it was late night and Hertz at Circa was closed) and the next morning took the public bus to Circa - the whole thing cost me about $30 - about $26 for Uber with tax and (generous) tip, and 2 or 3 bucks fro the public bus (I took the "Deuce" which is a double-decker public bus that is also a great tourist attraction, you get a top-level view of Vegas as you cruise down the strip!!! - so there's another tip!!!) Got to Circa at about 9 AM and got my car, no problems - on the return I just returned it a few hours before I had to head to the airport and then Uber'ed back to my hotel, then took another Uber to the airport when I was done - together those Ubers cost another $40 roughly, so I saved about $430 on the rental rate but paid $70 for Ubers, still saved me almost $400 and was easy!

If you put freshly laundered and folded clothes in a clean packing cube and a freshly aired luggage you don't need the bounce sheet. Instead invest in your fav scent in essential oils that you can dilute in a small metal water spray bottle. Once in your hotel refresh your luggage and clothing and this will also refresh your hotel room! With this tip, you keep your scent from carrying to other's luggages. Because you never know who may own the neighboring luggage and they may not want to smell like your lilac fresh bounce sheets! Thanks for the tips! Vie 💚💚💚 🛩

If you freeze a water bottle, empty a bit of water out of it before freezing. I had a water bottle split and was melting/leaking while I was on the plane. Also, I've been filling up my reusable water bottles up with ice before I leave for the airport or at a fast food place at the airport. Then I drink all the water while in the TSA line. I let them know I have ice in my water bottles. I've never had to pour it out.

These are some really great tips...EXCEPT for the one “Make sure your luggage is above you or in front of you.” That sounds great until YOU have to put your luggage in the overhead bin, back by the loo, even though you’re sitting in a seat 20 aisles forward. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to deplane last because people took up the space directly over my seat. Everyone and his brother is following this advice and it’s a nightmare for anyone who doesn’t board first. Sorry, but it’s just pure selfishness to take someone else’s space. So many people have lost all sense of civility and decency, to the point there is literal pushing and shoving now at the gates to see who can board first! This tip, from you, as well as from others, has increased that “me first, and to h*ll with everyone else” attitude. I’ve literally watched people who have seats in Economy stowing their bags in the First Class overhead bins on the way to their seats in Economy. The last few pre-COVID flights I was on, I saw people trying to stow far ahead of their seat, and the flight attendants telling them “No, you need to come back and get your bag and stow it over your own seat.” I’m hoping they all start enforcing this once we’re all back to traveling again. I really enjoy your videos but this one tip...not so much. 🙁
