  8. I was able to go ahead & pick my seat this week for my 10/2026 London flight(s). My biggest fear is that my seat wont buckle due to my size. Do most airlines have extensions?

  9. The meal hack is just an additional perk. I still need a survival pack in case something unexpected happens.

    Also, tracksuits with undergarments are there for a reason (among with additional woll items). But there is a problem with using a thermos. It doesn't have a water filter. You need a Brita bottle with a changable filter to ensure water is fresh.

    And yes, a liner is the way to go.

  11. Wanted to tell everyone – DO NOT bring a thermos type container!!! 😮

    The last few times I was travelling I watched TSA confiscate EVERY double walled container people had with them.

    There reason?? The scanner can’t see through both walls. 😮

    Also, NEVER ever drink water that isn’t in a bottle.
    Not coffee not tea. Nothing!! 😮

    It comes from the planes holding tanks that haven’t been cleaned properly since the plane was built! 😮

  13. I was on a very cold flight . I asked the flight attendant for a blanket but they no longer have them The attendant let me use her flight jacket. Otherwise I would have froze!

  18. Nevèr ever understood why people have to be difficult: 1st to order specisl meal, remember were riding in a metal tube where space is tight, im diabetic ear whats on the menu on long hauls, believe me yiu wont die, am still kicking.WOW N LOL❤❤❤❤

  19. Just to clarify the scenario about choosing a seat for free during online check-in, passengers must only be able to choose from any available seats, right? Otherwise, passengers who have chosen seats at the time they purchased their tickets potentially could be booted out. I certainly hope that is not the case, especially for passengers who paid to choose their seats! It even stinks for passengers who were able to choose their seats “for feee” because now they have no guarantee that they will have the seats they wanted.

    If my understanding is correct, then waiting to choose a seat during online check-in is a gamble because the flight might be full?

    Second, why would passengers ever pay for seats if they know they can choose seats for free during online check-in? I suppose it comes down to whether or not they want to take the gamble of finding a seat (going back to my second point).

    Please let me know if my thoughts are correct. If not, please clear up any confusion. Thank you.

  20. 😂 It's not a bulge. That actually supports the head if it's comfortable for you. The reverse neck pillow doesn't work for everyone. So, not genius, if you ask me. Uncomfortable.

  21. I keep my shaving kit in my carry-on, because there's no way I'm doing a 12 hour international flight without brushing my teeth after meals. I also carry flushable wipes in case airline food doesn't agree with me. Nothing is worse than having stomach distress from airline food with nothing but airline TP to clean up with. Other than that, I carry cheap orange foam earplugs, because they do the best job of shutting out all of the engine noise and the screaming children, which always seem to be within 20 feet of me on flights. Lastly, don't waste money on specialized neck pillows, go get a $10-$15 foam cervical collar (like for neck injuries). It immobilizes your head completely so it not only prevents it from falling backwards better than those overpriced $50 neck pillows, but also to the side and forward, and it helps keep your mouth from gaping wide open when you're asleep.

  25. TRTL! I absolutely adore my Trtl neck “pillow”- so much so that so have three of them. They are versatile, comfy, and take up relatively little space in my personal item bag.

  26. One thing I found useful and I will never travel without it is a short 6-8" 3 outlet power strip. Most power adapters have very stiff non bendable blades on the plug. Most airline sockets are so loose they usually fall out or don't make enough contact to charge, so the strip comes in handy to stay in the plug and also gives you a extra outlet or 2 if there are only 2 plugs in your row.

  27. I’ve done hundreds of economy flights over my life time. I’m now at that age where economy no longer suites my body 😔 I’m about to do a 21 hour flight & have paid the extra to go PE for that little bit of extra comfort. I have struggled with flying over the years & I’m not looking forward to my next flight. The body is full of aches & pains already 🤦‍♀️ Try putting your phone in an open glasses case.

  30. Makes me never want to fly again. Look how different from years back. You took a bag, went to the airport, got a ticket at the counter, walked straight out to the plane and off you went. Simple!! Now, most of the trip is planning, prep, gizmos, expense, headaches. Not much room left for fun which was the point.

  32. 07:05 I just use a separate device like a tablet or bring a book on board. But from my experience in long flights, sleeping it out is often the best option. 🤣😂 Thanks for the video!

  38. I love aviation and looking out the window. I hate flying a long flight when everyone closes the window. It is so uncomfortable. It is utterly impossible to fall asleep, even overnight.

  41. My inflight bag is also a tray cover. It has a large pocket that accomdates my tablet. Also 3 smaller pickets. I clip my headphone case to it too. I just take it from my carry on and slip it over the tray table. Everything is in easy reach this way.
    Take an insulated water bottle. You can take ice through security, or buy a cup of ice after security. Mist airports have filtered water fillers at the water fountains

  43. On long flights I always wear noise cancelling headphones. It definitely makes a difference as I feel less tired when I get there.

  44. I used to fly with my mum on BOAC when there was no screens for entertainment, no headphones and kids were taken up to meet the captain and crew and were issued a cute hard covered booklet to stamp. I got colouring books and colours and even toys and puzzles the “While "steward" and "stewardess" were historically used to refer to flight attendants, the modern, gender-neutral term is "flight attendant" dotted on the kids. Simpler times and it was lovely. Ohh no special meals and unlimited snacks and drinks. Everyone was polite and curious. It was enjoyable back then now not at all…
