Don't put too much trust in suitcase zippers. Many people claim that they can disable a zipper with just a ballpoint pen and part the zipper to open it. This is how many airport employees identify suitcases when they are locked or unlabeled. |

Bring your own headphones According to several people who have worked at the warehouse that supplies the equipment on the plane, the headsets provided to passengers, although carefully wrapped, are not new. They are taken out after each flight and repackaged for reuse. |

Remove old flight labels Many bags get lost or are misrouted because passengers refuse to remove the labels from previous flights. This confuses the staff at the conveyor belt and security machines. |

Treat staff politely The nicer you are to the staff, the more willing they are to help you. If you want more food, politely ask the flight attendant and they will bring you the best part. The person next to you is too noisy, you can talk softly to the flight attendant, they will find a way to arrange a better seat for you. Be polite to the ticket inspector, they will be happy to let your excess baggage go or not charge you for it. |

Buy flight tickets on Tuesday According to many people's experience, the cheapest time to book air tickets is on Tuesday afternoon. The days with the cheapest flights are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. However, this is only based on the experience of travelers in the US. |

Don't drink coffee Coffee is a very unhygienic beverage on planes because no one cleans the containers in the morning. Airport staff rarely pay attention to this because their salaries are too low, not to mention they are not provided with adequate cleaning supplies. Therefore, they usually just rinse the containers and put the coffee in. |

Write pet name on cage About 30% of pets get nervous before boarding a plane. Cabin crew will usually try to calm your pet, but there’s little they can do other than talk to them. So if you write your pet’s name on the carrier, they’ll be more likely to help. |
