I travel in 2 days and I’m scared of my connecting flight I am scared I’m gonna miss it or get on the wrong one haha
If I can do it I’m sure you’ll be fine and there NO away they are going to let you on the wrong plane hahaah. So where are you going anyways!?
What about luggage?
@@mjvalenc94 I'm wondering about that too
I’m actually booking one soon and it’s a connecting flight so I’m kinda confused 😂
@@raphaelojighjo5771 yes it really can be confusing! Idk which airline you'd be using but Qatar has supported me in every way possible! I'm a student club member of them and the facililes they provide are better among any other! So it all depends on which airline you using.
well done mate..everyone was super nervous for the first time
Man this is a well produced video and you deserve more views
Can't tell if you're being sincere or not so i'm going to choose to view this as a complement =)
Connecting flights can be a pain.
Props for landmarks in the town. I like to see other areas.
Tip: If you are connecting in Miami, from a Domestic to a International or vice versa. Make sure you have at least 1 Hour and 45 minutes to switch. Because you have to go across the airport. And go through security again.
Thank you so much! I have a connecting flight from Texas to Miami and I'm nervous
@@yuli1_266 how did it go? I’m nervous bc my international connection flight is coming up.
@@ladypink3473 how did your international flight go? I have a connecting flight with a 55 min layover.
@@cheykhristovska how did yours go i have one coming up?
@@kickinitwithkish2611 I missed mine due to bad weather. But on my way back I was fine. Just cut it very close.
Yes been searching for a video like this I travel in 18 days and need to know what to do. Thanks
Sweet. Where are you off to?
Im going to see my bf for the first time
@@magueriette Same🤣
I’m 15 and have a connecting flight 😬 nervous
Love your positive energy man!
Sweeet thanks. Important to stay positive
This is brilliant thankyou.. you are right.. someone talking about doing it is very different to watching the actual process. I will be flying alone next year and already feeling nervous haha
Hey thanks! Yeah I personally like seeing and doing something over talking head videos so I thought this would be a neat way to document my first solo flight. Sounds like you’re going on a big trip! Where are u off too?
@@youtubebydoug i am going back to see family in UK for the first time in 20 years.. last time i went i travelled with hubby and baby.. so he did all the thinking.. i just followed hahaha
the video is actually really helpful and entertaining
im also having 2 connecting flights later this month and this video made me feel more confident about flying alone
keep up the good work man❤
Great video! You deserve a lot more of subs,. A tip for recording vlogs.When you talk after music, turn the music a little bit down and when you talk without background noise, put another some music instead of silence.
Hey thanks. This is an older video of mine so hopefully the newer videos have improved!?
First solo flight and flight with a layover is tomorrow. This helped a bunch
Me and my sis are flying from Tokyo Haneda to LAX via Asiana Airlines. So we have a connecting flight in Seoul Incheon Airport. We're kinda scared but before booking this flight I did some research about connecting flights. Some say that the minimum layover time should be at least 2 to 4 hours so that you wouldn't rush that much in case of a delay. So gladly I booked a 6 hour layover in Incheon 🤣.
Good call haha I was pretty nervous taking a connecting flight for the first time and probably should have gave myself more time but I think it get's easier after you do it a few times.
I see you experienced a Sea-Tac Satellite on your return trip. It's not a separate terminal as it's all 100% airside, only ticketed passengers through security can access the N and S satellites. I hope you enjoyed my home airport!
Heeyyy. The airport was nice and Seattle always a fun place to visit. Hopefully things go back to the good old days of 2019 soon! Stay stay over there.
@@youtubebydoug I hope so too, I had to cancel plans to visit Japan next month!
I was travelling back to Detroit from Manila. The first flight from Manila to Los Angeles got rerouted to Seoul which added 2 hours to the enroute. The agent said I definitely will make my connecting flight even though I had to go through customs in LA. I am a US Citizen. We land in LA 30 minutes before the connecting flight departs. Needless to say, we were way too late. So, the airline was trying to find us a flight that night, but they were all booked. we eventually got a flight the next morning. You are so correct about connecting flights
Thanks doug im gonna be very soon getting connecting flights on my journey to be together with my love of life seven oceans away to the states 🇺🇲 im so excited thanks for making it easier by helping us through connecting flight guide i loved it god bless you ❤
I have never done this before because of the possible problems involved. Hopefully after this video I might give it a go. I have always paid extra for a non stop flight but as you say it is a lot cheaper especially when you are on longhaul. A friend of mine was doing a transfer after arriving in JFK and then found that his connection was in new jersey. missed his flight.
thank you doug, i appreciate you. you a real one ☝️💯
My first flight ever is tomorrow 😭 I’m so nervous
How did it go?
Ahhh i will be traveling soon. 2nd time flying alone and 1st time with multiple stops.. and will be international 😬 thank you for making this
I’ll embark the same situation of international connecting flights (2) from Manila to Prague next year. I’m a bit anxious and excited of it! This vid is such a relief for me. Safe travels always man!
My first ever flight in January and im worried about the connecting flight in Amsterdam
@@killagamez4619I'm also connecting in Amsterdam, how was it for you?
@@KEDAMONO. Very easy to get around. If you are from an EU country getting a connecting flight you skip security. Also if you do security it is very quick you don’t take anything out your bags unlike other airports
@@KEDAMONO. All the signs are english too and they are everywhere. It’s impossible to get lost
What’s the name of the first song you played when you were strolling by the outskirts of Vancouver ???
Woww you park your car outside for days?not worry about theft or tow but the weather? And I found the Seattle airport different than other YT vid? Thanks for such a positive character 👍
Great video! Im flying in 6 Days with also a 45 min connecting flight from
SFO - IAH . I'de like to know which terminals are for Domestic flight within the US under United Express. I'm nervous lol this will be my first time.
Omg! I am also booking the same one for my upcoming trip in December! Can you update me how is it for you? Thank you!
Thank you
He didnt get towed!!!!!! Awesome video. ❤
hahaha yeah my biggest worry!
So after you landing, you just have to look for a gate?? That all ??
I'll be in a similar situation soon. Mtl to JFK for a connecting flight to Europe. I want to understand the preclearance system better. When you landed in the US, you didn't have to do Customs and secrurity again?
Nope. It seems all major Canadian Airports preclearance you before take off. ie you have to pass though customs in Montreal before takeoff. For me it was just after they checked my bags and went though the normal airport screening. It was waaayyy easier then driving across the boarder and nice knowing you don't have to clear customer at JFK which would be BUSY.
@@youtubebydoug Thanks!! So reassuring to know!
I’m traveling to Las Vegas this coming July. Need all the info I can gather. Will be departing from SG. Have to connecting flights. 2 hrs in Haneda Airport and 2 hrs in Los Angeles airport. Need to know must I collect my luggage in LA and recheck-in in LA airport? Is 2 hrs sufficient enough for both of my connecting flight?
I’m travelling to Thailand on my own tomorrow. Wish me luck aha
Nice how long are you going for? What are you planning on doing there?
Hmmm did reached Thailand
I'm appreciating your video
I am going to have a 1hr 55min layover in LAX going to EWR from an international flight (SIA). Im actually wondering whether i'll have enough time for my connection to terminal 6 with alaska airline since i just realize that we have to go through baggage claim and custom in LAX before the connecting flight 😑 as for the baggage will i have to bring it to terminal 6 to get it check in or is there a transfer desk to put the bags after the custom? I am using one itinerary ticket for my whole flight so i assume that the baggage already have a tag for the final destination? Will i still have to go through security too? If yes, how long will it take to go through the security? I am very nervous and hoping that i can make the connection. Any info will be appreciated. TIA
哈哈，非常棒的视频记录，不过我想知道联程航班的行李不需要重新托运吗？我现在要经过法国，行李可能需要重新托运，我非常担心这件事情，因为我没有经验
I’m travelling from the U.K., with a connecting flight at Chicago then to JFK Airport I am sooooooo nervous 😭
How did it go? haha was it as bad as you thought it might be?
@@Boo-YouDoYou I’m travelling at the end of next month ahah, I’m still nervous though
@@caitlinlunn7646 Shit, I was hoping for your wisdom haha!!!
I have a question did you have to claim your bags again at layover and recheck them or do you claim them only at the final destination??
@@Userunknown446 Hi, I didn’t travel last summer due to covid, this year I flew directly to JFK so no layover x
Super curious question. What happens with you’re checked in luggage, do you have to claim them in the baggage claim to recheck them in for you’re connecting flight or what happens?
I WONDER AS WELL......
@@gisselmartinez5599 i think you check at you final destination
i’m not too sure about international flights but for domestic, don’t worry about your checked bags on a connecting flight! they will just load it onto your next flight!
The consensus is if its the same airline they will take care of your baggage until your arrival in the final country, but for different airline you have to take care for yourself, to be sure, always ask at the first check in counter
If you’re flying internationally and connecting onward ie: flying into the USA from a different country, eg. Fly London to JFK and connecting on to Nashville. You will go through customs and immigration in JFK (or whichever is airport you go into first) and even if your bags are checked through to your final destination, you have to pick them up and bring them through customs, then drop them at a designated area to get them on your next flight. If you’re flying into a different country and connecting onwards, eg flying to London and then on to Paris, you check your bags to your final destination and only pick them up in Paris to go through French immigration and customs. Hope that makes sense! 😎
What did you use to book your flight? Was it directly through the airline or did you use a third party website? If so which third party would you recommend?
I usually just use google flights. Not sure if anyone else has another good 3rd party website?
@@youtubebydoug yeah so far google flights has been awesome. I read terrible things about kiwi.
I’m going from Manchester to New York with a stop in Iceland will I be able to take food from Manchester onto my second flight ? Also will I have to go through security and stuff again
Just booked my flight from Sacramento California to Haneda Airport Japan but have a connecting flight in LA and I’m hella nervous in the 2 hour layover in December.
a 2 hour layover should be plenty of time to get to your next flight!
Omg I’m going from sfo to haneda and mine is only 53 minutes, the problem is I have 3 kids and my bf with me 😩 I’m probably gonna end up calling the airlines
@@Rebeluxury did you guys make it??
When you had your connecting fight did you have to pick up your luggage and then go to the gate or go straight to your connecting flight?
No you don’t have to pick up your luggage they are in charge of transferring any bags you give them.. or that’s how it’s supposed to work anyways. So where are you off to?
RUclips By Doug I'll be going to Pakistan ♥️🌻
Smile :) that’s what I’ve been wondering too cause I’m flying alone from Arizona to Puerto Rico and have a stop during it and I’m sooo nervous
i’ve never flown before so just wanted to know, i got my email confirmation but how do i actually get the ticket? and i got free carry on so can that be a suitcase/duffle bag or just a back pack?
You won't be able to check in and get your ticket until it's close to departing. Usually 48 to 24 hours depending on the airline. They'll email you Or you can pick up your ticket at the airport when you check in but some airlines charge extra for this. Your free carry on size should say in the confirmation email you got. If it's over sized they will force you to check it in though.
back packs will always count as a carry on. Small suitcase usually work too but anything larger they will force you to check it in
Where are you flying from and to ??
How I know if the flight I want to join is connection or not if the airline Tell me isn't connection flight? I don't need to change airplane??
If I am flying from UK to Mexico but have a connecting flight in the US do I have to go through security and customs in the USA? Great video by the way!
some airports you’ll have to pass though security and officially enter the country to get to your connecting flight and other airports you won’t have to but you’ll be limited where you can go in the airport.
@@youtubebydoug thank youuu 🥰
you are the best
Good job
I’m travelling TIA to LON, stopping in Vienna and my layover is 35 mins please pray for me it’s in the same terminal but like most I will probs have to go to security again
cutting it close but I think you’ll make it 🙏
@@youtubebydoug hahah arrived tonight, we made it and the connecting flight was waiting for other passengers to come off the other flight and join so it went smoothly thankfully
@@katerinaberhami3770 did you have to go through security again?
@@paulaolivera6468 yes we did and there was a lot of us, thankfully the other flight was waiting for us they must have known there was other passengers on a incoming flight I was so happy because I’m telling you 100% if this was a transfer flight that you were getting in London there was no way in hell they would have waiting. Austrians have heart♥️
This will be me in Nov. Dublin - Zurich (40 minutes!!!) - Singapore. Same airline - so im HOPING I don't have to wait for my luggage or check in or anything. No info on what gates they are yet. I have arthritis in my ankles so walking fast isn't exactly in my skill set either. pray 4 me 🙏
Im also doing a connecting flight internationally 😅 kinda scared
Hi, I was hoping you had an idea about the flight timetable because I was really confused about my flight to Sydney and Brisbane. From manila I'll be departing from PHP time 23:25 am then the time of arrival is 10:56 am Philippine time. Then there would be a layover on my itinerary for 2 hrs because my flight from Sydney using virgin Australia to Brisbane is 13:00pm. Is the flight going to use Philippine time and not Sydney time? because if it uses 3 hours advanced in time for Sydney from Philippine time and if my arrival in Sydney is 10:56 am Philippine time it would probably be 13:56 pm Sydney time. How is it going to work because I don't want to miss my flight to Brisbane at 13:00 pm when I am still on the plane by that time if they use Sydney time.:(
From the mural it looks like you went to Seattle Washington
So the connecting flight will be on ticket? They list the plane company and then the number like C35? A bit confused I'm so sorry! I am flying to another state in March! From Ga to Nm....
No they'll give you two separate tickets. It'll have all the information you need on it to find your flight. If you get lost ask someone and they'll help you out. It looks confusing but it's not as scary as it seems. Have a good trip in New Mexico?
I have a question, if I book a flight from let’s say California to New York and there is a stop in let’s say Kansas, if I wanted to could I stay in Kansas for however long I was planning on staying in New York or would I have to go to New York ?
You can. Flights with layovers are usually cheaper since the airline can fit you into their schedule. An example would be a flight from la to Kansas and Kansas to New York is a lot less popular and unlikely to completely book up over a direct flight from la to New York.
You’re free to leave the airport and stay in Kansas for as long as you like but you have to remember you’ll have to check in again and pass though airport security again.
RUclips By Doug thank you !
It's a free country dude no one is going to hand cuff you and force you on the flight to New York. Just keep in mind if you're checking bags those bags are gonna end up in New York. Also if you booked a round trip ticket then you screwed yourself because your return flight will start in New York.
I travel in 3 days and I'm nervous af. I have to take a connecting flight. There's a 2 hour layover but I'm scared I'll go on the wrong flight or miss it
Hello i have a connecting flight via Germany frankfurt to Toronto and i just have a 1 hour layover at Germany so can you give me some tips so that i can catch my flight easily
Hi any more tips? I am flying alone first time with connected flight with an layover. I am going from Boise to Seattle and Seattle to Oregon and all the flights I did was with my grandparents was direct I never had connected flight with an layover plus it’s my first time with that and being alone? Tbh I’m freaking out. I never had to catch a connected flight. Anyone been to Seattle airport is it scary anyone get lost? Please tell me I’m not gonna be the first one that gets lost in Seattle airport.
I booked mine too because it’s the cheapest one and i’m so scared because the numbers are so different. i’m flying american airlines how am i gonna have to find that at my airport location if there’s a bunch of other planes?
Hey! Hopefully you got a good deal? Each connecting flight is considered their own flight so thats why you've gone so many flight numbers. Just kept track of your airline and bring a copy of your bookings so staff can sort you out. Get there a little early so you don't feel so rushed. That's what I did my first time flying solo.
i only have 1 hr. i hope no delayed from manila to SEOUL INCHEON INT. air canada please wait for us
Uh Oh you're relying on air canada 😬 Haha i'm sure you'll be fine!
Haven’t watched the whole vid yet but you’re definitely getting toed😂
Lol alright I won’t give away the ending :p
towed
Did you have to check out your luggage and check it in for the international flight? that is what i'm worried about. I have a 2 hour layover at lax terminal 6 from toronto, and i was told i have to recheck my luggage to terminal B
Hi! I did you check out your luggage? I have exactly the same senario im not sure if i have to go to custom again
I’m traveling to mexico this december and have a connecting flight 😭 thank GOD my layover is 3 hours
ohhh!!!
For example when someone wanna fly from Madrid to Paris , but the flight that he did booking it's a connecting flight so he should pass by Turkey , that mean the flight been like this :
Madrid --> Istanbul --> Paris.
And the flight is only one ticket . Or he should pay and take another ticket in Istanbul ?????
Second of all , the baggage will you take it in your hands while you are in Istanbul and you make it again for the weight check while they checking your passport or you will not see your baggage because they will take it automatically to the plane ???
Another important question : in any case you should show your passport in Istanbul and show them your ticket that you did take from Madrid and they give you new one or how it works ?????
I'm flying from Tallinn to Frankfurt (transfer), and then to Geneva, solo for the first time. I'm 13 and non UM btw 😳
Well i'm pretty sure the airlines well walk you everywhere you need to go! Let us know if anything happens or how it all goes!
@@youtubebydoug Haha I totally forgot about this comment but it all went well! I flew business class so I had 3 hours to spend in the lounge alone and it was awesome!
ik it is too late to ask but I am traveling connecting flights from egypt to canada alone and layover at Zurich do I have to go to customs and immigration at Zurich or no
And another question do I have to claim my bag and recheck in at the airport or they Will load it onto the plane ??
every airport different, you may have to go though customs in Zurich (never been) but a major of airports will keep you contain to a certain area so you don’t have to go three customs.
once you’ve checked your bag in, in theory you shouldn’t have to worry about it until you get to your final destination
Im anxious going back to the Philippines so I am a greencard holder ,Im in Kentucky now and my flight will be Kentucky to Atlanta, Atlanta to LA, then LA to Philippines. Im counfused about If I do have check in bags? Does the airline for exam DELTA will carry those check in bags until I reach my destination? And when will will I need to go to immigration? Like every airport I landed? Im really anxious. Thank you for answering tho💯
Don’t worry it’s my first time with a connected flight and a layover and I have flown by myself but that flight was direct I’m scared too.
Who pays for a new flight ticket if I can't reach my connecting flight in time because of delays?
So let’s say my bag is over weight and I pay the baggage fee at the first flight, if I have to recheck in my bags on the 2nd flight do I pay again or no?
if you’re checking them in they’ll take care of moving your bags from one plane to another and it might cost more, I think it depends on the airlines
I'm flying in October for first time I'm nervous as I'm flying from Gatwrick to Orlando as I'm flying from Guernsey pls help
Did this the last 24 hours traveling alone for the first time. And I’m telling y’all RUN for your life Don’t stop for ANYTHING just BOOK IT
That’s gonna be me running through DFW 🥴
International connecting flights are the WORST! Especially if your first flight leaves late, you have a huge chance of having your luggage delayed.
Hey Good day . Its my first time travelling from philippines to Edmonton Canada this february 2020 .. First was philippines to shanghai and then shanghai to Montreal and i have 1hr 30 mins to catch a flight from montreal to edmonton . can u give me a tip?. am i going to pass through immigtration?. will i exit first??? plss reply. thank you!
That's going to be a long day. Are they still flying out of shanghai? From my limited experience you shouldn't have to pass through immigration in shanghai but sometimes you have to depending on the design of the airport. Once you get into Canada though you will.
@@youtubebydoug i just rebooked my ticket.. dont want to go to china the canadian immigration might refuse me from entering canada because of the corona virus 😁😁 thank youu
@@FranzNaitsab Probably a good call. Sounded like a nightmare route to take anyways :P What are you doing in Edmonton?

I’m taking my first flight ever while by myself to move to flint michigan from richmond and I am so nervous
Just get there early and take your time. Why the move to flint michigan?
RUclips By Doug my fiancé moved an hour north of flint and I stayed behind to save up some money at my job and get some work experience. She would’ve had me fly to detroit but thats a 3 hour drive for her but flint is about an hour away
In about 20 days I have to go from Birmingham to Frankfurt to tokyo to get to Taipei, its the first time I'm travelling alone and also the most complicated flight I've been on 💀
Omg please update me!!! I’m going to France in February and my layover is in Frankfurt and I heard it’s a huge airport!! The problem is I only have 1 hour and 30 minutes to get on the next plane, do you think I have enough time?!
I have to catch a connection flight tomorrow in 50 minutes😓
Well I hope you made it? Enjoy your trip!
What's wrong with waiting 50 minutes
I think it's more about making the connecting flight. When I made this video and was so worried about my plane being delayed or i'd miss my connecting flight and be screwed.
Omar Ahmed I have only 30 minutes 😢
Hi I have 45min international connecting flight too. Coming from Hawaii, I will land in Guam for about 45m. My Guam to manila one is the 45min layover ! Would I have to go through immigration and customs, obtain my boarding ticket to Manila and find my gate in 45 min? did you have to obtain a boarding ticket?
I travel next week so also solo, Anxious as everr 😂
It depends on a lot of things.. if you’re flying with the same airline they should give you both your tickets for your flights when you first check in. If it’s two different airlines they won’t always give you your connecting flight ticket.
As for going though customs and immigration again it depends on the airport. Some airports you won’t have too.. you should be able to walk up to the front gate and just check in, some other airports, it could be in a different terminal or badly designed where you need to restart the entire process again and treat it like a completely new flight.
I’ve never been to either of those airports so let me know if you make it!
RUclips By Doug Thank you!! That makes so much sense Its united airlines the entire way to Manila! I will let you know how it goes!!
@@tamara6093 So how long are you going for? What's the plan in the Philippines?
Could someone answer this quick, I’m going to Florida in March, it starts in Sweden and I have to change flight in Frankfurt and then head to Florida, my question is do I need to get my baggage again in Frankfurt to check it in again? I’m too shy to ask and if I get too much pressure I can black out.
So could someone tell me so I know in advance, I haven’t done connecting flights in 13 years
It’s never a straight answer but if you booked it as a connection flight then you shouldn’t have to worry about your luggage but double check when you check your bags in.
How did it go? And did you have to claim your bag at Frankfurt or no ?
@@Userunknown446 the baggage went straight to the next plane so nothing to worry about, was my first flight where I had to change flights
@@robertpetersson7182 ok thank you
I have to take 2 stops just to get up to alberta, theres a 7 hour gap in between the first one, and the second one i think is and hour in between, itll be my first time flying.

I've done a few connection flights since I made this video (I think i've done 3 now) and once you do it the first time it gets easier. If you get lost just ask someone. What are you doing in Calgary anyways?

How did it go?
How did it go?
I made it…! I told the flight attendants about the layovers and they made sure to make me one of the first ones to leave the plane (in both flights) and I did it in 15 minutes for both. Best of luck to whoever has to do the same thing.
what about your luggage? x im travelling from belfast, to london, to houston and im scared i'll have to take extra time to check my baggage in again x.x
Should have parked at a parking lot, then taking a shuttle to the airport. 45 min to go thru customs is pretty tight.
Did you get 2 tickets for your connecting flight? 1 ticket for the first and the 2nd ticket for the 2nd flight?
yup they usually give you to tickets when you check into your first flight
Bro new sub
Do the guide of conn flight
I would but I probably won't be flying anytime soon... but next time i'll try and keep this in mind!
Well I feel better now, time for bed
How to understand which terminal the plane will come? I am so nervous about flying alone
every airport is a little different but just know your flight number and destination. search for it on the departing flights and it tells you exactly where to go. or whoever you’re flying with go to them when you arrive, check in and they will tell you where to go. where are you flying to anyways?

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is NOT THEIR luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. ruclips.net/video/q-gLsegazCs/видео.html
Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile...
ruclips.net/video/4NfX2W4DN7E/видео.html
These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon.
Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees.
Tie to the base of the handle, tie to the metal buckle. Thus, it will not slip along the handle.
Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers.
Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end.
If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape.
You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away.
Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case.
Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle.
Learn Half Windsor knot tying:
It is the 2nd example in this video
ruclips.net/video/X0yh5rKB9lE/видео.html
This knot does not loosen.
Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie.
Example: “Owner 454-333-7878”
No personal name necessary.
No address necessary on the ribbon.
Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color.
Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece.
Tie your backpack, skiies, duffel bag, carry-on, and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case bag.
If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself.
Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible.
Pleasant color combinations:
Red, white and blue
Chartreuse and purple and orange
Orange and light blue
Orange and yellow
Gray and pink
Green and yellow
Red and Green
Red and Gold
Light blue and light green and white
The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan
Tip #2 PICTURE RECORD
Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. Take a picture of the interior. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it.
You can show this picture to the searcher or attach a picture to your report for lost luggage.
Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights.
Tip #3 INSIDE IDENTITY
Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape...
To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape.
Tip #4 HIDDEN IDENTITY
Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show.
Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS
Use 4 ribbons
Add 1 designer ribbon
colored duct taped handle
Stencil SPRAY PAINT a 2” or smaller stencil letter or number or word or your initials to the suit case exterior surface in addition to using all the other ideas here. Stencil spray the BOTTOM OF THE CASE as well.
Stencil spray paint a letter to the TOP ribbon.
Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”.
Put a travel sticker on the case.
Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN
Scales accuracy varies at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a
HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE

Tip #7 GPS TRACKING DEVICE

Tip #9 FLIGHT SAFETY
Put laptops, cameras and jewelry in your CARRY-ON. ruclips.net/video/fQLIwVXa3oU/видео.html

What airline did you use?
I believe it was westjet and delta.. why?
@@youtubebydoug For one, I was just curious; for another, you brought up an interesting point regarding multiple airlines... I hear that if they have some "agreement" it makes the connection smoother, but how does that work?
Not sure how it works... when I booked I den't really care what airline I was flying with, I was just looking for the cheapest one. They usually try and put your connecting flight close together but when it's 2 different airlines they can't do anything about it. I was really running to making my connecting flight on the way back haha
It'll be my first time to travel ALONE tomorrow and it's connecting flight that's why I'm nervous
Well good luck! Where are you going?
My coworker said he done with more shorter time of layover which was only 35 mins, and he kept telling me I would be fine even just only have 90 or 120 minutes.😅
35 minutes is tight. Basically if anything goes wrong, you're screwed!
connecting flights are so annoying
I’m so nervous I’m 16 and my first time flying I have to switch planes 😢
Dude I'm 17 and my first time is also gonna be a connecting flight but it's gonna be in a month or two,, tell me how it goes :) wish u the best
If either of you have trouble ask for help. The airline employees will likely even walk you to your connecting flight.
Me too! 16 as well😩
my things damn where y’all get this money to travel at 16 😭
Jassiel Quintana it was to go see my family, my parents paid for it. I don’t have sh** lmao😭
So do you have to get your baggage each time? I'm so confused about this 😂
I am confused as well
if you’ve check your bag in, in theory you should have to worry about it until you get to your final destination
@@youtubebydoug I appreciate this response so much. Thank you 😂
I have a flight from Nepal to Delhi and after that Delhi to colombo and finally from Colombo to Sydney
Should I have to reclaim my luggage in Delhi airport?
I hate connected flights. :'( Lol.
I'm pretty sure everyone does but it's always the cheapest flights
I have only 30 minutes I’m so nervous 😩
Did u make it
Update ?v
Crystal Waters No, I changed my flight
@@nimcoabdi8822 same. Not worth taking a chance
I very impressed your video. But don’t use wheelchairs 👨🦼, it will give you bad luck.
I must of jinx 2020... Never heard of being in a wheelchair brings bad luck
going thru us customs before flying makes the video a bit of a no no really. It is not the same as doing a proper airport transfer where you have to sort out your luggage and go thru customs again
You shouldn’t be playing with something that people with disabilities need to use.
Nonsense video. I can't learn anything from here.
