What do you think about the Air New Zealand business premier product? I am flying them soon and would be interested to see what your take on them is.
Bro i have a request for you that plz make a preview video on swiss international and air new zealand airlines 🙏🙏
6:30 learned that the hard way. flew 13h45 from Atlanta to Doha on QR 777-300 and had to hold it bc the people next to me were very heavy sleepers xD
Lmao you are too funny! I almost died laughing! Dashlane must love you.❤️These are great tips, and another great video Dan! I’m looking forward to Friday already❤️✈️👍
All of the tips you offered were spot on! I’ve traveled a lot for many years not only as a passenger, but also as a Flight Attendant. The best tip was definitely respecting the airline employees. I have been upgraded several times at no charge for just being kind to the ground agents as a paying customer not as an employee during major airport issues or delays.
Your self-deprecation and humour is so refreshing in a world of self -obsessed "influencers" in any field of interest. Thank you for being different
Amen👩✈️🍀🇬🇧👨✈️✈️🇺🇸
Seriously, who else thinks flight attendants should be paid for every second they spend in uniform?
By the way, that's got to be one of the smoothest segways into an ad I've ever seen.
Somin Kim Thanks Somin and absolutely - especially during delays!
True, but techincally...
They could literally LIVE in those uniforms and become MILLIONAIRES!! If that was the case, I would consider it... :P
Nonstop Dan making unsecured networks sound like syphilis.
Somin Kim i think they should definitely be paid more, one of the flight attendants i watch only get paid when the airplane door is shut. So when boarding she isn’t being paid.
They should be paid from the first second they enter the airport till the end of their day's duty... every job is like that, I never understood why people of the sky are paid only for a part of the time they work for the company.
Sir you should make an episode just about lounges in airports for novice travlers. What membership you recomend etc... Thank you love this channel
Albert Latham I’ll try to make it happen Albert - thank you😃
Albert Latham - agree with you. Not many things worse than being at an airport for hours and having to tolerate noise, confusion, crowds, bad food/coffee and seating (if you find it in some airports). Please Dan, this is a great suggestion for those who are not highly frequent flyers but value a relaxing, calm start to a holiday and/or flight experience.
Just a note: free food may not be good food. Example: United Airlines lounges at Dulles (IAD) and Los Angeles (LAX) have horrible food, not even any bottled water! ( The LAX lounge had free M&Ms. LOL.) Also, even in United domestic 1st class on U.S. flights, the food can be horrible. So I try to buy something decent in the airport before flying United.
@@NonstopDan Also best PP lounges you've been to !
@@NonstopDan Could I enter a lounge if I just travelled on a economy ticket on say, QANTAS and I was signed up with their Qantasclub? I have like little to no points on it and I'm still on the basic tier of their memembership. It'd feel wrong as a simpleton peasant like me to enter a lounge if I didn't have the right credentials.
When I fly I always bring a spare change of clothes, as you never know what might happen to your luggage, a flight delay, etc. It's come in handy on many flights. I keep a small toiletry kit with small towel, toothbrush/toothpaste, lotion, hydration tablets, and a small liquid soap bottle.
Other mistakes:
1. Not dressing comfortably
2. Not loading up your own entertainment - Netflix and Prime downloads on tablet
3. Not having a printed boarding pass
4. Checking a bad unless you absolutely have to
5. Not checking seat guru
What is the problem with mobile boarding passes? I agree with all your other points
@@nicoth.412 I've had my phone run low on juice while in the security line
I have a portable charger that's charged up. I charge it up and my phone on the drive to the airport n at the airport
@@nicoth.412 I flew on ANA from LAX going to Tokyo and they have an app with a mobile boarding pass, but when I tried to board, they wanted a printed ticket... which luckily I had. No idea why even bother having an app that has a mobile boarding pass if they're not going to accept it.
@@joits That's one of my fears. Something comes up and you are boarding. There is nothing like the printed ticket for boarding.
Woop, speaking from a crew perspective! Thank you so much for raising this awareness
I'm a flight attendant. Thanks for saying this, seriously.
Akaneosu course you are
Have you ever forgotten to put lamb sauce on someone’s meal?
@@celestialknight2339 budget airline, so there were only prepacked meals :P
@@Mark50x Why would I have any reason to lie lol
bring a small container of moisturiser and a lip balm at a minimum, especially on flights 5hrs plus, this goes for everyone
Agreed, I make my own amenity kit for long-haul with hand lotion, lipbalm, hand sanitiser, contact lens fluid, and beard balm or oil (due to very dry air onboard which turns my 25 cm long beard into steel wool...)
Yes! I carried some hand cream, hand sanitizer and lip balm. Along with a travel size roll on perfume. What a difference!
Oman air amenity kit for Business class have all those and am really loving it..😍
As always, great video. The one thing you did not address was in your carry-on always remember your medication, and be sure you keep them in their original bottles with the prescription name and the doctor as well printed on the bottle. In some countries, this can save you all kinds on hassles.
Don't forget to pack noise cancelling headphones for when that 1 baby on the flight starts crying
Or when your seat mate won’t stop trying to talk to you.
It's the best tip. Transformed flying for me. Don't forget to pack adapters and the wire to connect to the airlines entertainment system
Preach to #1! I work at the Prague airport as a checkin agent and I deal with angry passengers on a daily basis, and let me tell you, it’s not the nicest feeling. So please before you start taking it out on us realize it’s not our fault, we are even more frustrated than you because we feel the pressure to work fast. Trust me when I tell you we try to get the plane to take off as soon as possible.
Thanks 😊😂
Exactly! I also work as a check in agent and some people seem to think that we do everything we can just to make their day worse or something.
I can't speak for every check in agent but when passengers a nice to me, especially when things don't go as planned, I am definitely more likely to go out of my way to help them with whatever problem they have!
I find that I always use a (school) backpack when travelling. Because unless there are breakables in there, they tend to squash to fit the space, and even a decent size fits as a personal item.
And from experience if you book a special meal make sure you have enough food for the flight (but commercially made) to cover you in case your meal request disappears in cyberspace.
I didn't know delayed crew weren't getting paid! The 1st tip about remaining courteous is great - you might actually make their day better. 💜
In most cases the crew is paid only for the hours the plane in flying, nothing more.
Just one more suggestion: if you are on any medication, bring it with you in your carry-on.
Alan Au omg yes. I have high blood pressure problem. It's mostly in control but just shot up once mid flight and I didn't have my meds in my carry-on bag. The whole flight was just was difficult. I was drinking water and talking walks all the time I could.
With people smuggling drugs and ruining everyone else's travel, I recommend that you keep your medication in it's original container with your name and all from the pharmacy. I've had to carry medication recently when traveling overseas and I kept my medication in the original containers.
@@Bioluv193, excellent point 👍 !
@Bioluv193 I think that is actually recommended. I think some airlines like you to provide a doctors note proving you are actually on the meds you have.
A few years ago I went to check in some overweight baggage in Dubai. The person behind the counter looked very ill and I enquired and offered to get a drink. It turned out she was unwell and she was so moved by my concern that she put my bag through without any extra charges. That was the high point of a very long journey home.
Channeling your inner Ellen DeGeneres is no longer considered a calm, happy, sweet demeanor 😹 it's funny how things will change over a year.
Great advice! Love your videos! ♥️
"Dessert Salad same same" is my spirit animal's favorite inspirational quote 😁
I usually bring my reusable water bottle to fill after security, and then really nicely ask flight attendants to refill it when they make drink rounds
Thats a good idea. I fill mine up from the water fountains in the airport. I'm a bit iffy about airplane water unless its from a bottle.
You don’t even necessarily need a membership or creditcard to get into a lounge. There’s an app called Loungebuddy which shows you the lounges you can get into for between $20-$50 in every airport. I never really have long layovers but I can imagine spending that $50 for a comfortable place to sit and food and drinks actually saves you money on, say, a 6-hour layover. A sandwich and a bottle of soda can easily set you back $15 in an airport, so if your layover is long enough it can easily save you some money and a lot of back aches!
Thanks for sharing so much btw Dan! I don’t fly all that often but when I do, accounts like yours make sure I’m just fully prepped and have nothing to worry about during my trip!
You made my day, this is AMAZING, I’m only 3 minutes in and my stomach already hurts from laughing!! 😂
It Is good to have dry napkins, wet napkins and antibacteial gel as well. I always carry these items with me onboard.
Wowza! You get there 15-30 minutes before your flight? Don’t do that in the USA. You they always overbook and use that window to reassign your seat to waitlisted passengers. Been there, done that! "I’m sorry sir, let me see when the next flight is..." But I have a reservation. "Had dear, had. You’re late, your seat was given to a passenger who was not late." 😡🤯🤬
"Had dear, had" HAHAHAHAHAHA
Thank you!! Not only are we not getting paid but our rest is affected... please understand we may not be able to share in your experience but we FEEL it. .... and upon finding out we aren't being paid, DO NOT say "Well you should get that changed.." that's like me telling you "Well you should buy your own plane.." not very helpful eh? If you're kind and don't throw your anger at us, we'll be even kinder to you.
Lounge access is very important
I have experience that food offered by some airlines are really bad or they don't offer food if you have a late late night flight
Sometime you count time to reach the airport and if you have to report 3 hrs prior to departure so you have to take an early dinner or no dinner so it's better to eat in lounge
Same goes when you are in transit
With priority pass u pay $27
Food offered on some lounge like in Dubai is fantastic
To add unlimited WiFi access
So most important is lounge access
Thanks for FYI on sequence number. Didn’t know that was on ticket!
Excellent as always, Dan. I completely agree, particularly with #1 and #5. I've had delayed or cancelled flights more often than I'd like, and being kind and courteous to the ground staff has generally helped my getting booked in a good hotel, rebooked on another flight, food vouchers, etc. Then, following on from that, having a change of clothes and a small travel toiletries kit (e.g., deodorant, shaving kit, toothbrush, etc.) makes everything easier if you are required to stay overnight. Keep up the good work!
Uh what about bringing a light jacket?? Some planes are really cold *cough* American*cough* and the thin blanket they provide is just not enough.
Nice garden Dan & the glorious ☀️😍
I nearly got an Asthma attack from the second 'And I oop'
Oh dear hope your ok love from the goose. Haha👩✈️🍀🇬🇧🇺🇸✈️👨✈️
Great Tips, When I fly I always try to check in online as soon as possible. My main carrier is with Southwest and it is imparitive that you book the minute you can check in. They're is of course Early Bird Check in which allows you to Check in most earlier than the usual passengers, however when you go to book your flight it costs extra to do this, so I do mine the day of and I"m usually between A1 to A5 every time. Thanks Dan! :)
“Terminally delightful,” LOL, I love it!
I’m ALWAYS super early to the airport. I’ve had too many times where I showed up and was opted out of TSApre (I have Global Entry) and the regular line was a mile long. I’m usually checking in 2 hours before departure time. Haven’t missed a flight yet due to my own error.
Another good one, Dan.
I once nearly showed up 24 hours before my flight. I am dyspraxic and can get confused and mix things up. I phoned up the person I was going to be staying with and said 'see you tomorrow' and was told my flight was in two days time.
The Wandering Wife thank you! I’m glad some of us are on time lol😉
Thanks for speaking for us
Respect
Cabin crew here!
Thanks for the heads up about the Priority Pass! I had never heard about it! 👍
Dont crowd the baggage belt when waiting for your bags!
Mistake 1. Airlines need to learn to communicate early and clearly and have a decision maker available to support the customers, when things go wrong.
Mistake 5. My cabin bag includes, shirt, trousers, undies, socks, book, noise canceling headphones, passport/travel doc folder.
I’m too paranoid to have cash anywhere but on me. Love you bro.
Totally didn't realise one of the biggest mistakes I've been making for years is not making you money for affiliated products 🤦🏻♂️
Hahaha!
Absolutely amazing. The jokes and the smooth advert loved it all. Thank you Dan
Excellent- you’re not only entertaining but also very informative! Thanks - keep them coming!
Warm welcome from island Barbados love blog's which is always spot on.
I loved the kitty cameo! :)
9:34 "because...drama" there's always that moment in your videos where I laugh hard alone !!!
I luuuurve this video!! Dan you’re tips are amazing!!!
Thank you for mistake no 1! Just spent 11h working yesterday with payment for 5h only... Great
wow I feel very sorry for you, that should be like illegal...
That is not fair!
Hello Nonstop Dan very good advice you’ve given on your video and have watched lots of your videos with great enjoyment thanks
Great tips! Thanks
Additional to the flight mistake. It’s not right to drinking a lot water. The right way is drink water frequently but just few sips every time. It actually would come out a large amount of water you drank at the end.
Thanks Dan for telling us about the sequence number. :-(
Lip balm, ear plugs, eye shades. Toothbrush - brushing your teeth is good way to signal to your body you’re going to go to sleep. Hairbrush, moisturiser for hands and face. If I’m flying business and there’s no complimentary PJs I bring my own. Changing clothes again helps to signal to the body it’s time to sleep when you’re out of your normal time zone and environment. Essential prescription meds if you have them. NEVER put them in the hold. Bring painkillers and if in economy sleeping tablets are a Godsend. I know lots of people say it’s bad in case of an emergency. So make your own choices. A book. Rarely do I have the luxury of reading for pleasure. A long flight is an ideal place to read that booker prize winner you’ve been promising to read all year.
I too am only just on time to the airport/gate/etc. but do check in online ASAP (as soon as my app tells me to do so, typically 24 hours in advance) and NOW after watching this video, I’m glad I do 😆
Thanks for another useful, and humorous video!
I remember when I entered the escape lounge at London Stansted for an early 7am flight. Staff member "what is the airport like sir ?" . My response "like a refugee camp, people sprawled everywhere, lying on the floor, chairs everywhere" . At which point she and the other person entering the lounge laughed their asses off. Ahhh lounge life!!
I'd say a good tip for airlines, lounge access is a cheap perk for irritated passengers who've missed a connection due to delay. We're tired of being in a crowded, brightly lit space for hours, many of us just want somewhere calm and quiet to rest for a few hours until the next flight. It'll probably soothe a lot of tension.
loved the video Dan!!
The reflection on the play button is giving me life
The best arguement for taking a light change of clothing in your carry-on is the Ron Howard experience. Howard is the well-known director and actor. Howard and family were on a flight to New Zealand; his infant did projectile vomiting on his shirt. He cleaned up ok in restroom as best as he could. But it was 12 hours more to NZ, and all his clean shirts were in luggage packed in the hold of the plane. That's why you have a t-shirt in carry-on. Unless you like smelling like vomit, and love the shunning from other passengers. 😘
Another video 😍😍 👏🏻we👏🏻stan👏🏻this👏🏻content👏🏻✈️✈️
Totally agree! Especially first mistake.
That was a very smooth ad I must say
keep doing you man, love the vids!
Maciej Ners thank you!🙏
Dessert & salad the same thing 😂👍
Keep travellin' & we'll keep on watchin' 💕
On delays and cancellations: What I do is take a seat in the boarding area and wait while all the crazies gather around the counter. Once they are gone, I walk up very calmly and tell the agent I am sorry they had to go through all of that. I give them my ticket and we have polite small talk while they figure out what to do with me. (Hint: if there is a kiosk open that sells chocolates or cookies I will use my waiting time to buy a box for the agent) Even without the gift, I have been upgraded every single time by simply being a breath of fresh air for the agent. Being polite goes a long way.
I was literally on Crete 3 days ago
OMG first I love your videos Dan and you say its hard to fly I completely love flying. And you to you are amazing 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I checked my old boarding passes for sequence numbers after you said about it and I’m usually a number above 30...so eager!!
One of the first :)
Cool tips thx for helping!
Dan makes a video. I gotta click. I stan this !
I’d appreciate if you would do a video about interacting with a gate agent when your connecting flight is suspiciously delayed, that is when it seems to be inconvenient to the airline (not enough passengers to make it profitable). I’m a pleasant, patient guy, but at times I’ve had to reluctantly pay hardball and make people do their jobs. I hate doing this. However, I will NOT be a doormat!!
I think it's important to know your rights and push for them if needed. If the gate agent or customer service rep refuses to do something that's in the T&C or even a legal requirement, you need to be polite but firm about it, remind them of the rules, but assume ignorance before malice, airline staff do forget things from time to time. If they still push back, well that's when you need to channel your inner Karen and ask for the manager.
Ohhhh the upload finally happened!!! Yay!!! One more thing to NOT put into your suitcase: MEDS! If your suitcase gets lost or delayed, you are really in trouble without your meds.
Tiger's Eye yes yes yes!
Always put your destination adress on label on case always put your home adress inside case as a lot get lost in transit. Always carry your medication in hand luggage👩✈️🇬🇧🍀👨✈️🇺🇸
Aaaaahhhh.... Daniel. Wonderful travel tips, and the honesty that you don't always conform to such. Did chuckle at your reference to the Expiration Date of "2024" for a desert. Should give many a moment of pause to consider what they are stuffing into their mouths. By the way, those sugary drinks which many consume so much of on a flight, and sugary snacks, only make you thirstier. Ever wonder why you seem thirsty after a Coke, and such? Its not by chance that this occurs. Hmmmmm..... how does one create the need for another Coke (or similar) drink????
Too much coffee or tea will tend to dehydrate you as well.
Bravo on your comment about flight attendants, ticket counter reps, etc. The more human we are with them, the better we treat them overall, the better for everyone. I've had the experience that comes with being understanding and kind to these folks. It not their fault that there are delays, and such. They're right in there with the rest of the PAX.
Cheers.....
I absolutely love your videos!! 😘
"Flying sucks some people will say....and I agree!
Proceeds to travel by plane 😂😂😂 no hate btw it's just a a joke
Very good advice
Remember, you're gonna want your chargers on a fight.
That's great advice
Thank you for so many great videos and tips! I started to travel frequently between the US and EU, and you have made my trips much easier and enjoyable. Please keep it going!!
Great content. Damn I'm guilty for most of the mistakes mentioned.
Thanks !
That Thumbnail is great...!🤜💐
11:03 is my favourite segment of this video. Great work!
Also for #5: Bring your medications in your carry-on! And: Pro tip for those who use a CPAP machine - you can bring your CPAP onboard with you and it doesn't count as a carry-on item since it is a medical device. Just remember to let the airline know when you make your reservation that you'll be bringing it, get a tag for it that says "medical device", and understand that unless you have a backup battery, you most likely will not be able to use it on the plane.
Thanks
In most cases, apart from an airline hub, the ground handling staff is not even from the airline, but from a ground handling cooperation such a Swissport. They mostly have very basic authority on the airplane/airline.
I love how there are so many sexual references like the 'protection', the food and drink with the eggplant and drops, him saying 'down there', and how he writes 'or you get dirty onboard for some reason'.
Here am I on the first day if an Italian holiday and I’m laughing at some of your channel. You should have been an actor great stuff indeed
buona Giornata
This might sound stupid but I discovered lounges about a month ago and before that, I just thought that it was some crew area.
NICE VIDEO BRO!!!!
Also I didnt realise you Segway'd into an ad until half way through the ad
Dan: Make sure you have lounge access
Covid: Haha, all lounges are closed
I am going to be taking a trip to Australia next year and already planning on bringing two extra outfits in my carry on luggage not just one and books and of course a few books in my backpack which I will get out once I get to the terminal, so that I am not the one having to get up and get something out of the overhead while in flight.
Thanks for dashlane bro
That truth be safely flight ✈️ always dear friend
just to add to things you should bring on your carry on... I would suggest a lotion, chapstick and a small travel size Vicks Vaporub~ invariably, in the middle of a long haul flight, if your nose gets itchy or stuffed.. while it may not get rid of it entirely, it does provide a lot of comfort and relief! Safe travels!
LOL love the Jasmin Masters!
Suggestion: don't entertain that talkative seat neighbor when you should be sleeping
A big like to your info ...
What a gorgeous garden, I was enjoying until you move inside your home. Thanks for the tips

Great tips Dan, common sense really; sadly lacking in many. ✌️😎💙 RgY.
Great edutaining video, Dan.
PS In the US, I make sure to arrive extra early. Ever since 9 11, you never know how long the security line may take. 2 hours? 1/2 hour? I'm just not a fan of Flight Russian Roulette.
