A lot of travelers hate airport layovers. I love them and here's some tips on why you can like them too... Top 5 Travel Tips on How to Survive Airport Layovers http://grrrltraveler.com/travel-tips-3/how-to-survive-airport-layovers/ BONUS TIP !!! Sometimes I think of things I want to share only AFTER I've shot my video. (burp) Click on the link above to read it on my website. There's more detail there as well. How to Survive Airport Layovers: 1. Sleeping Cabins Find out where the best sleeping spots are in the airport or even if it's a 24 hour airport which you can sleep in. Some airports have sleeping cabins you can rent or lounge chairs for comfort. Sleeping in Airports ( http://www.sleepinginairports.net ) is where travelers leave reviews about an airport and where they found places to sleep in. 2. Left Luggage See if your airport has a left luggage or luggage storage so you can drop your bags and jump a bus or metro for a day of sightseeing in the city. 3. Wear comfortable clothes If you know you're going to have a layover, I would dress for comfort. I've seen people go as far as wear sweatpants. Watch my video about How to Pack for a Carry-on, where I mention some accessory items I use and pack in my daypack. 4. Bring Charging Devices (and Adapters!) Bring your charging devices and adapters. These days it's technology-oriented society. A lot of us have iPhones, laptops, mp3 players, cameras... you're going to want to take that time to charge them. If the airport has wifi and you're want to surf the web, even moreso, you'll want to bring chargers. Keep in mind, not all airports have free outlets (GRRRR!) but many do, if not, USB ports and charging stations. 5. Pack a bag of essential items Always pack a bag of essential items. Your flight could get delayed or your luggage could get lost. It's always good to have a bag of items that will help you survive your trip and sometimes you just want to freshen up. Things I pack are: -toothbrush & toothpaste - an extra pair of underwear - touchup makeup - moisturizer - bottle for water - SNACKS (airports can be expensive!) - medication - etc... Keep an eye out for my video on How to Choose your Airport Layover, where I'll be sharing advance tips on what you should be looking for in your airport to make your layover an amusement attraction! ================== SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: http://youtube.com/user/ckaaloa ================== *LET'S CONNECT!* GRRRLTRAVELER WEBSITE: http://grrrltraveler.com FACEBOOK: http://facebook.com/GRRRL.TRAVELER TWITTER: http://twitter.com/grrrltraveler PINTEREST: http://pinterest.com/grrrltraveler INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/grrrltraveler GOOGLE + PAGE: https://plus.google.com/b/115684422978231046500/+Grrrltraveler Travel Survival | Solo Travel | Live with GRRR!

Better for me to pay more and avoid airport stays. Airports are evil--they drain your resources. Nice video, thank you!

I love the absence of opening intro(usually graphics) of your videos foremost, 30 seconds saved on not seeing the same intros. Secondly, the length of your videos combined with the the ratio of meat vs filler, I usually quit watching after 4 minutes. Most importantly I love the content and variety of your travel videos. Well done and keep up the good work.

I sleep in the bathroom in a cubical

I was in Singapore Changi airport last night for 9 hours and I loved it! They have free sweets, free facials, free foot massage machines, free butterfly garden, free movie rooms, swimming pool, saunas and showers (not free), free wifi, and staff riding seagways which I asked to have a go on. It was like Disneyland or something lol.

I see that the last comment was a long time ago but here is one thing I do when possible. See if the airport has Lounge(s) operated by the airlines. Ask at the check in desk for the airline you are using. I have a membership to American Airlines Admiral clubs. They have free food, showers, cold and hot drinks, free wifi ect. If you can't get in free via the airlines, you can ask to buy a day pass good for 24 hours for about $50

I have never done a layover. Question: once landing at first stop do I have to pick up my luggage and bring it to the other airline or how does that work? would they already put it on the plane I'm about to board? please help anyone.

YVR airport has both the cabins and Lounge chairs..

I like the sleeping at airports site. I'm gonna check it out. I got stuck in Shanghai and it would've been handy to know where to sleep. It was at night so noone was there but maybe finding a better place to sleep would've come in handy. I just laid out in some vacant terminal.

The world of too sticky and stingy people. :(
