If you need to charge your phone then just make sure the cable is for charging only and not a data cable. A charging cable only connects the power so the phone can't be hacked.
Always go the gate BEFORE you go into the lounge. That way you know exactly where it is and how long it takes to get there.
Filing a false baggage claim to get a “shopping spree” for an empty piece of checked baggage is a felony
quick hack after traveling and sharing an apartment w friends-do something like colored duct tape, stickers, tags etc to mark your charging bricks and cables as yours! everyones stuff looks alike and like suitcases, its too easy to grab someone else's stuff. I used florescent green duct tape to stripe my stuff and it also helped me to see it and not forget it on plane and in hotels/apartment. great video, lots of useful info!
Pro tip: When going through the security checkpoint always put your laptop and electronics in the last bin at security. If you’re delayed, someone could grab them and leave before you’re through.
instructions unclear, flirted with the self check-in kiosk
I’m going to check out the tip on taking a hotel shuttle and grabbing an Uber from there. My last Uber with surge pricing was a total kick in the balls.
Note: Meanwhile airlines know the hack of a stuffable neckholder pillow and count it as personal item. As well a fanny pack (even it's just a small one) is counted as personal item. Most airlines allow only 1 carry-on and 1 personal item and are really strict with their rules. So, be prepared to stuff your neck pillow/fanny pack in your carry-on/personal item.
We always tell friends and family that it’s fine to charge your backup battery at the airport or on the plane, but then use the backup to recharge your phone. We bought those USB data blockers a few years ago and use those in hotels - although forgetting you used one the next morning and leaving it stuck in the outlet is a real possibility 😳
So much great info, Mitch! I usually watch YouTube at 1.25 speed but I had to slow this one down so I wouldn't miss anything. I watch a LOT of travel hack videos, and you gave a lot that I had never heard before. Thanks for another winner!
By far the best travel hacks I have seen to date. Very thorough, thank you
I’m always distracted by his eyes and love his voice! 😊
Bring a power bank, charge the power bank and then charge your phone with your powerbank. Better yet if your power bank allows passthrough
I aways download area Google Maps and Translate with the local language. Saves data usage when abroad. I always prepurchase esims. Noise canceling headphones, eyeshades, inflatable neck pillows and a couple Benidryls have served me well on my long distance flights, Last year, one 15.5 hours and another 14.5 hours, both within 10 days.

If some random person flirted with me to get something out of it that would have an adverse effect on me tbh
You are totally right with your lounge tip: You want to be at the airport earlier to enjoy lounge access, this removes a lot of stress of the unpredictability of security
Excellent tips. Thanks.
For smokers: always ask if there is a smoking area after security, most airports there is not. So time your last cigarette accordingly.. because you wont be able to have one after you go through security.
Thank you. Going to Vietnam in three weeks to see if I want to retire there. :)
