Even if you can’t afford to upgrade to business class, there are still many ways that you can improve your traveling experience. If you’re interested in some hacks that will help you fly with ease, you’ve come to the right place! Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do about your fellow passengers traveling habits (although Misty does share a story about a family being removed from a flight due to other passengers' requests), or the attitude of the flight attendants (which seem to differ depending on which class you are flying), but if you are well prepared you can arrive at your vacation destination relatively refreshed. From airport yoga to bathroom slippers to the size of your backpack, Lexee and Misty have expert travel tips that they have developed over years of experience which will make travelling fun for you, and prevent you from being the kind of traveler that other people can’t stand!
