I’ve always loved quirky travel tidbits. Stuff that you may not have ever thought of or heard about. It could be learning what Disney Rash is, or why planes don’t fly over the Pacific Ocean, or even why you should keep a discontinued credit card.
Fun Travel Facts You Might Not Know
If you’re like me and enjoy learning those little things, keep reading…
Granted, I’m sure there will be some things in the following video that you already know. And I bet that a few of you will know many of them. But I bet you can’t go through this whole list and know every single thing they mention. I didn’t.
I’ll give my editorial comments for some of them underneath the video.
My Take on the Video
#1: I was aware of the 2nd option and had heard about the 3rd one (although I didn’t realize it was worldwide), but I had no idea about the 1st option they mentioned. Not that I plan on bringing anything onto a plane that could be seized at the airport, but I’ll look into that one.
#4: Besides how it’s labeled, also be aware of how much powdered material you bring in your carry-on – there’s a limit.
#5: Does anyone know what “special clips” they’re talking about? I know that Knee Defenders are banned, so…? (The video was made in mid-2019, which was long after Knee Defenders were banned)
#6: There are lots of airports that offer an even more convenient option nowadays (unless that’s what the video was suggesting? The photo wasn’t indicative of it, though).
#11: We disagree with this one. At least if you’re paying with a credit card. Here’s why.
#12: That’s a good start. So is taking a Sudafed or something similar. However, using these will help even more.
#14: “Have a tendency to explode?” Well, I think that’s a bit much. Anyway, here’s some more info about which ones you can and cannot bring in carry-on vs. checked luggage.
#17: That’s BRILLIANT!
#18: Does anyone know why? It’s less than 3.4 ounces – couldn’t it just go in your “bag o’liquids?”
#27: Here are some specific examples of stuff to do!
#30: I call bullspit. Just sayin’.
#33: I’m willing to bet that not all airports have this feature
Wrapping It Up
So that’s my take on them. Not a whole lot I didn’t know, but #17 was definitely new to me, we disagree with #11 and 30, and I’m just not sure what they’re talking about with #5 and 18.
