100 Airplane & Airport TRAVEL TIPS

Bad advice about grabbing overhead space before your seat—that is totally unfair to those sitting there, who will be forced to store their bags past their seats, causing chaos.

These are all great tips! One thing to keep in mind is that different airlines will also have different boarding procedures which may not necessarily board from the back to the front (Delta being a big example). Great video!

I'm a seasoned solo traveler and these were some awesome tips! Never thought to hop on a hotel shuttle 😂 That's amazing and I'm totally trying it! Thanks, Nadine!

A note on TIP 72, which I feel like I need to clarify: I meant this as an “if you are boarding late/last” situation. Not just anytime you board. Obviously, we all want the space above our heads, but for those boarding last I’ve seen them get to their seats and there is no more space, and then the flight attendant just ends up taking their bag up front anyways. It was meant more as a save time tip, not to be discourteous to your fellow passengers :)

I was born into a military family and was myself a soldier. I loved all of your tips and am surprised how simple and sensible most of them are. A few additions to consider: 1. As most men don't carry purses, I bring a large wallet on a lanyard that I've adjusted to my comfort. It is "RF proof" so credit cards can't be scanned, large enough for passport/ boarding passes/ money/ thumb drives and sd cards/ even cell phone. With the exception of security checks, it is always around my neck. If I lost everything else, this small item is everything I would need to arrive with. 2. My carry on has all my needed toiletries and and quick change of clothes (to include a pair of shower shoes) in case I'm forced to stay a prolonged time at an unplanned layover. 3. I've traveled at times with injuries and discovered that the longer direct flights can be quite uncomfortable so routes with an extra flight change can be a better option (Denver to Tokyo direct once did a number on my back). 4. Just to enhance your point on dressing in layers for the flight.. where and when you're traveling must play a part in your planning. Returning to find my car during a blizzard in Colorado Springs from the summer time in Manila made forethought a joyous point of pride! Good work!

I have one to add, if you are traveling in Winter, and flying out of a cold weather location, skip the first flight of the day if possible. There is a greater risk of delays for deicing, and complications that come with. Aircraft are turned off after the last flight of the day, so there is a high probability expecially in smaller aircraft for iced water lines, etc.

I bring a plastic shopping bag and put that inside that yucky seat holder and then I can put my stuff inside without it touching that yucky mesh holder! At end of flight I throw it out! Great video Nadine!

7:51 - If you're checking a bag and especially if you are switching from one airline to another or crossing borders - once you check your bag, check the baggage tag and even ask the person you're checking in with, and make sure it's checked through to your final destination airport. If it's not make sure you remember to collect it at the stop over

Great, Nadine! One more to add: Always keep your 🦶 warm on an airplane! No sandals/barefoot… Nobody wants to get a cold on holiday!

Additional TRAVEL Tips for MILITARY FOLKS: 1. Call your travel credit card company. Some will waive those nasty high annual fees for active duty personnel. 2. Don't travel in your uniform, especially during foreign travel. 3. Check with the airline rules on baggage for military travelers. Sometimes airlines allow additional free bags. 4. Visit the USO during long layovers for free snacks, drinks, and comfort. Some locations even have beds. 5. Carry your orders, some lounges allow free entry without a membership if you have orders. 6. Enter your DoD ID as your Known Traveler Number to get TSA PreCheck. 7. Keep all your receipts for reimbursements on official travel. 8. Have important phone numbers written down and on your person. 9. Subscribe to HeyNadine and get her How To Travel E-Book!

I have made it to 22 countries since watching your content back in 2017. Your tips are unmatched, and I am impressed that these are all new hacks! Especially the airport shuttle ❤

Always print out a copy of everything and keep it in a clear sleeved binder in your carry on. Much easier to look through quickly and keeps it organized

A little secret to erase your information on a boarding pass before you recycle it, put it against something hot without it catching on fire of course. It is not ink its thermal and the heat will remove your details :)

The connection time is paramount. If I can choose a longer one, I will because delays happen. I always choose an isle seat in the front so I can get off the plane fast to make my connection and a window for the last leg. Paper docs are best. I printed my immigration QR code for the Dominican. The QR codes weren't working on phones when we landed. I was able to bypass practically everyone who had to use their phone bc mine was printed out.

I would not leave my personal items like passport, cash, or credit cards, etc under the seat. Theyare always on my person in a small crossbody.

#70: don’t have such a large carryon in the first place, it’s being part of the problem.

I disagree with a couple of things. Not all airlines board back to front. Delta boards front to back. If you sit at the back on a full flight on Delta they will eventually make you check your carry on. We almost got caught on this. I also don’t agree with putting your luggage over someone else’s seat. If they are in their seat, ask first. If they aren’t there yet, than they will likely need the space. Plus you are going to hold up the unloading by having to stop and get your luggage down.

Compression socks have made long flights so much more manageable. Love them

Excellent video! Most comprehensive and straight to the point that I've seen yet!! Well done... I'm sure you've helped so many travelers already. Love it. 💕💕😊

Just back from Australia, 21 hours in total flying. Tips, warm jumper, compression socks, lip balm and eye drops (my eyes felt really dry). Wipes (anti bacterial and face wipes). Stop watching TV when eating, enjoy your food . Exercise at the back of the plane, squats, knee raises etc. Dubai airport is really big but it is very well sign posted plus you can always ask. Free showers in the toilets next to my gate! I dried myself off with a flannel!. Sleep on the plane if you can that is the best tip I can give!
