once when I was 13 I was flying to New Mexico alone. They messed up my flight so I freaked out a bit, and started crying so they let me sit in 1st class free. Moral of the story.... cry.

Who else is traveling, so they are watching all these airplane videos?

tips I have heard is when you are going through security; you should do this 1. go to the left one - since most people are right handed we go to the right side 2. avoid queues with babies - their parent(s) most likely will be bringing formula and it will have to be checked. 3. queue where it seems to be more business people i.e wearing suits - they are more used to going through security and the line may move faster

going to the airport 3 hours before the flight is too much? my mom makes us go to the airport 6 hours early and even though we're that early she keeps stressing out on how late we are 😂

travel hacks 1) check in inline 2) choose a seat close to the front of the plane 3) if you order a special meal to get food first. you will have to miss a certain food group 4) pack snacks 5) dont buy a black bag 6) take a picture of your bag 7) 4 wheeled suitcases are always better than 2 wheeled suitcases 8) bring an empty water bottle 9) dress in layers to take of or put on clothes if needed 10) dont get angry if something bad happens, get sad 11) get lounge access 12) sit outside of a lounge for free wifi 13) you never need to be at an airport 3 hrs early ( unless it is an huge ,busy and international airport ) 14) if you are late for a flight then tell somebody 15) ask your fellow travellers if you can go in front of them in the line 16) dont be scared to ask airline staff for anything you need

Lol i work in an airport and people yell at me so often!! I appreciate you saying not to do that. It really doesn't get anybody anywhere...

Anyone else have a trip in like 3 months and are starting to watch airplane hacks

THIS IS EVERYTHING. I'm a flight attendant and absolutely agree with all of these!! Following these hacks will make flying sooo much more enjoyable for everyone! travelers and cabin crew included ;)

I always tie a ribbon to identify my luggage ✌

To be completely honest I expected the hacks to be lame standard things (sorry just been disappointed by click bait titles on websites too much) BUT these hacks are actually awesome!!! You go gurl, thanks👌🏻

For me, I'd rather go to the airport 3 hours ahead (or 3.5 - 4 hours ahead if it's a busy airport) just to make allowances for if something happens when I'm traveling to the airport and other unexpected things that may not allow me to board quickly. (eg traffic jams/someone in front of the line being a jerk to the airline counter staff/security/etc) If nothing happens and if I still have time, I'd usually kill time by walking around after I've checked in and cleared customs and exploring the place-perhaps even getting a bite to eat or a souvenir. (and of course, visiting the toilets) I'd only start heading towards the boarding lounge about an hour to 45 mins (this may take about half an hour at most but I'd like to make an allowance for if I get lost or something) for my flight. I dunno man... I'm probably the kind of weirdo who believes that even the airport in itself is kind of a tourist attraction...

Who else is watching these travel tip videos and not traveling for a long time.

I remember you Nadine, from 2007! We used to the MySpace friends and you were a genuine nice person, always leaving me comments on my wall (Was it called a wall? I don´t remember!)..look where you are now! So happy I re-discovered you. Hugs from Vienna.

These were some great tips, and I work as a Gate agent for a major airline at the airport. Believe me, we see a LOT of crazy stuff through-out our day, so I'll share a few of my "hacks". 1. Repeating what she said, but being nice to the airport agents during a delay/cancellation will make a world of difference. During these irregular operations we prepare for yelling & lots of angry people. So imagine our surprise when a friendly face walks up & says "I know you guys hate it when the flights delay. It's not your fault the weather is bad/mechanial occured...etc." We LOVE this! And...we have a LOT of power regarding what we can & can not do. Now, with this being said, the majority of us are on your side, so we want to help you in every way we can. BUT, this does not mean we can/will bump you to first class, give you several hundereds of dollers in vouchers, etc because you shed some tears. We have limits, but we can do quite a bit, so instead of demanding first class or vouchers, be kind & patient & usually the agent will offer them. Also, when a delay/cancellation occurs, use the airline app to LOOK at alternate options, The app can rebook you, but it can't give you any compensation like an agent can, and sometimes, doesn't come up with the best/quickest option for you. Most gate agents will allow passengers to line up during a delay. If you have a good gate agent, they will likely make an announcement for you to stay seated & allow him/her to work through the connections. This givses the agent the ability to book a passenger that is going to (insert city) on a flight that is leaving shortly, where they would have most likely missed that opportunity if they were waiting in a long line. Also, have a few alternate airports for the agent to look at. This can come in handy if it is a small city with a limited number of flights per day. We will often give ground transportation to your destination depending on the number of milage.2. I usually recommend getting to the airport 2+ hours prior to your flight time. You can never predict traffic/long lines at TSA, problems with check-in, etc. The more time you allow yourself, the less stressed you will be. Also, getting to the airport sometimes gives you an opportunity to get on an earlier flight. I work in a small airport & often try to move folks who are there to get them to their connecting city a little earlier just in case something goes wrong. Even on good weather days, we can never predict a mechanical cancellation or oversell, so we like to help us by helping you on to the earlier flight (usually free of charge!).3. If you are a frequent traveler, get to know the agents that work for the airline you travel on most. I see some people every week when they are flying out. They stop by & chat (if I'm not too busy) and most I know by name. This can help on days during irregular opperations, I have called/emailed some of my frequent travellers to advise them of a delay & rebooking options even before they've gotten to the airport. Hope some of these help!

*gets at the airport 7 hours early* Dad: WE ARE NOT GONNA MAKE IT

Thank youuuuu for those not so RU-vidy hacks that I've seen a million times.These are tips that actually help and aren't concerned just about how stylish you can look when you're travelling.Also I've been late once for a flight and I asked the people in line before me to let me through and they all kindly did.People are generally kind and helpful if you ask politely.

Great advice. I am now a month in on traveling a year in Europe and am super excited to use some of these hacks. Thanks:) I just subscribed and can't wait for more Vids. -Ash

I have all the airlines' apps. Just before boarding, I check the seat map and change my seat to a row with an empty middle seat. It's nice to have the extra elbow room when editing on my laptop.

"there's no need to be in the airport 3 hours before a flight, trust me... I your flight is about to board or already boarding and you're still on the security line, ask the rest of the people to let you go first..." And I can't help to wonder if getting at the airport 3 hours before the flight is better than bothering other people or airport workers 😂

So, we don't have to be there early, but then your next tip is about cutting through the security line because you don't have enough time? Like, maybe just get there earlier, and then not have this problem? Lol

I put a huge Pom Pom on my bag to identify it lol

bring an extention cord that has a lot of plugs and make friends by letting them use the plugs. ☺

I love your channel, Nadine! A tip I always recommend is to get behind business people in security lines rather than families that are less experienced with traveling. Love from Toronto!!! :)

I've been travelling including flying for over 50 years, and this is the best travel advice I've heard (or given, trust me; I've been there, no matter where that is) anywhere in the world.

Airplanes have power outlets.... huh... never knew

You remind me of Meredith Foster for some reason... your mannerisms, the way you talk, it seems so much like her! Trust me, this is a good thing. =) New subscriber just making an observation.

I guess that's why Delta changed my flight when I missed it. I cried. It was a really bad day already and missing my flight just made me cry and they fixed it for me haha

Love Love LOVE this video it was so helpful! Please can you do more of these style videos, they're great!

currently, you need to be at the airport at least 3 hours early for all flights going out of ohare in Chicago!

Kindness and Patience goes a long way everywhere. Good Advice! Awesome stuff.

This was so helpful!! I'm graduating from high school in the beginning of june and my best friend and I are going to be traveling all around Europe and this gave me so many helpful tips that I now feel safe flying just me and her! Thank you so much

I'm loving Australia at the mo'! Sydney to Melbourne, busiest airline route on Earth. You need to be checked in 30 minutes before your flight, then walk through security to your gate. Personalising your suitcase is the best advice. Fluoro tag, spray paint- whatever. One courtesy I find lacking at airports is luggage collection. Don't stand and wait beside the conveyer belt. It makes it hard for people to quickly grab their bag and haul it off. If everyone is two steps back they all can step forward to get their things without needing others to step aside.

I work for airlines, pls spread this message.Getting mad and cursing people doesn't make them want to help. It can even get u banned from airline.

*4 wheel suitcases are better*.. cough.. except on uneven surfaces and when they aren't a good bag and the wheels get jammed.. I have always had better experience with 2 wheel bags.

I should be sleeping because i've got to wake up in less than 4 hours because I'm going to Zimbabwe but instead I'm still awake, here.. ehehh! Great tips though! :)

I also work at the airport and I totally agree! People scream and yell at the agents and say rude unnecessary comments but if you remain calm and pleasing, I guarantee you will get 100x better results.

wow! thanks for these tips! i'm 17 and i'm flying (across the country) alone for the first time in about a month here. super nervous, but you've definitely helped me to chill out. thanks, nadine!!

Don't try and sympathize with airline staff. Just be real, tell us what's going on and done. I don't want to hear/see you cry. Also ticket counter and gate agents can do the exact same thing. Also if you're late...TSA does not care if you're late. If you're in a big city...plan to be to the airport 3 hours ahead of time. Back to airline explanations...Bringing a manager out or lead will only be them explains what the agent just told you in dummy terms. Basically don't be annoying entitled or terrible. We will want to help you and possibly go the extra mile. DONT ACT ENTITLED

Wow I’m rewatching this again to refresh my memory and I have no regrets! I just booked my summer 2021 solo tour trip to Italy, France and Spain!

Great advice ! I have worked at several airports for over 10 years and this is all true . Please don't be afraid to ask airport employees for assistance as we know all the shortcuts and ( VERY IMPORTANT !! ) if we can't help you will most likely know someone who can. But if you find yourself in a trying situation ( delays, flight canceled, running late, airline fees ), do not take your frustration out on us as it will lead you nowhere.

Hack: Buy a bright color duct tape and tape an X on your bag. It's sure to make it stand out.

Just a heads up - you said that spinner (4 wheel) suitcases were ALWAYS better than an upright (2 wheel) suitcase. That is not entirely true. Spinners are best for flat surfaces such as airports and hotels. But if you are traveling on cobblestones or rocks you want an upright. Why? because a spinner will get caught in the grooves of the rocks and cobblestones where the uprights will bounce across them. So choose your wheels based on how often you will deal with rough surfaces. Spinners will have to be carried over the rough surfaces and if you overpacked that could be a lot to lift.

If you book with an online company like Travelosity or Orbitz, ALWAYS go to the airline's website afterwards to reserve your seat because the online company sometimes fails to transmit that info to the airline.

Hey Nadine, Thanks for the tips and tricks. Like you, I always carry an empty water bottle through security. Here's a related tip: The night before I travel, I freeze a water bottle half full of water. This is allowable through security, since it is not a liquid or gel. Of course, if any of the ice has melted, I drink it before going through security. Once through security, I fill the bottle at the water fountain and then have ice cold water for several hours. I carry the empty water bottle also for three reasons: 1) in case my ice was ever confiscated (and I think it was confiscated once when returning to the U.S. from overseas, but never through domestic security, as they know ice is allowable), 2) to have some extra water on the flight, as some domestic carriers (e.g., Allegiant) don't provide any free drinks (not even water) on the flight, 3) to have some water when I arrive (as some of the countries I've traveled to don't have water fountains with safe drinking water at their airports).

If you sit at the back of a plane your chances of survival in a plane crash are higher

Great video! except for safety reasons I would stay further back in the plane for easier access to the exit doors. It's definitely worth 5-10 minutes!

The overbooking of the flight happened to me TODAY I have a flight tomorrow that’s why I’m watching right now

I work for an airline and used to be one of the customer service leads, so when things got delayed or cancelled I'd have to deal with an insane amount of irate people. You're SO right in saying that yelling doesn't do anything and that being nice actually works in your benefit. We would purposely go the extra mile for those who treated us with respect and courtesy, being nice definitely helps :D

Maybe you wouldn't have to cut in security lines for your already boarding plane or find shortcuts to get to your gate if you actually came the recommended 3 hours before? Haha just a thought(:

Why are you so helpful ? LOVEEEEE all of your videos !!

I went to go to America and one persons planes was bording and has just yelled 'hey everyone my planes boarding' and everyone let him through. GUYS THIS TOTALLY WORKS

I usually fly business class these days unless it's something like an hour and half flight. By going business on long haul flights one gets the benefit of lounge access, which also has showers, plenty snacks, meals, cakes and pastries laid out as well as premium alcoholic drinks and champagne! up to date magazines news papers and tv - usually they are tunes to the news channels. The reception staff also let you know when your flight is boarding. One also gets priority boarding, once seated your offered something to drink, like fruit juice or champagne before take off! One also gets a separate checkin desk and priority fast track through departures. For the past several years we (my husband ) have been flying long haul from Scotland to family in San Francisco and Melbourne sometimes doing it all as part of a round the world trip. When there are several refuelling stops or changing planes again there is the lounge access which really helps if your feeling in need of a shower to freshen up. The lounge access is for which ever airline we are travelling on, Emirates are the best lounges and staff. These lounges are different to the ones you can pay to have access to, these tend to be quite basic and only really let you spend around 2 hours in them! I also don't recall any having shower access either. Once you get to boarding your flight you can ask if there is any chance of an upgrade? This has worked for me in the past. As Nadine said always be polite with staff never loose your temper or take your frustration out on them. Just ask yourself if someone shouted at you - would you go out of your way to help ? the answer I'm sure is NO. One of the best travel tips I can give is invest in a pair of compression knee high socks as they will help not only to prevent a DVT but swelling ankles and lower legs. If you've ever been in hospital and had surgery you ay of been given a pair of anti-embolic stockings to wear for your surgery, if you were permitted to keep them use these during your flight. If you do find your on a long haul flight and don't have any of these sock types and your feet and ankles are swelling up, get up and walk about a bit, use the toilet, sit on the toilet lid and put your feet up on the door making sure your feet are above hip level, sit like this for a few minutes but only do this when there isn't a line of people waiting for the toilets. Certain countries will ask you to declare things your taking into their country. For example Australia will want to know about any food your taking into the country, tell the truth, you may be given the all clear to keep it. Don't lie as it can cause you a large financial find and or possibly denied access into the country.

Could you do a video just on flyer miles and all that goes with that topic?

also it might not be a good idea to not be 3 hours before or the time the airline asks you to be, since when they overbook or when they are just being asses sometimes they'll argue you weren't there "x hours before the flight" :O, it has happened to me

Will be flying internationally with my sons first time soon and so these tips were really really helpful!!

I used to be a travel agent and one idea (or hack) that I have is instead of bringing your bag to the airport and struggling with it all the way. Get a Fed Ex account and 1 day prior to your trip call Fed Ex to pick up your luggage and have them deliver them to your final destination (the destination where you are going after arriving at the airport)(eg. hotel, your family's house, youth hostel,etc) and prepare a tote bag with gym attire like sweats etc and another bag with snacks so during the flight you can nibble on whatever you desire. When you arrive at the airport the next day after you sent your luggage-you will go through security like butter cause you don't have any luggage weighing you down and when you arrive at your destination all you have to do is if your airport and your hotel/family's home/youth hostel have a transit line taking you there, then take it and you won't be laden with luggage. By the time you arrive at your destination (hotel/family's home/youth hostel) your luggage should be waiting for you there and the only weight lifting you will do on this trip is bringing your waiting luggage to your room within the building so you don't need to bother with sidewalks and any outside problems (hills/etc). In a hotel, the staff could possibly have your luggage in your predetermined room ready and maybe if you're going to stay at a posh hotel with butlers-they could be instructed to unpack your luggage in your predetermined room. When you check in the front desk would give you your key card and tell you where your room is and low and behold after you open your door all your stuff will be hung up and folded in your drawers-with this HACK your vacation begins immediately as you wouldn't be spending the time unpacking. Now when you return home, you just do the opposite and again if you are in a posh hotel with butler service, have your butler launder all your used clothes and have them pack you luggage a day prior to your departure and call Fed Ex to pick up your luggage and instruct them where in your home they should leave them- again when you arrive at your home airport all you have to concern yourself is transportation getting home. When you arrive back home your luggage is waiting for you and you can open your luggage and all your clothes will be clean and neat and you wouldn't need to do any laundry. I got this idea when I worked at the California Mart in Downtown Los Angeles (the west coast fashion wholesale building). The wholesalers would Fed Ex their baggage a day prior to going to their different shows and they just bill Fed Ex using their accounts and this saves them the aggravation of luggage at the airport. With this idea you leave the airplane and airport fairly quickly since you don't have a huge luggage to deal with.

What's the difference in price between economy and premium economy class??

I was at LAX and a French family was about to miss their connection from to Tahiti, their flight from Paris was delayed they requested the staff for help they refused, then they had to ask their way forward some of them just told the family to ask the person in front i.e. me and well I gave the way thinking I myself had 2 other connections

Grt tip on ordering "special meals!". LOL yes the black bag! Carrying empty water bottle is not only genius, makes so much sense!!!

Flying for the fist time tommorow! Going to niagra falls (Canadian side), Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Washington DC! From Florida and I'm 13!! So excited

The empty water bottle hack is amazing! Along with many others you've listed. I'll definitely remember them. Thanks :)

Travelling next weekend so this was very helpful, thanks Nadine!

Whenever I travel, I have a cabin bag filled with all my stuff (mostly taken up by camera gear + laptop), but I make sure to pack an almost empty fabric bag for after I've gone through security. That way I can just pack all the stuff I've had to take off/out and carry on my shoulder, and don't have to stop and re-pack everything before heading to my gate. I also carry a small purse with passport and travel documents, but that usually ends up inside the fabric bag. The fabric one is also where I keep all the things I need access to on the actual flight. Any handbags/purses I need are either packed in checked in bags or in the cabin bag, as they aren't always ideal for packing for a hand-luggage.

I always go for the front row seats because sometimes it has more legroom! And I always pre-order meals online because it's cheaper & they always serve pre-booked meals first during the flight. Also, if you already have a black bag, use your creativity & decorate it a little! I use those coloured luggage tags (you can buy it at an airport or stationary store) & also sometimes I tie coloured shoe laces on the handle of the bag. :)

just found your channel! loved this video. Was wondering if you had any top suggestions for places to backpack to perspective backpackers

If you aren't a US citizen and you're travelling to the US you may get to the airport 3 hours before, might be more...

Thank you so much!! You helped me out A LOT. Most people say boring stuff but you really helped me out. Thank you! Given Love

My Go-to airplane outfit is a comfortable hoodie and some matching sweatpants along with some warm shoes. It makes me feel like I’m in my bed.

l can attest to the connection flight squeeze..coming from London to Miami l had to land at JFK to get my connecting flight onward's..l was standing in line to check passports when l asked how long l had to get to my connecting flight..she assisted me to jump to the front of the que and through, headed out to the domestic terminal only to discover a very long line to check in there..l went straight to information who told me go to another walk through which in turn got me to miss all the shit and make my flight...it pays to ask and be polite...

Biggest tip of all- arrive early, especially with busy airports,

this is so much much more helpful than I expected! Thank you so much Nadine, I'll be sure to employ some of these (like the seat placing in terms of tight flight connections and plugs, and the no-black bag).

I'm traveling soon and I've been watching a lot of these types of videos. But this was by far the best one. I liked how the tips were kind of like obvious but helpful because honestly I usually forget the obvious. But the fact that she used stories to prove the point was working and I'll definitely use some of these great tips!

If you are going though Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta Georgia I would get there 3 hours early at the very least. If I was doing an international flight though that airport I would get there even earlier then that. I use to live near Atlanta and that airport can get crazy busy! And not to mention the traffic you could get stuck on the way to the airport, can't forget about that! Also if your going though this airport use the tram subway system they have to get from terminal to terminal. Makes life a lot easier! Also I have a black suit case. It's a nice one that was given to me. How would recommend to make it stand out?

great tips

I'm flying from England to Sydney in 6 hours to spend a month backpacking the East Coast! Thanks for the tips!

I have anxiety and panic disorder and this video really helped me. I have to go on a flight tomorrow by myself and I'm trying to avoid a panic attack. Although that might help because apparently crying helps. Now time to go take a picture of my bag because it's black.

Hahaha don't get mad get sad. I love that.

No one should be in the position to be in a hurry to get to their flight.

Download the airline's app. You can usually get hate change updates and even track your bag. It's also useful to check in into your connecting flight if you have one.

You gave me an idea! Personalise the luggage! Black suitcase are yet the most common but other colours are massive too, so we can sew something or paint them with acrylic or spray or anything that makes our suitcase unique and different. I think I’m gonna paint my pink suitcase to make it really special

I usually go 3.5-4 hours before bc I leave around a 1 hour to get to the airport and finding a parking spot takes around 15 min

Never (!) buy a 4-wheeled suitcase! 4-wheeled suitcases are very comfortable as long as you're in an airport. As soon as you leave the airport and get on a road or side walk with bad surface (like London) or in a pretty medieval town with copplestone roads 4-wheeled suitcases with their tiny wheels are a nightmare! Buy 2-wheeled suitcases with inlineskate wheels - they have soft rubber wheels with bigger diameter (much biger that the 4-wheeled versions).

I recently traveled internationally and learned a few tips while there, don’t know if these are common knowledge but thought I would share in case I’m wrong! 1) use the bathroom BEFORE meals are passed out. Even if you don’t need to go, you will most likely have to after your meal, and so will everyone else. Planes also typically announce when meals will be passed out, so people will be more reluctant to use the bathroom thirty minutes before a meal, which means you get the bathrooms to yourself! 2) it’s also important to use the bathroom before lights out if you’re flying over night, no one wants to have to wake up the stranger next to them to pee! 3) WARM SOCKS. If you bring ANYTHING on a plane to keep you warm bring the thickest socks you have, maybe even two. Planes get freezing, especially the floor and it is not easy to sleep with ice for feet! 4) Look for empty isles. I’ve tried this one out and it works, it’s always a good idea to ask a flight attendant before switching to a free isle, but most of the time they don’t mind if you just go ahead and sit there. A much more restful sleep awaits 5) the most important thing I’ve learned on my travels is to make friends with those around you, especially when traveling solo. I could not tell you how many times I got confused or needed help on my first flight solo. If I hadn’t communicated and made friends with strangers I wouldn’t have made one of my flights as they figured out that I was in the wrong customs line and helped me flag down an employee! This is especially helpful during international travel, as many travelers speak the native language of the country you are in and can ask questions for you if you don’t speak the language. Strangers can be surprisingly helpful on trips, as most are in the same position as you or are experienced travelers that are happy to help you on your way. Don’t be shy!

Im traveling ALOT, going between 2 countries all the time. And I have to say having matching carryon and chekin suitcase will be super easy the day my luggage disappears. I have matching because it was sale but I love them because they stand out color vise.

story time: last night I was watching this video on my MacBook Air and it made me laugh. when I did, the cup of water I was holding spilled all over the keyboard and it's broken for good. yay.

Hahaha sometime people sit in the flight and still live in a scary doubt and ask the person sitting next if the flight is going to their desired destination......haha just tell them no 😂😂😂😂😂 and they will get all scared and blue...

I find that most people aren't willing to do most of these things because traveling is more of rare occurrence and these great tips are for more experienced travelers. Thanks for sharing!

If you're late for a flight that's about to board/is boarding, airport staff isn't likely to help unless you have a connecting flight or other reasons that were faults of the airport. I've heard on numerous occasions airport staff tell people they should have gotten to the airport earlier. So unless you have legitimate proof chances are they won't help. Of course there are exceptions but it's not likely. So get to your flights early!

Never have I ever had so much headache from an airline as I have with Delta. Also United is the most uncomfortable option. My suggestion is if you're flying to China pick Air China. If you're flying international do not choose Delta. If you're flying domestic in North America, avoid United and Delta!

Not a single airline here has plugs, unless you are travelling for 8+ hours. Nor do they let you pick/change a seat if you don't pay extra for it. No meals either, you have to order and pay for it yourself.

Another travel hack, plan your trip to arrive at your connecting airport around midnight or later. Arrived at Dubai (separate from the other trip I told you about) Arrived at Dubai, less than an hour to make my connecting flight, and three or more terminals away. Customs guy walked me from his desk to the trains, and to my terminal. Flight was closing, but made it. Just.

Wow. Learned so much from this video. I've probably flown about 15-20 times and never used most of these! Thanks.

going on my first flight after 5-6 years on the 22nd of May. way too excited but extremely sad too at the fact that I'm only going for four days😓 but I try to keep myself positive because at least I'm going! also, if you live in turkey can you please tell me some nice tourist attractions in Istanbul? and even if you don't live there but know a bit about the places in Istanbul, please help me out! I need to visit as many places as I can in the four days that I'll be there for! thanks a lot xx

We always get black bags and hair attach a ribbon to it--- our friends with nice brightly colored bags ALWAYS GOT THEM STOLEN

Don't forget about paying attention to the PA system 'cause you never know when they decided to change the departure gates for your flight. This happened to me once in Singapore. I wasn't in any hurry that time but if I hadn't paid attention I might not have known about it and would have had a higher chance of missing my flight. Also if the security at that other gate didn't know about the changes, you could tell them you heard it on the PA system and they would check it out. One other thing, once the announcement is made, make sure you get to that other gate in plenty of time, just in case security didn't know about it.

Your videos are SO HELPFUL!! I'm going on my first big trip (solo) in less than a month and your videos are so awesome!

I'm 13 and I'm going on an international flight by myself and I'm kinda freaking out😬does anyone have any advice??

Still the cutest youtuber ever

I was in line in Athens to go through customs and my connecting flight was already boarding. Everyone in line (20+ people) let me jump in front so I wouldn't miss my flight. I was so thankful that it brought me to tears!!!
