However, we recommend at least learning a few phrases in a country’s native language if you are set to travel there. Not only does it show that you are interested in the place’s culture, but it also demonstrates respect and friendliness. Commit yourself to at least learning these phrases in the language of whatever place you are going to travel to!

“Hello!”

The simplest world to learn in any language is “hello,” so you should take the time to learn how to at least greet someone in their native tongue. This will endear you to waiters and waitresses, shopkeepers, and people that you meet passing on the street.

“Goodbye!”

If you have learned how to say “hello” in a language, why not learn how to say “goodbye?” While the majority of your conversation with someone might take place in English, if you at least greet yourself and bid farewell in their native tongue, you will score major points.

“Do you speak English?”

Not all people that you come across will speak English while traveling, which is why it’s important to learn how to ask people if they speak English in their native language. That way, if a person doesn’t speak your language, they will not feel embarrassed or ashamed when asked if they can communicate in English.

Many a-day at the airport have been ruined by long wait times, rude security staff, and rules that just don’t make any sense.

Here are four tips that will help you get through airport security faster.

Get Behind Business Travelers

One easy hack for getting through security fast is to find the line with the most business travelers. These people tend to be more used to going through security and thus get through the line more quickly than families, for example.

Keep Your Electronics Accessible

In this day and age, you usually need to take out larger electronics such as laptops and tablets to get through security. Keep them in an accessible place to expedite the process.

Pack Your Liquids in a Transparent Bag

Liquids shouldn’t be thrown into your bag willy-nilly if you want to go quickly. Security scans usually ask for these liquids to be packed together in a plastic bag to facilitate the process.

Keep Calm

Finally, don’t panic! You’re more likely to forget to remove something or make a mistake if you’re stressed. Keeping calm will make your security experience way better.

However, over-packing can lead to an overly stuffed and heavy bag, and sometimes even takes up space for things that truly are necessary!

Here are four common items that are packed in luggage but should really be left at home.

Too Many Shoes

While it might be tempting to pack a pair of shoes for every possible occasion on your trip, the truth is that shoes are heavy and take up lots of space. Limit yourself to the basics and the pair or pairs that are truly needed.

Shampoo and Body Wash

There’s really no reason to pack these shower essentials when traveling. Unless you’re staying in a bare-bones hostel, these things will probably be provided by wherever you’ll be staying.

Extra Jackets

If you are traveling to a place that will require a jacket, keep it simple and don’t pack too many. For example, traveling to Russia in the winter is probably only going to require a heavy jacket, so why overpack with a light one?

Towels

The same thing that goes for shampoo and body wash, goes for towels. There’s no need to pack them if your accommodations are going to provide them!

Even though there are more and more carriers offering budget prices for international flights, it’s also easy to end up spending a lot of money if you fall into their traps.

What’s the use of being a discount $100 ticket if you end up spending lots of money at the airport and on the plane itself? Here are some hacks for avoiding this fate.

Pack Food for the Flight

Instead of getting robbed by expensive airport food or, even worse, low-quality but high-priced on-board fare, bring food with you. Any solid foods can be taken through security without a problem, making it easy to save a few bucks.

Bring Your Own Entertainment

Why spend $15 on in-flight Wifi when you can bring a tablet with pre-downloaded movies or a book with you? You should never pay to surf the web or to watch movies on a plane.

Don’t Check a Bag

Checking a bag is so 1995. These days, it’s easy to fit everything you need for a trip into carry-on luggage, which is almost always free. Checking a bag often costs money, so be sure to avoid it unless it’s truly necessary.

Don’t Worry About Extras

Don’t spend money for a seat next to the window or to be the first one to board the plane. You’ll get to your destination either way, and it’s silly to spend money on these premium “extras.”
