The other thing people need to keep in mind when you're wearing clothes on a flight is that yes there are 200 300 people on your flight and if you're on an international flight there can be upwards to 600 people everyone has control over their own air flow. If 300 people on an airplane all turn their AC valve above their head on and the plane is going to hundred miles an hour your plane is going to feel like an igloo in about 10 minutes. It's the exact same concept when your car cools off faster because you're driving faster...

Point three (do not wear tank top and/or shorts) could be right in most cases but you will never know the temperature. When I flew from Thailand to Hong Kong with Air Asia, the plane barely had AC and everyone suffered in heat. I was glad that I wore a tank top. My tips to this point is that wear layers for your upper body!

iamkellij While you wait for Lindsay to make a video about this subject, I thought I would contribute some information. If you haven't already, go to Google Flights and explore flights leaving a major city near you under the "explore" tab on Google flights. It will list some really cheap flights to random locations you probably haven't thought about. Which will give you a cheap starting point to get over the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean at least (if you're in the USA). And from that location you can make further plans to build on the trip making it inexpensive. There are many round trip international tickets for well under $500.00, like on Norweigan and WOW airlines for example. Some are even $350 RT. Sometimes, you have to go out of your way literally to find a great bargain and travel cheap. Good luck.

Download the app of which ever major airport you are arriving/departing from...then before you go on the flight make sure you know exactly which terminal you come out of and which you arrive at. This + the app will help you map out exactly where you need to go once you land, making it one efficient journey from terminal x to terminal y. The worst thing you could do is come unprepared and get yourself lost. Most carriers and booking sites will cover the layover, but if you’re still worried just purchase travel insurance (which will cover many other things as well. Just read the fine print).

You can either take it by capsule/pill or in delicious tea forms available in almost any grocery store and certainly at tea or health food stores.

Also, as a frequent international traveler, getting Gloval Entry is THE BEST thing I ever did!

A good time for flying, if you bring a bag of anything, either make a small hole or open the bag before you take off. My last flight to another state, while we were still rising, I had a bag of chips at my feet and the bag slowly inflated! I was panicking because I didn't it to make a large popping sound, because we know that any sorta loud noise is not only frown upon, but also incredibly risky when it comes to security. That bag of chips could have easily ruined my entire flight home.

For sleep aids!!! If you get restless legs from Tylenol PM (or similar), like me, it's because the sleep aid is Diphenhydramine. Also, IF melatonin doesn't do jack diddly squat for you (like me as well)...I HIGHLY recommend getting a sleep aid with Doxylamine!!! I learned about the differences between the two when I was pregnant. Unisom Sleep Tabs are the most common sleep aid with Doxylamine, but places like Walgreens have a generic version. Start with 1/2 a tablet to see how it effects you.

Not sure if someone answered your clear question but Clear is on the same lines as TSA Pre-check but slightly higher if you ask me. Clear can jump the TSA Pre line. The downside is it isn’t in every airport yet so membership for it might not be worth it unless you are going through the airports that have it. Global Entry is something totally separate that automatically includes TSA Pre-check and expedites your entry back into the states from international flights.

When you're in a flight, the air in the cabin can be really dry. That's why it's not recommended to drink soda or alcohol because these beverages will dehydrate you quicker than other beverages. I also prefer to pack dry snacks like biscuits or cookies because I think some airports don't allow fresh fruits into the flight. I've never heard about Global Entry before this so I guess this is for the U.S. only? And finally... yes to carry on!

Going on my first flight in 11 years on the 21st of this month. My last trip was when I was 8 and I don't remember any of it. I'm not afraid of flying or anything, but I do have an anxiety disorder that makes me incredibly anxious if I don't know what to expect or go in blindly. I'll have my mom/boyfriend/brother with me so I won't be alone, but a girl is still shook lol. It also doesn't help that I am overweight (started a weight loss journey recently) and will most likely need to discreetly ask for a seatbelt extender on the flight. This alone has me absolutely terrified. I'll be next to my boyfriend who doesn't care if I "spill" into his seat (🙄 i'm a size 24 so the word spill is ridiculous) but i'm still terrified of the uncertainty if I need one/how to ask/who to ask and everything. This eased a ton of anxiety about airport protocol so thank you!

Katie Caruthers ah! I actually had a quick bit on this in the video but I cut it out because this vid ended up way longer than anticipated, lol. So you might want to do your own research but I don't think dressing nice will get you upgrades anymore and the reason is, airlines upgrades are mostly determined by loyalty programs now. I only know this because I fly Delta all the time and now that I have status, I get bumped a lot and I usually know before the flight because they send a list of all available upgrades beforehand. To me, that makes me think that the days of getting a surprise upgrade at the airport are gone or limited. I'm not sure thought so definitely do your research but might not be worth dressing up anymore (unless you just want to dress up.) :) thanks for watching and happy travels!

Lindsay Mc I figured that was the case, but definitely wanted to check with a pro. I'd MUCH rather be comfy on the flight anyway:) Thanks so much for your reply and always putting out such great content! It's coming in handy for my big trip.

Katie Caruthers it's always worth a try. But really depends on the person at the counter and if he or she likes you or not. A good story always helps. Tired from doing charity work abroad? Stuff like that :) But keep it believable haha. Otherwise just look out for deals. Flying business doesn't have to be that expensive. I fly business from oslo to bejing often for 1200 euro.. I know that there are people who pay more then that for a coach ticket on the same plane as i am on every time.

I'm going to Bangladesh, Malaysia and Singapore for 1 month. I need to take a suitcase full of clothes and gifts. I don't really think that carry on will cover all that but other than that great video :)

In tip #5, you recommended bringing your own herbal tea. I've seen many videos and warnings from flight attendants about not having tea or coffee on the plane. The water they use is not filtered and the lines aren't cleaned very often! That's why they give you bottled water to drink!

One thing overlooked is that the booze actually helps people who are afraid to fly. It has a calming effect that helps relax that flying anxiety. I say this because it consistently helped me.

clear is a service that you can use international or domestically, if the airports you are going to have the clear service. What it is is you and up to 3 minors (I think) will skip the hole line you even skip the stupid agent and you go right to wear you put your things in bin you and your hole family my dad, my mom and my sister are all 18 and over so i go as a minor under one of there names and skip the whole line and to sign up you go to the airport 10 to 15 min earlier than you normally would for your flight and you sign up its super easy i love it! but make sure your airports have clear

Standby! If you're flying as a nonrev(no cost) you're expected to dress up because they consider you a 'representative of the company'. In fact, remember that United yoga pants story? That's what that was. I wear a blouse and slacks until I board, then change. No fun, but hey, worth it.

My Dad works for an airline and so we flew a ton when I was a kid. We didn't dress up but did dress nicer then sweats and stuff. If we needed to do 1st class it was so different. They expect teens to be dressed fancy too.

here's another tip; when traveling with elderly relatives or friends, make sure to request wheel chair access. You get pushed through the front of the security checkpoint quickly, and you get to actually get a break from carrying their stuff.

I only travel to Arizona in the summer and then it’s 100 degrees + when we fly in the morning but last year out flight was was at night but I still had to wear shorts because there night average is 70 degrees and that’s hot for a Minnesotan but at least I get to make fun of my cousins when I go down there because they are cold baby’s and they think 70 degrees is cold 😂 also I’m a minor and I fly with just my brother and he’s a minor and it’s awesome because we get blankets, pillows, free food and drinks, and we board first and get off last

Ginger ale is the only thing that cures my nausea on a long flight. Otherwise, I totally agree with all these tips.

Diana Buck You could try ginger tea! the thing that calms your stomach is the ginger in it, which is proven to help stomachs being less uneasy, and If you have ginger tea it is more healthy, and will still help your stomach.
