Travel Terminology (Airline Jargon - Airport Definitions)

[@susandiekmann]

"Let us travel again." AMEN! Great video as always. Laurie!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes please! Demand is rising, and flights are being added. Places just need to let us in with masks on. Thank you for watching!

[@georgannelopez9494]

I love that you are sitting in an airport!!!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I was so excited until I saw people - did you see the bloopers at the end?

[@cindybridges3046]

LOL love the blooper interruptions. You're response is too funny. Thanks for the good information. I do travel a lot but things are always changing.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Glad you enjoyed! Ugh I was alone for so long lol.

[@moneybee]

Great walkthrough! I love that you filmed this in an airport too! Travel is my primary passion, and I love finding people that share that excitement! I can see this being incredibly useful for new or non domestic flyers!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I really hope it's helpful to them or people visiting USA for the first time. Thank you for watching!

[@ritasmoot1823]

Laurie, thank you for your very thorough tutorial! I have not flown in well over twenty years. I used to love to travel! Then my life took another direction and I could no longer travel. I cannot wait for this next season of life! As soon as I can travel I am going to and now I will be able to do so VERY WELL PREPARED! I feel like you come across as a close friend to those in your community here on KZbin. Thank you for everything you put into your channel! Rita from Missouri!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you, Rita. Enjoy this next season for sure.

[@marci2225]

I love it when you share your bloopers! Thank you for all of your vlogs and detailed information!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

There were so many that day during the virus. Thankfully hardly anyone was there at that time!

[@tammypearson4500]

Great information! When I travel, I look on KZbin for videos that give me information about different airports, airlines, customs info, places to eat, bathrooms, etc. Always helpful! The bloopers were hysterical. I feel ya!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, that's so smart! So many helpful KZbinrs with actual footage etc.

[@carmenirizarry7632]

Happy to see you again!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Welcome back! Thank you for watching. I was so embarrassed in the bloopers you could tell.

[@teresaanderson6370]

Good job. I never even considered all this jargon may be new to people. I'm going to have to check your channel for all the new 2020 stuff I might have missed. Thank you

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Please do! Thank you for watching!

[@slove2646]

Love your videos! One more reason to get the app as soon as you make your reservations...your flights can change! I reserved tickets in January for travel in July, and my flights changed 3 times. The app will notify you any time your reservation changes. It really saved me because at one point the change meant that I would no longer make it to my destination in time. I was notified in time to make alternate arrangements .

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing that!

[@susanterry8024]

Loving the travel tips from the airport!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

So glad! I was able to get in two videos while waiting...until employees started walking behind me lol.

[@susanterry8024]

TravelTipsbyLaurie Maybe they wanted to do cameo appearances in your video!!! 😉

[@miriam123]

Definitely needed to hear this… Thank you! So much to know…but I am understanding.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yay! You will do just fine.

[@harley24787]

I am flying out of Denver on Saturday morning with my 2 daughters and 3 grandbabies. We are heading to Myrtle Beach for 7 days of sunshine, sand and fun. CAN’T WAIT!!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Have fun! I wish I could go!! Enjoy all the sights from their perspectives. Big hugs! Thank you for watching!

[@mariav8628]

Very informative! The bloopers are the best. You’re to funny Laurie. TFS 😃

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you for watching!

[@Mrs_Cassagnol_2.0]

I absolutely love your videos and look forward to them. Thank you for all your great knowledge and tips! I’ve been binge watching your videos over the holiday break...definitely excited about traveling in 2021 😊

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Awesome! Thank you! I hope we can travel more and more.

[@carmenirizarry7632]

It was great, informative and funny!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks so much!

[@bretaskinner3143]

Interesting what you said about extra bags. Every time I traveled, I would see multiple people with roll-on luggage, a big duffel/tote, AND a huge purse. It will be nice to see some rules implemented!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, consistency among all parts of the flying experience would be great so no one ever is confused. Thank you for watching!

[@amandaquinones1364]

Hello Laurie another great tips video and the terms it’s good to refresh my memory on these things it’s been awhile since I’ve been at the airport or on a airplane ✈️ for me so when I do hopefully get to go I’ll been able to do it without any problems thanks for the bloopers I have to laugh when you react to the announcements

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

It was so frustrating lol. I was so embarrassed when gate agents started walking past me. I was alone for so long lol. Thank you for watching.

[@donnabachie2434]

Thank you Laurie

[@deborahconkle6822]

Ha,bloopers! So helpful Laurie❣️

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I think this will help someone. We all need a good laugh these days.

[@deborahconkle6822]

TravelTipsbyLaurie I’m sure it will,and we all could use a good laugh right about now ❤️

[@melodymills5432]

Great video. Thank you so much for the wonderful information.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you for watching!

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

Also, there are exceptions to the 2-bag rule, so it's worth it to note that. Generally, the airline will have a list on its website of what is exempt. Yesterday was the first time in several years where I managed to fly with only 2 bags (carry-on and personal item), as I usually have a 3rd bag whose contents are in the exemption category (U.S. airlines are required to allow things like a bag of medical equipment to be carried on free of charge, even if the passenger already has a carry-on and personal item in addition to it).

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for sharing; glad it went well btw.

[@GlamAssassin]

I love your tip about screenshotting your "ticket" I was once told to do that and use it as a Screensaver so I don't have to go through my pictures and feel rushed. Great video as always Laurie!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes! Great minds think alike! I hope this video helps someone who is new to travel. I do feel rushed sometimes, and I've been confidently flying for 18 years lol. Thanks for watching!

[@kris_tan]

Thanks for the video

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you for watching!

[@kellymillar28]

Very helpful, thanks! Does your carry-on need to be a certain weight limit? Now, I may have missed it when I looked at the airline websites but I only saw dimensions.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi Kelly. Here in the US we do not need to consider weight for carry-on bags. Thank you for watching!

[@kellymillar28]

sounds like Canada might work the same way.

[@sharonblais1111]

A great video! Thank you :) PS love the ending. LOL

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Haha thanks!

[@joysharpe1500]

Love your face & sounds when they talk over you!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hahaha it was so funny/frustrating. Just when I think they're through, they pipe up again loll

[@dianewaggner5019]

Thank you Laurie for the walkthrough, love you channel and it is always very helpful. Can we use a underseat carry-on spinner as a personal bag?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, absolutely, if it fits within your airline's personal bag dimension limits. If it does not fit, then just put it in the overhead bin. Thank you for watching!

[@ashleyb.715]

Thank you for the tips! Where did you get the cute black and white bag? :)

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi Ashley! This bag is amazing; huge and nice looking: bit.ly/2L1pHRM I hope it's still available. And thank you for watching!

[@ashleyb.715]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thank you. I’m enjoying your tips!

[@timwills4481]

I think I posted this to another video, but it bears repeating. On my last flight, I had a single carryon, a soft sided backpack, and the trip was MDW-DTW & DTW-LHR. The Chicago-Detroit segment was a 100-passenger regional jet (a CRJ 700 I believe) and Detroit-London was an A330. This was my first flight in around 14 years. The smaller airplanes have less room for stowing baggage, which I found out the hard way. To be fair on myself, I read the luggage instructions, and made it past the gate agent and at least one flight attendant, so I thought I was doing the right thing. At Midway, I made it to my seat in the back of the plane with my bag, where the flight attendant told me my bag wouldn’t fit. She told me to get my laptop and phone out of my bag; we planned for me to bring my bag to the door for gate checking after boarding was finished. The flight attendant decided to secure my bag to a seat behind me, for which I was most thankful. My bag fit perfectly fine under the seat on the London flight.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That is so bizarre. Passengers do not know that part of their flight will be on a small plane; I really think airlines should make it abundantly clear when tickets are bought. How'd you like the 330? Thank you for watching.

[@sanjuanaguerra4880]

Do I need to recheck my seat number?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi you can if you want to.

[@sanjuanaguerra4880]

Ok thank you. I wonder what's the size limit on the personal bag. To go to Cancun Mexico? I live here in Pasadena TX.. Can I please have the airport number? To ask. Thank you 😊

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

@@sanjuanaguerra4880 Oh, hi! The airport does not make the bag rules; it will be your airline. And each airline could be different so check with your airline. You can google your airline + carry-on size requirements or just call them. Plan to be on hold for a long time though.

[@sanjuanaguerra4880]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thank you so much for responding Laurie ❤️ I love your channel. And thats so awesome that you can travel the 🌎 👍 I can't wait to get to Cancun.!! I'm so excited 😊 🤗

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

Something that should be noted is that for gate checking a carry-on, for small planes (e.g. United Express jets) where they make you gate check your carry-on bag, for those, they return your bag to you at the gate. For when you volunteer to gate check your carry-on, they will almost always check it all the way through to your final destination, and you have to pick it up at baggage claim. The type of tag they put on it will make it clear whether you will pick it up at the gate or at the baggage claim. I bring that difference up because the first time I asked the gate agent to to gate check my bag, it was sent to baggage claim, and I had to spend 2 1/2 hours on my layover picking it up, getting the issue sorted at the check-in desk (they weren't actually supposed to send it to the baggage claim), going back through security, and finally getting back to my gate (my flights that day were on 2 separate tickets, hence why they wanted to send it to the baggage claim after the first flight and I had to go through the airport again).

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Ooh, that is good. Thank you!!

[@bridgetsnapp3718]

Is there a certain time of year to buy airfare cheaper? What is the best airline to fly?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I do not know of cheaper time of year to buy. But every time you search, they can track that and will probably increase the cost. We choose airlines that have great prices but can get us to the destination with no layovers if possible.

[@PrincessofErised]

I never have a problem with space in my carryon and bag. My problem is with the weight! Please do a video on how to get that down. I was beside myself trying to get my combined bags under 14lbs. I don't mind, that is about how much I can lift over my head anyway, but some clever tips would be great.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

PrincessofErised I learn best by experience and have never done that. I highly recommend the 5 K Traveler blog for a start. She’s so helpful. I do think it is so unfair to be so restrictive on weight. So sorry you have to worry about that.

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

Let me ask you this: Are flights being boarded from the rear of the plane first?? Thanks for all the handy videos you make ;)

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes they are on most airlines. I have a Travel Updates video coming out next week with all the newest changes...maybe I'll upload it this weekend.

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thanks. So now...US citizens can't travel to Finland. Sheesh it's such a roller coaster, well hopefully things will change again and in January....maybe we can go. :/ yikes

[@shockwave1126]

In regards to the airliner app, what happens if someone doesn't have a smart phone ? Do airports allow you to connect to their wifi? I ask because I use a prepaid phone and would be the only way I can use their app once I'm there.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I think you could, but the app would be tied to your credit card with all of your information. I think you may have to have a smart phone. But you can also just check in on your airline's website and print your ticket (boarding pass) at home or at the ticketing line right when you walk in the airport.

[@ashleyb.715]

My little girl is nervous about flying. It would be great if you could do a video parents can share with their children about what to expect at the airport and on the plane. :) Just an idea.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

ooooh.....my teaching crafts could be used again! LOVE it!

Oh my word thank you for watching this old video when airports were empty. How did you find this one? What were you searching for on KZbin? Not many people saw it back then.

[@ChaseSchofield-dj2pb]

[@averymaryheart6679]

Well yes this is helpful I’ll have to watch it again to remember everything it all just seems more complicated these days.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

If you think of it in sections and do stuff at home it may help. Don't miss the other videos about first time flying on my channel. Thank you for watching!

[@sanjuanaguerra4880]

What if you are traveling vip?

[@renee4495]

Just so you know, emailing or calling the TSA with a question in advance concerning whether or not an item can be carried on board doesn’t always work. You may get a “yes”, but even if you print the email showing the “permission”, if a TSA agent at the security says “no”, they toss it.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That could happen; know before you go. Thank you for watching!
