HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- For quite a few people, flying can be a stressful experience. Even folks who’ve been doing it for years will tell you that. Not only do you need to be a savvy passenger that organizes everything in advance, but you also need to be prepared for the unexpected. Some people even follow a strict schedule in order to be one step ahead.
However, this method isn’t always enough. There are certain things we tend to forget. For example, are you aware of the things you should never do before flying? For those of you who have no clue what this is about, here are some of the mistakes that you might not even know you’re making at the airport.

SUMMARY:
- If you lose your backpack at the airport, you have a good chance of finding it because it’s large. A smaller bag will be more difficult to spot, and if an opportunistic thief spots it, it’ll be easy for them to hide.
- With the online check-in options, you somehow guarantee your arrival at the airport for your flight. So, the sooner you do it, the better.
- You can always weigh your luggage at home, or you can restrict yourself from packing some necessities that are already available at the airport.
- Right before your long-awaited journey, make sure you check some websites that show you the secret. For example, which seats have more leg room.
- It’s better to invest in a good quality lock for security, or try a reusable cover that can keep your luggage nice and clean.
- Many people automatically go to the first check-points that tend to be overcrowded. The main reason is that the last checkpoints don’t have a queue, and passengers assume that they’re closed.
- Next time you travel, make sure you double check the amount of liquids you’re taking, and place them in a transparent pack to speed-up the process.
- When trying a new cuisine or new food, you don’t know how your stomach will react to it, and doing that right before a flight is a huge no-no.
- The best time for turbulence sensitive passengers to fly is during the winter, in the morning or late at night. And if you’re wondering why turbulence has the luxury to pick it’s time to shine, let’s get into some sciency stuff.
- The airport is one of the most infectious places you can be in. So, having some anti-bacterial wipes and sanitizer to protect yourself is literally life-saving.
- 93% of flyers experience jet lag. So, the best way to avoid this is by adjusting your watch, and maybe the time on your phone, to the time of your destination.

This is informative
Not pinned and I found this deep down in comments
Yes I bring wipes and hand sanitizer
Lol
For my whole life, I thought that there was a man speaking in the vid. But.. it was a lightbulb.
hahahahahaha yeah me too

Im ur 100th like lol

Fly as early in the morning as possible. The first flight out is less likely to be delayed because the plane it already at the airport, not flying in from somewhere else. And if you live in a crowded city, it's less stressful to drive to airport before the morning rush hour -- you can always sleep on the plane.
Exactly and in Europe never pick an evening EasyJet flight
I'm an ealry bird person therefore I love to fly early in the morning. Not just that I want to view the scenery as well. I try to avoid flying at night if I can't a afford the ticket.
Always carry a pen in your carry-on luggage. There will be paperwork to be filled on arrival and not having a pen available will cause you delays to leave the airport.
True. I usually have at least 2. Just in case one is not working
Just always carry a pen. Always. Even if you're not flying, a pen always is useful, is never a burden, and losing it means virtually nothing (if it's a cheap ballpoint pen). There's pretty much no reason to not carry a pen everywhere you go!
My father carries a pen 24/7 (not just airports) so there won't a be problem
Put your passport in your suitcase!? You have to be a rookie traveler to do that
Seriously, the ONLY time I did that was when hotel hopping in Europe, I didn't need my passport until I flew back to the States, and even then at my last hotel I went through my suitcase to grab my passport, literally the most important document you have out of the country
James Lade literally you wouldn’t even have to be a rookie you’d just have to have no common sense
so true!
@@DominicMV p
NOODLES because it’s a word to use I-
Give yourself enough time to catch a flight and be nice to the airport staff
There is no better feeling than seeing everyone in the checkin line and you checked in online and have only a carry on lol
🤣🤣🤣
I have not flown for a long time, but I've heard this tip in several videos now: When you get to the airport, if you need to get in line to check in, go to the lines to the LEFT. Since most people are right handed, their tendency is to go to the right. Anecdotal evidence has shown that lines to the left are generally shorter.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m left handed and I tend to turn right instead of left
@@AlejandroTennessen-xt5tv well, I did say anecdotal evidence. It's not a perfect theory. 🙂
Passengers should consider bringing gum to a flight. When your on a plane your ears might feel blocked, so chewing gum will help in unblocking them
TacoHermanos this doesn’t help for me, so I listen to music using my headphones 🎧
we aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll know that
yawning clears my ears right up..... but maybe thats just me
Where would throw it after your done
Doesn’t work when you’re flying to or from Singapore because gum is illegal there without a prescription!
Wearing shoes that are easy to take on and off before going through security...this will speed up that process for you and ones after you as well!
You do not have to take off shoes at all airports. I generally wear flip flops or shoes with no socks. I have socks in my hand just in case I have to take my shoes off and plop them off
If your over 12
Slip-on shoes 👌🏻
Make a checklist of things you need to bring when packing.
Man, that dude at the airport loves plain loaves of bread.
Lol yeah dude
Remember that some times when buying a carry on bag the detentions that the company gives does not include the wheels. You need to keep in mind the wheels do count for the over all size of the bag.
Helpful
@@hepi_hepi Oh, you mean the dimensions.
Pray for your flight every time. Your Aircraft, Crew,other passengers air space,take off landing airport. A total commitance...believe trust safe flight.
Ur more likely to get hit by lightning then be in a plane crash.
Doing this in lockdown to pretend that I'm on a flight😂. Who's with me?
Meeee, I'm only watching this cause me and my bestie decided to travel in 5 years 😂😅
🙋
me
Not me i am watching because I am flying on the 17th of July 2021. Just listening to warm should do.
@@pavani1515 same! I’m flying on July 17th too!
Don’t forget your passport at home 🤣😂🤣
On vacations and international flights I like to wear a neck wallet. It holds my documents and I've never lost one. Plus you can wear it under a shirt. Alternatively, I sometimes wear a fishing, travel, photo vest with pockets. A vest with pockets can easily be worn under a coat or wind breaker.
Another airport tips thanks so much. Love you BRIGHT SIDE
Loved the animations and definitely the narrator's voice! So soothing! ❤
The plastic wrapping over luggages is not to protect the suitcase but to stop anyone adding unwanted and illegal items such as drugs.
Your passport is shown at the counter so it would not be in your suitcase.
If you wrap it at home (majority of people do this) you could forget to take your passport out. Like they said invest in a lock.
@@jessicaely2521 from my experience the plastic wrapping is done at the airport by a machine, not at home and I have extensively travelled to be weary of luggage being interfere with in Oz and Asia not to trust any and Chapelle is a case in mind as a reminder it might happen! Remember not so long ago in Oz traffic being done by airline ground workers???
Hello from Seattle! I LOOOOOVE YOUR VÍDEOS! Thank you so much!
Chew mint gum on the plane, it will help unblock your ears through the chewing and the mint flavour will help settle your stomach during turbulences.
Just got back from a trip and wanted to share that many places in the airport do NOT take cash anymore. Make sure you have a valid debit/credit card to pay for things like luggage, food, etc.
Thank you for your vids always helpful
I have a couple important tips. These almost everyone know them already, but not a few people keep doing it!!!
1- Do not leave your luggage or personal objects unattended at the terminal!!!! that will trigger the terrorist alert, and the security protocol.
2- In the security point, do not feel funny and joke saying things like "bomb" or anything related, even though it´s a joke, it will activate the security protocol, and you will be arrested for investigation!!!
3-Do not forget to declare your money if it exceed ten thousand dollars, or its equivalent in other currency.
4- Do not act suspiciuos when the dog comes by you. XD lol
Of course this rules can be different depending on the country you are in, but those are international regulations.
What do you think?
"...a couple important tips."
And then lists down 4. Haha
🤣😂😂🤣, you’re right
I was at the airport, And there was a sniffer dog. I saw it and said "OMG ITS SO CUTE CAN I PAT IT?" And they took me for questioning...
@@jayvxr7704 The dog isn't there for you to pet it. You might want to harm the dog. So it's good that they didn't trust your need to pet their sniffer dog.
@@hermajestysmagicalqueendom7699 I know that. I was 12. and i'm an aviation enthusiast.
My Airport Tips:
1. Arrive in the airport early as possible like 2 hours before the flight, in case security holds you off for a long time.
2. Never joke about terrorist attacks or bombs. Security and airport police won't take it as a joke, and you will get arrested.
3. Don't accept any luggage from strangers. Usually, luggage that you took from the strangers contain drugs or illegal substances, putting you in the big trouble.
4. Usually, I prefer using check-in kiosks at the airport to save time.
5. Leaving luggage unattended can trigger a terrorist alert. In addition, your luggage won't be there when you come back since it's been stolen.
6. Try to be in front of the gate 1 hour before the flight, so you can board without having a problem.
Very cool video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
Good to know about the turbulence will keep that in mind!
You're welcome!
Mmmm, nice advice about the timing, but you don't often have much choise. Airline or travel agent decides for you: cost/convenience comes before turbulence avoidance. And it's not like you frequently have 5 ot 6 flights a day to your destination, so you would pick the one suiting you.
i once had a flight in the early morning so i drove to the airport pretty early just to realize that it was still closed. With me was a young lady with a baby and it was minus ten degrees outside. It took me half an hour to convince the security guy to let her in. I had to wait one more hour but now with a constant flow of hot coffee from a lovely flight attendant who watched the scene.
That's the problem, airport items are very expensive, compared to normal items from a local store
This is absolutely right
Never wear a new pair of shoes. As your feet tend to swell after long hours of sitting your new shoes are going to pinch you as they are still not broken in.
With online check in you don’t get to get boarding passes which I got a collection of and if u are a frequent flyer and silver or above u get complimentary baggage allowances
Thank you after watching your video I always queue at the last lane and I always go out quickly.....
I recently made two mistakes while flying
1) I put my 2 passports in the travel bag...and $1,000 cash...then forgot to take it from airline counter. At security I discovered I was missing them. I ran back and fortunately they were still there at the same place I left them. Don't put cash and passports in the same place.
2) There was a Wendys restaurant...with free refills..I refilled 3 times and it was a super sized cup. During the flight I had to go 4 times to the bathroom...and since I had a middle seat I had to inconvenience the passenger who sat in the aisle seat...would not have been easier if I had aisle seat...so don't drink plenty of liquids if you have window or middle seat.
Carry your documents and cash in a neck pouch under your shirt.
Wear a money belt either around your waist under your pants or around your neck & tuck in under shirt.
Thank Q. It is very useful.
I like the little lightbulb. Cutest. :)
Credit card, boarding pass, ID, some cash all go into a pouch inside my shirt. Also, preventive peeing a short while before boarding. To go carry-on, wear the bulkiest clothes and shoes for more room in the bag. Leave toiletries at home. Pack meds in little bags, not their bottles. You can print out or take a phone pic of your Rx in case you are questionoed.
Love the info
Always carry socks. It's more comfortable to remove the shoes and sleep with a clean pair of woolen socks on. It also helps in blood circulation.
Another tip at #3
If you have multiple boxes, suitcases whatever you’re using... Don’t fill them up completely!! If you have some spare room in other luggage you can put the overweight items in there and you don’t have to pay for anything.
MAKE SURE, that those bags are at least 5 kg away from the total weight, so you can put the “rest” from the items in your baggage.
Tried it once and it changed my life trust me!! I fly about 8 times a year so it saves up quite some money!
Here are some tips from me -
1.Put a lock on your suitcase. This may seem obvious to some people, but not everyone does it.
2. Put a sticker or label on your suitcase, especially if it’s a common color/pattern. This way, when collecting your luggage at your destination, you will know which suitcase is yours!
3. Especially if you’re going on a long flight and going to sleep, always keep your seatbelt on when in your seat. It’s already hard enough to fall asleep on the plane, so if you take your seatbelt off and fall manage to fall asleep, but then get woken up by the flight attendant telling you to put a seatbelt on, it’s gonna be annoying.
4. Have one responsible person in your group keep all the passports and tickets. It’s just easier, Trust me
I hope these tips helped at least someone!
even if you put a lock on your check-in luggage, it's very, very easy for baggage handlers to take a pen and unzip your luggage and rezip it. better to get it cellophane wrapped after security ck and b4 going to check-in counter.

TSA in the US don't allow locks. I've had them cut off & bag checked several times. They leave a note telling you they examined it.. They also toss it like a salad leaving a mess.
"Dont follow the crowd to get a quicker security check in"......ends up on wrong flight....next time, follow the crowd!
Listen to BRIGHT SIDE!
That’s not how that works... after Security, you’ll see the signs that’ll indicate which gate you have to go to
@@mariolopez9120 I think you heard what I said.
😂😂😂
I just got this information and I'm flying for the first time today from Tanzania to Philippins
Great timing then!
Warning! The Philippines is poor!
Happy flying to you!
Hppy i landed safly bt once we took off i wantd to get down coz the plane was shakng and it was like a car in the mad
@@IloveRumania So what? If filipinos are poor.. Atleast they have a good Heart. And Not all Filipinos are Poor...
This was great info
Bring Noise Canceling Headphones unless you love hearing children cry and the roar of the engine.
for transoceanic flights, like LAX to SYD, alternate 4 hours of sleep with 4 hours of wake time.
As an aviation geek I just love the whole experience of being at an airport. It’s the whole experience, what I always do is buy a check in bag and board last that way I don’t have to worry about overhead luggage. I understand you can’t probably do this easily if flying for business and very frequently but I would rather be early and relax than be stuck in a security line or for some delay to happen on the way to the airport.
I love that when flying within Canada you basically high5 security and keep on going.
Informative 😊
great idea
Yeah I'm traveling to Saudi Arabia in 5 days so wish me luck!
If u want to
Wow great tips 😍❤️
#5 it's good to wrap in plastic if for example you have a box... But do it yourself before the flight to ensure it's biodegradable. We used this trick when moving between countries.... Also great for business when you're not taking brochures back etc.
I love the bubbles light bulb above 🤩😍
If you're in an aisle seat, locate the little catch to lift the aisle side arm rest, it makes it so much easier to get up from the seat.
Travelling soon, i listed all the essentials, but makes me anxious the new normal which is way more complicated and expensive travel.
Remember lo leave a note with special instructions to follow back home, with a love one or family member (just in case )
super useful
If making a flight connection, check the arrival airport map ahead of time to estimate how far you need to walk to make the connection. A simple delay may shorten the you have.
Most of the times, turbulance is caused by other planes as well. They create a small vortex at the wing tip. It will grow bigger and bigger. Thats why winglets are made. Plus, its usually caused by the difference between the air below and above the wing
Now every one will see this video and everyone will go to the 6th counter and the 1st counter will be empty🤣
Hello Brightside, I am big fan of your content.. can you share the tool name, which you use to make these wonderful videos..
I would like to know that too! Keynote on the max can achieve some similar effects. On Windows the latest version of PowerPoint has some decent animation tools.
Just in time for my flight to New York!
on southwest airlines you must check in online better boarding position and seat earlier you check in aka 24 hours
Tytyty good video love it
Tying or hanging a coat or jacket (if you're not gonna wear it) to your carry on is going to help save up some if not a bit of space inside the bag and saves time when you need to use it during the flight. It may be a no brainer but a lot of first time flyers usually miss this tip.
amazing video
For the duty free one, you can always just pay attention to the clock, board and announcement systems. For me, I happen to be blind (I can only see light, acolour and large objects), so I'm always listening out for things, so I'm usually the first one to know if it's time! When you're on a long hall flight, particularly 10+ hours, you need to relax, get iood and buy some things for the flight or even your trip. This is also true for if you're seeing family and want to get them a last minute gift. Oki that's enough of my rambling
Connecting flights: Always bring an empty bottle with you and fill it up in the first flight with water, if your transit terminal does not offer free water refills. Water can cost 5-10 USD on some airport! Consume before you pass the transfer security check. (You will need to pass 1.5 hours before your next flight departure)
Check-in: Check in online. After that, just use the baggage drop. DO NOT arrive at the checkin counter prior to opening it! (Usually 4 hours before the scheduled flight departure) Arrive around 1 hour before the check-in closes. (About 2 hours before flight departure) - This way most of the nervous (and unexperienced) passengers will be gone, and the check-in and baggage drop will be almost empty. Avoid going too late, as many people are lining up just before the check-in counter closes.
If the check-in counter is about to close in 10-15 minutes, and the line is too long, you can go to the business checkin and ask them for an exception. They will grant it to you as they want to avoid you missing your flight. But Please do not abuse this exception, this is for real "emergencies" only.
If you have a passport when asked for ID, when flying either International or Domestic, use it. Most people have their home address on there license/ID card. If the airport worker has friends who are thieves, they could call them and have them check out your place and rob it, as they know you aren't home. Another reason is that they could stalk you. Your passport is a legal Government ID, and it doesn't have your address on it. ... If you know that you will want water, take an empty waster bottle with you, as you can take it through security. Once on the other side, in many airports at the water fountains you can refill it. You really want to do this with the super discount airlines, as they will charge you for water on the fight. ...
I got question because of Empty water Bottles I never heard of it. If you refill it and can I take it inside the Airplane to the next airport or i need to finish it and refill it again in the next one?
@@justpaula3999 You don't need to finish it on the flight, so if you are connecting on another flight you can take it with you as long as you aren't going through security again. If you need to go through security again, just empty the bottle and refill it after you go through security again.
St_Clinton passport has home address on it.
p Canadian passports do not.
@@justcurious3914 nope
Just wondering, after the security check (walking through the x-ray) a staff at the airport asked me if he could look at my passport. So I gave it then I saw him write my name on a notebook he has with him with the list of other names. So I asked my colleagues (we were headed abroad for a company tour) if the staff also did the same thing to them. They said no, which left me confused as to why am I the only one who was approached out of all the 33 people we have in our group. Was it just a random check? what was it for? Or is it just their protocol?
By the way, I wasn't the first nor the last person in our group who went through the machine.
Thanks bright side
It was really useful hehe
What about to drink plenty of water and fruit juices 3 days before a long haul flight. This I've heard is good for jet lag, and they give out small quantities of water for passengers.
My family used to live in the Middle East. To minimize jetlag, I preferred traveling from the US to Frankfort, Germany. I would always take the red-eye (flying at night). Basically, my flight left from Cincinnati at about 8:30 PM and land in Frankfort about 10:00 AM. I would then use the Airport hotels showers and take a shower and change my clothes. (Always put 1 or 2 outfits in a carry on bag in case your checked bag became lost. I usually had a layover between 4 & 6 hours. So I would then go get a coffee and a lite breakfast.
Cheers!!!
1:55 "you get to pick the seat you want" some airlines allow you to do that while booking the flight such as alaska
Considering how to get to the airport in good time before flight is always my way of planning the travel.
Another tip: Don't fly hungry and dehydrated, to Florida, or anywhere else for that matter, unless you want to risk your bloodsugar dropping to zilch, losing consciousness and stopping breathing when the plane depressurizes as it begins descending and then with difficulty wake up to a beautiful doctor from India pounding on your chest telling you to come back and stay with her, followed by a whole lot of medically oriented privileges. Which, by the way, is common enough the paramedics there called it "Plane-itis" and said they see it every day. Ask me how I know. Wish I could thank that doctor. Maybe she will see this, you never know.
Please tell us how you know 😹😹 I’ve experienced the exact same thing
I have seen I am that doc thank you for passing the knowledge..I am waiting for my next patient at the moment
ibraa999 him r/what a weird thing to lie about
Try to avoid booking an airplane’s landing gear as your seat of choice. The stewards often forget you.
Trust me, you'd be glad you or your parents did online check in. Especially during Christmas time
Please can you show me how online check in is done ? I have a fight on Wednesday hopefully
I’ve never been stressed y s plane ride even my first one my parents said I was good with and that was a twelve hour flight so first time flyers calm down it’s not that bad
#1 - Wear shoes through security without laces, buckles or zippers.
#2 In your purse or carryon, our your liquids bag, electronics and boarding pass in the same place for quick access.
#3 Before you leave home, clean out your purse and/or carryon for those thing that will get you in trouble from your last trip - like liquids, prescriptions or sharp pointy things.
Take out an item or two from the checked bag and put it in your carry-on 😉
Here tip when are going though security at the airport make sure you wearing slip on shoes because some airports have you removed your shoes and slip on shoes or a lease non-lace up will make it easy for you to slip them on and off.
Martina Webster some airport if you’re wearing open toes sandals, they don’t need to be put in the bin.,
Ohhh, Love this topic! I was exchange student in America last spring this year and that's my first and my long flight I've experience in my life. I'm from Philippines and I can recommend that you should drink a lot of water and prepare sandwich, so you can eat it in the plane. because most of the times, the foods in the Plane taste so bad. Next year, I'm coming back in America and I'm so excited.
Drink a lot water so you can alot okay lol. You're not allowed to bring food nor drinks entering check point. Only if you purchase in within terminal which is after the check point.
Nice video
I always look at the seat plan
I’m on point when I travel the once a year that I do !!! I just forget my tissues & gum !!! Lol
i always make sure to put my maintenance medicines especially my asthma inhaler on my hand carry bags. 🥰
Take boiled sweets on a flight to stop you getting earache and a big scarf to use as a pillow or blanket
I 💕 UR VIDS
His voice is so soothing
I always checkin on line
Diffinitely will consider those.
When flying on a long haul (economy) (& just in case it's not available on board), bring light weight slippers like those given in hotels. This way your feet can relax and wiggle and avoid DVT, & for hygienic purposes esp going & inside the lavatory.
Breakdown the grammar please
nice!
Try to avoid situations where you may end up with your very own episode of “Locked Up Abroad”.
