- You probably didn't Know this about Airports! If you are frequently traveling, you might already know some secrets and facts about the design of airports and how you can travel much faster than most passengers using airline advice. When it comes to travel hacks, the first big thing you can save sometimes is the airport security check and the TSA, if you planning ahead you can save a good amount of traveling time. Did you know that airports use specific fonts so itÄs easier for you to read the signs?

The "2 hour rule" explanation in this video I'd take caution around. Arriving early is really to ensure passengers leave enough room for unexpected events occurring on their way to or at the airport. Think backed up traffic due to an accident or a system malfunction at airport check-in. The earlier people leave their homes and get to the airport the more likely flights will depart on-time and the more likely the airport continues to run smoothly.
Or the 100 people between you and security that are NOT security ready!
I agree. I fly at least once yearly and when I plan to arrive 2 hours early I'm not stressed and I'm prepared if there's some delay or problem.
Especially these days with the backlogs at all the major airports due to lack of available staff. In fact, I would actually like to get there with a good 4 hours minimum and depending on the time of day or year that might not even be enough.
@@h.g.wellington2500 Exactly
And airplanes are often overbooked so the earlier you check-in the better, that way you are guaranteed to have your seat.
I've always followed the "get there 2 hours early" rule (suggestion). Living in LA for 40 years, you have to assume that it will take you all of the 2 hours (and then some) for travel time and getting through security. I left 4 hours early during rush hour and made it to the gate just when they had made the final boarding call. Too much stress and drama for my taste. Being an AV Geek, I don't mind being at my gate extra early. I'd much rather be way too early than to be sitting in traffic or a ridiculously long security line and be stressing about it.
I'm with you on this
Ditto
Exactly CFF! Too much to leave to What If?! Have had the drama of flying down the highway, zipping thru tolls, running thru terminals, only to have the gate close in my face and I watch as the plane backed up and powered away. ONLY ONCE, that happened in 45 yrs of flights! Never again, since that incident of 30+ years ago. Now? Like you, the earlier I arrive the better to casually stroll thru airport to my gate, do some major people watching, buy NOTHING, we’ll maybe 1 beer. 😊 Sit there and laugh at the levels of stress on just about everyone’s face! Entertaining! 😅
True, plus i enjoy sitting by the big windows and watch planes taking off and landing
Absolutely true!
Five hours early works for me. Absolutely no stress, plenty of time for any delay or grabbing a decent meal at even a slow restaurant. I enjoy people watching and whatever can be seen out of the concourse windows. It is never boring.
Getting there two hours early is a good rule of thumb because a simple car accident on the freeway to the airport can be unexpected and kill time you can't afford to spare. I missed a flight by leaving no wiggle room in my transit to the airport and my taxi got caught in a traffic jam caused by a serious accident, that held us up for 40 minutes. I got to the airport to see my flight ascending into the sky without me on it.
Last time I flew internationally, i was already at the airport 3 hrs before my flight and yet I almost miss it. Check in counters and immigrations are mostly the issue. 🙃
The 2 hour rule is still a good guideline for those 'oh crap' moments. I had a 9 hour layover on London recently with a few friends. Went out and cruised London. Came back 2.5 hours before the flight. It took about 2 hours to get through security and we were the last to load the plane as everyone else already loaded.
Definitely... especially when dealing with big hubs that have reputations for poor efficiency. If I end up with time to kill, well, that's the way it goes... better that than the anxiety over missing a flight. And I'm never tempted by the shops. I bring a book and wouldn't think twice about venturing into a shop with overpriced unnecessary baubles that I would have to end up carrying in already limited bag space.
Just gonna add to the 2 hour things.
I travel a bit and the whole 2 hours has always saved my ass. Once check in took 1h and 30mimutes and had barely enough time to bolt 1.5miles to my gate.
And recently at JFK airport newyork both times my lay over was 1sih hour and because of the size of the airport and almost missed both flights. 2 hours is important even in-between lay overs
Flying used to be fun. Now it sucks. I'm tall- 6'8". I set the cruise control at 78 mph, and I can be anywhere I want to be in 24 hours or less with legroom. Nobody coughing or sneezing on the back of my head, no being herded like cattle, no being stuck in the fetal position, no rude people, no government agent checking my papers. I can throw all my luggage/ fishing gear/ golf clubs, even Dogs in my truck, and go. Upon arrival I don't have to worry about lost or damaged baggage, or a rental car that I probably won't fit into. In 14 hours, I can leave the Gulf Coast and easily see the sunset on Lake Michigan with no hassle.
Wow, you have such a positive attitude..I've flown many times and have never been "herded like cattle," sneezed on, or worried about a "government agent" "checking my papers." TSA is not the KGB for crying out loud..get a grip.
Many airports are now saying three or four hours, and even then people are missing their flights. I would no longer recommend being less than 2 hours ahead, not with the chaos in travel these days! My last flight out took over 2 hours just at security, that doesn't count getting to security, finding the gate, etc.
I arrive 2 hours early and haven't missed a flight yet (knock on wood}
At the rate we're going and with the mess happening at airports, I might consider being there 12 hours before 😅
The 2 hours is a buffer in case something goes wrong. You know some idiot decides to pick a fight with the authorities, traffic goes wacky, etc. It just works out handy for the retailers.
2 hours in Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) is not enough, mainly if you’re going outside the EU.
The first nugget of knowledge is a maybe. I booked a flight for a friend and myself to SFO from the seattle area; we are flying out of a smaller airport that only has alaska flights and the cost was $120 less per person than the main airport!
If you want to leave it till the last minute before you check in . then don’t expect to see you luggage at your destination . There’s a reason for 3 hours check in before departure
Oh, very true! I'd also be concerned that my seat would be gone since they overbook.
I traveled for work for several years, used to be rather fun I would often get the whole row as there were frequently empty seats back then. Meet people in the smoking area, got tons of free tickets and upgrades, membership to the Crown Room and other places. Used to be a lot of fun before that I flew with my parents a lot overseas. For a while they really had things running smooth. But now, I would not get on a flight unless flying First or Business class
Since nothing is by accident, I would love an explanation for the "artwork" at Denver.
Illuminati / cabal and tunnels and cities underneath. But you already knew that
Big, large windows at airport helps natural lights distress travellers, etc…..
So, that is reason for factories to have no windows at all, keeping employees stressed, under control. 👍
Pre-covid, 2 hours was usually more than enough at major airports worldwide, barring airline strikes or similar. Now, i think it's still a big mess at most airports...
I have spent the last 20 years travelling (for work) to a lot of different countries, and have had some very close calls with check-ins, but more than one case where connecting flights were missed because of late arrivals, causing ridiculously short transit time between flights
2 hrs between flights in transit at major airports is about the minimum I prefer because even this can disappear fast by the time you arrive late, get off the plane, go through another security clearance (e.g. transit in the Middle East), find the next gate (and/or change terminals), and maybe go through yet another security clearance to get into the gate waiting area itself (e.g. singapore, doha, abu dhabi, etc...).
Flying out of a large hub, is not necessarily cheaper. Flights out of Sacramento are usually cheaper than flying out of San Francisco, so is the parking. Always check surrounding airports.
It has to do with the market (as defined by the airlines), not the airport as such. When an airport is the only one in a small market with few flights, prices are high. When a market has lots of flights, the prices are low. The big hubs draw lots of flights into a market, resulting in lower prices in the market. (Example from my past: when United and Continental hadn’t merged yet, Baltimore was serviced by Continental, and it considered it a separate market from DC (Dulles and National). When the airlines merged, they also merged the Baltimore and DC markets, and the prices fell.)
It’s true for international travellers
A hearty agree with Sac as the best option, even for people out of the Bay Area.
Never ask a TSA Agent out on a date to the airport food court.
Like on a Highway, please keep to the Right if you have stopped walking when you reach a Moving Sidewalk. Travelers seeking to make a Connecting Flight can reach their Gate in time. That really made the difference for me once.
Then, you use your voice, left, left, left……like we do on a bike path when you pass a walker or a slower cyclist.
@@ImportedFromSerbia Well, "passing on your left" or "on your left" is more common for where I'm from and at least they are often two or more abreast because they are being social with the person next to them. No, I'm talking about the people who come to a complete stop when something does the work for them.
I yell “sorry please move I’m late”!!!
Can't agree that an airport taxi is the safest and cheapest way to travel. In my 40+ trips to Europe, I almost always use the trains/metros instead and have never had a problem.
Duty free shops shopping is reasonable in other countries because of higher sale tax. In the US, sale tax is lower, plus you will find product cheaper in a store outside of airports.
I’ve traveled around the world for decades, and didn’t know some of these things. Thank you. Very informative, and well-researched.
You arrive at the airport and check in early because the Airlines tend to overbook their flights
Smaller airports may cost more but think about your time going and coming and traffic . Take account for parking or Uber
yes, and the cost of a shuttle bus to get to the bigger airport.
Well…. Two hours early very often is just enough and on a quick pace especially if one takes a cheap flight which is usually really far!!! Nowadays one doesn’t really have enough time to stop and shop unless it’s a long layover or if one goes really ahead of time….
Thank you very much for this information.
People usually carry bags in their non-dominant hand so as to leave the dominant hand free.
Good 👍🏽 Tips. Thank You 🙏🏾
Swiss fonts:
Helvetica, Fruttiger, Neue Haas, all used for signage.
My bottle water is frozen at home or where ever I am prior to my flight. If there just a little water from melting during transport from home/hotel to airport I make sure I drink it leaving nothing but ice
Really ! very useful information ! thanks for V D O !
Thanks for your information, sir 👍❤️
I always leave from the arrival level once I get my baggage. Traffic down at the departure level is often so packed, and with airport police no allowing your friends or family to sit and wait for you, only for loading, if you go to the arrival level there is far less traffic for them to reach you to pick you up.
I think you have arrival and departure backwards. I've also noticed that most airports force Uber pickups to be on the departure level rather than the arrival level with all the taxis, really throws you off the first few times.
@@Green__one you're right, I mixed them up. The top level is for departure and the bottom for arrival. Bottom level is usually packed with triple parked cars and traffic jockeying to get into any space they can. It's a nightmare.
Watch the Southwest Airline videos where people don't follow the two-hour rule. That's 50% reason there was a TV show. Always show up two hours prior on national flights and at least three hours early for international flights. I showed up an hour early once and was forced to pay for a flight change for twelve hours later.
2 hours is for smaller, quieter airports I pressume? At Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam) people arrived 4+ hours early and still missed their flight. It's an absolute chaos these days.
🥺🥺
We do not fly if possible through the US. It can increase the cost of travel insurance. Also, TSA and HS can send you home because you broke some forgotten visa rule or something similar. A lot of occurrences right now with Australians and some little known visa rule. For example an Australian flying to Canada through LAX and is sent home instead. It happened within the last couple of days a few times. Fly direct or avoid the US is my choice as their rules differ greatly from other countries. Amsterdam was a mess a month ago with labour shortages and luggage delays. We use 3 hours early for International. 2 hours early for in country or Schengen. Add an hour if you are going through CDG and have to go through customs. You can always be too late but it is hard to be too early.
I was a regular visitor to the U.S. pre 9/11 and it was generally a breeze Now with mass tourism it can be a nightmare so I don’t bother anymore. I’ve seen America in far better times so there’s no reason to go there now , plenty of other choices.
I can agree with that
I recently got to the airport 3hrs early after I had checked in online & made my way thru the lines took almost 2hrs & i get to the final security point & the TSA agent says there's a problem with my boarding pass. Had to go all the way back to the airlines desk which was packed. By the time they helped me & got me back to front of security i had about 15mins before my flight was scheduled to leave. Had to take the shuttle to another part of the airport & I seen them shut the door as I headed to the gate smh. The problem with my boarding pass....The Jr at the end of my name the cpu had a hissy fit for some reason first time thats ever happened & I fly that airline 95% of the time.
Thanks buddy 🙌🏻💯🍻🍻 good lookin out !! Definitely a 👁 opener 😹😹
I agree about the first point about local airports and national hub airports. I live in SE England, and I have one local airport within 12 miles, and another within 20. I hate both of them. The amenities are almost nonexistent, getting into the car park is ridiculous, and they cannot manage queues.
I would far, far prefer to drive 50 miles to Heathrow Airport. I can book for off-airport parking. I go to the area indicated on the booking confirmation, and, within minutes, someone in uniform, recognising my licence plate number and correctly quoting my booking number, takes my car off-site.
There is a lift to the Departures area, and queues aren't bad for baggage drop. OK, Security is a drag, especially now that I have been on a very successful diet for three years, and I really need my belt on if I'm not to throw all my pairs of trousers and underpants away. But, once past Security, it all opens up. Get a bottle of duty free, then move to an airport lounge (one perk my company gives me is a maxed-out Priority Pass card), so I can relax and get a reasonable breakfast before I fly.
The experiences are poles apart.
I was able to tell my black luggage apart from the rest because of a plenty of cat scratches. I was so happy my cats had scratched at that point
LOL
yes it can take you 2 hours to go through security .happened to me last month in Finland
"Nothing at an airport is an accident!". I beg to differ! Everything at Grenoble airport seems to be an accident...
3:50 Except at DFW International Airport. Arrivals are upstairs and departures are downstairs. Except in terminal D its reversed from terminals A,B,C,E.
The 2 hour rule is also important these days because the airlines are so screwed up you want t o make sure you get on your plane
Good info :)
Airports have become so good and smart and happy comfortable places these days. Traveling can be very stressful and airports high anxiety areas. Aircraft interiors need a makeover now
If you never disassembled an aircraft's passenger interior you will never know the pain. Oh, by the way, the worst area is not totally the laboratory, it's where those trays that are hidden inside those armrests are; where the puke hids. Wrap your tray top off.
One problem - airports have become glorified shopping malls, trying to relieve people of their money while charging double the price. And except for a bottle of water, ( to keep yourself hydrated) a glass of wine or beer and maybe something to eat, what else could there possibly be to buy, remember you are wasting money that you could have on your trip. Stores in airport are basically a scam.
I gave my brother a reusable water bottle that "folded flat" with a filter in the lid so that he could refill it from the tap no mater where he went and be sure that the water was safe to drink. It cost me $25 and was a promotional item so was about 1/5 the price that they normally sell for - people take them camping as you can refill it from water from a stream and as you drink it using the filter in the lid the water becomes safe.
He had it empty when he went through security in the airport in Beijing China and security still confiscated it - he stated that they were confiscating all drinking containers and that included all bottles and cans of drink... even water bottles... even the empty ones.
That was about 11 years ago.
I am still unhappy with the security person who ordered that to occur
If he had forgotten to empty it and they had confiscated it because of this I would not be feeling so disappointed in the stupidity of humanity... it would have been an accident and they happen.
The security guard at 1:30 is wearing the American Flag backwards on their right shoulder.
(The stars should be at the front, as though a flagbearer were moving forward)
You've made 2 errors on the price of a bottle of water. $5 was the price about 10 years ago at De Gaul in Paris. Today I've heard of $8 for a half liter.
There is, however, at least one exception. Athens, Greece's airport has a maximum price of 50¢ (half a Euro) for a half liter. This is the law of the land throughout Greece.
I second that. Greece is a warm country (hot in summer), so water is not just something to keep you hydrated when (and if) you get thirsty. It’s something of vital importance, so having immediate access to plenty and inexpensive water is a strict law everyone has to comply with. That’s why even at airports half liter water can never, ever be more than 50 cents.
Exactly. That is why some shops in Athens Airport "hide" the half litre bottles, out of sight and out of the catalogue, so as anaware passengers might buy the more expensive water that is not regulated by the government
De Gaul? Oh come on!!! 🤦🏻♀️
I always wear a plastic belt and buckle,and I have never set any alarms off. Just cover it with a longer shirt. Also wear just simple slip on shoes. When it comes to laptops, I have velcro on the lid for a mifi unit, and this helps to keep an eye on it easier.
3 hours ahead of time is a must when you fly out of Delhi Airport. The queue in immigration is unbelievably long! Sigh
The big electric signs with city names on them show the time of your flight normally 🤓
Get the app for your airline you can check-in usually 12-24 hours ahead of time. Digital boarding passes are a plus. Also I travel with a smart watch and can use that for boarding passes.
Interesting! & ty ☕🍯🍶 & Good morning, !
Well it depends on the airport. Son airports take awhile to get through security. I left my home and made it to tge airport 2 hours early. I waited in security line for over an hour. Then getting to the gate was an issue. It happens everytime I fly.
DON'T get a taxi at "arrivals" if arrivals and departures are at different places. The thieves will assume you're ignorant and try to jack up the price or say "flat fee into the city!" which is far higher than the metre. Go to the departure entrance and get an empty cab there. They will take you because they're empty and not making money at that point.
Interesting and good to know.
Took me a long time to get through security in Sydney…..I had 1 hour to get to my domestic connecting flight and barely got to my gate in time. 2 hours is a great idea. Same when flying out of Canada to lax to get to Australia….I had to leave one terminal and go back through security at the international terminal and it was crazy busy….I’d rather not have the stress of risking a missed flight on the chance I might be tempted to shop if I arrive early
A punishment you didn’t come early to unload some $$ at airport.😁
When I was in Sydney coming from LAX they kept us in an international terminal that had no exit and no place to smoke
Always make sure you schedule your transfers at least 60-90 minutes in case od delays
I work at an major airport on the west coast of the USA and we are all told to BOLO for anything that might threaten the security of the airport and that is mandatory for us to do. If we find something that might threaten airport security we have to immediately inform our airport security personnel so keep this in mind the thousands of airport staff of every job for every company that is in an airport is apart of the security apparatus of the airport at least for USA airports that I know of (this includes flight staff and pilots that commute to an airport to start there shifts and while not on shift when on airport property). Also even if an employee is not a duty while on property it’s mandatory you act as apart of the security apparatus of the airport and always bolo for anything that might be a threat to airport security and if you find something report it immediately to the proper authorities
I like the narration 😉
I remember when airports did not have the visual indications of a police state. I further remember when there even was no basic security check.
Only time I'm on a plane is if I have to cross an ocean, even the when I visited Australia. I drove from Melbourne to Perth, and back to Brisbane. I just like driving, but I LOVE riding a motorcycle.
Good stuff..Thanks...I'll add to the 2 hour rule... June 2022 .. 2 hours may not be enough..with canx flights etc.. Again..thx for the N-fo!
It is the three hour rule If you are checking your bag,carry ons can get between 1-2;hours before the flight,however the gate could change
Love to learn something new.
I always found US airports boring there’s nothing to do for the three hours your are there for international flights. Love London Heathrow terminals lots to do there and you could easily miss your flight if you don’t watch the time
The system is different. Everything here that don’t contribute to revenue is obsolete, downgraded, while in Europe it is about a level of quality.
I walk around a lot, killing my legs, making easier handling long flights.
This is so WRONG. At the moment in the UK for instance people are taking 3 hours and longer to get through check in and security many missing their flights.
Hurray for Brexit....
going to a new airport I do an internet search about the time they suggest to be there. OKC is smaller & when flying I do the 2 hour rule. Last May we flew out of Rome. Search suggested 3-4 hours. Since we had to take a train from Termini we decided on 4 hours & we made it fine. The Rome airport is expanding and I think we walked more there than at JFK!!!
Most of this is BS. People do not read signs they will stop some one in a uniform and ask first. I always pointed at the sign they did not read,. Yes it cat take two or more hours at larger airports and mostly at hubs where many flights come and go at the same time. It takes time for checking in bags and getting through security and even the pros turn into idiots when they travel with family. TSA persons do talk and its more to inform you of what to do or calm you down. The BDOs you spoke of you may not even know them and by the way all airports follow the same rules and procedures as they are trained by TSA. and Only in the USA will you get searched by a woman if you are a woman and a man if you are a man But other countries may not be that way as I was patted down by a woman. As for exchanging money do it at your bank before you travel, You may have to request it a day or two ahead sand if you do need extra cash I recommend using Western Union money in minutes to wire yourself some cash the fees may be a lot less then the ATM fees that both the ATM charges and your bank charges. If you do have to use an ATM withdraw the maximum amount because the fees will be the same no mater what the amount and ATMs often offer a choice of exchange rates meaning you can choose your own banks rate which most of the time a better rate then the banks that own the ATMs. Avoid Duty Free shops they can be a rip off and are not always really "duty free" also do not fall for buying souvenirs at the airport as they can be 5 times the price of an outside shop. Not only am I an expert traveler having traveled for 11 years for work (73 countries) and working in airports for more then 20 years so yes I know what I am talking about. and one more thing if traveling out of your country . Do some research on scams and holidays in the places you are going and Uber and Lift are more often more expansive then a metered taxi. And if the Taxi quotes you a unmetered price they are rapping you of so move to the next taxy and make sure they use the meter
and here goes the cheapest ticket consumer, arriving 30 mins late, complaining of not being allowed to board, complaining of this and that upon boarding, complaining of not being served well... Complaining about ticket policies but carelessly read anything. Then would vent out of not getting all help he needs, but have never considered being early in the very beginning to avoid hussle and or flight delay due to late issues.
All this is a good reason why I don’t take commercial airlines. No place I need to be that badly.
It’s now taking more than 2 hours to get through check in and security.
Never take an un metered taxi at the airport
"It doesn't take two hours to go through security". He's obviously not been through Heathrow (LHR) in he past year. You need to book extra days at the start and end of your trip just get in and out!
I live my travelling life with a couple of key rules - avoid Heathrow, Paris CG and all American airlines like the plague.....
@@MichaelGGarry Avoid Amsterdam too🤣
@@bekind3050 I've always found Amsterdam to be fine! Maybe I've been lucky....
@@MichaelGGarry The immigration sucks in Amsterdam. 3 officers per 500 passengers. 😀
SUBSCRIBED !!!
There are airports where you get a train from the airport to the city (and then maybe take a taxi - if you have luggage). Generally places where the taxi is a lot more expensive than the train.
Examples I can think of offhand would be Singapore, London, Tokyo (Narita anyway), Hong Kong, Amsterdam.
Obviously, the US is pretty bad for this (maybe the BART at San Francisco?)
I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and never used Bart to get to SFO. It's there but not useful if you're going anywhere other than the Peninsula or SF. Bart can also be used for Oakland International. When I've travelled elsewhere, the Light Rail was super convenient for MSP and the T was great for Boston. Quick and easy for both.
MCO in Orlando ARRIVE 3hours early and eat before you go
What does MCO stand for?
@@kuocdo1010 I don’t know what MCO stands for but it’s Orlando international Airport
First few seconds is erong. Flying from major hubs is often not cheaper (ever). I've seen prices cheaper flying from small airport then changing planes in major hub cheaper than flying from the major hub - on the same outbound outbound flight yet. I've found this more often than not.
Unless if you have TSA precheck, you get free time if your lucky.
Thanks
I’ve never seen a “water renewal station” at any US airport.
30$ Taxi ride. In Zürich Switzerland this the price for handshake of the driver. I trip downtown is normally about 60$.
And is not even a long trip. But you are in Switzerland so you about 10 trains per hour to Zürich center.
It doesn’t take 2 hours to go through security. It once took me over 1 hour at Frankfurt Airport😩 and I was in transit. I think the 2 hour rule is mainly to avoid too many people checking in/ clearing security at the last minute.
We had a really long wait years ago at Newark. And a long one at CDG. I’m so relieved when I get through security that arriving early doesn’t seem that bad in comparison.
You'll need significantly more time than 2 hours if flying out of Toronto's Pearson airport these days while various levels of government and assorted airlines all point the finger of SNAFU at each other. Meanwhile for the poor passengers caught in the middle of this clusterf**k is just more of, Round and Round the Merry go Round goes... Budget a minimum of a wing, a prayer and 3 1/2 to 4 hours of your time to even begin to feel safe at making your departure on time.
In the Philippines, it is much better to get a Grab (like an Uber service) than the airport taxi. It is much cheaper. Thank me later
Unless your me and still can't read big fonts :-) PDX is all carpeted. But they are doing major renovations so who knows what they are doing up there.
recently I wait about 3hours at the Canadian airports. both ways, in and out
1:00 that's why I put orange duct tape on my suitcase
I’m sorry to say I clicked the like button until the very end.
You will Miss your flight in LAX because of our traffic you need to give 3 hour early.even to get terminals it took us an hour being stuck.the worst day when they moved uber and lyft it was a zoo.I grew up in Santa Monica the 405 can be parking lot and Pch to.Its because there several aerospace and factory get out 24/7.Some Aerospace gets Friday offs.
I have yet to see an airport where I clear check in and security and still have enough time to shop
When you pack your bags always make certain that all old destination tags that are on or in your bags have been thrown away. Many of them have computer chips that are read by a reader every step from the ticket counter to your plane. If you have more than one on or inside your bag it confuses the computer and your bag will spend the day going round and round the check luggage x-ray. At the end of the night when everything is turned off your bag will finally be diverted into a holding area, hours after you have landed.
NEVER put your name and address on a tag on the exterior of your bag. Just like everywhere else there are thieves at the airport. If your traveling from Los Angeles to Dublin you are basically telling people that you will be gone for a week and here is my home address if you want to rip me off. Instead get two of the bag tags provided by your airline and put your name and phone number on it. One on different sides of your bags. Tags get torn off by the machinery they ride on to your plane so this is very necessary. What you need to do is get a big piece of paper and write your name, address, phone number and the airline you are traveling on. Place this in the middle of your bag so that if your destination and name tags are torn off there is a way to reach you. If there are no destination or bag tags on your luggage it will be routed to a TSA baggage check room. Although it is not their job they will do their best to find out your name and what airline you are on. If there is no identification in your bag they can do nothing to help you. At LAX alone there are over 50 airlines and they do not have enough time to go up to every airline to see if anyone remembers the generic black bag in their work area.
At my airport we have a huge room filled with old bags that have been lost. Some of them have been sitting in storage for over twenty years.
Atl needs 1.30 to clear
Dead bodies are shipped via commercial airlines ALL THE TIME. It is not unusual for a coffin (inside a shipping container) to be loaded onto your flight along with your luggage. I personally have loaded or unloaded plenty. Funeral homes ship bodies as well as cremated remains to each other all the time.
Comparing FIJI to Tap Water ?
The problem with stores is… they are always the same stores, and always crap stores! Terrible contents, terrible food!
I guess you haven’t flown from Newark recently.
You can bring a frozen water bottle through security. I love this idea because you will have nice cold water throughout your flight. When the flight attendant gives me water, I pour it into the empty space with the block of ice that is remaining in my bottle. I bring a nice big reusable water bottle, this also saves me money during my trip too!
This may be a US vs Europe thing, but here you can't bring a large water bottle through security, iced or not. You can only bring liquids in containers up to 100ml each. "Liquid" includes spreads, pastes, soft cheeses...
Water isn’t allowed through security.

As long as its frozen you’re good to go in the US
Are there bottles I’m not aware of that aren’t reusable?
@@gettingby There are bottles that aren't sealable, such as wine bottles (cork) or beer bottles (cap).
Is this Stanley Roberts?
