Unfortunately, quite a few people. I've had it a number of times. And not just hair. Only last week the guy in front of me decided that his seat was a great place to drape his full-length raincoat over the back of his seat, blocking my video screen and dropping down to my knees. After a few times of me 'relocating' it over his head, he got the message! People are truly selfish and unaware/uncaring of others around them.

When I was 13 I used to chew gum at recess - if I forgot to spit it out, I’d wrap it in paper and put it at the corner of my desk to throw out. Once a girl sitting in front of me would NOT stop doing this and flipping her hair all over the work I was trying to do. I guess I didn’t wrap the gum up very well in the paper because a bit of gum was exposed and suddenly her hair got stuck to it. She didn’t notice for 20 mins and when she finally did I feigned ignorance 🤷‍♀️

30 Airport Hacks And Tips To Make Your Flight As Effortless As Possible I used to board 2-4 flights every week before COVID. Here are a few things:

1. If you can then arrive early.
2. Have 2 bags. The backpack should contain all the stuff you would like to be available at moment's notice during the flight. The bigger trolley should only be opened once you have deboarded
3. Stay away from the line that contains old people, kids, families. Queue up behind business travelers. There is an excellent scene in Up in The Air where Clooney profiles different kind of fliers. All of it is true.
4. Flight attendants have heard every single excuse for an upgrade. You can try but good luck. However, if you do get one than stop bragging about it. It might get them into trouble.
5. Flight attendants also like small gift like little bags of treats. If you are on a longer flight this is always an option to cheer someone up and make their day.
6. If you are frequent flier get a pair of noise canceling headphones.
7. Always check in as soon the window for check in opens. Usually 24 hours before the flight.
8. A small powerbank can make a world of difference.
9. The lounge is worth the money if you have a long layover or you are a frequent flier.
10. Always keep a small bag full of regular OTC medication you may need.

30 Airport Hacks And Tips To Make Your Flight As Effortless As Possible Always try to book an early flight. My father-in-law used to travel a lot and worked in an industry connected with the airlines. He said that the schedule board usually resets between 3 and 6 in the morning, so if there are late or cancelled flights causing a chain reaction in other areas that all tends to drop out of the system when it starts fresh the next day. I’ve never had a flight that left before 8 am that was noticeably late or canceled unless it just wasn’t safe to fly.

If you’re worried about making your connection, tell the flight attendants.

If they can, they’ll call ahead to let them know you’re coming, and will often let you get off the plane before everyone else and can often even tell you your connecting gate and the quickest way to get there.

Don’t just jump up and try to shove your way off the plane.

And with that, there’s an order to getting off the plane. Throwing all of your s**t into the aisle as soon as the plane lands and trying to shove your way past people is max going to get you off the plane 20 seconds faster and everyone will see you’re an a*****e.

30 Airport Hacks And Tips To Make Your Flight As Effortless As Possible I am an airline employee and have a few things that I see too often that people need to stop doing.

First and foremost, **put your name on your bag**

I can't stress this enough, this is a huge thing to make sure you get your bag. I work regionals sometimes and carry ons need to be gate checked, but at least a couple times a week, someone forgets to claim it. We have no idea who owns it without a name and just send it off to lost and found with what flight it came from and hope they claim it. Other times the bag tag may fall off, more than likely because of a damaged or worn bag. No name on it, off to lost and found it goes. But if there is a name, we can pull up your itinerary, print a new bag tag, send it in it's way **and you will never know!**

Only use backpacks or roller bags for your carry on. It will be easier for you to walk around, especially up to a mile, while if you use a duffel bag or something similar, you may have a hard time getting around, seen too many passengers dragging those things when they get tired.

Dress appropriately, especially shoes. You may be walking or even running up to a mile to catch your flight, do you think heels, dress shoes or flip flops are good for that? Also understand what the weather will be at your destination! I saw one passenger one time wearing a tank top and short shorts in December in Chicago. I kind of sympathized with her because at the time some of our regional gates didn't have jet bridges, meaning the passengers had to walk outside in the snow, but she was going to Green Bay, Wisconsin, not exactly a tropical location.

It might seem dirty to some folks, but I can literally walk forever in flipflops, weather be damned.
