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

I am facing some anxiety thinking I might end up lost in the airport because it's my first time traveling via airplane and it's international.

[@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

[@EMAILSPAM-c6p]

Something I suggest if you are young (in teens) traveling alone is to dress slightly older than your age. If you look more adult you blend in more, but if you are obviously child looking it makes you more susceptible to creepy people, singling you out.

[@ratheonhudson3311]

Thank you for this tutorial One thing about liquids and specifically perfumes, they must have a cap over the push down button. One reason is that during the transit from conveyor to plane and back home there's a lot of times it bumps and throwing involved. As cap wills prole vent accidental spraying. If you want to sent a nice scent gift and you pick it up at half capacity either the small plastic tube was twisted and broken and it's leaking, or repeated squirt during all the time caused it to go. Speaking from experience :(

[@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!

[@buildyourmoxie]

WOAH 6 months! I love Thailand SO much!! If you go to Phuket, take a look at Oasis spa in Laguna. WOW lol. I got a 2.5 hour treatment (1 hour body scrub of your choice, 1 hour massage, 30 minute facial) with private room and bathroom. The scenery was SO beautiful and they let you pick your scrub. It was 80 usd and a treatment like that in America would be over $700 to $1000 for sure in a beautiful place. Probably even more lol. Your mom sounds like a lovely person

Thank you for the super informative video! I have 1 question, though. When you're doing a layover, what are all the steps ? Do I have to find my luggage (or they'll transfer it automatically for the next flight), check in again at the counter, go through security and then find my Gate or when I arrive at the airport, I simply go and find my Gate ?

[@erin_aviles]

Hi Erica! These were very helpful tips. I’m traveling solo for the first time in 2 weeks to New York from TX. I’m nervous alright! 😅 I’ve heard that when you’re at your gate and are about to line up, they line you up with your “group”. What does that mean? I assumed that everyone just lines up together to get onto the plane. How do we know exactly what group we’re in?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hello! :) thanks for watching erin! Hehe. For boarding group, this will be on your boarding pass! :). Sometimes it is letters sometimes it is numbers. Usually first group is first class, business class or priority :). Make sure you go when your group is called so you can get overhead space for your carry on bag :). They do this to stay organized and to reward those who paid more money or those who checked in early

All water bottle filling stations are so different! :P so some may be super cold still. But i would say most that i encounter it is room temperature. The size of bottle is up to you. I try not to bring more than 32 ounce bottle because it will take up too much space.

I'm 18 here and this is my second time ever getting on a plane, first time by myself and I just gotta say i thought it would be 10x as stressful and have a lot more steps, looks like the hardest step is actually in my opinion getting the boarding pass and check in bag however if i just have a carry on and no check in bag do i still need to go the counter? . Thank you for keeping it simple!

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi! :) great question!! I would say in a way you are correct. The line to check in and checking in the larger check in suitcase can be stressful for some because the line can be long. If you do not have a checked bag, and you already have your mobile boarding pass, then you can skip this step and head straight to security yay! :). However me personally, i still like to have a hard copy. So i dont walk to the counter and instead i just head over to the kiosk to get a printed boarding pass. :). But really if you have mobile boarding pass and your carry on, you are good to go

[@buildyourmoxie]

Sometimes there might not be a kiosk to get your boarding pass. So if there is no line, I’ll just run up to get a printed one at the counter. But sometimes i skip this and just head to security if I’m doing carry on only and i have my boarding pass on my cell phone

Before the flight is fine! :)

[@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 🤗

It should say on your boarding pass :). But always check that board with all the electronic numbers everywhere. Look for your flight number and time and then it will tell you which gate to go to :). If you are still unsure, ask a staff member

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 😊

So I'm taking a cross country flight next month that is going to be roughly four and a half hours. It's not the first flight that I've ever taken, but it is the first one that I've taken in about fourteen years, so I'm a bit lost. I've read that neck pillows don't count as your carry on or personal item. Is this accurate? Also, can you take a neck pillow and a lumbar pillow? I have pretty severe chronic pain and understand that flying in the main cabin (not sure if this is any different from economy) isn't the most comfortable, even for healthy people. If need be, would getting a note from my doctor help make things easier? I'm taking a Delta flight for reference.

Hi Ben! Some airlines are different. Some want you to have your pillow inside your personal item or carry on. If you have the puffy ring one and can’t fit it inside your personal item or carry on, I recommend just wearing it on your neck as you pass the boarding people to get on the plane. I’ve never seen anyone tell a passenger to take it off. You just have to pass the people that scan your boarding ticket then you can take it off your neck lol. It’s very common for people to bring pillows but I always take the extra step to wear it just in case the scanning people are in a mood lol. Sometimes you can hook it onto your luggage handle but I’ve seen some airlines tell you to put it in your bags hence that’s why you can wear it. I use the trtl pillow because it’s very small. amzn.to/45eotba Also I recommend using a sweatshirt for lumbar pillow. And sometimes international flights will provide one. Here is a video I think will help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGq8fpZ9pLadkNksi=bqidLn6r-7cmDdLc

Ive never been on a plane. Im nervous about the takeoff and how itll make my stomach feel lol for referemce, a swing set make my stomach feel like im being stabbed. The dropping sensation hurts. I hope the takeoff feels smooth

If you’re traveling domestically do you still need your passport to show at the counter? Do we just show them our online boarding ticket, drop off the bag, and they’ll give us our printed ticket?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Are you from the United States? If so, you just need drivers license (Real ID) Go to counter when you get there to drop off bag. And they can print you a paper boarding pass if you want.

[@grapeleiva2266]

@@buildyourmoxie ok, thank you! And I heard something of giving a plane confirmation number to the worker. Is that number used to check in to our flights?

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@grapeleiva2266 as long as you have ur boarding pass, no worries :). The boarding pass has everything on it that you need. To get the boarding pass you need your ID When you board the plane, the people will scan it.

Hi Erica😎🌺💕

[@buildyourmoxie]

🤩🙋🏻‍♀️hello!!!! 😁 woo!

[@melissajones__]

Do i have to take off my jewelry at the security?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Only big pieces like watches usually! If it’s huge heavy earrings or necklaces or bracelets they might make you take it off! But like little earring studs and dainty jewelry you will be fine ❤️

[@inaa0808]

Thanks
