The 10 Best Travel Hacks on the Internet

Bonjour Rich People,

IDK if you have heard but I am sort of ~the points girl~ like low key, your queen knows how to travel RIGHT! From flight credits for broken wifi to upgrading at the gate,  I shared all my greatest travel hacks in THIS VIDEO & asked for yours! There were SO many good ones but because time is money, I chose my 10 favorites. Scroll down to read & see you in the Centurion Lounge.

#1

Try to avoid flying when business travelers are (aka Monday morning and Friday afternoon)

#2

Check your bag at the gate for free — Often times overhead space is full and they’ll check your carry on to your final destination at no additional cost.

#3

Take advantage of travel credit card benefits, like discounts on TSA pre-check and global entry to exclusive lounge access.

#4

Try to avoid booking through a third party — If anything happens to your flight, it’s a nightmare to deal with vs. dealing directly with the airline.

#5

Many airlines are switching to a new policy that if your bag doesn’t arrive to baggage claim within 20 minutes of your arrival, you can report it for free miles.

#6

Flight attendants love a gift — Bring a bag of goodies for them and you’ll often see a free drink in your future.

#7

Do your research on airline’s new policies about flight cancellations and changes. Most airlines are waiving change fees and giving flight credits when you cancel, so if you’re unsure about a flight but see it’s super cheap, might as well book and change or cancel later for the credit!

#8

Be mindful that prices change throughout the day. Many airlines drop their lowest prices in the afternoon.

#9

Use websites like Hopper to set alerts to find the best deals, but then book directly through the airline.

#10

Many people say the best time to book flights is 2 months out for domestic and 3 months out for international!
