A woman by the name of Kate took to Twitter to give travelers some advice as many airlines struggle to deal with the high demands of air-travel.
“Flying this summer is ROUGH!!! I feel like as a Flight Attendant I should attempt to share some tips to get you through airline travel for the foreseeable future,” @kateeya_ tweeted.

Flying this summer is ROUGH!!! I feel like as a Flight Attendant I should attempt to share some tips to get you through airline travel for the foreseeable future.
1. Things are not good….. if its less than 7 hours – DRIVE! I’m not kidding.

Here are the some of the tips she recommends below!
- If your travel is less than seven hours, drive.
- Download and use the airline app to track flight times, baggage, or make changes to your reservation.
- Fly much earlier then you need to especially if you have a special event. “This week I saw many people miss important things like weddings, funerals, cruises, and graduations. The tears were very real, for very real reasons, and there was nothing I could do!,” Kate tweeted.
- Keep in mind summer is prone to thunderstorms that can delay flights/
- Schedule long layovers.
8. When flight crews get delayed we time out. We can NOT fly longer than 16 hours. Its illegal. So it doesn’t matter if you have a wedding to get to, when we are done we are done. The way things are now, there are no back up crews, so when this happens your flight cancels.
