I volunteered to get bumped from CHI to LAX and got $1,200 credit, which covered a trip to Europe. What I didn’t know… if they need multiple volunteers and they have to keep raising the incentive, all volunteers get the highest amount. Our flight started at $500, and kept going up. I had to stay overnight, so I also got a hotel room at a Hilton and food vouchers. It was great, but you have to be flexible.

I always bring an empty water bottle when I travel. Bottled water at the airport is so expensive. I’ve always been told that when researching flights, use an incognito browser. Lastly, if you’re not picky about the airline, sometimes flying with 2 different companies can save you $.

TSA precheck is so worth it even if you don't travel often. My last flight I traveled with just a carry on and you don't need to take out electronics or take your shoes off. So nice

I LOVE the idea of vacuum sealing your clothing. When I travel by myself, I make it a point to not use carry on luggage and this idea will help a ton.

Global entry is better than TSA pre check if you’re someone who travels internationally a lot! You get TSA precheck but you skip customs for returning from international trips

Thank you for the tips Shelby! I don’t travel a lot, but I agree TSA pre check is worth it. And hope you have a merry Christmas 🎄🎁🧑🏼‍🎄

Yes please tell us the rest of the secrets. Love this! Thank you for sharing!

YOU are the best Shelby!! Thank youuuu!!!! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and prosperity in the new year!!!

Great video Shelby!!

Love your videos Shelby!!!

Great video ! Really like the Wander house you guys all stayed at. Such a beautiful place and great travel tips and tricks.

Two videos today love it.

I always wondered about the TSA precheck so maybe I'll give that a go! My favorite travel hacks are using the packing cubes AND the hand held weigher for your bag. I just stick the little hand held scale thing in the front of my bag and I always know that I'm good on weight when I check my bag. :)

Great vid Shelby!

Wander is fire. Been wanting to try and will definitely be my choice whenever I have more than 4 friends to travel together with.

ive never heard of the puffer in a pillowcase hack, but man thats such a smart hack!! ive been realizing not every flight will give pillows so thats such a good way to have a pillow without needing a neck pillow

This Shelby was such a great presentation. Loved all the hacks and i loved how you brought this on a new level. More personal yet so professional it blew me away. Thank you for all the great tips!!!!

I recently learned and started to use that pillowcase idea. Now it is a great comfort-booster and a really nice extra for my travels. I keep my winter jacket as a filler but if going to and from warmer destinations then it is one of my laundry bags

TSA Pre-check is a MUST!! It’s made security such a breeze since getting it! Thanks for all the great tips, Shelby!

this wander is my favorite you’ve shown yet 🤩

Oo these are great! Esp the strategies for booking timing!

I like the puffer jacket/pillow tip. Very creative & easy to do.

Whitefish is amazing! Hope you had a great time!

gosh montana looks so beautfiul in the winter i must journey to this area one day

First class upgrade strategy is new and interesting to me. Thank you!!! 😊

My jaw dropped when u said $260 per person, that’s so good!!!! Especially in todays economy , def going to consider wander

Great tips!

NEXUS is great if you live near the Canadian border. It’s offered by Canada and costs $50 for 5 years. It gives you TSA PreCheck and Global Entry. It also has a fast lane if you are entering Canada by car.

More videos like this please ✨

I love vacuum sealed bags! The trick to make them work the BEST is to fold your clothes really flat, don't bunch up the clothes!

Wow. Wander house is gorgeous 😍

Hi my dear I must tell you some words. I really appreciate your work. Good luck 💯💯💯💯

Great video as always Shelby! 💙 Merry Christmas and happy new year!! I hope 2024 treats you well. Soooo, as far as entering the giveaway for Wander, it’s just creating an account right? I didn’t get a confirmation about that but I did just sign up!! 🤗

Just remember when bringing your food onboard, try to not have it be "very loud smelling", and that's not a negative on it, but it your stuff's smells fills the plane once you open it....well that's not nice and also, if it has peanuts...well the flight crew might take it from you. Be ready for that. On the upgrades....make sure you're nice to the Gate Agent AND the Flight Crew. These people can upgrade you at their discretion. I was on a full flight from BOS to DFW....I hung around the gate area waiting to see what the Gate Agent would do, finally she called me over and said she didn't need my seat, but she did change my seat to First Class (well Business everywhere else).

Just a heads up if your a CDL driver and have your TWIC card you get TSA pre check, its one of the numbers on the back of your card. Ive used it like 3 times and its worked each time.

That Wander place looks huge and can fit 12 people. The place is gorgeous.

I worked at the airport! Thursdays and sundays are actually the busiest travel days.

Shelby, I appreciate your travel hacks video. I was wondering what you were saying about the overbooked flights scenario, and in that case what if you had a connecting flight? How do you? How would you deal with that? Are there generally other connecting flights, and similar times, or do you just have to have like an open window of when you arrive

Wear a hoodie with a front pouch. It works great to put stuff in while going through the airport or when your are on the plane. Also if you get cold on the plane, you can put the hood on.

i'm normally critical of sponsors but wander seems cool and easy to use and i know Airbnb is getting the hate and getting some hate for probably good reasons but i just think of all the horror movies that relate to staying at a stranger's property and surveillance cameras but that only happens in the movies. I think wander Seems like a Good Sponnor i loved the propriety you stayed at.

Here for the algorithm!

Just remember to make sure that if you have Amex plat supplementary card that you specify additional guests are covered for free. Otherwise they will charge you even if you can get guests in the lounge for free.

The travel hack I use is booking through my company. If you work in corporate America you can probably do this too. I book my personal travel through my company's travel service (using my personal card) and the flight prices are often cheaper. There are other perks depending on the airline/hotel chain/rental car company. For Delta I get priority boarding, free priority seats, and higher chances of getting upgrades.

Thanks Shelby! I wanted to get the vacuum seal bags, but your "Equipment I Use" link didn't work for me.

What is it with European train stations not having elevators? There's a shocking lack of accessibility. I may just take a backpack with wheels on my next trip since I will be in a bunch of different locations. I like rolling and compression bags more than vacuum bags where you have to carry a vacuum, but it totally makes sense for ski clothes.

I think Clear depends on what your home airport is. It has saved me a lot of time + it’s free if you have the Amex Platinum! Also if you’re getting TSA Pre, you might as well get Global Entry (because it includes it). The interview is hard to get, but you can do a quick one “on arrival” the next time you’re flying internationally.

If you don't have a window seat, you can use it as a back pillow (makes a massive difference on longer flights!). And if you forget a pillowcase, get a plastic bag from the airport and you can still use it as a back pillow or put it under the seat in front or in the overhead lockers (without getting it all dirty/subjecting it to potential bed bugs).

Would you share your Rakuten link please?!?! Thanks for the video!! 🤗

Wander looks amazing - will definitely check them out for future vacation house options. As far as travel hacks - if you are traveling with kids Southwest can be a great option once you get the companion pass (lots of travel hacking strategies out there to get it easily) which then lets you have a free companion for every flight you purchase for up to 2 years (depending on when you earn it). Plus you have all the points from getting the companion pass to use up… we are currently at 5 fully paid for flights for a family of 4 using this travel hacking strategy which has saved us thousands.

We’re all better off with Shelby’s lessons of experience 👍

How do you keep your food at a safe temperature for hours when you travel? Do you use a lunchbag with an ice pack?

Cool vid, that Free First Class Upgrades was a tough section with just opening up with “get status” and not explaining how status works for airlines. Not an easy task and people who get status would not find the rest of the “tip” useful.

Bring a container and stash some of that lounge food for the flight.

Travel hack: If you find yourself having too many bags for carry-on, you can hide your purse inside your jacket.

FYI TSA pre check appears to be only available to US residents

I don't fly much now but I got bumped 45 minutes and got a free first class upgrade and a $200 voucher in 2010 when that meant something. Do you use Global Entry ?

can you link your one shoulder shirt - love it on you

also airports like DEN in Denver are doing where you can reserve your spot in security ahead of time. not sure what other airports are doing this.

Tips: bring your own water bottle, packing cubes are a must, make sure your passport won’t expire within 6 months, book shoulder seasons, use plastic shower caps on your shoes, take a food tour on first night in a new city. Travel Now, Travel Often!

I LOVE precheck just for not having to take off my shoes or belt!! I've seen people go though security with their bare feet since they had to take their shoes off 🤢 One of my travel tips is to bring an empty reusable bottle, or at least an empty bottle through security. Most airports have water bottle fillers after security so you don't need to spend $5+ on a bottle of water!

Shelby- I wanted to let you know for some reason your videos I’m subscribed to it it keeps taking off the subscription, so maybe if you’re thinking nobody’s watching your videos it’s because KZfaq is taking off the subscribed

More hacks? Yes 👍

Global entry is an even better deal if you travel at all internationally. Its $100 for 5 years and also includes TSA Precheck :)

Shelby, you forgot to add your Rakuten link!

That’s a nice place, price per person isn’t terrible either.

is this travel for inside USA only? can u do a europe asia or worldwide version pls

Avoid connecting through the USA at all costs. Airport security in every other country is so chill in comparison. No needing through immigrations, rechecking your bags, and being yelled at every time the plane lands.

Wow🎉

10:55 - Which is better btwn Global Entry v.s. TSA PreCheck v.s. NEXUS? After submitting your application, how long did you have to wait to get approval?

Are you still using Music Bed for your songs?

Shelby, can you please talk about longevity and age reversal that scientists are working on? I think people should invest in this industry. a world without death is nicer and prettier for sure. Please do us a favor and talk about it. thank you

All You Can Eat!!! Sign me up. LOL!!!

Does TSA precheck involve any actual checks or is it just an admission of incompetence on their part? feels a little corruptiony

can you talk more about the amex card

Does your clothes get wrinkled when you compress it in that plastic bag? What if the bag gets holes in it?

No food in the fridge 😂🎉🤙🍻

Where is the link for hack #7?!

The travel credit might not be worth it if they don’t give you enough credit to cover the flight, or the next flight is too long away and will make you miss your Airbnb check in at your destination.

i wouldn't be surprised if shelby's name gets on some delta ''watch list'' after this video 😁

❤

I like how you time stamp this just saying "Hack #" but don't tell us exactly what it is to keep us watching.

Use caution with foods that may smell (including sandwiches), your airline seat neighbors will thank you.

Global Entry includes TSA precheck,

some of the airlines ask you on the app if you wanna switch flights

Or if you have a Govt issued TWIC card, you automatically get TSA precheck

your equipment link isn't working correctly.

Link for Rakuten?

💜

Uh oh … I was clicking on the “equipment I use” link and it came back with “something went wrong”

Are you still house shopping in L.A.?

Amex platinum is $695

Wander sounds cool… wish I had 8 friends tho…

i have TSA precheck. yet sometimes, Alaska Airlines "tickets" tell me I do not have TSA precheck. I am thinking:" What is the point of having TSA precheck when it only works 50% of the time? " anybody got tips? Thanks!

Oh I didn't know about the free global entry / tsa precheck no annual fee credit cards, thanks!

tip #2 only useful until we rediscover the egyptian tech that enables us to remove and add the space particles in items XD

Well, I hope Graham reacts to this video

It’s not free, you pay for annual fees😊

Amex platinum is 695 not 795

KZfaqr these days are turning into salesperson.

Platinum card is $695 / year
