    Chanel: “Why do they call it a lavatory? it sounds so scientific” I was cracking up so loud when you said that, I found this to be so helpful .

      That's what we called it in high school, too. We would ask for a "Pass to the lav", for short.

      Other call it Lavatories

    I perfer window seat because I like looking out the window while the plane is being pushed back from the gate and especially while the plane is taking off. That's the best part of the flight for me .😊 Also great traveling tips on what to bring with you when you flying.

    I had no idea you could go through international security for domestic flights 🤯 thank you for this info!

      @jadw33 ปีที่แล้ว

      I live in Metro Atlanta and I also didn't know you could drive to the International Terminal and go through security there and connect via the train to the rest of Atlanta's domestic terminals. I will try this the next time I fly! Thx!

    I haven't traveled much since Covid so thank you for the refresher course honey. I hope all is well with you.

    @Erinawesome17 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I love a window seat, but I have to sit in the aisle seat on longer flights because I have to use the lavatory quite often. The best flights for me are when I have a whole row to myself so I can have the best of both worlds.

  • @heatherdonnelly1801
    @heatherdonnelly1801 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

  • @paddyanne2024
    @paddyanne2024 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love your cheerful commentary! and your good tips that you share, thank you! I prefer aisle seats for short flights, but window for long flights, ie overseas etc.

  • @thestitcher3335
    @thestitcher3335 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really like window seats no matter what method of transportation I use cuz i just like to look out the window and if I'm gonna be in the air then I can see the clouds and the view of the ground and its just kinda nice to see the ground get small and u can see more then what u see on the ground and it just looks so cool. (I went on an airplane in 3rd grade for a family emergency (or something) and I'm going on a plane again in a few years so I can go back to ohio)

    Great video! Also for all the mommies and daddies out there, if you are traveling with small children, you can bring liquid (water or breast milk or even a premade bottle with formula). They will have to test it so that will take a few extra minutes. ( 10 minutes was the longest time but it’s typically 3-5 minutes extra) I got through with 3 bottles of water no problems. I’ve been traveling at least twice a year with my little ones for the past 5 years and no issues.

  • @cheriepynk8259
    @cheriepynk8259 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’m tsa officer, you definitely wanna put your large electronic in a bin by itself! Make sure no liquid is in your bag over 3.4 oz, take off shoes, belt, jacket oversized hats.
    Duty free, make sure it’s in a tapered proof bag or it won’t go. And make sure don’t have any prohibited items for example: knives/gun etc.
    Also things that fall under the 3.1.1 rules are liquids, gels, creams and aerosols ✌🏽

  • @jaialandria

  • @IMOO1896
    @IMOO1896 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I’m so glad you mentioned going thru security at ATL international. I flew with a group a couple years ago and the driver took us to int-n, there was discussion and it was decided we needed to go to security in dem-s, so we reboard the bus, go thru major hassle, then come back to int-n. We’re going g again in the spring, so, since we’ll be leaving from inter-n I’ll suggest we bypass the super busy line. Thanks so much. btw, a repeat order is to remove belt and watch. I’ve even had to remove earrings and necklace. So please, just listen to the security guards. And why don’t they announce boarding time instead of flight time for int-n flighty?

  • @2Blessed2BeStressful
    @2Blessed2BeStressful 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Love the video! When I load my items through security, I usually put my suitcase last cause I’m less likely to leave it and will be forced to see my smaller items first, which I am more likely to leave on the security belt thing. Lol

    Flying to Atlanta from Texas in September and it will be the 1st time since COVID. I am a frequent flyer so this trip is going to be interesting, Thank you for this! I always hate changing planes in Atlanta as that airport is huge and if you have a connecting flight expect a long walk! I always go to the bathroom before I get on the plane, hate the labortory, lol! You are awesome! Window girl and a lot of times I noticed for the window you have to pay extra girl I do not care.

    Your tips are amazing! Thank you for sharing this! Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.
    I've been using this bag for months now and it is such a hack.
    It has a trolley sleeve feature and it fits under the seat too! makes your travel more convenient and effortless and it packs like a suitcase too!

    LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4
    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
    th-cam.com/video/X0yh5rKB9lE/w-d-xo.html
    This knot does not loosen.
    Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie.

    No personal name necessary.
    No address necessary on the ribbon.

    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 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.
