Tips by Traveler Type

For Families

• Most airports have baby care rooms with changing tables, bottle warmers, and nursing areas.
• Download offline entertainment before your layover – airport WiFi may be slow or time-limited.
• Use luggage storage services (Bounce, Stasher, LuggageHero) instead of airport lockers – typically $5-10/bag/day and much cheaper.

For Solo Travelers

• Keep your passport, phone, and wallet in a cross-body bag or hidden money belt when exploring the city.
• Share your location with a trusted contact when leaving the airport.
• Use a Wise or Revolut card for the best exchange rates – zero markup in most countries.
• Consider voluntary bumping if your flight is overbooked – airlines often offer $200-800+ in compensation.

For Groups

• Add 15-30 minutes ‘group tax’ to all time estimates – groups move slower through immigration and security.
• Designate a group leader to manage timing, headcount, and communication.
• Use WhatsApp or a shared group chat for real-time coordination. Pin departure gate and boarding time.
• Use Splitwise to track shared expenses automatically.
• Food courts work better than sit-down restaurants – everyone can choose what they want.
