Here's what no airline will tell you on a heatwave day: your plane can be too hot to take off. When the air gets very hot it turns thin, and thin air gives the wings less lift, so the plane has to shed weight to get off the ground. First your checked bag gets held back, then the cargo, and on the most extreme days passengers get bumped. At the hottest airports this summer, it's already happening. The hack costs nothing. Book the first flight of the day, because the morning air is coolest, which means more lift and the least chance you're the one left behind. And if your bag is one of the ones held back, that counts as delayed baggage. Before you leave the airport, file a report at the baggage desk and get the reference number, then keep the receipts for anything essential you buy while you wait, because those costs are usually reimbursable from day one. And if a heatwave ever bumps you off the flight yourself, you may be entitled to compensation too, so it's worth checking at AirAdvisor.com. #heatwave #traveltips #flying #summertravel #aviation #airporttips #flighthacks
