"Okay, so now we have planned our trip. Almost perfect. But guess what? We don't live in a perfect world and sometimes things can go wrong. I had an example. I was actually traveling from Sacramento to Los Angeles. And I had to stop and do some things and get some paperwork taken care of. And I almost missed my flight. So I'm going to tell you ways to, if you're pressed for time, how to make things work. So, I'll tell you my story really quick: I get to the airport and I check in and I'm putting my luggage on the weighed, on the scale. And my luggage is too big. I had two options: I could pay extra and get it sent for; I think it was an extra fifty bucks. Or I was offered a chance to put some of my items into a box and send it. So make sure, if you have situations that can probably cause problems or threats, that you utilize your options. I paid the fifty dollars because I was running late. But if you're not running late and you have time, you can make those kind of adjustments. Another instance is when I got to the airport late, to check in early I did have my boarding pass printed, which is great. The sky cap is always awesome. The line is almost always shorter than the regular line inside. And if you give the sky cap guys a tip, then they really, really work hard to make sure your bags get on the plane on time and that they kind of help communicate with other people to help you get to your flight."
