thumbs up leave me a comment introduce yourself tell me where you're going let
you know your questions or biggest fears the number one most helpful tip for a
first time traveler in an airplane would be to be prepared you are going to
research and know all these tips and all the rules for going on an airplane and
going through security in 2018 go to WWw.tsa.gov like I did it lists in the top
left corner what can I bring it lists for you all these objects and liquids
that you would be surprised that people have tried to bring on an airplane and
through security I stopped on page 28 and I was only in the letter N section
of their alphabetized list or what you can bring through security so part of
that is going to help you I also can recommend an app now that is called my
TSA in it you can ask an agent on Facebook Messenger or on Twitter my
question for the TSA was can I bring lipgloss in my bag or do I need to put
it in liquids container and they got back to
me 36 hours later and said yes it is considered a liquid now one of the rules
is the 3-1-1 rule that means that each container that's in your liquid bag
needs to be 3.4 ounces or less that means every container so this container
needs to be less than 3.4 ounces the only way you can transport these in your
through the security line is in a zipped quartz sized bag I love this one that
you can use the stand and fill ziplock bag any kind of ziplock bag that has a
zip top that is a quart size amount and it does say on their website that you
can only bring one of these bags I took two to Europe and they had to squish
everything into one bag but I've gotten away with it I don't know if I think it
depends on each TSA agent and the busyness and the stress in that Airport
at that time or how high the security alert is that day they change daily but
I don't care whatever keeps me safe I will not argue I am prepared and if
there are any kind of safety measures that they want to take I will not argue
with them because I want to be safe it's not their fault that we have to now
think about that when you are traveling you're gonna have a carryon bag
that goes under your airplane seat with you and you are going to have a suitcase
now for your carry-on bag you can use a backpack hand bag duffel bag anything
that is going to fit under the airplane seat or if it's too big you'll fit it
over head okay but you are only allowed to bags onto the airplane so I always
travel because we're airline employees I always travel with a carry-on suitcase
and that can fit in the big airplanes overhead bin or it can get checked last
minute and I always travel with only a backpack I sometimes will put a
inside here that I can use in my final destination that keeps my wallet and
little bitty things that I need my essentials really and I always carry all
medications essentials in my carry-on bag that will be on my person in the
airplane because they can get lost and you need that medication my number two
tip is to have your documents out for the ticketing agent you show up at the
airport with your two bags and then you are going to go to the ticketing agent
if you have to go to a ticketing agent to get your boarding pass when I give
you these helpful hints or helpful tips please don't think that I'm patronizing
you or talking down to you I'm helping you be prepared so that
you're a resourceful respectful citizen who is caring about the people who are
behind you in line you don't want to waste their time by not being prepared
so you would show up at an airport to check your large luggage that's gonna go
in the belly of the airplane you already have your ID or your travel documents
out for the agent you don't walk up to the desk counter and then say okay let
me look through my suitcase or backpack and find the right documents while you
are in line you are finding those documents and will have them ready for
the ticketing agent now you put take your time put everything away and you're
gonna go to the security line the third most important tip for traveling for the
first time is to keep those documents out and have them easily accessible I
always keep my driver's license ID in my backpack that I'm gonna have on the
airplane in my little bitty wallet that I'm gonna just keep in there and I've
never taken out until I want to buy a snack or a magazine when I go through
security I'm gonna use my passport as my ID
because when I'm done with it I can just throw it in here this outside pocket of
my suitcase and then get organized and I'll show you that in just a bit I'm
going to do a recreation of what it's like a positive experience for going
the airline security when you were walking towards the security line you
cannot even get into the security line unless you show them your ticket so I
just keep out my ticket that I got at the ticketing counter and you have to do
that or I've printed it out or it's on my phone and if you're scared about your
phone having wireless connection at the airport what I do is when I have my
phone and get my boarding pass I take a picture of it or a screen shot with my
phone so I thumb when it goes on the little circle part and then my finger
would click the one single button raised button that's on the side of your phone
and I would click those at the same time that that takes a screenshot of my
boarding pass or my ticket while you're walking through the security line then
you pull out your passport or your ID that is in this pocket on the outside
the easiest place you can find it because you don't want to take forever
looking for your ID and you can use the driver's license or passport now when
it's your turn to go to the nice or bad mood TSA agent checking IDs and your
ticket you will already have those documents out then you walk past him and
you have to kind of stand in line before it's time for you to put your backpack
up on the bag but you put your ID down in there where you have your liquids
also and now I'll show you how to put everything on the conveyor belt welcome
to my airport i videoed this in a different room on my dining room table /
ping pong table and it did not turn out right it was very fuzzy so I'm doing it
later in the day here on my hope chest that my dad made for me you have gone
through the security line showing your ID and boarding pass or your ticket now
you are up to the conveyor belt and it's your turn you unzipped your boots you're ready
to take those off or you've loosened your shoe strings and while you are in
line the boarding documents are in here right now you're ready for the conveyor
belt so you just reach in here easily take out your
liquids the Atlanta Airport makes you put even your suitcase in a bin and it's
not really convenient but you might have to do that you might not I always put my
the handle first so that when I get through security and
come over here I will just grab the handle on the front I don't have to go
to the back of my suitcase to grab my handle that's just an extra tip don't
let it overwhelm you and then I put my backpack down okay all right I did not
have to get wanded because I took off my shoes I'm not wearing any major jewelry
I pull up because I'm I don't want to stand here forever and repack everything
with everyone else waiting for this little bitty conveyor belt and the
not-so-nice TSA agent sometimes saying go go so I'm immediately putting my
liquids in my unzipped pocket on my suitcase and then I just grab my
backpack and remember about Passport and the liquids are in here my number four
tip for flying for the first time is to go through the security line grab your
bags and put everything together at a bench
that's right past security there are several benches outside of security in
every airport that I've ever been to and it's for you to rearrange then when I
get to the bench I can sit down put on my shoes because those are in the
bin with my liquids if I didn't say that so shoes and liquids both go and they're
saying then just so it's easier and you can just carry that bin because you're
hands-free and you can carry your suitcase your backpack is on your back
so we're at the bench putting on my shoes I am taking out my liquids and I'm
putting it into my backpack because they will leak some of these liquids will
leak if they are in the bottom of the airplane the belly of the airplane it's
different pressure now they're a little bit so I just will quickly throw those
my backpack and my passport if you don't keep your passport in your suitcase I
put my passport in my suitcase but I zip it in the inside pocket and then I zip
the outer pocket and so I am all organized now I'm ready to go to my
airplane I have another tip for you if it's your first time flying but I've
video that in another room the ping-pong table room I do want to say one thing
about when you are choosing a suitcase if you don't have one make sure you have
a handle on the top and on the left side if you are right-handed because when you
pick up your suitcase and you're gonna put it in above the seat of your
airplane seat you want that and what mom's suitcase has a handle up here and
on the right side of her suitcase if you're right-handed you don't want that
because your left hand is gonna be doing most of the lifting of the suitcase and
your right hand is just balancing it to help get it over into the overhead bins
above your airplane seat now I have a video about what's under my airplane
seat that you can click on you can click on these icons anytime during the video
and they will take you to that specific video for me going through the airport I
have a what not to wear video and today I just chose a long loose flowy dress
almost it's a tunic it goes way low like two inches below my fingertips and
I'm wearing leggings and little tenny shoes I can highly recommend all of
these I can give you links to these on Amazon but I love traveling like this
because I can dress up a tank like this I can throw on a little short sleeve
cardigan I can throw on a long sleeve cardigan a sweatshirt over this and be
totally relaxed it's a great item that I can recommend to you number five tip for
going through an airport is take your time you will not see those TSA agents
again even though they might get really mad at you that you're doing something
the wrong way or not fast enough you will never see those passengers who are
behind you or around you again but you are being respectful a respectful
citizen cares about their time as well as your
tum so you are being prepared by watching a fabulous YouTube video and
researching and doing your part but if something happens by accident it's okay
don't get flustered because that being in a rush and getting flustered makes
you forget things and do things in the wrong way or put your ID somewhere you
won't remember putting it I must tell you that I have flown for many years and
almost 100 flights or more and I still will forget to take off my belt
sometimes or either one time I was transferring I had half a water bottle
full and or empty I had a half empty water bottle in my
backpack and had to go through security and didn't remember so it happens to the
best of us the most avid travelers and it's okay
the number six to four going through the airport and flying for the first time is
to know that that plane boarding door is going to shut and you will not be able
to have them open it 20 minutes before your departure time so your plane is
leaving at 1:30 you need to be in the boarding area already lined up in your
Corral or line numbers where your seating section is 20 minutes before
it's supposed to even board like they start lining up really soon and I don't
know if I said this but the number 7 tip of flying is to make sure that you know
that your carry-on suitcase or carry-on big bag if they don't have enough
overhead space it will get checked into the belly of the airplane don't put
anything in there that could get lost or cannot have pressure now you have done
your research you are a respectful resourceful citizen an airplane flier
you are not a beginner anymore you know what to expect you know what to do now
you can just relax and have fun on your vacation before it even starts thank you
