Now that it seems as the world is opening up again this can only mean more travels. There are several things I have seen in the airport that make me cringe and feel bad for the traveler. All I could think is, if only that person had this or knew that. So in hopes to help you not be that person at the airport lets I will be sharing tips and items that have made my travel experience enjoyable.
+ Download the apps
Downloading the app of the airlines you will be traveling with before your trip. By doing so you will see what waiting area you are in, if you have to change terminals, which terminal you arrive at, track your checked bags, upgrade, view available entertainment, airport map, choose seat and delay notifications. It also allows to easily check in with your phone so no need to stop at the airline register if you are not checking in bags. Having the app is life changer.
Other apps to download: gogoentertainment for FREE movies/games etc. Disney+ /Netflix etc allow you to download episodes/movies and later watch when no internet is available.
+ Get a Passport Holder
I have seen people dig through their purse to find needed documents holding everyone up. Keeping everything you need in one place saves you so much unneeded stress. I organize everything in a travel holder. I bought one, years ago from Aldo and it is the best purchase. Like this one, or this one, or even this one (click the link).
I keep my passport, Maye's passport, travel credit card, my ID, vaccination cards, cash in the currency of the place we are traveling to and USD. I also keep a copy of our passports in case we were to loose one. When we did our Europe travel I kept the itinerary there for easy access along with luggage requirements per airline as it differ.
Last but not least PLEASE, put a PEN or two inside of the holder. I can not tell you how many times people would be in immigration/customs holding up lines because they did not fill out their papers due to no pens. Airlines do not always have them; usually never so be proactive. I always carry an extra one because people always ask me to borrow one. I love this fine point pens as the customs forms are tiny, and it has a clip.
