I have found the worst thing about flying economy is flying economy
😂😂
Yep.
Lack of leg room and personal space is my biggest pet peeve.
Yes that is the downside economy for sure!
Take two aspirin at the start of your travel day. The aspirin will help to prevent blood clots from forming and alleviate minor aches and pains before they start. Also, I bring saline nasal spray. It helps me to deal with the dry airplane air.
Thanks for sharing and watching!❤️
May I strongly suggest not putting your valuables (money belt) in the front pocket. This is super niche, but most accidents are during take-off and landing (and most people survive), and if you have to evacuate it will make a huge difference if you have your passport, cards, phone on your person. Also, anything in the front pocket can be forgotten, stolen or get dirty. But the rest are great tips.
EXACTLY!
I keep my necessary stuff like my passport and money on me, attached, so that if ANYTHING happens, I am not slowed down looking for things, nor am I ever going to be that person who prevents a safe evacuation by bringing their damned luggage with them on the slide!
The seats are too small width wise, and too close together.
The worst thing about economy is that it's not business class. 😊
Lysol wipes and snacks
Puts the money belt in the seat back pocket… Me: NOOOooOO!😬 Just use a body bag and snap it around the arm/s of the tray table (after disinfecting everything you’re likely to touch, including tray table arms, of course). When you’re going to the loo, take your bag with you.
I take these with me on the flight:
1 - Therm-a-Rest lumbar travel pillow, I don't always need to use it but some seats don't have much lower back support. It's compact after all the air are out.
2 - Listerine pocketpaks fresh breath strips instead of brushing my teeth inflight, don't want to use their water to rinse.
3 - Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, I don't have makeup to remove but the wipe cleans my face without drying and it's individually wrapped, doesn't take up any room.
Ohhh no no no. The whole purpose of wearing a money belt is to keep it on your body AT ALL TIMES, including on the aircraft. If you remove it and stick it in the seatback pocket in front of you, you're risking forgetting it at the end of your flight, as well as having someone reaching over and stealing it while you're sleeping. The rest of your suggestions are great but this one is a HUGE no-no. If it's uncomfortable to wear it because it presses into you, loosen the belt and push it up a little higher above where the seat belt sits. Or go into the bathroom and loose the strap enough so that you can wear it crossbody style under your T-shirt. But whatever you do, DO NOT remove your money belt! Dude, seriously.
Carry a resealable silicone sac to hold that money belt in before you put it in the back pocket to keep it clean. Permanently tape a ribbon to that sac and hang it over the edge of the seat pocket to remind you it's there.
I don’t use a toothbrush and paste inflight because they keep saying the restroom water isn’t potable. So to brush your teeth you have to take bottled water with you to the restroom. On the plane I use Wisps (or equivalent brand)-tiny individual toothbrushes with a dab of paste built in. I always try for reusable things but this is one of the few disposable exceptions that’s worth it.
it's fine, its not like India or something. Just relax, brush your teeth with the sink water. If people were getting that sick they'd do something about it
Absolutely must have Immodium AD in that pill kit. I was in Iraq with my unit back in 2004 and my body decided it wanted to do an untimely release as we're in convoy. Had a fellow soldier not handed me the Immodium, it would have been horrifying not only for me but my driver as well. 😮
This is a great one! Thanks for sharing❤️
@thetravelcoaches let's just say it's a lesson I'm glad "stuck" with me. 🤣
I bring a tennis ball in my bag. They work great to relieve pressure points or "knots" (massage therapist trick).
That is awesome, thanks for sharing❤️
I always bring a couple of snacks with me.
The worst thing on flights is sick people coughing, sneezing and doing everything the can to get me sick too.
I take a small garbage bag or even like a Walmart bag and put it in the seat pocket it front of me. Several uses, if I get sick (rarely but it has happened), you can slip your things you need on the flight, like earphones, or iPad or whatever so it’s easy to reach and you don’t have to expose your items to the funky seat backs and finally I put my garbage from snacks, Kleenex etc into it and throw it away on my way out
Awesome thanks for sharing❤️
I’ve started using a gallon reusable ziplock bag for this. Everything I think I might need during the flight is in the bag.
@@laritaskipper7686 I’ve used those too
The seats and the other passengers who talk loudly.😊😊
I prefer a thin silicon bag instead of a hard case for medication, so I can keep the tablets inside their sachets if I cut off a few tablets at a time. That way I can prove to security the name and dosage, I can check the expiry date before each trip and keep them sanitary. I also never travel without hydralite sachets, multivitamins or earplugs.
Thanks for sharing!❤️
I use a silicone bag as well. I remove blister pack pills from the cardboard box, flatten the box because of dosage info and staple the blister-pack to the flattened box. This especially works well for little used items like cold and flu pills and anti diarrhea medication.
I always bring ear plugs to help with the pressure from takeoff and landing . Benadryl is great for overnight flights for sleeping too. I have never heard of toothbrushes being provided by the airline-American Airlines definitely doesn’t provide them for economy class passengers 😂
I tried one of those collapsible water bottles, they're horrible. Yes, the fold up easily, But once you fill them up, they won't stand up on their own so they take up so much more table space by lying flat, you can't slip them into a side pocket of a bag while you have water still in them, etc. I literally threw mine away in the airport as useless ...
Yeah, they are not the most user-friendly. There are for sure some better options on the market. I really just still carry the one I have because of how easy it is to pack away! Thanks for watching❤️
I assumed so, he’s the 2nd CZcamsr to recommend it, but the main thing that I thought when I first saw it was that it would be difficult to clean properly 🤷🏻♀️I like my Yeti, easy to fill, clean, and fits in the side of my travel backpack 😊
I have had one for years. It does fit in the side of bags in the pocket. Mine stands up wheen it has water in it. Plus it has a hook to easily attach to a pac or bag. I think you must have got a bad brand.
@@jaimetarne9436 There are different collapsible ones. The one shown , which is recommended, will not standup. If you don't have a way to hang it off a clip, you'll have to hold onto it in your hands, or empty it - it will not stand up like a regular bottle in a side pocket, leaving your hands free.
Yep, gave mine away. I just went back to a regular empty water bottle and fill it at the water stations or get water from plane attendant. I just make sure it fits in the side pocket of my backpack. It was one travel hack I tried and was a fail for me.
I usually need more legroom in economy, so I usually pay for an exit row, or upgrade to premium if it’s a long flight.
Yes to all your suggestions (although the collapsible water bottle was a messy fail for me). The worst part of flying economy is the PAIN from being cramped. I take ibuprofen before every flight, do seat exercises, try to walk the aisles as much as possible, etc. with minimal relief. I truly feel for larger people (I'm 5'2" & 100 lbs) and wonder how they stand it! The airlines are shameless in their pursuit of profit over basic passenger comfort! P.S. I would never put my valuables in the seat pocket due to questionable bacteria plus theft risk. I wear a (no velcro) neck wallet tucked under my shirt/sweater and it is so comfortable that it stays on the whole flight.
Thanks for watching!❤️ and the detailed comment!
i bring a long scarf so that I can make a hammock foot rest by tying it to the tray table. Works wonders for my short legs.
couple things - (1) charging cables (to use with the power bank ) (2) I would not recommend visine. Refresh or Systane would be better for your eyes (for the long haul) and lastly, (3) disinfecting wipes, (4) hand sanitizer (small bottles, and lastly, seriously (5) wearing depends. sometimes the wait for the restroom can be unpredictably long.
The worst thing about flying economy is the lack of room. I'm 6'-1" and 250 pounds (muscle, not fat). We always try to upgrade when we can afford it but we don't let that stop us from traveling!!
I would add Imodium and Benadryl (or generic equivalents of each) to your medicine pack. Vomiting is bad enough, but you really don't want to be running to the toilet every 5 minutes, especially when there is likely to be a line. Also, you may not know of any allergies, but that doesn't mean you don't have any. Having something to help you if you need it can be a life saver, sometimes quite literally.
Flight complaints: #1 legroom, #2 using the lav is just awkward on a plane.
Plusses: crossbody bag is great for keeping essentials convenient and for comfort. As for moneybelt, I like the pouch style that has belt loops and then just flips under your pants. No strap around you.
Instead of collapsible bottles I prefer an insulated mug so my drink stays hot/cold a long time. A space sacrifice that's often worth it.
You have good tips/hacks. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing❤️
My Mom and I are leaving for Vietnam, early Sunday morning. This was the perfect time to make this video.
Have a great trip to Vietnam, thanks for watching❤️
@thetravelcoaches You're welcome! I am having a great time and will continue to!
I have a slim power bank that fits in my lil electronics case that has a flashlight built in and an attachable book light. Also remember to not pack power banks in your checked bags.
Great reminder for people! Thanks for watching!
Careful about putting your money belt in the seat pocket. First of all, that seat pocket is filthy. Ever seen it being sanitized? Think about what people put there. I put the items I want to have handy in a silicone bag and then placing it in the seat pocket. Easy to wipe off!
Also, if you don’t know your seat mate, that money belt could be tempting. I hate to say that, but I actually found someone in my purse when I woke up during a long haul flight.
I really enjoyed your tips! I already have the Airfly in my cart!
Nice work man keep it up 🙏🏻✊🏻
Thanks for watching ❤️
Your supposed to wear the compression socks during the flight not after...
I always pack contact solution and a case so I can take my contacts out and chill in my glasses and then put them back in right before we land
You should also bring some Neosporin. What you do is you put some in your noise, keeping it moist and not dry on your flight. Game changer. As well as some nasal spray.
@MKPisblessed
I use Vaseline instead. A couple of years ago I had nasal surgery to correct a deviated septum and that’s what the Doctor told me to use. I’’ Not telling you that your way is wrong, just another other option should you ever need one.
@@purplemavthanks for the info.!! I had heard about using Vaseline but was cautious since I have nose issues - I had polyps removed etc. So its good to know a Dr. suggested this to you, so its not just an online wives tale. 😉
I also appreciate how you stated you were not discounting the other person’s idea (very classy), you were merely adding another option.
Thanks for sharing❤️
@@purplemav thank you. I will definitely try both options
Try pocket size Vaseline or Aquaphor; it is harmless for the nasal passages. Neosporan is a triple antibiotic, so in your nasal passages, which is a fast route to the bloodstream, your natural essential bacteria that protect you are neutralized. But the idea to coat them is good, just use something plainer. 13:12 😅
7:12 Me too! 😂 Last time they rejected my hubbys tooth paste!
Thank you for your time and posting. Off to Vietnam in October to see if I want to retire there. I'm tall, I'm already stuffed in there, then the seat back in front of me comes down. But only on US Airlines.
Vietnam is amazing!! I hope you have a wonderful trip. Thanks for watching
Be mindful, when traveling internationally, about just putting over-the-counter medicine in a little pill case. Countries have different laws about what drugs are legal to bring in -- for example, Japan doesn't allow some decongestants you can get OTC in the U.S. Also, if any of them are prescription, it's very important to either keep it in the original prescription bottle with the label on it, or carry the prescription with you (if you don't want to carry a bunch of pill bottles, you could carefully remove the prescription label and stick it on a small ziploc bag, but if so, carry the prescription from the doctor). Even if it's just a minor thing, customs agents in your arriving country can use it as an excuse to pull you aside into an interview room and start going through everything, including your social media accounts on your phone (and trust me, this happens to foreigners coming into the U.S. as well as Americans going overseas).
I love flying allegiant. I'm a veteran so I get any and all bags free, but I do carryon only. I get preboarding and free seat choice. I'm sure I'm missing some benefits, but if you are a veteran, I highly recommend allegiant. 🎉
That is great to know, thanks so much for sharing and watching our video❤️
I feel like I’m the only one who just needs to have nothing on a flight. Water in long haul is great but otherwise I don’t need entertainment or whatever. Only have carry on and a light jacket
Substitute Advil PM for melatonin. Takes care of your aches and pains while making it easy to fall asleep. It just got me to and from Rome like a charm. Also, Gas-X to combat some of the meals they serve.
Thanks for sharing❤️
Great Tips but Shouldn’t the medicines be in original package?
That is a great point! Actually everything I pack in that little pill kit we also usually pack a in bigger version medicine kit. So if they did question I could point them to my more comprehensive medicine kit. I bring the small medicine kit for easy access while traveling. To be honest though I have never had any issues bringing those medicines through TSA. Thanks for watching and the great question. ❤️
Not if he plans on selling them as something else.
You can buy "first aid kit refill" it will have single dose medicines in little envelopes, which count as original packaging.
Be cautious which mess to take to particular countries. Eg. Def no melatonin to Bali
*Meds
I find the worse thing is not being able to get comfortable to sleep. I would love to be able to lay down. Sadly, being a mere peasant, that will never happen LOL. I just got some noise cancelling ear buds to try out on my flight to Europe in a few days. I tend to download things to watch on my iPad rather then use the entertainment system
When are they going to create something to put next to the headrest to stop the stranger next to you from leaning on you when they sleep and breathing their stinky breath on you?
On some headrest the sides will come out if you pull on them but not everyone is aware of this. They are always pushed back when the plane is reset before boarding.
Nasal spray and gum 😊
Would you link products you’re showing?
They should be linked in the description and in the pined comment! Let me know if you can find them. Thanks for watching our video❤️
Flying economy with a airline like Singapore is not an ordeal as they have great service and high standard. To fly Ryan Air or similar budget airline is not something I recommend. Make sure you got lounge access with Priority Pass or similar, it makes a great difference. As a Star Alliance Diamond member they tend to give me fringe benefits like fast lane, lounge access and higher luggage allowance even flying in economy class.
We love Singapore Air! Thanks for sharing and watching❤️
Always bring a bottle to have it filled up by flight attendants.
When do the Travel Coaches buffs come out??
Unbelievable idea!!!
@@thetravelcoachesI feel like no one sings the praises of the buffs more than the travel coaches!
The things i take are a body belt with cash in it, , a tablet, my phone and a charging cable. The rest i could not be bothered with.
Trust me - first class is a joke anymore. You still pay a premium for pretty much NOTHING. The seat back on the last flight had me in tears after the first hour of a six hour flight. I asked the FA for a pillow and he told me pillows were only for international flights. The food was completely inedible and they gave me the wrong meal. (No, I had not complained about anything - as a matter of fact, I gave all the FA's a nice lambskin bag with tip money and quarters for laundry, which I will never do again.) The seats did not have a footrest and I think that added to my legs losing circulation and my back killing me. It was like sitting on a park bench. Oh, and the "first class" bathroom. Everyone from the back kept using it and it was filthy and disgusting. On a flight years ago in economy I couldn't get into the bathroom and asked the FA if I could use the first class one (I was well dressed), and she said NO it was only for "first class." So, at least on American Airlines, don't waste your money. The ONLY "benefit" we got was we got onboard first. Whoo hoo.
I love gin gins
Worst thing about economy for me: close proximity to passengers with BO!🤢 I never travel without pack of tissues and a bottle of strong perfume just for this situation.
Don’t you need the package of the pills 💊? How do they know if that aren’t drugs when you are stopped by tsa?
Dude - FYI - the Amazon links for the AirFly and the Eye Mask are both the same (point to the AirFly) . . .
Thanks for catching my mistake ❤️
I am a small slender person & I feel strongly that the seats on economy are way too small...even for me! How can normal size adults even do it? I couldn't even get into the bag at my feet...it is INHUMANE & should not even be legal
The airfly is a genius idea!
Yes it is an awesome little piece of gear! Thanks for watching ❤️
Great video! But...Yikes! You put your "Must Haves" in the seat pocket? Where people put used diapers? And where my friend put his phone & forgot it in a groggy state after a long flight? Yikes!
The big peevvvv, when we have purchased bulk head seats, and people use it as a thoroughfare….we have paid for this space, and it drives me mad. So I put my bags, pillow and blanket it the space, to try and block them…
The worst thing about economy is we are a family of three so guess who always gets the middle seat?😂😂
Haha nobody likes the middle seat! Thanks for watching ❤️
The worst thing about flying economy is the loooooooong boarding process.
That is very true! Thanks for watching ❤️
My flying pet peeves: people who take their shoes off. It’s disgusting. The airplane is NOT your home. Keep your friggin shoes on. Nobody wants to smell your stinky feet. Also…people who don’t know how to walk down the aisle with their bags and luggage. Carry it either directly in front of you or behind it, not to your side. You carry it stuff to the side and you’re wacking people (namely me…I always sit on the aisle)in the head. Use your head people and be considerate of others.
Nothing new here
Highlighting ECONOMY in all your sentences is like flying ECONOMY is something frowned upon. I always look for your videos but this one gave me cringe ECONOMY. Bro we all almost always travel ECONOMY. No need to highlight ECONOMY.
Yeah. That drove me batshit.
I don’t use a toothbrush and paste inflight because they keep saying the restroom water isn’t potable. So to brush your teeth you have to take bottled water with you to the restroom. On the plane I use Wisps (or equivalent brand)-tiny individual toothbrushes with a dab of paste built in. I always try for reusable things but this is one of the few disposable exceptions that’s worth it.
Yeah I would avoid airplane water at all costs. The Wisps is a very good idea. Thanks for sharing❤️
Puts the money belt in the seat back pocket… Me: NOOOooOO!😬 Just use a body bag and snap it around the arm/s of the tray table (after disinfecting everything you’re likely to touch, including tray table arms, of course). When you’re going to the loo, take your bag with you.
