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.

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.

I think it varies among each person, of course. Like my dad's case, he was over 65, so he was at a higher risk. To be on the safe side, I would wear them. I wore them recently on a flight and my feet were not bugging me as much.

Thankfully your dad got medical attention in time. Just to add on, if you are going to another country where English is not universal, its hard to get medical help. I lost my god mum to DVT. She went to Germany, doesnt speak German at all, unable to communicate and the nearest hospital is a helicopter flight. All because the officers and whoever that was there, speak minimal English. If she was treated a few hours earlier when it happened, she would still be alive.

My tip. Plan to come to the airport 2-3 hours before. Delays due to traffic can happen and it can increase stress. Use the spare time to eat at the airport. Yes, the food is expensive, but way butter and less expensive then on board. Eating lowers stress and closes the long gap between meals. Eating also helps to concentrate and be full of energy. After a subnational meal you will fall asleep way better.

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.

I always select the seats at the back on an airplane, because chances are those seats might remain empty and you can find yourselves seating comfortably alone in a row. Have experienced this a few times and it was a delight to have all the space to put your handbag beside you, plus two or three tray tables to keep stuff . Plus always double check the name tag and airport codes while picking up your checked in baggage at arrivals, to avoid baggage mix up.

depends on the airline. has happened to me with Scoot & Air Malaysia (i had a carry-on size suitcase but it was probably expanded lol and I had a full backpack). however, JetStar didn't tell me I had too much until boarding was called and said it was too late to check the bag and my bag had to be on the next flight. I was testing my luck to see if I could carry it on but I was very annoyed that no one told me at check-in, then I had to pay to have my bag brought to my hostel so I didn't have to wait hours at the airport for my bag to arrive. it could have been brought on, but if not I'd rather had been told no earlier, even if i had to pay, since i had to anyways

How is this helpful? The point of a checked bag is to have an EXTRA (larger) bag AND a carry-on or to check a carryon bag and not have to roll it around the airport. Once you are at the plane and they tell you they will check it, you get neither of these advantages. In fact it just waste time at landing as you have to wait for it to come around on the luggage trolley instead of exiting the airport right away.

I, myself have been a frequent flyer for decades in the states and only twice "lost" my luggage; once because my unusual luggage was picked up by another male frequent flyer who ironically had the same color and brand of garment bag (boy was he surprised when he opened it up at end of the business day!) and the other was my fault for arriving and checking in late but the bag was sent on the next flight and delivered to my hotel (does that service exist today?). The only other time I had a problem with my luggage was going to the Bahamas with 2 checked-in luggage (scuba, scuba, scuba) and it was Christmas so one of the two was late 4 days because of...yes...Christmas).

If not, don’t be surprised if a note will be attached to your checked-in luggage upon arrival that reads “Luggage opened for inspection with unapproved TSA lock”. Your damaged padlock is stashed in your luggage side pockets. It happened to me. Lol!!!

an add-on to #26: instead of buying a cover put a t-shirt on top of the bag. it works just the same, but make sure to use a unique t-shirt, for example, a t-shirt from a place you have visited. also, make sure that the shirt is not too special because it might rip on certain conveyor belts. if you do not want to sacrifice a t-shirt, or you can't find one, try tying a bandana on the top of your bag, where the people tie your luggage tags. an add-on to #29: if you are using a neck pillow, secure it on the top of your carry-on. If it is a suitcase, tie it to the bottom, and secure it tightly. If you are using a backpack, then tie it on the handle. an add-on to #38: instead of buying an earphone splitter, just use a better quality version of the earphones they give on planes, though some people do not like these, they are not that expensive, and can work the same. add-on in general: if you need things like gum during your flight, buy it in places or stores like stop and shop, because they are cheaper there than in the airport, where things are like 3x more expensive. Try to only go to the airport main shops unless you really need something. add on in general: Even on your long road trips or car rides, bring a pack of goldfish or something else that is salty. first, lick the salt off of the cracker and then eat it.

Others have mentioned USB-A vs USB-C. It is also worth pointing out that public USB ports should not be trusted. You could be inadvertently be giving access to the data on your device. There are devices called USB data blockers that go between your cable and the port to only allow power to pass through. Better yet, bring your own charger. There are newer USB-C Gallium Nitride (GaN) chargers that pack a lot of power into small blocks. That allows you to get your phone or tablet recharged as quickly as possible.

one of my own tips from flying alot as a cameraman. when you go through security, make sure you inform them you have camera equitment. if you decide to bring any that is. most airlines demand to have camera battery in your carry on because they contain litum. by simply informing the crew at security, you can prevent further delays.

Security in some countries ask you to take the camera bodies out too just like other electronics and may ask you to turn them on briefly as well. So best to have the battery/s installed and charged.

Never put anything in that seat pocket! They are filthy. I bring an old plastic bag to line the pocket with, then put my stuff in it. Also, lock your suitcase zips with cableties/zap straps.....then you’ll know if someone has accessed your bags. You can always find a knife or scissors to cut them off when you arrive.

Im gonna have to wake up at 3am, do skincare, pack up, go to the airport at around 3:40 or 4:00am, eat, get snacks, buy things for the plane, and go on my plane at 8:40. Ive already made a checklist and grwm for what im gonna do before i go on my plane, things to bring on the plane, things to pack, and snacks to buy. Its much easier with a checklist before u go!

Be the last to check in online (2hrs b4 flight) and you can take 2 or even 3 empty available seats next to each other. It worked for me in my last 4 long distance flights since i use this strategy. People in the plane than say i am lucky, but i'm not.

#49 Fragile sticker: Watch out! Sometimes they will add limited release to fragile baggage which makes you lose some of your rights in case the bag is damaged by the airline. It's not worth it. Also no guarantee for it to be delivered early as it won't necessarily be offloaded first.

I’d be careful about the sunscreen. As I was going through TSA screening I tested positive for chemicals. After many uncomfortable minutes, it was discovered it was my hand lotion. If you’re going to use sunscreen, put it on after you get through screening.

Another flight tip - if you have to change planes on your way to Europe, try to do it in the US if at all possible. You have to do the whole customs shuffle and then go through security again to make your next flight. If you’re even a little bit tight in your connection, this is a huge wild card that can really mess things up.

#59 is me 100 percent. Sometimes they do samples in the liquor area. At Heathrow one time they even had a guy mixing drinks from the bottles they were promoting. Got 3 full size cocktails and 2 shots of whiskey. I did end up buying 2 bottles but basically cost about at much as if I'd bought the drinks at the airport - plus got to take the bottles home.
