Signature boarding pass

- Hello everybody. Scott Friesen here at Simpletivity helping you to get more done and enjoy less stress. And today I'm talking to you from the road. I just finished an all day workshop that I delivered yesterday right here in Spokane, Washington. And I'm about to pack up my hotel room and head to the airport to head back home. And you know this month, I'm spending an awful lot of time on the road. So I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to pass along some productivity tips to help you stay productive while you're traveling. Whether that's for business or maybe even if that's for pleasure such as a vacation. So today I wanna talk about two things that I do as I am preparing to head out. Whether I'm departing or whether I'm heading back home. And that has to do with my boarding passes and making sure I'm at the right gate number. So number one, my number one tip has to do with your digital boarding pass. We're pretty fortunate that most airlines have an online app or they can text message you a link to your online boarding pass, right? You just have that QR code that you can use at the gate. But you've probably seen that experience. Either you've experienced this yourself or you've seen someone else fumble with their phone. They can't find the email, they can't load that boarding pass correctly, they forget where that app is or it's not loading or refreshing properly. Well, to avoid that hassle, to always make sure that you have your boarding pass available, my first tip for you is to take a screenshot of the online boarding pass. So you only have to reference it in your photos. Your photos do not need to connect to the internet, your photos are gonna be stored directly on your mobile device. So whenever you first get your boarding pass, I recommend that you take a screenshot. Now, preferably, you can do this on your mobile device so it's got the same dimensions as you would. You could do it on your desktop computer if you want to and then just save it to your phone. Just have it on your phone. But I tend to do a screenshot on my mobile device so it looks exactly like how it would or how it's supposed to be on the phone. Now, depending if you're an Android user, an Apple user, you may need to find out how to take a screenshot on your device but I would encourage you to learn how to do so. If you don't know how to do so just yet, I'll see if I can post some links down below for some helpful resources. The second thing is that when you get your boarding pass, when you first check in, perhaps 24 hours in advance, you often will not have a gate number. Either they don't know what the gate number is yet or it may change. Well, I like to rely on Google to always make sure that I know where I need to be in the airport. All you need to do is find your flight number. It usually starts with a two-letter code for the airline followed by four digits. That's pretty standard, or at least here in North America. And all you need to do is go to your Google Search bar and just type in flight and then follow it with that flight number. Sometimes the flight number is all you need as well but if you include the word flight either before or after you, you are certainly gonna get the latest information directly from Google. And sometimes it even provides you more information than the airline will provide you directly such as both, not only the departure time but boarding time, gate changes, if it's on time, it it's delayed. I find that Google is sometimes, it's just a more convenient way and I can rely on it. I don't need to go to a special website, I don't need to go to the airport website or the airline website. I let Google do the work for me. So those are my two tips for this week. Look forward to more travel tips later this month right here on the Simpletivity channel. And if you've got something that you'd like to share to help you stay productive or help you just stay on top of things when you're traveling, be sure to share it with me here in the comments. Until next time, remember, being productive does not need to be difficult. In fact, it's very simple.
