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!

1. If your travel is less than seven hours, drive.
2. Download and use the airline app to track flight times, baggage, or make changes to your reservation.
3. 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.
4. Keep in mind summer is prone to thunderstorms that can delay flights/
5. 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.
