Thank you for this. I will be traveling soon and have tremendous anxiety about the entire flying process.

[@buildyourmoxie]

You got this! 😃 points for doing your research ahead of time! ❤️ I would say just give yourself plenty of time by arriving early to the airport and it will help :) Part 3 is coming out this Wednesday so it will have more tips for you! 🙂

[@mayaleex3]

Love all the details to help ease anyone who might be anxious about going to the airport!

[@buildyourmoxie]

😃thanks maya!!! ☺️

[@Iris873]

I’m watching this since I have a trip coming up in a couple months. I’m so nervous because it’s my first time flying by myself but I’m happy I came across this video, thank you!

[@-Parad1gm-]

Mine is in 2 weeks and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do 😂💀

[@gailcrockett9883]

I am traveling from Connecticut to Narita Japan by myself, first time alone as an older person in September. Prior trips were with a family member. This trip has me nervous. This video was extremely informative.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Adventure time!! You got this! Japan is going to be soooo great! Also thank you for watching :) This Wednesday I will have part 3 out! It will have more tips for you 🤗

[@lyndelldyson888]

[@keniasiqueira44]

I checked for the airport map on the airline app I'm flying to. I always bring my refillable water bottle❤ I try to explain to my daughter how the gates, and terminals work but she doesn’t understand. This is going to be very helpful! Thank you 😊

[@kumikohigurashi5366]

Thank you!

[@WindowIntoMyWorld]

just as a tip- I listened to so many of these videos before I flew for the first time, I checked in online and only had carry on luggage, so I skipped the check in counter but while boarding they needed a physical copy of my boarding pass and they told me I had to check in at the desk even if I checked in online because I was going from uk to Australia lol and they were all super mad at me so I recommend double checking especially if you don't live in the us or if its a super long flight

[@angiecrocitto]

Omg great tip. I will be sure to get a physical copy at the check in counter for my international flight! ✈️ thanks!

[@mehboobpanjwani5245]

Awesome video! 💜💚

[@rgoonewardene380]

You don’t always have to remove your shoes in security. At least not in Europe. Things I do before getting to security. 1) put any unnecessary items in my bag. This includes phone, wallet, belt, glass etc. 2) Take out liquids bag, and laptop.

[@sl1tv0m1t]

Thank u so much !! I’m heading from AZ to MN to visit my boyfriend and I’m so nervous, I’ve never flown a plane alone before 😭

[@keelybrookeeee]

Thank you for the tips lovely!!! This is so helpful!! Just a question - wiith cameras & camera batteries do we need to take those out with our laptop and put on the tray? Also laptop/phone chargers?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi! Great question! I would say it’s usually just laptops and then sometimes they also say battery power banks. Very rarely have they asked me to do every single electronic (like a camera battery) minus maybe a couple random flights. I would say pack it all in once place so it’s easy to get out of your bag and then the security person will usually be telling people what they want out!

[@keelybrookeeee]

@@buildyourmoxie I've been slizard a few times

[@demonking24]

The first time in 15+ years I traveled to New York, my return flight did not go smoothly. I missed my flight and had to wait a day for my next one.

[@buildyourmoxie]

😭oh man that sounds horrible!! Sorry that happened to you 😖

[@demonking24]

@@buildyourmoxie it’s ok. You live and you learn. At least my international flight to Japan went smoothly.

[@Poolshockguy]

Why did you miss the flight?

[@reddwarfhead]

Thank you! This might be a stupid question, but when we're supposed to go through security, do we add the phone as well or just the electronics that are in our luggage?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Add your phone too :) just put it in one of the trays with your other things!!

[@malaranganathan4298]

Would love if i could buy the luggage brand you have suggested in India. Thank you for the lovely videos 🙏♥

[@buildyourmoxie]

Thank you for watching 🥰 I just checked the beis website to see if they ship to India and they don’t 😭 beistravel.com/pages/shipping

[@sylviabeso4449]

Hi. Thanks for all your tips. We are traveling to the Philippines in 2 months; do you have any tips for handicapped travelers? My husband needs wc or mobility scooter to get around. Your response is greatly app. Thank you.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hello! Wow Philippines in the spring will be so wonderful!! My friends are going in May! I would say try to call ahead at the places you can and they will likely help you a lot! Like airports and tours etc. 🤗 then the rest really depends on what you are going to be doing and where you are going :D I would say the cobblestone in older places like Europe for example are much harder to manage than regular flat floor too 😅. I work a lot in the clinic with wheelchairs and that is what I recommend!

[@erinbeltran1820]

I’m a mom (43) but have only flown 1x before but had my husband to do all the work. Now I’m having to fly with daughter. I’m really nervous/insecure. Is this normal for a parent? Also I love this lady’s video!

[@milodiaz8211]

I hope this helps im gonna get on a plane techically for the first time so wish me luck

[@buildyourmoxie]

🥳 you can do this!!!

[@reddwarfhead]

Another question, sorry!! You said that if they think anything is weird in your luggage they would open it up, that means we should not use those locks the luggage come with, right? Would the people at the security ruin your luggage if you have a lock on?

[@buildyourmoxie]

The security people have a very special key! They can open up the TSA approved locks which usually have a tiny hole on the bottom! 😃 So as long as your lock is tsa approved, you will be fine 🤗

[@dude-wh2wq]

What about customs and immigrations and that stuff

[@buildyourmoxie]

Take a look at the full video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5OUnZt5hsaKl7Msi=azX7mpvgW54MDM9A

[@penelopeworld1580]

I agree. Toy Story one is scary

[@buildyourmoxie]

🤣🤣yes!! I’m so glad you agree 😂

[@fancybymarina34]

What if i do check in online and print simply a boarding pass what is next,i will fly soon

[@buildyourmoxie]

I do that as well and get mobile boarding pass however I always like to visit the counter anyways because I’m always worried the rules will change lol. Plus if you have a check in bag you need to go to the counter :)

[@JellyfishCArebears-tt4ou]

Sooo I have to take out my iPad of my carry on put it in the bin can I keep my Apple Watch on or no? And is body piercings okay to keep on? I’m so nervous bc I’ll be going threw security alone since my momma has a machine in her stomach not to mention it’ll be my first time flying and I’m antisocial and have mini panic attacks when I’m not next to my mom not to mention I’ll be 16 yet I still feel like a child child and I get overwhelmed overstimulated so easily and I will literally cry and have a mental breakdown like I’m so unstable if a lot of people will yell at me or tell me what to do I have ODD

[@nexusSix_237]

I'd definitely take OFF the watch. Or better, just don't put it on at all till after security, just pack it in your Carry-On. Same with your belt, don't bother putting that on till after security. And don't have anything, anything in your pockets, not even a tissue, nothing. Also try not and wear any clothes with metal on them if possible. Jeans should be ok, lots of people wear jeans so i assume they calibrate for that. Is it alot of body piercing? If it's alot it might set off the machines, but since you said your mom has an implant , you guys will probably be pat down anyway, maybe. Your gonna have to inform them of the medical device right away.

[@sophylophy9332]

Question: If you're going through security and you have an empty metal water bottle, do you still put it in the trays?

[@buildyourmoxie]

You can keep it in your personal item :) no need to pull it out as long as it’s empty!

[@sophylophy9332]

@@buildyourmoxie thank you so much, these videos are such a lifesaver for me, a first time flyer. 🫶💜
