Since air travel can be frustrating, I hope you find the following travel tips from helpful:<\/p>\n<p>1. Don&#8217;t travel with gel pens. You could wake up in a pool of ink, as the air pressure changes can cause the ink to burst out. I learned this lesson MANY years ago but thought they changed the technology &#8212; and I recently ruined three perfectly good pairs of pants. NEVER again! I have finally learned my lesson!!<\/p>\n<p>2. ALWAYS look at the airline luggage routing tags that the ticket agent is putting on your checked baggage, and look at your claim stubs too. Don&#8217;t just assume they are putting the right tag on the right bag.<\/p>\n<p>3. Take note of something interesting about the contents of your bag. It makes it easier to identify if there&#8217;s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>4. Travel with Sharpie markers and zip-closure plastic bags. They are great for marking and identifying things quickly.<\/p>\n<p>5. If your flight is cancelled, don&#8217;t wait in the long line in front of the ticket agent to get on another plane. Just step aside and call your airline directly from your cell phone. It&#8217;s just like cutting in line, but nobody will get mad at you.<\/p>\n<p>6. Bring pre-printed return address labels with you. They&#8217;re great for quickly filling out airline luggage tags and other forms.<\/p>\n<p>7. Get a travel pillow that supports your neck. Neck pillows like the Bucky brand are filled with buckwheat hulls and support your neck while you&#8217;re trying to sleep on the plane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe Subscribe I found these 7 Helpful Travel Tips on Lifehack.org.
