I sometimes go a step further and use that screenshot as my lock screen wallpaper then you don't even need to get into your phone and then open an app...
Word, I like to do that too
Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Ingenious!!
lol
Not a bad idea !!
This helped out a lot. I’ve never flown by myself so I was very confused on what to do
The tip with the gate number is really helpful - because of my poor eyesight I struggle to read the information displays at the airport but typing the flight number into Google is easy and quick. I’ll try your tips in six weeks when I’m (hopefully) traveling from home (Berlin, Germany) to England to visit close friends
Thanks for sharing!
Take a screenshot of the bar code!!! Do'h!!! I can't believe I never thought of that! I'm not only a fumbler looking for that code, I'm also a panicker!!
Hopefully this can make your trip a little less stressful!
Thank you, this was actually very helpfull for a first time flyer.
When I travel I usually know a lot of things I am going to do already.
Not that the plans are not flexible.
But I usually keep all needed documents in my Google drive in my travel folder.
Airline boarding pass
Car rental
Hotel or AirBnB with check in instructions
Any tickets or passes needed for any event
I will also down load the Google map to my phone with destination navigation. Incase cell reception is bad in that area.
Maybe a few restaurants I am willing to try with reservations if needed
Everything available offline of course.
If some of the plans are date time sensitive, I will add them to my Google calendar And for android users, I have a folder on the home screen with all the short cuts.
And as I complete each item or no longer need the document, I will move it to a sub folder of completed. That way when other events come up, I am not looking at a bunch of stuff I already did. But that is where the Google calendar helps too
You can call up the day and see what is needed for that day.
Probably too much for one video
Maybe a travel series?
Great timing I am traveling tomorrow
Happy travels!
Where you going
that warp tho, makes you look like a T-1000
I'll be back!
Lol what it’s like when your drunk in gta
iOS handles this brilliantly. Once you have your boarding pass from your app, you are prompted to save to your wallet and then the location services puts that boarding pass consistently on your lock screen. A quick swipe and there’s your boarding pass. I’ve yet to find anything as easy on Android yet.
Scott Kearns I was just about to comment that. My first time flying it has made my life easier already
I should have though about taking a screen shot, great tip!! It happened to me once that my boarding pass just disappeared from my phone just as it was my turn to pass security and I had to turn around to go get a paper boarding pass. I almost missed my flight because of this and have been printing all my boarding pass since then!
Thanks for sharing. Happy travels!
Very informative much appreciated
I was thinking the same of taking that screenshot but hesitant. I thought it won't work. Well, thanks dude for the information.
You're very welcome!
thank you for this!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you! 🙏 I needed this since it’s my first time traveling! 💯
Wishing you all the best on your first trip!
That was very helpful, thank you! 😁
You're welcome!
This is very helpful. In addition to screen saver, I will send a screen shot to my family. I can just check their text messages. For me back up, back up backup
Thanks for sharing that bonus tip!
My first flight is tomorrow and I have my boarding pass on my phone but I have a few questions. I only have a carry on bag, am I allowed to skip ahead go directly to the gate?
Un experience flier and I got my international tickets through Expedia and I dont see anything but itinerary. No ticket or no boarding pass? what do i do?
It's a no brainer but I have not tried it. Thanks
Do I have to go to security check up again as I already get all my boarding pass for my next connecting flight or I will go straight to my boarding gate for the next flight
That was very helpful.
Glad to hear, Linda!
Be as humble as a little child. If you do this you will be a step closer to attaining peace, happiness, and eternal life.
Could you please tell me the difference between Express boarding ticket and boarding pass?
boarding ticket is just the ticket you bought for the airline the pass is what you need to get on the plane
Couldn't help to look at his moving hand constantly on the picture frame
is "ticket stubs" and same as a boarding pass? I am getting ready to travel to Lagos. The interview inspector is requesting that I submit "ticket stubs" as proof of travel. Is a borading pass and "ticket stub" the same? Please help
How we check out from San Francisco airport for example I come from turkey back to America check out is hard for me I don’t know please help thank you
LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
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.
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...
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 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 skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case.
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 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights.
Tip #3 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
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
4 ribbons
1 designer ribbon
colored taped handle
stencil spray paint a 2” stencil letter or number or word to the suit case surface in addition to using all the ideas here.
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 may vary at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a
HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE
It is less than $15.

Bro i love you
I can't find my QR code for boarding pass help
I really like the tips, but the camera waving around makes me dizzy... and it keeps distorting...
wow I would of always assumed the gate # would be on your boarding pass.
Ipad se hore skta hai?
Can I just print out the email they sent of my passes and stuff and just give them that or no ?
As long as it has the QR code on it, it should be fine.
Simpletivity I also have another question, if I’m in terminal 4 when I leave, will I still be in terminal 4 when I land? My boyfriends mom is picking me up from the airport and she was wondering what terminal I’d be in but my pass doesn’t show and when I went to the website my exact airline would be in terminal 4
@@Shegroovyy it depends gates numbers are different in other airports
