Another Hack: if you are ever on vacation for a special event let the hotel know. So for example my husband and I were on our honeymoon and the asked what we were in Florida for and we told them our honeymoon. They upgraded up for free and gave us a free bottle of wine and one night of free room service. We originally went a little cheaper on the hotel so we would have more money for other things but because of the free upgrade we got to have a nice hotel room. It was awesome!
reminds me of that episode of Friends rofl when monica and chance were on their honeymoon and the couple in front of them in line kept getting upgrades because they were on their honeymoon too lol

The getting bumped hack is great, but check to see when there are additional flights first. If you're flying internationally, or to a less traveled destination, the next flight may not be until the next day & if you only have a limited number of vacation days this could mess up your holiday.
You're also not guaranteed the very next flight. Some airlines (Delta) will put you on the next available flight, and if they're all overbooked, it could be a couple days later. That's what happened to me, I gave up my seat for a $900 credit and a first-class upgrade, and instead of leaving Thursday at 3:30 PM, I left at 11:40 PM on Friday because the three flights in between were overbooked.
Also if you are going for a business trip, to meet family( it depends on your family), or going on a cruise you probably dont want to have your flights bumped.
Me and my boyfriend did hack 1 , got to the desk and the lady asked us if we wanted to get bumped to the next flight and they would pay us for us ! They basically paid for our entire holiday and spending money!!
That man who got dragged off the plane was being so immature. All airlines have the right to kick someone off the plane (maybe not drag, but that man was acting like a child)
@@alexandralersteen9274 are you blaming the victim? the guy paid for the ticket, he has a right to stay. Besides, I found it very suspicious that airline can just kick people out of the flight if they want to, I bet sometimes their actions are based on shaky grounds.
I am a front Office Supervisor for Marriott hotels and if you ask for an upgrade at check in if the hotel is not sold out and your nice most likely you will get the upgrade. Also I would stay away from third party reservations. Your room type is never guaranteed through them and if you have a bad experience the hotel can't offer any type of discount off your rate because it was booked from an outside source. The reason why we can't take any money off the rate is because the rate is determined by the 3rd party reservation website and they are the only people who can adjust rates on reservations booked through them and not the hotel. Also I always tell people to try and call the hotel first. Most of the time they will agree to match the rate you see online from a 3rd party reservation website (Expedia, Priceline, etc) because then the hotel does not have to pay these companies commission which saves the hotel money. But honestly from my experience within the hospitality industry kindness will get you very far. I know myself and my colleagues love to do the absolute most for people who are nice. If your rude good luck getting anything extra complimentary.

I have a tip, if you check into a hotel late (around end of day, midnight) you might get upgraded to a nicer room. This has happened to me before, they automatically upgraded us to an apartment suite on the top floor. This has happened to people I know too... but I don't know if it's guaranteed though.
lilella He was a doctor that had to help a patient. If I were him I wouldn't have gotten off either. Plus, they threatened him with jail and then made him bleed. Like he did the same thing everyone else would do in the situation!🤦🏻♀️
lilella he shouldn't have had to been taken off anyways because he paid for it he had a right to stay.. they dragged him off and made him bleed he was NOT in the wrong at all
Dora wrong that’s actually pretty rare! A lot of watches actually. They will remove it for bed and put it in a drawer. Had to post out 8 last month and still a box full there

Thank you so much for sharing this! I do have my own hack that I wanted to share! It's the bento bag from Nomad Lane. The bag has a trolley sleeve that makes carrying my bag easier. It also fits under the seat so I can get anything I want easily!
Sitting near the front not only allows you to get off first and all that but also gives you a smoother landing from everyone else. True fact as the front of the plane is the last part of the plane to land in general.
but in case of plane crash you are at the highest risk of dying if you're sitting in the front bcs then the front of the plane is probably going to be hitting the ground first
For upgrades, flying with an airline you're a frequent flyer of and being one of the last people to the gate has gotten me upgraded several times. Enjoy the lounge for a little longer and then get a free 12h business class experience is.... quite nice
Lots of great tips! Be forewarned though- Seatguru isn't always up to date. I relied on them for help in picking out flights and their maps were completely inaccurate for the flight I took from Europe to the states.
Hi! Airline employee! The busiest days to travel are mondays, Thursday’s and Fridays. Sunday’s and saturdays are actually very chill. I get a lot of overbooked flights on the first three mentioned days. And if you’re booking last minute, days after bad weather are great because the potential number of stranded passengers who tried to flit during the bad weather.
he showed his ticket that he bought and explained politely that he was a doctor going to visit his patients. there was no need for him to be beaten and dragged off. do not defend them
Vienn Kelmendi Here we go. What happened was on a United Airlines flight a couple weeks ago,was three people were asked to get off the plane,two did, but, when there was no third,the captain happened to have someone ask this guy who happened to be a surgeon or doctor to get off the plane. He refused because he had patients or cases to see in the morning, since the captain said the plane wasn't leaving until the three people got off,and since the man refused,the captain had air security come and beat him up,make him bleed and drag him off the plane. I wouldn't say you shouldn't travel on United Airlines but, I see why people would be nervous to fly with them.
Getting upgraded to comfort plus or first class really depends on the airline. My boyfriend works for one and their boarding process is way different from other airlines.
Hey Shelby, I’m planning on a very long flight with probably multiple stops, I was wondering if you had any tricks for getting cheeper flights or just more tricks in general. Thanks :)
What airlines do you use? It is very rare for me to find an overbooked airplane even though it's very cheap. I used to fly easyjet and Ryanair when I was in Europe, but they are not exactly 'overbooked'. The one I can think of off my experience is scoot (My flight to Japan), however they won't compensate for it so if you're late then everything goes to shit! HAHA. Well thanks for the wonderful info though, I will try to be informative on my channel as well xD
TnT Adventures hey there! Since our channel contents are practically the same do you want to switch subscriptions so we could help build each other up? :) I will but right now I'm in the middle of studying. I promise I'll leave some comments!
I highly recommend, when you need to book a hotel last minute to call directly the front desk, like the hotel number and tell them you'd like the room but it's too expensive for what's worth it. then you tell them that they could give it to you for less or risk it and have it vacant. most of the times they lower the prices :) also if you go there in person, but that's harder for many people because you need to look comfortable and relaxed and also have a plan B in case it doesn't work.
If you want to be upgraded, it helps to be on the back row of seats. If the flight is fairly empty, the cabin crew will be thinking that this is a much more comfortable place for them to sit than the fold down seats they get.
I know I’m late, but one time I was in the very front row on the D, E, F side of the plane. There was a person that was disabled and had to be switched rows, and so my family and I moved to the A, B, C side of the plane, also on the first row. These were the seats by the entrance to the plane. It turns out, I’m too young to ride in the front of the plane. Luckily, the flight wasn’t overbooked and so they moved us back. We got free drinks, foods and literally whatever we wanted. We did it even need it. It was a great flight
This video was SOOOOO helpful!! I am going on a trip to France this summer, and it is supposed to be a 10 hour plane ride! These tips are going to help so much! Thanx! 😻
I used to travel all 2-3 times per month some of which was international. Was always a blessing when they would come to you in the main cabin and said they have reassigned you to a very low row number :-P , I have accrued almost a million miles on Delta, 500k on American the remaining ones I lost track of. Once you get married, travel is no longer as much fun when you travel alone. Good tips. I have noticed more perks come my way when I am dressed up as compared to being dressed down.
Only seen a couple of your videos. Just curious, but why do you travel so much? Great music at intro. Very nice. Infact the music is exceptionally nice throughout the video. Any links to the music? Fantastic travel tips too! Ever do cruises? You're adorable Shelby! Thank you. 💖
I'm Australian and went to America with my family, and we were so confused because one of our domestic tickets somehow said TSA Precheck but we hadn't done anything special 😂 A lady told us to go through the precheck section and wow it was way easier!
"So, is it traveling or travelling? It depends on where you are writing and who is your audience. Travelling is the preferred spelling in British English. Traveling is the preferred spelling in American English. Whether you’re talking about travelled or traveled or traveller or traveler, these same preferences still apply (WritingExplained)."
Oh and one more hack - pick your seats early and then as you get closer to fly day, check the seat selection again - there are sometimes single seats freed up at the front of the plane with late changes - switch seats then to move up to a better row closer to the front.
I absolutely love Alaska airlines. I’ve flown with them and every single time they are fantastic. My friend had another flight that she was going to be late for, they let her get off the plane before anyone else so she could run to catch it. They are super helpful. The only issue is the weird people I always seem to fly with ugh!
For etihad air: they overbooked a flight so 24 passangers were stranded in Abu dhabi. We couldnt get compensation for that even though they said, but we did due to EU Law 261/2004 as we departed from Manchester UK. NEVER TRUST ETIHAD WE HAD TO GET LAWYERS FOR THAT CASE
I'm flying on Thursday night 3Am get up and flying at 6Am and it is to BULGARIA from England yay 6 months later uhg what have i wrote Why do wizz air and easyjet don't have first class
I'd like to have more informations on how to get bumped, does that only happens in America? because I've never heard of it in Europe :( Also, i didn't get the "being upgraded", but then I only travel with easy jet and cheap airplanes who don't have first class....
If you want a larger room, but don't qualify for an upgrade, see if a corner room is available. Corner rooms are just oddly proportioned, usually, hotels fudge on the design and the corners end up a little bigger.
Quality video tbf. I’m from London , living in Sydney. - the busy days for a flight is so legit aswell. Never book ok a Wednesday 🙈 where are you based in America?
These are some pretty good hacks. I do a job which requires a lot of airline travel, and I am amazed at how many of my colleagues fail to stick to one airline, or miss out on chances to maximize points from airlines and hotels. If you pick the major airline at your airport (if your airport is a hub for a major), then you can get a lot more direct flights which is convenient. That being said, I used to make top status with United, merely by staying loyal to them at a non-hub. I earned my status not by number of miles flown (hard unless you do a lot of international or a lot of bi-coastal), but by number of flights taken (segments). Most of my business trips required two flights out and two back. If memory serves it took 120 segments to top status, or 30 business trips. It takes longer, but you will earn more miles (even short segments are rounded up to 500 air miles typically). And you'll get a lot of VIP treatment and free upgrades. These days I am more about convenience so I fly Delta from a Delta hub and just about squeak into Diamond status, which is the highest regular status you can earn.
I am going at the 7 star hotel in Dubai ( it’s going to be a long journey on the plane because I live in England 🏴) and this is sooo helpful because I have never been traveling so much . Thanks for sharing 🐶❤️❤️
Ok, funny story for everyone that I found to be my "life hack" for a trip to DC for a week. This could work for both men or woman. Guys, it's time to step out of your "possible" comfort zone and do a little acting on this one. The hotel I stayed at was the Beacon Hotel which was nicely located among "Embassy Row" and a mile walk into everything with 11 stories. Back story, my buddy's wife is a Hotel Manager and friends with my wife. During our dinner conversation she said her straight male counter clerks often gave room upgrades to the cute, solo female travelers. She said, "You know woman, they flirt and almost get anything they want if they're good.". I'm a cop and yeah, this was a banter because .....yes I let a couple ladies off for speeding and single guys would CLEARLY understand why!! The guy behind the counter was CLEARLY gay as some men are in that industry. As I was checking in I just thought "why not see if I could work this a little to see if I can get an upgrade. Works for woman, why not men? I checked in real late from the flight with a smile and a cute little smirk and commented on how nice he looked and that his tie was "smashing". I then asked what cologne he was wearing then said "smells inviting" with a cute little smile. Come on guys, if you aren't flirting with woman like that then you have no game. For a moment, just convince your mind you are talking to a hot babe. He was flattered I guess as he said after going into the computer for a bit longer, "here's our room, enjoy your stay." Then he freakin winked at me!! WTH??? I left the counter thinking "WHAT THE FUCK did I just do?? I'm going to have a gay stalker for a week! When I got in the elevator I looked at my ticket and I realized this wasn't the room I reserved and that this was on the 11th floor. I get to the room and open the door to the freakin Penthouse that had a 12x14 living area with a HUGE big screen TV, a bathroom with a hot tub etc. The little kitchen separated the living area to the sleeping area that had 6 foot glass windows with a view of the White House off in the distance. Not bad for a little acting. And lucky for me, he never joined me for a drink at the bar. And NO, I wasn't wearing my ring. Don't worry, the reason for that was all work related.
I love how this is an actual travel hack video. Other videos tend to say all the "hacks" that are pretty much common sense like "book early for cheaper flights" like no shit I knew that already..

Danielle Parsons okay i missed a United Airlines plane and i Got into an other fligth, and it was soooo much better
Danielle Parsons I fly Lan it's the best you get tv even if your not in first class and you don't need to pay for it and they give you delicious food
REEDY THE RED PANDA all airlines do that
Danielle Parsons truuuue
LOGANG PAULER You Should Try Southwest
I'm broke. The only time I fly is when I smoke some good kush.
That's probably why you're broke.
Hahahahhaha I want to do the same thing
What airlines do you use? It is very rare for me to find an overbooked airplane even though it's very cheap. I used to fly easyjet and Ryanair when I was in Europe, but they are not exactly 'overbooked'. The one I can think of off my experience is scoot (My flight to Japan), however they won't compensate for it so if you're late then everything goes to shit! HAHA. Well thanks for the wonderful info though, I will try to be informative on my channel as well xD
hi there. You seem to be a good person to ask to comment on my videos and what i could do better to get some more views? help me out pretty please :)
TnT Adventures hey there! Since our channel contents are practically the same do you want to switch subscriptions so we could help build each other up? :) I will but right now I'm in the middle of studying. I promise I'll leave some comments!
Ah! Ich hab grad gesehen dass du eine Detuschin bist. Ich hab in Deutschland fuer 5 Monate gewohnt, deshalb kann ich ein bisschen Deutsch ;)
TravelingStudent yes that would actually be great. What are you studying?
TravelingStudent voll tooolllll. Subscribe to my channel. We should stay in contact
I highly recommend, when you need to book a hotel last minute to call directly the front desk, like the hotel number and tell them you'd like the room but it's too expensive for what's worth it. then you tell them that they could give it to you for less or risk it and have it vacant. most of the times they lower the prices :) also if you go there in person, but that's harder for many people because you need to look comfortable and relaxed and also have a plan B in case it doesn't work.
If you want to be upgraded, it helps to be on the back row of seats. If the flight is fairly empty, the cabin crew will be thinking that this is a much more comfortable place for them to sit than the fold down seats they get.
Can anyone please tell me what the intro song ?? I love it

WAIT THESE ARE GENUIS

Emily Tercero me🙋♀️
That music at the beginning sounded so good in my ears
I know I’m late, but one time I was in the very front row on the D, E, F side of the plane. There was a person that was disabled and had to be switched rows, and so my family and I moved to the A, B, C side of the plane, also on the first row. These were the seats by the entrance to the plane. It turns out, I’m too young to ride in the front of the plane. Luckily, the flight wasn’t overbooked and so they moved us back. We got free drinks, foods and literally whatever we wanted. We did it even need it. It was a great flight
This video was SOOOOO helpful!! I am going on a trip to France this summer, and it is supposed to be a 10 hour plane ride! These tips are going to help so much! Thanx! 😻
Maybe you will get lucky and it won't be ten hours. I'm sure they were just guessing when they said that.
Hmmmmmmmmm... 32?
That was a joke, people!
Journey with Jules no it wasnt
lol i actually guessed 32

Journey with Jules no it isnt
Journey with Jules (edited.....)
This is gonna be so dumb but I thought the thumbnail said free first GLASS instead of CLASS. I'm so dumb
Nina Hindocha omg same
I used to travel all 2-3 times per month some of which was international. Was always a blessing when they would come to you in the main cabin and said they have reassigned you to a very low row number :-P , I have accrued almost a million miles on Delta, 500k on American the remaining ones I lost track of. Once you get married, travel is no longer as much fun when you travel alone. Good tips.
I have noticed more perks come my way when I am dressed up as compared to being dressed down.
How do you get upgraded though? Do you just ask to be upgraded from the workers at the airport when you chec in ?
*It's 32, end of story.*
dang it..
You make me wanna travel ✈️🙌🏼
will the airport allow me to bring shaver for legs?i really need to know bcoz i im going on holiday soon xx
OMG
Only seen a couple of your videos. Just curious, but why do you travel so much?
Great music at intro. Very nice. Infact the music is exceptionally nice throughout the video. Any links to the music?
Fantastic travel tips too! Ever do cruises? You're adorable Shelby! Thank you. 💖
I'm Australian and went to America with my family, and we were so confused because one of our domestic tickets somehow said TSA Precheck but we hadn't done anything special 😂 A lady told us to go through the precheck section and wow it was way easier!
DELTA: Don’t Expect Luggage To Arrive
I thought it was DELTA: DONT EVEN LEAVE THE AIRPORT
1:50 *you look like you're going to tell us to pick the one with 32 seats left*
i am traveling tomorow
*tomorrow
*travelling
"So, is it traveling or travelling? It depends on where you are writing and who is your audience. Travelling is the preferred spelling in British English.

Me 2! Ahahah
hey do you like travel videos?? i got some on my channel? check it out :)
Oh and one more hack - pick your seats early and then as you get closer to fly day, check the seat selection again - there are sometimes single seats freed up at the front of the plane with late changes - switch seats then to move up to a better row closer to the front.
I absolutely love Alaska airlines. I’ve flown with them and every single time they are fantastic. My friend had another flight that she was going to be late for, they let her get off the plane before anyone else so she could run to catch it. They are super helpful. The only issue is the weird people I always seem to fly with ugh!
For etihad air: they overbooked a flight so 24 passangers were stranded in Abu dhabi. We couldnt get compensation for that even though they said, but we did due to EU Law 261/2004 as we departed from Manchester UK. NEVER TRUST ETIHAD WE HAD TO GET LAWYERS FOR THAT CASE
Prem R red passport all the way❤️🇬🇧😂
Start of this video blew my mind! Like if you were wearing headphones 🎧
Gracie Carlin on the dual speakers setup on the galaxy s9+ the music sound was blowing my mind

Omg ikr i was searching if anyone wrote tht!
Yasmin Hamouche lol u just had to say that
I'm flying on Thursday night 3Am get up and flying at 6Am and it is to BULGARIA from England yay
6 months later uhg what have i wrote
Why do wizz air and easyjet don't have first class
I'd like to have more informations on how to get bumped, does that only happens in America? because I've never heard of it in Europe :( Also, i didn't get the "being upgraded", but then I only travel with easy jet and cheap airplanes who don't have first class....
If you want a larger room, but don't qualify for an upgrade, see if a corner room is available. Corner rooms are just oddly proportioned, usually, hotels fudge on the design and the corners end up a little bigger.
These hacks helped me prepare for my flight to Africa!
that woman sitting back there took a picture of you 2:58

Quality video tbf. I’m from London , living in Sydney. - the busy days for a flight is so legit aswell. Never book ok a Wednesday 🙈 where are you based in America?
Flight with 20 seats coz its most popular
I want the music in the beginning of the video 😜😁
Masz M me too!!! But shazam couldn't find the name of the song.....
My aunt works in the airport and gets me and my family into first class any time we want 🤷🏼♀️
Jessica Meleady my uncle works at delta and I don’t
These are some pretty good hacks. I do a job which requires a lot of airline travel, and I am amazed at how many of my colleagues fail to stick to one airline, or miss out on chances to maximize points from airlines and hotels.
If you pick the major airline at your airport (if your airport is a hub for a major), then you can get a lot more direct flights which is convenient. That being said, I used to make top status with United, merely by staying loyal to them at a non-hub. I earned my status not by number of miles flown (hard unless you do a lot of international or a lot of bi-coastal), but by number of flights taken (segments). Most of my business trips required two flights out and two back. If memory serves it took 120 segments to top status, or 30 business trips. It takes longer, but you will earn more miles (even short segments are rounded up to 500 air miles typically). And you'll get a lot of VIP treatment and free upgrades.
These days I am more about convenience so I fly Delta from a Delta hub and just about squeak into Diamond status, which is the highest regular status you can earn.
What’s a roll away bed? Awsome video thanks for making it!

Bel Adams IKR
Thank you for saying it

She copied her insta
Bel Adams that's what I was just thinking.
I used the USB behind the TV hack when I went to SF this summer! Thanks 👍
To get upgrades for free do you ask to get upgraded when you get to the front checkin desk or the gate? U didn't say
I am going at the 7 star hotel in Dubai ( it’s going to be a long journey on the plane because I live in England 🏴) and this is sooo helpful because I have never been traveling so much . Thanks for sharing 🐶❤️❤️
5:04 ...”adult toys” .....mah god
Ok, funny story for everyone that I found to be my "life hack" for a trip to DC for a week. This could work for both men or woman. Guys, it's time to step out of your "possible" comfort zone and do a little acting on this one.
The hotel I stayed at was the Beacon Hotel which was nicely located among "Embassy Row" and a mile walk into everything with 11 stories. Back story, my buddy's wife is a Hotel Manager and friends with my wife. During our dinner conversation she said her straight male counter clerks often gave room upgrades to the cute, solo female travelers. She said, "You know woman, they flirt and almost get anything they want if they're good.". I'm a cop and yeah, this was a banter because .....yes I let a couple ladies off for speeding and single guys would CLEARLY understand why!!
The guy behind the counter was CLEARLY gay as some men are in that industry. As I was checking in I just thought "why not see if I could work this a little to see if I can get an upgrade. Works for woman, why not men?
I checked in real late from the flight with a smile and a cute little smirk and commented on how nice he looked and that his tie was "smashing". I then asked what cologne he was wearing then said "smells inviting" with a cute little smile. Come on guys, if you aren't flirting with woman like that then you have no game. For a moment, just convince your mind you are talking to a hot babe.
He was flattered I guess as he said after going into the computer for a bit longer, "here's our room, enjoy your stay." Then he freakin winked at me!! WTH???
I left the counter thinking "WHAT THE FUCK did I just do?? I'm going to have a gay stalker for a week!
When I got in the elevator I looked at my ticket and I realized this wasn't the room I reserved and that this was on the 11th floor.
I get to the room and open the door to the freakin Penthouse that had a 12x14 living area with a HUGE big screen TV, a bathroom with a hot tub etc. The little kitchen separated the living area to the sleeping area that had 6 foot glass windows with a view of the White House off in the distance. Not bad for a little acting. And lucky for me, he never joined me for a drink at the bar. And NO, I wasn't wearing my ring. Don't worry, the reason for that was all work related.
What website did you use for the time and dates for flights?
Im definitely going back to this when I travel
