Always Fly with a Tennis Ball in Your Carry-On

- Whether you’re getting around by car, train, or plane, traveling can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, even if you love it. Your flight can get delayed by a lot. Sitting in close quarters for a long flight can slow blood circulation and cause the muscles to cramp. Your ears can pop during take-off and landing. So pay attention to some tips that will make your next trip a breeze!
For example, make sure you have an empty water bottle in your carry-on. That way, you can get past security with no problem and then just fill the bottle up at the airport. Most have drinking fountains, so you’ll save some cash!

SUMMARY:
- If you take 1 or 2 tennis balls with you on the plane, you can use them as little massagers to relieve and prevent that pain. Roll it along your ankles, calves, legs, wrists, back, and shoulders.
- Chewing on some gum actually keeps your ears from popping during take-off and landing.
- A trash bag or two will be a lifesaver when you come out of the airport at your destination only to be met by…rain!
- The dryer sheets will keep your garments smelling fresh and clean like they’ve come straight from the laundry.
- If your luggage is marked as “Fragile,” it should be handled more carefully by baggage personnel. Plus, it’ll likely be put on top of the other bags.
- Grab a binder clip and clamp it onto the blades of your razor when you pack. This will save you from any accidental-and painful-injuries.
- You don’t need to go out and buy expensive and flashy luggage. Use a plain basic suitcase and tie a bright ribbon around one of the handles.
- When you’re packing, wrap your shoes up in shower caps. This will prevent the bottoms from dirtying the rest of your clothes.
- Whether you’re flying or driving, keep all your chargers and power cords in a good-sized sunglasses case.
- You know those pill containers with little boxes for each day of the week? They’re also a great way to store and organize your jewelry when you’re traveling.
- Keep your shirt collars nice and crisp by lining them with a belt.
- Most airlines provide a pillow and blanket so that passengers can get a nap in during the flight. Take that little pillow and put it behind your lower back.
- If you’re going to be switching time zones, start making changes to your sleep pattern the day before you leave.
- The air inside airplane cabins tends to be very dry. Drink plenty of water, or another drink that contains electrolytes, to prevent dehydration.

Hey guys! What's the best country you've ever been to? ✈️
BRIGHT SIDE norway
Totally London 😄😄😄
Sweden
Vietnam!!
BRIGHT SIDE , Cuba
I like having early or late night flights because i get to see the sunrise/sunset over the world ☺️😌
That’s a wonderful idea
Thanks
Same here
And you can see all the pretty lights
The nights colder the skys cold plus the night it = you are coldddddd
I’ll save you 9 minutes: to relieve and massage your sore muscles from sitting.
No all heroes wear capes.
You saved my precious 9 minutes. Thanks.
Hero of Kush How do you know he’s not wearing a cape
Lol thank you
I can confirm I have a cape on my person at all times.
As a former baggage handler, I can assure you that there isn’t a sticker in existence that is going to save your checked baggage from rough handling. My advice? Buy hard-sided, high-quality suitcases. If you must have wheels, make sure they’re integrated into the bag and not riveted to it. You’ll thank me when you still have wheels when you need them.
Ok! Thats great if you put a laptop in checked baggage. Btw,are you supposed to put gadgets in checked luggage? Or is it better to put it in carry on?
Thanks bright side 😃😃😃😃
@@iris-needs-more-history-books It's better to put electronic items in carry on.
Use your clothes to pad fragile items, and put them in the CENTER of your suitcase for maximum cushioning.
If you’re taking any liquids with you, put it in a Ziploc bag, and then put that bag inside another Ziploc bag. Yup, double bag it, or you may be doing laundry as soon as you get to your destination.
By the way, in case you haven’t been on a plane since 2001, almost NO full water bottles allowed through security
AND Each passenger may carry liquids, gels and aerosols in travel-size containers that are 3.4 ounces or100 milliliters. Each passenger is limited to one quart (1 liter) size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols. Remember to make it a Ziploc bag!
Agreed.
I bring a beach ball and inflate it to put on my little table to lean forward to sleep on. It works really well!
That sounds like a brilliant idea.
@@jen9774 Yes!
It's not the saliva produced from chewing gum that causes your ears to pop, it's the motion of your jaw. The motion causes your eustachian tubes (tubes running between your middle ears and nasal cavity/upper throat) to open, allowing for an equalization of pressure. If jaw motion does not clear your ears (equalize the pressure) when taking off or landing, you can try the Valsalva maneuver. Close your mouth, plug your nose, and try to forcefully exhale. This works well when flying with a slight cold. Don't fly with a heavy cold, not only will you make everyone around you sick, you stand a decent chance of blowing out your eardrums or a sinus cavity. I've done both, and they are pretty much not fun.
Or push the small flap on the front of your ear in, to cover the ear canal. Apply pressure and release. This can help pop your own ears.
Also forceful swallowing, like gulping down saliva caused from the chewing gum, or even a beverage, can help to re-normalize the pressure between your sinuses,ears and mouth.
Can confirm-flying with a bad cold is not fun. That said, I had no other choice, otherwise I would have been stuck in China without the rest of my group until I could fly home. 0/10 do not recommend.
When my kids were little I’d give them a bottle during take off and landing to keep the ears open.
Taking decongestant med before the flight really helped when I had a cold.
I put a BIG bright RED fluffy type ball made of light yarn on my luggage. (its a DIY trick) I also pack many things in zip lock baggies to keep them from leaking or exploding onto other items. Then I pack extra baggies (in case that happens) Also take a gallon size baggie or small trash bag for wet bathing suits that may not have had time to dry.
I roll our bathing suits in a ShamWow, then in a plastic bag.
The pillow case idea and trash bag one are brilliant.
I once walked to the front of the airplane to use the bathroom and looking back I saw row after row of open O shaped mouths as everyone slept. The stewardess and I made eye contact and silently laughed, it was hilarious. So I take a wide brimmed hat with me to cover my head so I don't look like part of a vast wac-a-mole game.
The tennis ball is in case you happen to land somewhere and there’s a dog outside, waiting to play fetch
That's what I thought when I clicked on this video
No take only throw.
😂😂:-):-)
Yas! Haha
Lol
Yawning clears your popped ears much more effectively than swallowing. The action you're trying to produce is an opening of two small channels that go between your ear and your mouth. If you practice it, you can open them at will.
Yea, you can do it without moving your jaw. But it's less effective than blowing while keeping your nose closed.
My parents tell me to swallow my saliva
Going to the airport these days will make everyone want to put a belt around their necks. It starts with the security checkpoints and long lines and then missing a connecting flight due to delays with the first flight. Now you end up sleeping at the airport. By sleep I mean a few hours and then you are told to move for the cleaning crew. The worst part is that you paid for this experience.
Sounds like what happened to me in Toronto. Lol
The one thing that might defeat the purpose of bringing a tennis ball to massage yourself on the flight is that security guards might want to double x-ray or cut it open to see if you were smuggling drugs
Good lock passing that razor thru Customs ...🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wont matter in checked luggage. You don't have access to it.
@@dyinhope6840 it was in his carry on
These are really great travel tips! Thanks for posting!
Another point about packing clothes: use one of those garbage bags to hold your dirty clothes until you can wash them. This keeps them separate from clean clothes as you travel from point to point. Also, if space in your bags is very limited, fold your dirty clothes and place them into those garbage bags very carefully. Folded clothes take up less space.
Zip lock bags are very useful. I always pack liquids in 'em, and extras for emergencies. Ice packs, water bags, anything to do with liquids. And they make good storage for soiled items.
@@kwillow12 I do the same thing.
As someone who used to work in the airline industry
The fragile one is bs
They have 5-10 minutes to load an airplane
They’re going to throw it either way.
Mark, I came here to make a similar comment...I lived over seas for years (back and forth between Greece and Canada, 2 years of that was every 6 weeks 😫)and have otherwise traveled extensively, so I can attest to that first hand... One trip, I actually spoke to a person directly when checking my bags and stated one of my pieces of luggage had a fragile piece in it, she told me to mark the bag and it would be good...well, I swear that having a fragile label on it made them toss it around even harder...the 2 other bags were great and the “fragile” one looked like it was attached TO the plane and wasn’t IN the plane 🤦♀️😂.... Not to mention, if everybody followed that advise, there would be too many fragile bags and it would end up on the bottom anyhow!!! hahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂
SAME AS MAIL FOR THE POST OFFICE
Marking luggage or a parcel as fragile will mean 'play football with it' to the luggage handlers.
I've worked in the airline industry too. That is ancient advice. I stopped marking my luggage wih " Fragile" signs eons ago. What I heard was that the ones with the "Fragile" signs get thrown harder.
Just like the post office!!they trow Mothers Day flowers around!!
Thank you for these instructive and entertaining video !
A couple of things we do is bring plenty of antibacterial wipes for wiping down tray tables and armrests in our seats. We often get odd looks but I don't care. Those areas are disgusting and never cleaned by the airlines. Besides having something to change into in the carry on, we also have flip-flops for wearing in the hotel room. Never walk around barefoot anywhere in your hotel room nor take showers without them.
I carry a baby crib sheet to put over the seat (the head rest is the dirtiest place on the plane according to research), a blanket scarf, disinfectant wipes, and hand sanitizer. I get a few odd looks, but a few people thought it was a great idea.
Some excellent reminders for my packing list! Thank you!!
I’m going to Singapore in December, I appreciate this video.
The tip about tying a ribbon or putting stickers on your bags really works well. My mum used to tie a length of yarn to the handle of each bag. Plus, her Pullman suitcase had a ton of stickers from the first time we went to Europe, so we never had a problem claiming our luggage. We did have our suitcases sent to Rome instead of Berlin in 1972, but we got them back, so no harm done.
😀😀😀
😊😊 love your videos
Remember gang, always, I repeat, always put a paper clamp on all your razor blades and you're good to go, that is straight to the off site security search and pat down room.
Nice service, and glad to see so many of the cousins, siblings there. An excellent job by the pianist on the piano. Peace to all of you and to the rest of us nieces and nephews viewing from home nd me from snowy today, in Leesburg, VA. Annette DeCourcy Towler
this video is truly useful. love your videos bright side.
5:46 "Most airlines provide a pillow and blanket..." Right here I checked to see if this video is more than 15 years stale. Nope. It's only 4 days new. **Flash news** Most airlines do not provide a pillow and blanket.
Airlines do provide blankets and pillows for long haul flights.
I always get pyjamas and slippers as well.
They do for long haul flights. Quite common there
Most airlines these days only provide seats because of seatbelts rules. Coach passengers, anyway
And they only provide an Isle to get you underneath the required seat belt as well.

BRIGHT SIDE hi
Hey
How do you even take it through security
Thumbs up. I have traveled for decades and many tips took a while to figure out and you surprised me with 5, 6 and 7.
These tips videos are very accurate and amazing thxs bright side
A PERFECT place for bobby pins is in an old tic tac container
HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL USE
With a magnet inside it!
I use an old prescription bottle...reduce, reuse, recycle 😁 Positive vibes from New Hampshire and try to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 I save my old bottles, I have a couple hundred and I can’t bring myself to throw them away. I’m thinking of making something out of them.
This video has some great tips. Thank you, RUclipsr.
I agree
After accomodating all his recommendations in my carry-on and with no space left, I ended up buying a new bag and then paying extra for checking it in. Thank you Bright Side.
This was wonderful. Great advice
This was actually, super informative, and very clever! Usually, when people do these, "Hack", or "money saving ideas", videos, or whatever... They are all the same! Nothing new or interesting, or anything we haven't already seen before. This was amazing! I haven't seen almost ANY, of these tips before! Thank's! New subscriber! 😘
I am an old subscriber
And doggy bag for both breakfast lunch and dinner. You got all the snacks you need for those Sleepless late-night jet lags
No fruit or other prohibited items.
Great tips and videos as always =)
Nice Bright Side! You rock 👏🏽
For best results, consume half a can of baked beans an hour before takeoff, then have champagne in flight. Bottoms up, baby. Cheers!
LectronCircuits 🤣
lol
If your suitcase is marked “fragile” the baggage handlers will throw it underhand. 😲
Heave ho!
Yep 😄
Right!
AND TSA will surely yank it aside to investigate!
If it’s written in large noticeable lettering, not necessarily so.
Learned & enjoyed watching .. thank you
Thanks for the advice👍🏽
I love Propel, great taste and electrolytes. Freeze the night before and u can board a plane with ice, when it's melting you have water for your flight.
But what if it's started melting in between leaving your freezer and going through security?
3 of us stayed two nights at the Monaco marriot. Though we'd been told all meals would be included when we arrived we learned it was only breakfast and lunch. We took turns sneaking tons of breakfast buffet food to the room. This was fairly easy since we went to the pool pretty much first thing and had massive beach towels from home to carefully cover up our I'll gotten gains.
Another good reason to back extra zip-lock bags in you luggage.
I keep watching these arieplane✈️ tips because it is soon summer holidays!😄
I can't wait to eat the 🏨 food🥞🍔🍕🍟🌭🌮🍗🍧🍹🍴🍽️🥄
Thanks for the great tips!
And when everything is marked as fragile, nothing will be treated as fragile.
*HAHA EXACTLY!* 🤔🤣😂👏
Unless it’s a cooler or a wine box, we don’t treat fragile any different
@@troysemrau3654I work at a major shipping company and yeah, Fragile labels don't mean much at all.
NO KIDDING.HMMM. MARED AS FRAGILE. WELL LET'S SEE HERE. IF YOU WERE HOPING ON EGGS WITH NITRATE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TIPTOE . WHAT DO YOU THINK COLLEGE BOY😘
Exactly. The boy that cried wolf story.
Who keeps loose razor blades in their suitcase? “Put your scorpions in a mason jar to avoid getting stung while reaching for your passport;”
Really stoouuuupid
Really stooouuuuuped

That is going to be some very boring reading material for the scorpion.
How about a nice copy of Arachnid’s Quarterly or Stingers Illustrated?
Loose razors are not allowed anyway,.. will get confiscated.
@@teatonaz not in a checked luggage. Just carry on.
Thanks, really enjoyed this...🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆
Pillow Case! POW - great idea!
see? This is why I love Bright Side. It tells me things I never knew about. About 80% of the videos are useful to me.
You didn't mention how you can use a trash bag as a quick makeshift poncho also if need be.
This is so good right now I am going on 4 planes tommorw to go to the Caribbean at St. John

Great tips. Thanks very much 👍🏻
When I was in the Navy, before there was a TSA, I put duct tape and used it to make stripes on my duffel bag so I could spot it right away but half a dozen Marines waiting for their own duffel bags lifted and checked the tag as it was going around in the conveyor. They must of thought it meant their own duffel bag was searched.
I actually thought you were about to suggest re-using the shoe designated shower caps in the shower.
I like the tennis ball idea. Ooooh and the dryer sheets. Cool. Thanks,.
Nice now i know. Learning from the Philippines
Yea when the tsa questions why I have a garbage bag I’ll be like well is definitely isn’t to suffocate someone
"FRAGILE" makes your bag a target.
That is very true
Great job dude
Great tips to travel :)
As far as marking your bags fragile, I read the baggage guys tend to throw those bags twice as hard. If you want to protect your stuff, put on a sticker that says "I love baggage handlers". And an envelope with some 1s inside wouldn't hurt either. Those guys don't get tipped often.
"Caution. Live fire ants and hornets. Handle with care. "
Ooh! I like it! They sell “I love baggage handlers” stickers (and luggage tags) on Amazon.
Use tissue papers to keep your clothes from wrinkling and then stuff those clothes in a pillowcase to make a pillow!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is how the Queen packs!!
@@Spikesjade realy?
very helpful tips...
Really great info here... Thx
1:57 That's why all of my luggage bags are water-proofed. Frankly, I always travel as light as I can. I only take one carry-on luggage and one backpack, even on 10-day oversea trips.
If ur business will pay, or you can afford, fedx it overnight to hotel or office, especially golf clubs!
1:02 "...keeps your ears from popping during takeoff and landing." What's that, again? It is just the opposite. Chewing helps allow your ears to 'pop' during climb and may help your ears to 'pop' during descent, facilitating in both cases equalization of air pressure on both sides of the eardrum by keeping the eustachian tube open.
Yes, I heard it as well. It's the opposite indeed.
I learnt something new today! :D
These are all great tips. Years ago, I felt so sorry for this little girl who was really hurting because of her ears. I mean you could tell--it was one of those "I hurt" cries. not just because she was bored or cranky. My mum offered some gum, but she was just a bit too young to bew chewing gum . When her mum talked to the stewardess, she got ahold of the captain who was able to bring the plane down to around 25,000 feet--it worked.
If you don't have gum with you on a plane, yawning helps with the pressure in your ears. My mum always tried to have a few pieces of bubble gum for me if I had trouble with my ears (fortunatunately, my ears do pop, but thus far no pain), but when she didn't, yawning worked fine for me.
Or push your ear lugs in to cover your ear canals, apply a bit of pressure and release, simple.
I miss my children,there daddy took them away from me across United states,but...iam going to court to see them iam soooooo excited to look at there beautiful faces and give them a hugs,
I feel the same I was taken away from my dad, but I can still visit him every once a 2 weeks. Organize somthing like that maby.
I first have to find out where they live? Tried to find out where youngest 14yr old daughter was,the courts ask me if I wanted her address or her father's? WHAT?
What does this have to do with generic travel tips. What the ??????
@@teatonaz um? Nothing! Haha
@@vickieyvonnewilhite2438 Bit of a inner blonde yourself, arent you? This isnt exactly the best forum for you to post your family problems just because the topic of the video reminded you of them...
Does the tennis ball vibrate? It will
feel better when massaging my back
Cut a plastic straw to the half size length of a necklace. Put one end through it then fasten the clasp. This prevents the chain from becoming tangled.
Luv tip re dryer sheets!
This is gonna change my entire life because I’m a traveler 🧳
I customized my luggage fully and some woman still tried to say it was her stuff! I showed her my name on it and she tried to call for security saying that I was trying to rob her. She was a crazy lady trying to take off with my luggage. Comes to find out, her luggage bag was black and mine was a Calvin Kline one with rainbow guard straps and robins. You still have to keep an eye out for crazy thieves.
Same thing happened to me in Brazil where a guy tried to leave with my bag that was clearly identified with my name with gold sharpie all over it... A clear attempt of theft.
@@cac2244 In Brasil?? No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was not crazy, and I still think you stole my bag and identity.
I find using Press N Seal over the tops of cosmetic / shampoo bottles, toothpaste, perfume etc keeps the liquid safely inside...take any caps off- put the plastic over the top and return the caps- it's been a life saver to prevent spillage even when the items are in a plastic bag. 😀
Great tips!
Bruh, former baggage handler here.. we dont got time for that, it's getting tossed where ever it fits. And expect for your suitcase to incur damage over time if you travel often. Because baggage are not packages, they are not treated with care.
Just wanted to add
To insure you get your, lookalikebag, put your name on bottom of luggage with marker
Bad tip......I once got thrown off a flight for playing with my balls!
That was so helpful
thank you iy helps me a lot
I only knew about the gum from my mother but the tennis ball?
That's strange but new and interesting.
omg same
Unless you are in business class, it will be difficult to massage your lower legs - with or without tennis ball.
"If your baggage is marked as ‘FRAGILE’…"
At Gatwick Airport might it be on top ?
Yeh, maybe thrown on top !
4:25 chargers / powercords in a sunglasses case - I use a clear small "sandwich" baggie for each, with a larger one to keep them all into. Works well, and less cumbersome than sunglass cases.
All very useful. Cheers :)
That girl eating gum had me dying with laughter
Reminded me of watching the giraffes chew their cuds, lol!
Put all of your pocket items in a zip lock baggie. Then just pop it out at security.
Great info!👍🏾
Some of this advice is useful, even if you're not flying. BTW, hearing someone chewing their gum near you can sound really obnoxious. Especially if you're stuck sitting there for a long period of time.
Hey there! Former ramp agent and ops agent for one of the bigger commercial carriers. Some additional tidbits:
7) "Fragile" tags are plentiful and don't really have the same effect they used to. When every bag is marked "fragile", none get special treatment.
9) Ribbons and bows can make your bag stand out, but they also get caught on belt loaders and other bags in the plane's bag compartment. It can and has led to damage to baggage itself.
16) Early flights are the cleanest flights because the Overnights get the deep clean, where a flight that has been going on all day just gets the trash cans emptied.
17) Despite common sense, eating a big lunch will actually expand your stomach and make you even hungrier during later meals
20) Increased pressure altitude dulls taste buds, so everything tastes bland. Snacks are oversalted and seasoned just to have the same taste- another reason to avoid snacks and juices.
Bonus: The air used to pressurize the cabin is bled from the air going through the engine during cruise.
21 remember to bring a pet cages if someone keep accidentally knocking you just cramp inside the cages
FINALLY SUBSCRIBED TO YOU!
The bean tip at the end was worth a like.
You feel dirty after flying because airplanes and airports are gross....
And you are around a lot of people you don't know in a considerably small area when on the plane
Feel dirty after being groped by TSA.
A fragile sticker might make your suitcase a target. 😂
Ready to travel now
