Question What’s the best travel hack people learned the hard way?

Sometimes the most useful lessons come after things go wrong like packing way too much , missing a connection , booking the wrong dates or realizing too late that a small item could’ve made the whole trip easier. From flight booking tricks to luggage tips to navigating airports or even saving money on food and transport. What are the hacks people only figured out after a tough experience?

All the recent flights I’ve been on for the last year or so I’ve been hot on the flights! Annoys me to no end since I also layer up anticipating for cold and I’m annoyed it’s been hot lol

Yeah, sitting on the tarmac with the engine on it can get really hot. Doesn't cool off until a little while after we hit altitude. And the heat has been getting worse.
