Just stumbled into this video; you’ve made my day with the thought of airlines having dress codes. The only way I fly anymore is if I can’t drive there! And I have used the auto train and ferry ships across Lake Michigan to avoid flying. I come from the time when you dressed up to get on an airplane not only because you wanted to look good when your family or friends picked you up at the other end, but for the consideration of your very close fellow passengers. I feel that you can wear comfortable clothing for traveling without wearing pj’s and flip flops! Come on people you’re adults act like it!!!! Thanks for the great info on your video. I’m planning a trip to Europe next year and hopefully I will not have to rely on sedation to survive the flights. But I will pack those just in case some inconsiderate jerk who hasn’t taken a shower in days sits next to me.

[@VincentLauria6]

Until they remove these idiotic screenings, I saw we all travel naked

[@RVA1954]

As long as everyone is forced to shower before entering the plane that would be an improvement.

[@Bluetangg]

You need a sedative because of someone’s smell?

[@RVA1954]

No! First of all I’m claustrophobic so airplanes cause me issues, then the fact that they’re always packed makes it worse and then you add someone with BO and that makes me nauseous. So I survive flying by taken medication to avoid panic attacks or puking on some inconsiderate jerk (which I’ve done) who won’t shower daily especially when knowing that they’re going to be in close quarters with other people.

[@TxHornyToad]

If you go to Europe you will be sitting by/near many people who don’t comply with US standards of hygiene, so get used to it.

[@joebtraveling225]

When arriving in the US from Aruba, passport control is handled entirely in Aruba. You still go through the two part process but it is fast and the 2nd part which is considered the US side of it uses TSA precheck. You go directly to your next gate upon arrival in the US if you have a connecting flight.

[@PinkieSmith]

Regarding the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), travelers who are citizens of visa-exempt countries will need to have this authorization before they will be allowed into EU countries that require it for short-term stays (up to 90 days). It is only good for short-term stays. There are 30 countries in the EU that require visa-exempt travelers to have the ETIAS travel authorization. It will be linked to their passport. There are a few exceptions to needing the ETIAS authorization, and people will need to check to see if any would apply to them. The ETIAS is NOT a visa, and it is not payment for a visa. It’s good for 3 years, or until your passport expires (whichever happens first). When you renew your passport, you will also need to renew the ETIAS authorization (even if you still have time left on your 3 years). From what I’ve read, the system is meant to make sure you are who you say you are, and to make sure you’re not a wanted criminal anywhere in the world or would be barred from entry because of a past criminal record. Could probably also be helpful in finding missing persons and victims of human trafficking.

[@notthatyouasked6656]

And don't forget, you will be fingerprinted upon arrival in the EU.

[@sherryolsen7371]

Clarification: ETIAS authorization required even if you already have US passport that is still valid? Although called a Visa Waiver; I a US Citizen with passport will need the ETIAS to travel to various (not all) countries in the EU.

[@evelyngolden2272]

Does that mean Trump can't travel to the EU?

A CBP Officer a mother with two preschool children trying to cut the 2 hour line & sent her to the back of the line with the threat of refusing her ability to fly at all that day! The people in line silently snuck her to the front of the line, lifting the line control ropes to hide them behind groups of tall people! The people in front watched for the CBP officer, whose rounds brought herto our line a few times. Everyone in line was completely silent about moving this family forward to catch their flight.

Most women "over pack". When I went to Spain in 2019, my sister told me to get a carryon only, and I did. I had zero room to bring back souvenirs. I luckily had a large hand bag, and my souvenirs had to be minimal, and fit in my handbag. I made it work....but my sister and her daughter had so much luggage. I was so upset with her because I did without certain items, and she totally ovetlooked the "pack light rule".

[@breadroomghost8764]

Most women overpack is a huge blanket statement

[@Zoenow09]

One trick for carry on only is to pack a few clothing items you are planning on getting rid of. Wear them while on the trip and donate them at the end. I just did this on a recent trip. That leaves you some room to pack souvenirs. The other option is to pack a lightweight duffle or purchase one or a suitcase at a thrift/charity shop near the end of the trip and check it in. I've also done this in the past. Traveling with a carry on and small backpack or personal item is so much easier and your luggage doesn't get delayed--which has happened to me several times!

Not sure Global Entry would have been any good as I didn't get it until a future trip out of the country (they had some other fast track system, but didn't see signs for Global).

WARNING-This video is very incomplete. She did not even mention the new visa requirements to enter the United Kingdom starting January 2025. If you are an American citizen, you will need to apply for an online visa to visit any part of the United Kingdom. This is not the visa soon to be required by the European Union (ETIAS), but a separate one because the United Kingdom is not part of the European Union. For American citizens travel to foreign countries is going to get more complicated in 2025 and require more pre-planning before you leave home.

[@gwomack12]

True, and this is the same if you are traveling to Australia. You will be prompted to purchase a Visa for temporary stay or whatever duration of time each country requires, and you can purchase online, which is cheaper or purchase it at the airport, much more expensive. She is discussing general travel changes. 😉

I never thought of human feet as offensive, unless they smelled funny at close range! I usually wear flip flops in the Caribbean, plus if they're going to make me take my shoes off to go through security it's way easier. Maybe I'll have to take moccasins or something just in case...

The “kids fly free” thing isn’t right. Anytime someone is taking up a seat, they should have to pay for it. The airlines will just raise their prices on the rest of us to make up for the “free” flyers.

They are still paying for the seat. It’s the fee to pick a seat that is going away for children.

[@brianrjones5405]

Wait, what? Children under 13 fly free with their families? Who exactly is footing the bill for those seats? I’m beyond frustrated with constantly subsidizing other people's kids. If you choose to have children, it should be your responsibility to cover their costs, not mine. Why should the rest of us face higher fares so your kids can travel for free? They're your kids, after all. The entitlement some people have, expecting the public to shoulder the costs of their choices, is truly astonishing. Outrageous!

[@terripalmer1647]

Right, first time I have ever heard this. I think it said 13 and under. 13 years old is an eight grader getting ready to go into high school. What the heck !!

[@jadoremakeup1422]

No, she didn’t say 13 and under travel for free. The rule is the airlines will seat kids aged 13 and under adjacent to accompanying adults at no additional fees above the cost of the seat.

[@PantherMom512]

Yes! Thanks Jadore! The Family pays for the seats! SOME airlines don't immediately assign seats. Some Families arrive at airport & learn that (for crazy reasons) they are scattered around the plane! And the airline could require a "convenience fee" to conjoin the family seats‼️🤬 Think "Home Alone". 😢

[@moonwolf3378]

ALL kids are welcome and we should encourage and subsidize kids because when you are old and gray, those kids will be working and maintaining the system that affords your perpetual wealth… don’t be like China

I also went through US Customs on the Ireland side when I flew out of Dublin. Was great to land home and just go on with my life instead of having to wait in a massive Customs line after a big flight. Would honestly love to see this become the norm in more foreign airports.

Tough love, don’t postpone the Real ID date because people or states didn’t comply. We need to start going back to the days where there are consequences for not complying with requirements. There’s no excuse for not getting Real ID taken care of by now. There is too much chaos because there is a lack of enforcement with laws. Time to be adults.

[@KayoEll]

Some states are trying to make real ID meaningful, others are half-assing it. We're still a Federation of states, and the Federal government still has to defer to the sovereignty of the states in some things. Tell me how Real ID makes you safer in any real and meaningful way.

It's nice that you have the ability to be so judgemental of others. Women face an added requirement of showing proof of each marriage and divorce.

[@NoName-ik2du]

The U.S. is a big place with a large variety of cultures/climates to explore all on its own. If you only take a trip every few years, you could go decades without ever having to leave the U.S. for novel experiences. Couple this internal variety with the cost and hassle of international travel (vs just throwing some stuff in your car and driving off), and many Americans can't justify trips outside the country.

[@annemarieritchie6741]

Many Americans have very provincial attitudes and don't value experiences over material things. They rarely speak a second language and are intimidated if they go someplace where English is not the official language. Many people don't even travel outside their own region in the USA and have very negative views of people and places they have not even met. We have many wonderful places to see here at home and they don't even travel for that and they don't have the excuse of not having a passport.😢

Y'all... they are just FEET. They are probably cleaner than hands because you don't use them to wipe your butt and you can't get your toes up to your nose to pick it. And don't even bother telling me you wash your hands after you use the restroom. I wash my hands the recommended amount of time (because I'm a pediatrician and I know better), and typically a minimum of three people "wash" their hands in the amount of time it takes me to wash mine. And then they grab the faucet with their "clean" hand to turn it off. 🙄
