Below I have compiled some of my top
favorite travel tips for anyone who will be flying. You have to find ways to
survive all that time at the airport and today I share them with you.
1.
Pack
less: The trick about traveling is you need to let go of most of your comforts.
Jump out of your comfort zone and wing it. It’s better to travel with less, you
will have less to carry around, but feel free to carry a lot of unnecessary
things… you will only end up giving them away to someone who probably needs
them a lot more than you do.
2.
Go
vegetarian: should you be flying somewhere, the quickest way to get your food on
a flight is by ordering vegetarian. They will always bring it to you before
they serve everyone else.

3.
When
browsing for flights, browse privately: Airline companies use cookies to
monitor your browsing history so they can always tell when you have been
searching other airlines for flights and they raise the ticket prices
accordingly. Rather browse for flights incognito or use a different browser to
check for flights. You can also delete your browser history.

4.
The
best time to book your flight tickets is on a Tuesday at 3pm, six weeks before
your travels is when flight tickets are the absolute cheapest. Always book your
departure date for a Tuesday or Wednesday as those days are always cheaper.
5.
Get
your luggage labeled fragile: People will always take better care of your
luggage when labeled fragile. One less thing to worry about if you have seen
how you luggage is handled behind the scenes after checking in – I have.

6.
Weigh
your luggage before heading to the airport to avoid the headache of being told
that your luggage weighs too much (My dad taught me this and the man has not a
single traveler bone in him).
