Airport Hacks

Even if you're not traveling first class on your #vacation, these great tips will keep you comfy 36,000 miles high.

1. Dress Comfortable. At the very least, wear comfortable shoes. You are waiting at the airport 2 hours prior to your flight takeoff, then your actual flight, and finally the travel from your arriving airport to your hotel. That's assuming there are no mishaps with your flight such as a delayed flight, overbooked seats (happens quite often!), missed flights. It can be a really long journey so better to be comfy.

2. Copies of your documents. If you're ever a victim of pick pocketing or losing your wallet, YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF! It's also important to screenshot your flight itinerary and hotel reservation info. In the event that there is no internet access, having screenshots of flights, hotel confirmation, tour reservation/confirmation, etc. can makes things so stress free. And it's easier than carrying around all these paper printouts.

3. Buy a portable charger. It is a complete lifesaver! They can be plugged into the wall outlets or USB port in your computer to charge...super easy!

4. Never pay for water at the airport. Things have gotten very strict lately with liquids at the airport. A bottle with a liquid is an absolute no! It's just not getting through security. Instead, bring an empty water bottle with you to the airport and refill it after you've passed security. Most airports now have those super cool filtered water stations and IT'S FREE! Another plus, it saves you a lot of money by not buying over priced water bottles at the gift shops or coffee shops in the airport.
