Extending your journey even a second longer can seem unbearable after hours of flying, TSA checks, and sprinting through terminals with your luggage.

Traveler Lindsay Mukaddam (@onegirlwandering) recently posted a video on Tik Tok about how to overcome the endless wait to be picked up at the airport. The video already has 1 million views and almost 14,000 likes.

Her advice is as follows: "Go to the departure level if the arrival level is completely full of cars, because then the person picking you up can get up here without any problems and won't have to wait in line."

It is noted that the life hack concerned the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, where the author of the video was staying. According to its rules, you can indeed pick up a passenger on the upper (arrival) or lower (departure) levels of the terminal building.

However, not all users were positive about this life hack. For some, it seemed like a common trick that made other passengers suffer.
