We’ve all been there. It feels like everything is going right as you’re preparing to leave for your flight, and then all of a sudden there’s a travel 911 in the airport. Seeing as it’s summer and we enjoy traveling more often in this season, it felt necessary to share some flying travel tips to get you through the airport successfully, every time. Scroll on to find some of our favorite travel hacks.
Weigh your bag
Weigh your bag before you get to the airport and make sure it’s within the airport’s standards. They’re always going to catch you.
Have backups
Put all travel documents, recommendations, and inspiration on your phone. Print copies of important travel documents. Things are lost and stolen pretty frequently when traveling abroad, so having a backup plan is to have copies tucked away somewhere.
TSA PreCheck
TSA PreCheck will change your life if you travel a lot. You arrive at the airport within the same hour of takeoff, walk straight through TSA PreCheck, and right to boarding. There’s really no reason to get to the airport early unless you have checked luggage. TSA PreCheck saves you tons of time and stress on each trip, and takes just five minutes to sign up.
Antibacterial Wipes
Traveling a lot presents a risk of germs and getting sick. If this is a big concern of yours, a flying travel hack you may consider is to bring your own antibacterial biodegradable wipes. As soon as you sit down on the plane, wipe down your seat and anything you’ll have to touch during the flight.
The Private Suite
If you get the urge to splurge, you may want to try out The Private Suite. It’s like a dream, from beginning to end. You enter from a private terminal, go through private TSA screening, and head to your own suite. When it’s time for your flight, they take you away in a car right on the tarmac to the airplane.
Reward Programs
Sign up for a reward program and stick with the same airline so you can rack up those points and miles. After a while, you’ll attain status. Status is important because it gives you perks like access to airport lounges around the world, complimentary upgrades to business or first class, and priority boarding. You also have access to the priority check-in counters, so if you’re running late for a flight, it saves you so much time. It makes flying a lot better when you are a loyal customer to an airline because they try to make your flight experience as enjoyable as possible.
