Tip number six is my big one. I set off for the airport very far in advance and never stress over any delays in getting to the airport, checking in, or getting through security. I’d much rather be surprised because I’m at my gate with a lot of time to spare, than be surprised that the delays were far worse than I thought they’d be.

I enjoy your videos. Here are some things I do while flying. First, I do wear tied athletic shoes on the plane because those are the shoes I walk in while in London. However, I loosen (and re-tie) the laces once I get into my seat so that your feet can be more comfortable. Also, I never, ever remove my shoes! If something nasty happens, and I have to exit the plane in an emergency, I don't want to waste time putting on shoes (wasted time could be the determining factor between life and death). Along those "nasty things" lines, I always loop my small cross-body day purse under my jacket throughout the flight. Again, if I have to leave the plane in a hurry, at least I have my money, credit cards, passport with me already on my body. If my overhead suitcase can never be recovered, at least I have the financial resources with me to purchase whatever I need. Lastly, I never, ever check baggage -- only one overhead bag and a personal item. I wash my socks, undies and T-shirts every night at the hotel to trim those items from my bag. You'd be surprised how little you need when you actually think about it. And if you run out of something, you can always buy it at your destination.

Great video and tips! Detroit is one of the airports in the US where you can only get food after security. One useful tip I recommend is to study the airport maps before going to the airport especially if you have not flown to or from that airport before. It will help navigating the airport much easier. Also, if you have a connecting flight especially at a major international hub such as Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or Toronto, the airport websites (or possibly a third party site) have guides on where to go for a connecting flight and they explain if you have to go through a security checkpoint or customs. It was helpful when I had to change planes in Toronto last year.

I have a tip to add, BEFORE you leave, make sure your cell phone carrier AND YOUR OWN ACCOUNT SPECIFICALLY has service where you are going, especially if traveling internationally, and make sure you download "WhatsApp" (a text and call app) that allows you to make/receive calls and texts most anywhere (but you still need Wifi or internet service). I flew from Texas to France only to realize I had no phone service outside my hotel (because the hotel had free wifi) with MetroPCS (owned by T-Mobile) even though I had WhatsApp. Also, make sure you leave enough time between transferring flights to get to the gate for your connecting flight. I blindly purchased my ticket as it appeared in the Google search without checking the times between transfers and EVERY TIME I landed at one airport to transfer planes, I had to hurriedly walk from one end of the airport to the other (literally - it was always the furthest gate from where I was) for my connecting flight and each time I barely made it and was the last one to enter the plane. And on one occasion, my gate was changed so my boarding pass didn't work and the ticket agent had to print a different boarding pass for me. So I would suggest at least an hour between transfer flights - check that BEFORE you accept and pay for your ticket! Because you may think it's great that there is not much down time between flights but ultimately you are going to need that extra time for unseen variables. Also, if you travel frequently, you should sign-up for TSA pre-check which gets you through security faster. If you wear glasses, travel with more than one pair!

So about flights first thing in the morning... In general, I agree with you. However, on our last Southwest flight departing at 5:20am, our entire cabin crew overslept! They had their alarms set to central time supposedly (what? who doesn't use cell phones this day and age?), so they *all* were late for the flight. Entire flight was delayed by almost an hour. So here's a huzzard for early flights... Entire crew can oversleep! True story! That was a flight out from SEA to SJC.
