What do you think about all these changes coming in 2025 for travel? Especially what American airlines is doing to handle the "gate lice" problem! Thanks for watching ❤
I think the RealID was long over due. ETIAS is just catching the rest of the world to basic travel standards. Apple air tag upgraded was much needed and love the intergration with Delta and other airlines. AA is setting the standard for gate lice but agree with your suggestions regarding boarding. Thanks so much for your content!
“Gate lice” occurs because of the policy of not having a strict designation of overhead bin space. If overhead bin space is restricted to the specific passenger in the corresponding seat, not allowing anyone else to place their luggage in other bin spaces, then no one would be rushing to board the plane covertly.
@@cindywilkinson1610 Hopefully passengers want to keep their baggage close to them. A cabin attendant may be able to warn people and prevent that problem.
I would love it and think it hilarious as well as almost completely stopping gate lice if an announcement went out over the loud speakers saying "GATE LICE ALERT" anytime someone attempted to board when it wasn't their time.
As long as the airline doesn’t ignore the alarm because they hear it so much and people get out of the way so the right people can board, I’m looking forward to it working. I’m never in a hurry to board because I just figure it’s more time sitting on the flight.
Real Ids just dont make sense to me, at least in my specific scenario, arizona gives licenses for 50 years or until you turn 65 whatever comes first so its basically a 1 in a lifetime thing, I travel a lot internationally so i need a passport card or book anyways which doubles as a real id, so paying more for a drivers license that is valid for 10 years and costs more doesnt make any sense
@@elainekenny9341 that makes more sense, i've never been to any other dmv other than adot so i didnt know, guess this is why its so rare to see people with realIDs in az.
Very informative information. I came across your video on how to get the best price on flights. I am flying to Tahiti in Nov of 2026 and flying home from fiji. I was told by the cruise line that i am unable to fly in a day earlier to Tahiti but can fly home a day later in Fiji. I am trying to get the best price from Logan international to Tahiti a day earlier. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank u
Thanks for watching. I am a little confused on your exact situation. But if this fight booking is for Nov 2026 there is a good chance flight options will change by that time. So I would just keep looking once or twice a month and keep track of how those prices are fluctuating. You might notice some better flight options as you get closer to your travel date.

Very good point! Thanks for watching ❤️
Amen brother
Thumbs up 👍 Ian….when are you coming back to Thailand 😎
Very information dense. Excellent quality. Thanks for the video.
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Boarding would be easier if economy boarded the BACK of the plane before the FRONT of the plane, like they do now.
But then, of course, the overhead bins up front would be filled before passengers in front of plane could board....

Great Tips!
Glad you like them!
You are Golden for all these nuggets

Haha that would for sure get peoples attention! Thanks for watching ❤️

Posted a day too soon. Time to add the UK’s ETA requirement (effective 8 Jan) for travelers even transiting through UK airports.
With the ID what about those from outside the U.S that don’t have any those markings 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Most states only issue driver licenses for 2, 4, 6 or 8 years so your state is an exception.

Ty for reply
What about the UK’s ETA which is in effect now?
Yes you are correct! My apologies I did not include that info in this video!
@@thetravelcoaches I am in London but I haven’t heard how it’s going today, the first day of implementation. Hopefully smoothly
All this time I thought it was in place. I thought they would get a notice if people weren't in the right group.
Brother , the Idea of ETIAS is just MONEY!
