    Nice video, but gate agents do not direct you to your seat. When you board the plane the FA will direct you to your seat, usually they will tell which aisle to walk down. Your seat number is printed on your boarding pass, will have a number for the row and a letter for your seat. Above the seats on the the overhead bins will show the row and seat numbers. Gate agents will just verify your boarding pass and let you board the plane. Also in regards to passports make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your trip.

    • @masterm537
      @masterm537 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @Kashafkhan2014 yes i can. As soon as you arrive in Dubai. When you leave the plane look for the sign which says "Connected flights". Follow that it will lead you to security and eventually a lounge area where you also can find that flight schedule for your flight to Pakistan. Just look for the flight time, destination and airline. Once you found it you'll see the gate number and than you are good to go.

    Great video, really helpful! Ok, so I check in from my computer in my house 24 hours before my flight. Then, at the airport, fist step is to go to my airlines, but why? To get the boarding pass? If not, then why to go to the airlines? Then, I have to go to the check-in bag computer located in the area of my airlines. Then, security. Then, look at the monitor to see which gate, go there and sit, and wait to call you. After arriving, go to pick your check in luggage. Go to customs and immigration. Free to go!

    Having precleared at Dublin, do I go DIRECTLY to my connecting flight on landing in america or will I have to go through it all again?

    • @mytravelonadime
      @mytravelonadime  ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends if it's one itinerary or two separate tickets. For separate tickets, you usually collect your baggage and repeat the entire process. If your point of entry is the only immigration point in the journey, you will need to clear the immigration as well. But for the tickets on a single itinerary, you can directly connect to your next destination. Hope this helps :)

      You will have done customs and immagration checks at Dublin so your flight will be treat as a domestic one when you land in America you may be required to go for further security screening when you change but you don't have to worry about Customs and passport checks. Bags should be checked all the way to your destination if it's on one ticket

      This will depend on two things. If your entire trip is one itinerary, you will collect your luggage in Italy. If you booked your tickets separately or if there is a layover of more than 24 hours, then you will need to do immigration in Doha, collect your luggage and check in again for Italy. Confirm what your tickets say and accordingly get your visa. Also check out my other video on how to answer immigration questions at the airport. Hope this helps. Good luck
