Flight Attendant Shares Clutch Tips For People Flying This Summer

If it seems to you like everyone is experiencing flight cancellations this summer, you're not alone. My in-laws, cousins, and some friends all had flights cancelled on them within the last week, and though my flight wasn't cancelled, flying to San Francisco was a total nightmare. Due to staffing cuts at both airlines and airports, and more Americans feeling comfortable traveling during the pandemic, airports are a shitshow. And they're not getting any better. We need to travel smart. And that's a lot easier thanks to this thread from Twitter user and flight attendant @kateeya_.

There's no better way to get advice than from an insider, and @kateeya_ is just that. The flight attendant shared another flight attendant's advice and confirmed what we already knew: flying this summer is rough. But she also confirmed that there are some ways to mitigate that roughness. Eight ways, to be exact.
While she missed a fourth tip, there's a lot more where these came from.
Knowledge is power. Use it next time you book a flight.
