00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.960 Y'all have y'all hands in some pretty serious bags. 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.319 Which is why we take a lot of trips. 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:17.279 Like, why you always gone? 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:18.399 Because I'm always doing something. 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:19.920 So I need that to keep my sanity. 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:21.439 Yes, sanity. 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:21.839 Yeah. 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.480 We're talking. 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.000 So I am very crasher. 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.680 Yeah, actually, I am going to take a real vacation in August. 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.319 Um sand in the feet, on feet in the sand. 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:38.079 Feet in the sand or someplace, uh someplace that requires another uh language where I'm sitting here with a with a book going. 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.800 So say that again slower so I can catch up to what you just said. 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.399 Which is a great thing. 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.000 But this segue's before we go into our main topic. 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:48.720 Absolutely. 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.560 But I was actually with one of me and Darien's mutual friends. 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.959 Um and we were talking about this because he he has gone on, I guess, a few of Darien's trips. 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.519 And Darien, from what I've been told, is not, oh, let's just go lay up on the beach for a few days. 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:13.600 Darien apparently has a whole itinerary of that makes sense. 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.680 I'm gonna pop my boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.720 This is why I do this. 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.480 Imagine going a 17-hour flight away to do nothing but sleep. 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:20.800 No. 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.519 Well, not sleeping. 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.800 No, we're gonna go out, we're gonna hit the clubs, another club, bus, another club, another bar. 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:27.839 We're gonna be walking out. 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:43.279 But no, I just want to make sure that when we go that far, that we are making the best of our time and seeing as much as we can, getting the photo ops, getting the club experiences, getting the museums, getting the beach experience, all the touristy stuff because we only be there for a short period of time, five, six days. 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.720 So you know how Europeans they go on vacation for two weeks. 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.759 We don't have that much time, so it's like we gotta get as much done. 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.839 But I also love to make sure that there's at least one free day to where you can do whatever you want to do. 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.439 You want to stay in the bed all day, you can. 00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.199 But yeah, my itineraries be lit. 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:08.399 And I think in those instances when you're traveling with groups, I think sometimes it feels like it lends towards the go, go, go, go, go. 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:08.800 Yeah. 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.040 Um however, years ago I did a seven-day uh cruise alone. 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.000 Ooh, that's nice. 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.040 Babe, when I tell you I loved, I woke up on my own schedule. 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.319 Yeah, I spent more money than I needed to because I went to that spa, that lady rubbed me down. 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.759 So good the first time, I went back the next day. 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.040 That's what a vacation is photo. 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.399 Spend your money on literally back. 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.800 It was I was on my own time on my own schedule. 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.199 And so that part was great. 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:51.519 However, when you do go with a big group, I guess it does make more sense to create those environments, experiences because later on, once we're older, you know, we have memories we can look back. 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:52.639 Oh, I did so and so. 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:58.240 And that's even a reason to hey, I talked to you in a few months, but you remember when I get that. 00:06:58.800 --> 00:06:59.120 Absolutely. 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.560 And it's just fun to have a good time when you go. 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.240 Why go if you're gonna land in bed? 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.519 You could just stay home and open up and open up social media, open up Google and do that, right? 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:10.319 Yeah. 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.720 So thank y'all for checking in with me. 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.639 I have I feel like I haven't seen y'all in forever. 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.959 So it's nice to catch up and find out what y'all are doing this summer. 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.079 Definitely. 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.519 Oh shoot, I could have put this. 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:25.920 So with our um starting topic, we gonna tell y'all how to travel and travel well. 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.800 Let's start with before you even leave the airport. 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.120 So you know you are going someplace. 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.279 What should you be doing differently? 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.519 So let's set you up for success. 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.680 We know we're going somewhere. 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:38.720 What do you need? 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.279 You need to check everybody's passport. 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.839 Don't be that person and go, Yeah, yeah, I got my passport. 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.079 When have you last last laid eyes on it? 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:54.639 You don't want to be the one to say, I don't know, and you look and you have four months left on your passport, or you have not checked to see if that country requires a visa. 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.160 So please make sure that you do that before you go anywhere. 00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:58.879 Josh. 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:07.759 And even because

you're speaking specifically international travel, like even think domestic for those that are domestic. 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.680 Real ID kicked in earlier this year. 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:39.919 And if you have not gone to the DMV or the BMV or whatever it's called in your city state, you need to go and make sure you have your I's dotted and your T's are crossed in that because just like Passport, if your ID is not valid, even though you think it is because you've been driving around and never had a reason to go get it updated, that real ID situation is in full throttle, full effect. 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:40.960 Your gagger TSA. 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.279 Because then you're like, uh, what you want us to do? 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.360 Yes, and TSA is not there to verify it for you. 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:53.440 They're they're there to make sure that your boarding pass matches your real ID, not just your ID. 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:59.840 So before you even are in the planning stages, make sure that all of your IDs, your visas, your passports are valid. 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.440 Your passports, they need to have at least six months. 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.440 And not six months from the day you travel to the day you get back. 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:16.399 Make sure you have more than six months before you travel because we never want to, you don't want to travel and end up in a situation where you're stuck in somebody's country and they look and you can't come back. 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.759 That is a feeling you do not want to have. 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:28.960 And nowadays, nowadays, too, if you go to the airport and your passport expires in less than six months, they won't even let you go to the plane to go to the gun tree. 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:33.120 They'd be like, Well, your travel plans are canceled, and then you gotta figure out what you're gonna do next. 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.600 And it actually happened with one of my friends on a group trip, one of my group trips, and he missed the entire trip. 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.919 Yeah, and lost out on everything. 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.799 And that is a lot of money that you want to have wasted. 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.759 And speaking of that, we're in a digital age. 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.879 Download everything everything, and if even if you think I'm not gonna need it, you will need it. 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.240 Download and not only download it, print it. 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.200 It's nothing like having a old school printed copy. 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:04.000 I know we think, oh, we live in a digital age, my phone won't get stolen, this won't happen. 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:20.320 Just because you say having a printed copy with you, because just because it won't happen, something happens to your passport, your passport gets lost, you on that fantastic trip, and God forbid there's a fire, there's a flood, whatever, mother nature happens. 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:21.440 We can't predict Mother Nature. 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.639 That's why we call her Mother Nature. 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.639 Internationally, like you were saying about the printed copy. 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:34.159 If you don't have your hard copy, but you haven't printed, at least you can go to the embassy to say, hey, this is me. 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.120 This is me. 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.639 I had this backed up because it was tucked somewhere in my suitcase. 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.840 So help me. 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:40.240 Yes. 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:55.519 And one thing I did want to point out and look up, because I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with IDs, a lot of people are familiar with passports, but visas, um, most people think that you can just jump on an airplane and just use your passport and don't do the visa. 00:10:55.679 --> 00:11:08.480 Uh, visa is an official permission from a country that lets a non-citizen enter and stay there for a specific purpose and length of time, usually linked to their passport. 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:15.919 So it is something that I wanted to point that out because read up on where you're going, first and foremost. 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:36.399 Uh the uh the agencies within our government that uh work with travel, the State Department, everything usually has websites that point out this is what you need, these are the places, like even having the addresses of the embassies and stuff like that, where to go. 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:37.440 So that's important. 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:43.840 But I did want people to know because a lot of times we highlight having the ID, the real ID, and highlight passports. 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.799 But visas are important, especially now. 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:55.519 Our country, cutting to the person that's in the White House, decided to start charging big time fees for visas. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.000 And it's it's important. 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:06.080 If I can piggyback off that to give y'all an example of why it's important to take care of your with visas, I have applied for about 10. 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.080 Do it within a three months to ban of your vacation. 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:16.480 I don't want you want people to gag because my friends, we just had to experience when I went to Bali and Vietnam for my birthday. 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.000 Two of my friends waited to the last minute to apply for their visas and they could not come to Vietnam. 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.679 They had to meet us in Bali because their visas did not get approved in time. 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.919 Because a lot of the different countries, some of them can approve you like the UK. 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:34.320 UK's uh visa, they respond immediately and give you a visa approval. 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.039 But Asia especially, oh, they they take their time, it can take weeks. 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:54.799 So

make sure you're doing the proper research to find out what's required for that visa in that country and how long it takes so that you're giving yourself enough time to apply for that visa, pay for it, and have enough time for your trip so your whole vacation is not ruined. 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.000 Yes, definitely. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.200 That's a good one. 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:10.399 And also pro tip when you are packing your bag, you're packing that big old large vacation bag, don't put every single bit of clothing in that bag. 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:18.639 Keep at least one outfit change in your carry-on bag because you never know where that large bag may end up. 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:29.039 Yeah, and then you're out there and without anything but your electronics and your cell phone with you, and you don't even have anything, not even a pair of underwear to change into. 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:45.840 So keep at least one pair of clothing with you until your large bag, and you don't have to worry about, well, now I'm in whatever country and I have, or whatever city, even if you're local, whatever city without a pair of clothes. 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.679 So keep one with you, even though you think, oh, nothing's gonna happen to my bag. 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.799 Again, you never know. 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.720 Stop speaking whatever into existence because you never know what may happen. 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.519 You never know. 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.600 So keep those with you and charge everything before you leave the house. 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.080 Yes. 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:06.799 Make sure if you are traveling with a portable charger or power bank that you are charging those ahead of time. 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:14.159 A lot of folks think because there are USB chargers or other charging outlets on planes that you can just charge that up. 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.679 No, that's a fire hazard. 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.159 Um, and a lot of times they don't work. 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.159 These charging ports don't work. 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.200 The wattage and voltage might be out there different. 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:30.240 So it's always good to have that, like she said, charged up before you leave the house. 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.600 Um, yeah, that's all I can say. 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.720 I also want to make because we did with this a lot on the plane. 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.240 Oh my god, I have a tight connection. 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:39.279 Do you think I'm gonna make it?

00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.640 There are apps for your hotel stays. 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.680 Download those two. 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:43.200 How you can check into your hotel, you can even basically the front desk from the absolutely you can do all of these things. 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.519 Technology has come so far. 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.720 Unfortunately, they have not downloaded a flight attendant app. 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.599 So we don't know these things. 00:18:52.960 --> 00:19:01.039 And I love I love the the the airlines are now getting with the advancement of technology, especially like my fate, one of my favorite airlines because of this analogy is United. 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:10.880 United will tell you if you're going to miss your flight, the next option you have is going to tell you what terminal you're coming into and what terminal your next flight is, how long of a walk is going to take to get to that next terminal. 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.880 It tells you so much. 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:14.000 Oh, that's fantastic. 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:20.880 And I love and so it's like if you get the app for the airline you're on, it will let you know hey, you're probably going to miss your connection. 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:21.920 This is the next option for you. 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.200 Do you want to take this now?

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:38.559 Well, sweetheart, you baby could absolutely check in yesterday. 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.359 Absolutely. 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.680 And for those who love to ask

your flight attendants as you're coming on board, we'll answer you. 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.279 But the answer is probably gonna be yes. 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:46.640 Is the flight full? 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.200 Yes. 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:48.240 Summertime, yes. 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:54.480 Yes, yes, yes, winter time, yes, completely full fall, yes, year round, yes. 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.759 Go to your assigned seat, please. 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:09.759 I think and because passengers don't understand that even though you come on board and you might, and this is now for any airline because Southwest has joined the ranks of assigned seating. 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:18.880 You come on board and you think because you see an open seat, I should be able to sit there because nobody's sitting there, and that's not the way it works. 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.720 Entitlement so many levels to that. 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.799 Fuel, weight and balance, and weight and balance and fuel are go hand in hand. 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:41.279 Also, there is somebody that usually paid a higher fee than what you paid sitting in the seat that you are trying, or role, or area that you're trying to get. 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:47.839 And you can't think that that's makes sense, or it's apples and apples. 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.279 No, it's apples and oranges. 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:50.799 It's like not equal. 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:59.599 So why should I just freely let you sit somewhere that someone else had to pay a higher price?

coming out. 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:20.480 So those requirements are ever changing. 00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:26.799 I know even with airlines across the board, a lot of them are cracking down even on portable chargers and power banks. 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.400 While you can only have one or not multiple. 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:32.319 Yeah, so be mindful of that. 00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:39.519 But the one thing I was gonna segue into when it comes to TSA rules is those that like to bring water bottles. 00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.400 We want you to stay hydrated. 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:44.079 We definitely do. 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:51.519 However, don't forget you put water in it and then put it in the overhead bin. 00:29:52.319 --> 00:30:06.480 Because what you don't realize is you left that in the overhead bin, the expanding and compressing of the cabin is causing now your water bottle to leak. 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:16.799 And not only is it coming through down through the vents and all this other stuff, but it's soaking up and wetting up other people's bags, and now it's a whole situation. 00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:24.000 So those that are coming on with water bottles, just be mindful that you have liquid in it. 00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.319 And if you don't have any liquid in it, no big deal. 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.480 You putting it up overhead, sure. 00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:44.319 But if you do know you have something in there, or as soon as you remember, as long as it's not between takeoff and landing, um, grab it down because the sooner you get to that, when you know you got liquid in, the safer everybody will be. 00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.559 Because the fact that I have to run in and out because it's like trip, it's raining. 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:54.960 Trip, trip, and a passenger is pissed off because normally the person whose drink it is is not the one in the world. 00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.400 Never the one in the state. 00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:57.039 It never works that way. 00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:58.400 It's never the one in the scene. 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.680 They're like, it's that one that just wanna and it's a bystander. 00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:06.000 I'm about to pursue the airline, and it's like it wasn't even us. 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:13.119 And another thing with those, those, those heavy metal, those, those ughetis, they are heavy. 00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:16.079 Y'all ever hear one of them drop on the floor sound like a uh bowling ball? 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:20.640 A lot of times they forget to put them, take them out over a bit, and they fall on people's heads. 00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:27.359 Yes, yes, y'all have to be careful with those heavy insulated water containers. 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:31.039 Take them out because you are injuring other people, which then slows us down because now we got a medical. 00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:35.920 Since we're talking about water bottles, airports have water fountains. 00:31:36.079

--> 00:31:36.240 Yes. 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:42.640 Oh my god, they just get your water before you come on. 00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:48.559 We don't mind getting you water during boarding, however, airports have water bottles. 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.799 Get your water before you come on board. 00:31:51.680 --> 00:32:05.920 And honestly, even to that point, we don't mind however during boarding, we're still in a certain stage within our job function. 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:12.720 We are in a safety-related functionality at at that point. 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.720 Um for some airlines, for some, it's different. 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:26.319 I think usually across the board, we are all in agreement when it's boarding because we have to be watching, we have to be paying attention and doing all this other stuff. 00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:31.119 So you asking for some water to take some medicine that you knew you had to take. 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:32.400 Before you came on board. 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:33.599 Before you came on board. 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.119 I'm not pointing the finger, but you knew this. 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:38.160 I didn't know this. 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:41.680 As your flight attendant standing here to remind you, hey, you take your medicine. 00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:42.960 I didn't know none of this. 00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:53.039 So you were aware of that that's something you should handle prior to getting on board or wait to the appropriate time when we can serve. 00:32:53.440 --> 00:33:00.799 I am sorry that you jogged from concourse A over to Concourse C and you're tired and you're sweaty. 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:01.839 And I I get it. 00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:03.839 I apologize that happened. 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:13.359 However, give me some grace if I tell you I can't serve you right now, or I can't give you uh any water until we get in the air. 00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:19.440 Because usually if a flight attendant tells you they can't, there's a reason behind it. 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:32.799 So don't immediately I say all this to say don't immediately jump to it's an offense against you or it's targeted against you, because 99% of the time, I already told one or two other people know they can't. 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:39.039 And when I say I, I'm speaking for flight attendants as a whole, we um have to do that. 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:40.640 But there are there are phases. 00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:43.440 We are not customer service, everything. 00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.000 Like you come on the board, everything is about you. 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.039 No, when you come on board, everything is about safety. 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.359 That's our number one job. 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.680 And of course, we're talking about travel tips, but this is Jumpseat Chronicles. 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:56.880 We are flight attendant driven. 00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:01.200 We're gonna talk about flight attendants, and so I'm always gonna uplift flight attendants as a whole. 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:04.880 Our job is safety, number one, to make sure you're safe. 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.519 Everything else is a added and a bonus. 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:09.519 So I want to highlight that. 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.800 Also, too. 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.039 Um speaking of you're not the only one on the plane, it's not all about you. 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.599 We get y'all might be tight on connections. 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.280 You get that you may need to make your connection. 00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:27.039 Please do not ring your flight attendant call button and ask the flight attendant if they can clear the aisle and let you off first. 00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.559 Like you're the only one on that plane that got a connection. 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:31.199 And row third. 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.239 You are not Beyonce. 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:33.119 And row 31. 00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.920 Oh sorry. 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:36.400 You're not the only one on this plane who has a connection. 00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.320 You are not special, and unfortunately, we will not be allowed to do that. 00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:50.960 The entitlement we would absolutely love to do that for the other 28 rows that are in front of you. 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:53.599 However, I'm so sorry we just can't do that. 00:34:53.760 --> 00:35:05.519 It's always people that always and and I apologize that you know your choice and option was yours to make when you chose to sit in row 30. 00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:07.199 It's a choice. 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.760 Like I said, you have an option to pick your seat. 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:11.920 Or or 50 or 56. 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:12.559 56. 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:22.880 If you were on, you know, others, or seven, you know, all the way in the back or wherever you're seated, even if you're in row eight and your bag happens, and you were tardy, and your bag happens to be in row 19. 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:32.000 You cannot hold the people back so you can go retrieve your bag to come back up so you can de-plane with row one through seven. 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:33.599 Yes, and you're at row eight. 00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.880 That is not something we can do. 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:44.320 And no, we cannot allow you to get your bag down for landing so you can hold on to your suitcase while we're landing. 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:50.400 Because again, unfortunately, you missed your particular boarding to allow that. 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:58.639 So, again, you know, we're high, we're we're we're laughing about this, but you know, presenting it to you in a joking manner. 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:00.159 But seriously, this is for real. 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.280 This is these are the reasons we're giving you these tips so you can avoid these mistakes when you travel during the summer. 00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:09.280 And I know a lot of summer

travelers are not seasoned travelers, you can see that. 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:14.079 So we're giving you these tips so that you can get to the airport and look like you're a pro. 00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:17.679 So next time you know you get on a plane, you you know, look like you're you know what you're doing. 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:23.360 And we want y'all to look like you know what you're doing because we see the chaos of it every single day. 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:30.079 And it is, it becomes, I feel like, more and more chaotic every single summer. 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.559 And y'all, when the plane lands, that is not the time to get up. 00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.440 That is not the time to unbuckle your seatbelt. 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:42.880 Or you see the seatbelt light go off, yeah, like that's the time to jump up. 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:49.519 Just because you see or you feel like a jerk and you you think we think because you're on the aisle, like, oh, we're there. 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:51.440 No that is that is not the time to get up. 00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:54.639 Look, actually, that's the time you need to be looking at your flight attendants. 00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:54.880 Yeah. 00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:57.039 To see what's going on. 00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:58.079 To see what we're doing. 00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:58.880 See what we're doing. 00:36:58.960 --> 00:36:59.840 Is are they up? 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.440 Like, are they moving? 00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.639 Because if we are, then yes, get up. 00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:06.719 If that's not on. 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:07.519 Please stay seated. 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:08.400 Stay seated. 00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:09.199 Please stay seated. 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:12.239 And and and besides, where the the Where do you think you're going? 00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:14.800 The bigger question is where are you going? 00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:20.800 You can't go anywhere until we prepare the cabin and prepare the door to open. 00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:24.079 Where are you gonna go until that door gets open? 00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:35.519 Nowhere until your flight attendants, actually, until the captain has pulled the plane in, set the brake, gives us the sign to prepare our doors to be open. 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.599 Nothing happens unless you climb it through that window. 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.480 Until the captain gets everything set so that we can get set so that y'all can get set. 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:43.280 Hold on. 00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:44.320 We want you to get there. 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.000 It's not like we don't want y'all to get there. 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:47.440 We do want you to get there. 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:53.760 But getting their safety, again, like Josh highlighted a few minutes ago, safety professionals, that's what we do. 00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:56.159 Drinks and snacks, that's a plus. 00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:57.679 That is that is a plus. 00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:01.360 And another thing, please stop doing okay. 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.280 Let me say this the correct way because I know. 00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:15.280 Okay, please, when that flight tenant light goes off, stop getting up out of your seat at 28 and running up to the front of the plane and blocking people in row three from getting up because you decided to send it back, but you want to be the first one off the plane. 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:16.480 You are not special. 00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:17.519 Please stop doing that. 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:23.519 These passengers are mad, they be cussing, and I'll be looking at you stupid, because that lets me know you are not a seasoned traveler, because that's rude. 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:26.800 Have some airplane etiquette and cut that stuff out. 00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:27.440 Please. 00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:28.400 I'm so sick of it. 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:29.360 I'm sick of it. 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:30.559 It happens all the time. 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:31.840 And then I'm not gonna say that. 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:32.400 Never mind. 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.360 I'm done. 00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:34.000 That's it. 00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:35.119 Stop doing it. 00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:36.960 So, Fran, you just had to let you know. 00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:40.159 I'm so sick of that. 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.000 Like you chose 28B, but you want to be the first one off the plane. 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:52.159 You got people in first class or in extra, you know, premium economy, and you're blocking them from getting up because they can't even stand up because you're standing in front of them like this. 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.159 Because you want to rush to be off the plane first. 00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:55.360 It don't work like that, baby. 00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:57.840 But I I I never understand the I can't stand. 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:05.199 I can't stand, I I will never understand the rush for getting off of the plane, and your bag is still not gonna be there. 00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:13.599 So you're gonna wait for your stand there at baggage plane for 37.5 minutes waiting for your bag to get off. 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:25.599 So it's like, ladies and gentlemen, we want y'all to understand it's we want y'all to get there, we want you to get to your travel, but still, you still have to navigate a very crowded airport no matter where you are going. 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:27.519 The airports are completely crowded. 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.719 So it's like, y'all, practice some patience. 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:50.960 So the one thing as a tip to everyone, uh, because we just did have our little rants, a tip to everyone is look at traveling through airports as an experience versus a um a must, or I, you know, business travelers. 00:39:51.199 --> 00:40:01.199 Usually you will see them most of the time calm, cool, collected, throwing the you know, jackets over the shoulders, just getting in their seats,

they because they're gonna have a drink. 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:08.480 Uh you know, they they they take off their jackets, they fold it and they, you know, do they're just cool, calm, and collected. 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.559 They don't make this flight, they know there's another one. 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:12.480 Like, because they're experienced. 00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:15.760 You have to look at travel as an experience. 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:23.840 Yes, rushing to the front to think you're gonna get off the plane, your bag's not there because they ain't started pulling bags off. 00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:28.960 Your your Uber Lyft is not gonna be there because one, you shouldn't have been ordering it while you're in the back. 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:30.960 Like it's gonna take time. 00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:41.039 You even if somebody's picking you up from the airport, usually, especially if it's a holiday weekend, the airport's already jam-packed, so it's gonna take them time to work up to the front, you're up there waiting. 00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:46.559 But one thing that even when you're coming to the airport, make sure. 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:55.679 I'm just gonna say the two-hour window, three-hour window for international is kind of out right now. 00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:58.639 Just come to the airport. 00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:14.000 There's plenty of restaurants, there are bars, there are stores usually in most big airports, smaller airports might be a little different, but major airports like LaGuardia, Atlanta, Chicago, food, I'm sure. 00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:27.119 Philly, Philly, New Orleans, like all of those airports have such stuff set up for passengers to feel comfortable and be relaxed before a flight. 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:31.280 We ain't saying come and get toe up, because if you get toe up, you're not getting on that flight. 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:32.639 Like, let's be clear. 00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:34.480 So do not, that's the tip. 00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.039 Do not come to the airport and get wasted. 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.119 That's never no-go. 00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.239 Because as soon as you walk in and you, whoa. 00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:43.760 Got to go back. 00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:44.239 Sorry. 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:45.280 You gotta go sleep that off. 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:46.000 Next flight. 00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:49.280 Next flight, or until you can walk straight. 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.840 Make sure you're getting there early enough. 00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:59.599 I again, domestically, two hours is a stretch, especially with what we saw earlier this year. 00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:06.000 You probably need to be getting there three to four hours before before you know you're gonna leave. 00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:21.360 Because if you have to check your bag, which now most people are starting to do that a lot more because of the way the airlines operate when it comes to backspace in the overhead bin and having to pay for bags uh because you can only take so much. 00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:28.639 Build that into your itinerary when it comes to whatever you're traveling for. 00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:31.840 Um international flights. 00:42:34.320 --> 00:43:08.800 Dot your I's and cross your T's with that because there have been so many people, and I'll say even traveling into places like we were talking about visas and stuff like that, they get held up in those airports, can't even enter the country, they're still in the airport because they didn't dot their I's and cross their T's with whatever paperwork needed to be in place, making whatever payments, because these countries also require you to make some payments on on said visa or whatever to enter in. 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:43.920 Also, another thing read up on the laws where you're going because you might be live in Chicago and you can walk around or you know, be able to do certain herbal things that you can't do in other places, you need to know that going across the country and you normally our lovely Michelle has her arms out on today's episode, but certain countries she might not be able to freely walk around with her arms out. 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:57.280 And if you don't know that because you just thought, oh, I saw this beautiful picture, and I just want to go to this place, and you don't know how their laws work, baby, you can end up in prison, in jail. 00:43:58.000 --> 00:43:59.760 Don't go to do you can't get out from. 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:00.800 For a while. 00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:02.960 And there's nobody to come and save you. 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:08.079 I mean, it's different when mama and pawpaw can come pay to get you out of Dallas prison. 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:11.280 Or I mean not prison, but jail, Dallas jail, pay your bond. 00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:14.480 It's totally different when you're in a whole nother country. 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:18.320 Especially places like Dubai and those Middle East where they have really short. 00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:21.679 Do not come out though with your cooch cutters on because you will not make it very far. 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:26.800 One of my friends got stopped in the mall and they said you need to put some over because she had a cleavage out, and the cleavage was cleavaging. 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:28.480 And they said, cover up. 00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:29.440 Put some clothes on. 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.199 Yes, they do not play in the countries. 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:32.639 Please be careful. 00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:36.000 And I've been to Dubai, they're very conservative with their women. 00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:36.239 Yeah. 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:37.360 Then they are with the men. 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:38.480 They do not play. 00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:40.719 But even we're in June. 00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:42.000 LGBTQ. 00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.920 AI plus
