      Vry good info and nice choice for the luggage! I'm convinced that the wide handle is best as it lets you have a flat bottom and gives more usable packing space. While it doesn't have a good slip-on trolley bag spot, the flat bottom and more packing space more than makes up for that!

      I enjoy watching your TH-cam videos and all the knowledge you have for us travelers. Especially when you’re like me and you only fly once or twice a year
      I love the level eight luggage what an awesome idea as a giveaway 🎅
      Enjoy your journey in life and blessings for 2025…

    In Aug my flight with air Canada was delayed just over 6 hours. I applied online for the compensation and got the e-transfer in just under 3 weeks. Crazy considering my whole flight and hotel package to las Vegas was $568 total. I got $700 in compensation so my trip was free lol.

    I’m curious how they will enforce the “families must sit together” rule… Will single passengers be forced to change seats after purchase? If a single person pays for seat selection and is moved to accommodate a family, do they get the seat selection fee back?

    • @tmoore1144
      @tmoore1144 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      That was my thought too. Too many Click Bate stories on social media about someone paying for a specific seat, then asked to move for a family that booked last minute wanting the 1st person's seat.

    The lack of no longer getting your passport stamped is a little disappointing but, it also prevents you from not having enough empty pages and being refused entry.

    • @PortableProfessional
      @PortableProfessional  4 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      True, especially for those who travel a lot! I will still miss the stamps🙁

    • @matthewnirenberg
      @matthewnirenberg 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      If you want stamps and the experience of running out of pages, just visit Palau as often as is legally possible. On entry, all tourists get the Palau Pledge stamped on an entire page and then you get to do something that happens nowhere else, the border guard orders you to sign and date your acceptance of the pledge (yes its the one time you can legally write in your passport). This happens every time as the pledge is unique to each entry. Or, you can just spend a lot of time and money getting visas to countries and filling the pages that way.

    Years ago (actually decades ago) I had an international flight that was delayed 8 hours. It was actually a blessing in disguise. The trip to the airport on a normal day was 45 minutes, but a freak snowstorm hit (mid-April) and the drive to the airport took 5 hours! I was happy for that delay.

    Truly hope online applications work! Last time I did my mail in application, I was notified by State Department that they did not receive my expiring passport about a month after I sent the old passport, form, money order ( application office credit card processing unit did not work.) I
    I went back to the passport office with a post office connected. Both offices’ clerks had verified that my package was complete. However, I had destroyed previous acquired passports since I had moved a few times within that 9+ years, I had to apply for a naturalization certificate with a hefty fee, US$550, office visits for fingerprinting and form, certified mailing. That was in Mar 2022. In Aug 2022 I received my new and old passports in mail. And I had to wait a few more months to receive my naturalization certificate. So I really really want this online application process work!

      Get some whilst you still can. There's still a few countries that use stamps. Otherwise your only option will be to apply for visas to countries in order to fill the pages and collect visas (something not many people try to do. Being born with multiple citizenships and only traveling where I have full rights, I haven't had a single stamp in any of my passports for the last 20yrs, that was until I visited Palau and they used their stamp which contains the Palau Pledge - it takes a whole page and gives you a special experience as its the only time you can legally write in your passport as the border guard orders you to sign and date the pledge for your entry to be valid.

    Is it ESS, or EES?

      Entry Exit System - >EES

      EES. My mistakes, the information is still correct. Thanks for watching!

    Definitely going to miss the stamping of the pages in the passport. It’s a paper trail that could be important in certain situations I feel.
    All the electronic stuff can malfunction at times.

    Can you do a video addressing the requirement Spain is imposing for travelers entering the country to provide banking/credit card information? Is this just Spain or across the EU? And how does this comport with the EU’s usually very strict rules on data privacy?

    • @PortableProfessional
      @PortableProfessional  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As far as I am aware giving additional information is only a requirement of Spain. Great suggestion for a future video. Thanks!

    Megan - excellent video but you should also include the new UK ETA requirement - it is required for entry beginning on Jan 8, 2025. Best completed using the UK ETA app on your smartphone.

    Hopefully all of the TSA systems get updated. I have a real ID, passport and military ID. I was using my military ID and it was accepted by the ticket agent at LAX to check bags but wouldn't scan at TSA for some reason. Thankfully I was coming back from Mexico and had my passport with me.

    Although this may have changed with the "Final Rule," each airline often had its own rules about compensating for delays. One of the airlines used to offer a meal voucher if the flight was delayed over two hours (possibly United). JetBlue had a schedule of how much it would pay for delays of a specific length. These individual airline rules vastly differ across carriers, so you have to ask if you can get something based on your situation. A free meal is better than nothing!

    I wonder how that ... families flying together ... is going to work. Seats fill up fast, and it's usually the middle seats available for last-minute bookers. Are the airlines going to move other passengers to allow families to fly together?

    • @brenda5511
      @brenda5511 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      That’s one of my questions as well - I’d be pretty upset if I paid for a seat, only to be bumped by a family who bought their tickets after I did.

    • @dmitripogosian5084

      The same way it worked until the recent times ? It was inconceivable not that long ago that families would be seated separately.

    I just did the USA renewal online in mid November and yes you must meet each and every one of those criteria. Also it says 4-6 weeks but it only took me 3 weeks from the day they say have your application not the day that you actually submit the application. it was only 2 days after i submitted my application.

    The fact that you're actually Canadian snuck into your use of the Canadian term "Social Insurance Number" rather than "Social Security Number". (The equivalent number in the UK is called the National Insurance Number.)

    Beginning October arrived in Bangkok and got a stamp. 4 weeks later left Bangkok and it was all automatic. Things can change quick.

    • @dmitripogosian5084
      @dmitripogosian5084 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It maybe a difference between entrance and exit. In Korea you get a sticker on entrance, and then on exit it is automatic (and in US there is no exit control altogether)

    • @StevanOutdoor
      @StevanOutdoor วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@dmitripogosian5084 That's possible but for me it was a change. Earlier this year visited Thailand and got an entrance and exit stamp. Last October only entrance and exit was fully automatic. I'm not saying it's a bad thing perse but it was new to me.

    I’m curious how ETIAS would affect American citizens living abroad? I’ve been in Iceland for 7 years now. I don’t have an Icelandic passport (as I’m not a citizen), but I don’t have an have a residency permit. Works great for entry into Iceland, but would this be an issue for travel elsewhere?
