]]> From packing to passing through security and eventually finding your gate, the airport can be a stressful place, especially if flying is daunting for you. Here is your guide to making your airport experience as stress-free and pleasant as possible.

Secure Your Logistics Ahead of Time

Before you even get to the airport, arranging transport can be stressful. Make sure to arrange ahead of time for a family member or friend to take you and, if you intend to use a taxi, then pre-book once a few hours before you need it so you don’t have to deal with any last-minute stress. Also, double-check bus and train times if you intend to take public transport.

Get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry (if traveling through US)

In order to go through security quicker, get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. This way, you won’t have to unpack your bags or remove your shoes at security checkpoints. Also, your line will be faster to get through, affording you more time to do other tasks.

Keep Your Documents in a Secure but Accessible Place

As you pass through the regular airport procedure, you’ll need to produce documents such as your passport and your air ticket. As a result, you should make sure to keep all of your documents in an easily accessible place in your bag so that you don’t waste time fumbling around for them. Still, make sure they are secure so you don’t lose them.

]]> Going on vacation can be exciting. Still, this feeling of joy can quickly fade when you’ve disembarked from your flight, headed to baggage collection as your bag just doesn’t seem to arrive. Still, you don’t have to feel helpless when you’re in this situation. Here is what you can do if your baggage is missing or delayed.

Report It

When you received your boarding pass, you would have also received a baggage tag to verify that you handed your luggage in. The first thing you should do is report your missing bag to the information desk as well as your airline. Many airlines have a desk at the baggage claim area where you can file a Property Irregularity Report (PIR).

Know Your Rights

If your bags cannot be recovered, it’s important to understand that your airline will be liable to compensate you for any reasonable expenses arising from this issue. This could include buying supplies such as toiletries during the time that your baggage is missing.

Claim Your Coverage

Although the airline is liable to compensate you for your missing items if they are not recovered, then the one qualifying factor is that the expenses must be “reasonable.” Make sure to assess how much your expenses may be so that you know exactly how much you are owed.

]]> From remembering your passport and other documents to ensuring your baggage is checked in and looking for your boarding gate, the airport can be a challenging place to navigate. Fortunately, with some witty tips, you can make your airport experience smoother than ever. Here is how you can make traveling as easy as possible.

Check In Online

With advancements in technology, online check-in has become a standard activity for all airlines. If you have no need to check in baggage at the counter, then checking in online before you arrive at the airport will speed up your airport process, allowing you to proceed to security without standing in the check-in line.

Research The Airport

Make sure to check out a map of the airport before you depart so that you know exactly where to go when you arrive. If there is no map available, then check on the airport’s website where the terminal is that you require as well as landmarks that may help you find the right place.

Arrive Early

While it may seem obvious, arriving at the airport earlier than required will greatly help you to feel at ease. After all, having little time to do numerous important tasks and potentially missing your flight would cause plenty of stress. By arriving earlier, you’ll be able to complete everything you need to do and maybe even enjoy a nice meal in the food court before boarding your flight.

]]> Leaving an airport after returning from a trip can often be a stressful experience. The arrivals sections of airport terminals are usually crowded with cars and cabs, making it a challenge to get to your ride and leave fast enough. Luckily, there is a simple solution for this.

TikTok user @onegirlwandering recently shared a genius hack that will help you leave the airport faster than usual. She calls it her “airport secret” and claims it works most of the time.

According to the TikToker, you should tell your ride to pick you up at the departures section instead of the arrivals section.

“Come to the departures level if the arrival level is completely slammed with cars because then the person who’s picking you up can get up here with no issues, and they don’t have to wait in line,” @onegirlwandering shared in her now-viral video that got 1.1 million views since being published in July.

When you think about it, the hack actually makes a lot of sense. The departures section is usually a lot less crowded since it is rare for large groups of travelers to arrive at the same time for a flight. On the other hand, the arrivals section gets packed really quickly since all travelers who just landed want to leave the airport at the same time.

]]> Navigating airports can be an exhilarating experience, filled with anticipation and excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. However, amidst the hustle and bustle, one of the biggest concerns for travelers is the fear of losing their baggage. Losing your luggage can quickly turn a dream vacation into a nightmare, but fear not, fellow wanderers. We have compiled a comprehensive guide on how to safeguard your baggage in the airport.

Choose the Right Suitcase

Begin by choosing a sturdy and easily identifiable suitcase. Opt for a distinctive color or add personalized tags and accessories to make it stand out from the crowd. This simple step can greatly reduce the chances of your luggage being mistakenly taken by another traveler.

Label Your Bags Properly

Attach clear and durable luggage tags with your name, contact information, and destination details. This will enable airport staff to quickly identify and return your luggage in case of any mishaps.

Double Check

Always double-check that the airline staff attaches the correct destination tag to each of your bags. It’s crucial to verify that the tag matches your travel itinerary to avoid any mix-ups along the way.

Be Vigilant

As you make your way through the airport, keep a close eye on your belongings. Never leave your bags unattended, even for a moment. Utilize luggage carts or carry-on bags with wheels to ease the burden and ensure that you have full control of your belongings at all times.

Act Swiftly

In the unfortunate event that your luggage does go missing, act swiftly and report the incident to the airline’s lost and found department. Provide them with detailed descriptions and any identifying features of your bags. Most airlines have sophisticated tracking systems that can help locate and retrieve your belongings as quickly as possible.

However, airport lounges are a nice way to make your wait time a little better with their comfy chairs, free snacks, and free drinks. Here are some tips that will help you get access to them.

Sign Up for Frequent Flier Programs

The best way to get access to lounges is simply by flying a lot and reaching an elite status within your frequent flyer program. Choose one airline and stick with it when you travel if you want to get the best perks, including lounge access.

Buy One-Time Access

Are you a non-frequent flyer and looking to splurge on one of your trips? If so, buying one-time airport lounge access is a good option for you. Check the airport’s website for deals on one-time passes that will allow you to make yourself at home in a comfortable lounge.

Credit Card Benefits

There are plenty of credit card programs that include access to airport lounges as part of their perks. There are also traveler-centric credit cards like Capital One’s Venture Miles Rewards Cards that will help you earn access by contributing to your frequent flyer miles.

]]> When was the last time you had a long layover at the airport? It is never fun to have to wait for hours between flights, and if you do so in the middle of a long, arduous journey, sometimes there is nothing you want to do more than just sleep.

Fortunately, there is a new trend which is beginning to sweep through airports all over the world: sleep pods!

While it is impractical to put hotel rooms inside most airport terminals and doesn’t make sense for customers to rent rooms for layovers during the day that last several hours, sleep pods can fill a crucial need for those who want to rest during a reduced period of time.

Airports around the world have begun to see companies install sleep pods, which are essentially a special “capsule” in which travelers are afforded privacy, darkness, and a place to rest.

Usually available for rental by the hour, some time in a sleep pod can be a very worthwhile investment if you need to take a nap and catch up on a bit or energy while waiting for your next flight.

You’ll be surprised at how comfortable they are and how easy they are to use despite how strange they appear at first glance!

Would you be willing to give a sleep pod a try on your next long layover?

]]> If you’ve got a tight connection between your flights, getting to your gate as soon as possible is extremely important. Here’s a couple of tricks you can use to shorten the time it takes to get from one gate to another.

Front Seats

If your layover is extremely short, make sure to book the seats in the front during your first flight. In case you’re sitting in the back, inform one of the flight attendants of your situation and see if they can help you out.

Online Check-In

Don’t waste any time in check-in line by checking in online before reaching the airport, and upload the boarding pass to your phone because it makes everything so much easier.

Traveling Light

Try to pack everything you need inside a carry-on, and you’ll save a lot of time by not checking a bag, especially if you have to pick it up during your layover.

Have a Plan

If you already know your connection is tight, take some time to familiarize yourself with the airport before getting there. Download the airport map, plan the best way to get from one point to another, and see how much time it’s going to take.

]]> When you’re flying to New York, you have three main options for airports: Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK. Though they each have their benefits, it is still pretty pricy to get in and out of the airports and into the city. If you’re planning a trip to New York and you want to find out the best ways to get from your airport into the city, this is the guide for you.

Airtrain

If you’re flying from Newark or JFK, you can take an AirTrain, which will drop you off in different parts of the city depending on which airport you’re coming from. The tickets range from about $7-$12, so it’s definitely the cheapest option. However, you then have to take a bus or subway to your final destination, which can be a hassle.

Airport Shuttle

There a few good airport shuttle companies like Go Airlink that you can seriously trust and are a great deal. The tickets per person are about $25, but you get dropped right at your exact location which is convenient and lets you worry less. Also, if you’re flying in LaGuardia, this is probably the best option for you since there is no direct bus or train from Manhattan to the airport.

]]> If you’ve got a tight connection between your flights, getting to your gate as soon as possible is extremely important. Here’s a couple of tricks you can use to shorten the time it takes to get from one gate to another.

Front Seats

If your layover is extremely short, make sure to book the seats in the front during your first flight. In case you’re sitting in the back, inform one of the flight attendants of your situation and see if they can help you out.

Online Check-In

Don’t waste any time in check-in line by checking in online before reaching the airport, and upload the boarding pass to your phone because it makes everything so much easier.

Traveling Light

Try to pack everything you need inside a carry-on, and you’ll save a lot of time by not checking a bag, especially if you have to pick it up during your layover.

Have a Plan

If you already know your connection is tight, take some time to familiarize yourself with the airport before getting there. Download the airport map, plan the best way to get from one point to another, and see how much time it’s going to take.

]]> When you’re flying to New York, you have three main options for airports: Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK. Though they each have their benefits, it is still pretty pricy to get in and out of the airports and into the city. If you’re planning a trip to New York and you want to find out the best ways to get from your airport into the city, this is the guide for you.

Airtrain

If you’re flying from Newark or JFK, you can take an AirTrain, which will drop you off in different parts of the city depending on which airport you’re coming from. The tickets range from about $7-$12, so it’s definitely the cheapest option. However, you then have to take a bus or subway to your final destination, which can be a hassle.

Airport Shuttle

There a few good airport shuttle companies like Go Airlink that you can seriously trust and are a great deal. The tickets per person are about $25, but you get dropped right at your exact location which is convenient and lets you worry less. Also, if you’re flying in LaGuardia, this is probably the best option for you since there is no direct bus or train from Manhattan to the airport.
