    On my Travel Tips by Laurie Channel I'm sharing seven helpful tips if this is your first time flying in an airplane. If you have never flown before, you will feel at ease after hearing these 7 helpful tips. These travel expert tips will help your first flight be successful and smooth as you see the ticketing agent first when you walk in the airport. I'll show you how to walk through security with the right amount of liquids in your bag for the TSA. You will have your ID or passport and travel documents ready and easily accessible. You will hear tips about rearranging your items when you are through security and on to your airplane boarding area. Take your time because you are prepared to go through the airport smoothly for your first flight.

    Awesome tips!!! Especially about having your documents ready. If I may, here's a couple more tips. ALWAYS go to the bathroom before boarding. Even if you don't have to go, try. Airplane lavatories are claustrophobic and not always clean. Also, don't assume that smaller airports will have faster security. For example, our home airport is BNA (Nashville) which is a medium sized airport and even way early in the morning, security is backed up. On the other hand, for example, LAS (Las Vegas) early in the morning has super fast security and you would think it would take forever to get through, but it doesn't. Always stick to the 2 hour arrival before your flight rule. It's worth sitting around at the gate doing nothing than it is rushing and missing your flight.

    My favorite tip: Wear two pairs of socks to the airport. Good/new socks close to your skin. Very, very, old socks over the good ones. After Security . . . and walking on airport floor . . . toss old socks and put shoes back on over good socks!!

    I would really discourage people from wearing boots or any type of heavy shoe in the airport. Due to one unfortunate event, I had to stand for 4 hours wearing the shoes that I arrived in. Fortunately, they were a new pair of Sketchers that I highly recommend. There was much running through the airport also. I would advise people to wear their best athletic shoe in anticipation of unplanned activity.

      Especially if your getting a connecting flight at DFW or Laguardia. It seems they purposefully put the connecting flights' gates at least a half mile apart. I remember setting the world's record for the mile at DFW airport when I only had ten minutes to get to my gate, and they WILL not let you on once that plane door closes. Hint: practice your running skills and wear comfortable shoes..

    You are such a lovely, helpful lady. My name is Jolien. I'm from Belgium. I'm not sure how much our security rules differ but I do feel like I have more insight now on what's about to happen if I go on a plane for the first time and that's really great. I don't think that my friend who wants to travel with me would've thought to warn me about the stress level of the security guards and the passengers but to me that's very important information because I'm autistic and I need to do what I can to avoid having a meltdown. I do believe I have control in this. It's all in my head. It is important for me to create the best understanding in my head and to know why certain things are happening such as the people expressing frustration to me: It is of utmost importance that I keep in mind that it's not personal. Because if I go in that direction of thinking that's where the anxiety will kick in and that's where it'll only get worse for me and probably for the people around me as well, because I can't function if I get an anxiety attack. I will collapse in tears and not be able to hear anyone or anything but the chaos in my head and the probability of people at the airport understanding and respecting me and my situation is very low. I will have to warn my friend that it can happen and if it happens, I'm terribly sorry but I have to find somewhere as peaceful and quiet as possible to come down fro the anxiety attack and collect myself. But I can avoid that. I need to reason why negative things will happen. Why the security guards and passengers will express frustration. If nobody can tell me otherwise, I will reason that the airport is a busy place for travelers to get off on the airplane. I will reason that the people working at the airport will never be able to manage the amount of passengers thoroughly enough to make it a nice, relaxing experience because the crowd is too big. I will also reason that it's not supposed to be a nice, relaxing experience. I will reason that the nice, relaxing experience is supposed to be at my destination so that will motivate me to get through the noise and the crowds. I will reason that the only thing that I have to pay attention to is staying the course. Keep up with my friend, cut through the noise and the crowd, explain to my friend that I'm experiencing over-stimulation and that I want her to speak up right into my ear to get her message across, maybe tell the same thing to the security guards.. and just endure it. I have to endure it. I have to keep in mind that it's not personal. I have to keep in mind that it'll pass. Very important. I need practical readiness, mental readiness and motivation to get me through it. And that is it.

    Thank you Laurie! I have flown several times with my family but never alone. I am taking a trip soon and I have to take a short flight from Los Angeles to Sacramento CA. I am totally freaked out because I am afraid I wont know where to find ticket counter, TSA line, my boarding gate or where to find my luggage once I get off the plane. I have never had to pay attention to these details. I feel like an idiot! Also, I am nervous about not having a ticket printed and trying to screen shot it! Your video has been very helpful. I think I need to watch it again to ease my anxiety.

    • @TravelTipsbyLaurie
      @TravelTipsbyLaurie  Před 6 lety +13

      Leslie, you are going to do great because you are not too scared to ask for help. Will you check a suitcase or use a carryon suitcase? If you check one, you have to stand in line but can talk to the ticketing agent for your airline. If you want, you could go to your airline's ticket counter; they usually have representatives in the line helping answer questions. Start by saying that you're nervous and want to walk through where to go with her. That may help. If you check in online, you will then be emailed a boarding pass. That's what I take a pic of just in case I can't get to my email. But there's an option most likely to print your boarding pass from home. When you go through security, you'll see those huge tvs that will tell you what gate you're at. When you get to your gate, you can ask questions too. Good luck and remember you will never see those people again so don't be in a hurry.

      Laurie you are an angel! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I got on the plane without having a nervous breakdown. Before I even entered the airport I was able to check in my luggage and the attendant even printed out my boarding pass ( I wish I had given him a tip.) My daughter showed me around so I would know just what to do next time I fly alone too

    Hi. I have not flown in over 15 years. I'm anxious. It's comforting to know that it's obviously a very normal feeling to have. Your direct explanation of pretty much everything I will encounter has helped a lot.
    My one question is will my daily purse ( medium sized) be allowed into my back pack or is it considered another bag? Do I have to empty my purse and carry it as luggage and load my empty purse at my destination? All my concerns will then be addressed.
    I'm even going to order that easy to wear top u wore. lol

    I need this cause I’m planning on flying to Japan from California in the future, and my biggest fear is just that it’s my first flight. My mind thinks in extremes when I get nervous, so if there’s any turbulence, I immediately think that the plane is going down. And I know I’m safer flying in a plane than driving a car, but I just can’t get over the thought of “what if the flight I’m on is that one flight that disappears or crashes”. Any advice to help me keep calm during any flight?

      I would tell the flight attendant as you walk on the plane and see if y'all can talk to the pilot. Remember, they do not want to fly unless it is safe as well. I would recommend not drinking alot of coffee before; coffee is fine to drink just not a ton so he doesn't have to go to the restroom very often.

    • @laurastr1
      @laurastr1 Před 5 lety

      LauriePOP Yes, you are correct, I was able to leave my cell phone in my carry-on tote bag. However, I flunked going through security at O’Hare. I had nothing on me at all and did not pass the body scanner test and I had to have a pat down. My tote bag was also pulled and inspected. The second time they put it through it was fine. None of this phased me and I took it in stride. Monday I fly out of Portland back to Chicago, so it will be interesting to see how security goes on this end.

    Great suggestions here!! but I have a concern about you wearing leggings on the airplane with half legs uncover. Not a good choice here. Do you know that sometimes spider, or other kind of insects on a not good maintenance plane , could crawl in your legs and you could risk yourself of getting a bite and as a consequence, having a leg Infection , if not taking care of it properly .? It’s always a good safe suggestion to wear long pants on the plane and long socks for protection. My humble opinion here. I enjoy your recommendations very much. Thank you.

I've only ever been inside an airport once and that was when I took my gf to get on her plane back to her house. I didn't go any farther than just the commons area (or whatever it's called), so I never went through security. Hopefully by then I'll be more prepared for what happens.
