I have a friend coming to visit me in March next year and I need a very creative, funny and smart idea for an airport sign. I’m female, he’s male. I’m English, he’s French.
He’s super logical but with a very good sarcastic sense of humor. Loves Star Wars, old songs and videography.
Any ideas please 🙏🏻
(Last year my friend came to visit from Kenya and I made a sign for her that said “Finally, someone could make you come” - so I am not easily embarrassed in public)
So yung nga may pa costume ganap namin as fairy and yung wings ko is wired (made of alambre yung frame) checking to confirm if ok lang to at maitatawid ba sa airport??? Domestic flight Ceb-Cdo.
Hey all! I’m going back to Europe from the States and I was wondering if I would have any issues with getting a wine at the duty free shop at JFK and put it in my backpack/carry on. Can they take it away when I go back to Europe? I’d have 1 stop as well, but with the same airlines. Thanks a lot, I’m not a frequent traveler.
I have a pen that has a small blade instead of the pen tip. It's for art and cutting paper. Would it be allowed to put this in carry-on?
Hy everyone, i’m leaving from charlotte at 16:20 p.m. on the 16th and i’ll be landing at JFK terminal 4 at 18:36 p.m. I’ll board a flight to Milan, Italy from the same terminal at 19:45 p.m. This means that my layover is approximately 1 hour and 9 minutes. Do you think that i’ll be able to make it? which controls and security i’ll have to go through even if it’s the same terminal?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to land at 12pm at IST on Friday, January 3rd, and have to check my luggage with another airline. That flight leaves at 2:55pm. Do you think I’ll have enough time to make it for my 2:55pm flight after clearing customs, collecting my luggage, and then checking my luggage again with a different airline? Appreciate the advice!
Quick question about the airport since this is my first time going and to anyone who been to this airport in FL. My online boarding pass I have that I am assigned Gate 242 Zone 3 but on their website they have my airline and time as Gate C236 is this a error or is my zone number connected to why I am gate 242 help would be appreciated even if nobody been at this airport. Airline im going on is Aeromexico too.
So for international airports, generally speaking in the US and in Europe, how much mAh is acceptable for a power bank? I recently came from Taiwan and they confiscated my hand carry Power Bank of 20,000 mAh. I read somewhere that the typical limit for most places was 27k so I felt quite confident.
We left my daughter’s diaper bag in the pick up area and it had her blankey in it. Every website I click on to submit a claim is redirecting me to pay to make the claim. We are from Baltimore, and just realized we left it upon arriving home.
If anyone has experience with their lost and found- or have any advice on where else I can ask to get information- please help!
Signed,
A mom of a crying toddler wanting her blankey to go to sleep tonight 😭
So im going for a vacation to see my dad who lives on a boat in Saint-Martin and he needs some parts because there like 10x the price over there so its cheaper that i just bring him the piece. The thing is that it looks suspicious with wires coming out and everything. What do i do ? (Bringing on a carry-on)
It looks like this and it makes me nervous to bring it because it kinda looks like an IED...
Does anyone know if Glasgow Airport has changed its liquid rules yet? Travelled through Edinburgh recently and they have but not sure about Glasgow and I’m travelling hand luggage next week so would be helpful to know if anyone has travelled recently can tell me. Thanks so much.
So i'm 17 and will be going on the plane to germany in a few weeks. Im thinking about buying a 4k hayati to bring with me on the holiday. My mum is 100% against vaping and if she had ever seen me with a vape she would lose it 😭. Is Manchester airport strict or will they take it out at security?? because i really do not want to get caught by my mother trying to bring a vape on holiday..
p.s. before i get told off in these comments, I am quitting vaping i've reduced how much I vape very much and have been focusing on playing sports more🤙⚽️
I’m going to Barbados flying from the uk in a few months and I want to know if I can bring a vape or snus with me as I’m underage and I don’t want my parents to find out any tips thanks .
What are all these weird water brands that I have never heard of? I’ve only ever seen them at airports. One of them is just called H2O? Can’t seem to find your typical water bottle brands anymore.
Hello there. If I book a multi city flight and I miss the first flight will the others flights get cancelled?
I know when it’s the same flight ex: Lis - Lon - Vegas if I miss Lisbon then all the other flights will be cancelled. But what about when it’s not a connection. Ex : Dublin - London ( miss this one )
London - Vegas
Vegas - London
London - Dublin
Hello, Question is in the title. Does anyone know a lounge with showers at Mexico City Airport (Mex) that you can enter just for payment without being member in any program like PriorityPass? Preferable in terminal 1?
on friday I have a flight from Poznan to London-Stansted, with school and I just wonder if I can take the vape (no external battery) through security. Do they need to prove my age or something? Do they need to take out the vape from the hand luggage? Im not an adult so that’s what i’m worried about. ps I didn't ask for your opinion on vaping at this age
I was flying from St Martin versus Paris to Malaysia. The lady in St Martin airport told me my bags would be put on my connecting flights but they haven't. I was supposed to recheck them in at Paris . Bags are still in Paris , I'm in Malaysia what can I do to get my bags back .
So I booked flights for my parents to visit me in Tokyo, they’re flying from Vilnius. I made a mistake in typing in my mom’s last name, sounds stupid, but for context men and women have different endings to their names in Lithuania.
For example, a male last name would be “Kazlauskas”, a female “Kazlauskiene”.
So my mom’s last name, I put the male version of her last name, which is a difference of 3 letters at the end of the name. Now I’m super worried that they’re not going to allow her to board the flight even though her passport info, DOB is all correct.
Contacted ANA, they said they can’t change the spelling and I’d have to buy a new ticket and lose $2000.
Do you think they’ll allow her on the plane? Or am I gonna have to buy a new flight.
I’m traveling from uk to Barbados in 3 months and I want to know if I can bring a disposable vape with me as I’m underage, I’m not going to use it on the plane or anything I just want to know how I to bring it with me thanks.
Recently flew with Porter Airlines for the first time. Morning flight was cancelled due to weather. An entirely new flight was created for the next day, and all passengers from the cancelled flight were rebooked to it. My companion and I really needed to arrive at our destination that night, so we decided to wait at the airport and see if we could fly standby on the upcoming evening flight.
The gate agents appeared about an hour before boarding began for the evening flight, which is when we approached them about flying standby. They were the same gate agents from earlier in the day. They said in order to put on our names on the standby list for the evening flight we would need to change our status to standby for the rebooked flight as well. So we would need to risk our status on the confirmed rebooked flight just for a chance at taking the evening flight. I'm curious if this has ever happened to anyone else? I've never flown standby before, but it didn't make any sense to me.
I don't really travel a lot, but when I do I just want to pass through customs as fast as I can, just because I don't really want to have a bad attitude as a first experience in a beautiful place. For instance, there was this time once that this guy at customs threw my passport back, pretty much annoyed cause I didn't understand him when he spoke to me in spanish, me being a native speaker. Anyway, something similar happened today, and I Just feel awful about that fact.
Anyway, Have you ever had any nice experiences of this?
I want to buy some alcohol for my in laws (i’m going from germany to italy with Ryanair) I need the precise rules about the amount of alcohol i can bring on board and what maximum alcohol ranking for an in hand luggage.
I’m traveling from the Midway Chicago airport this Monday and wondering how busy it will be and how much time I should budget to make sure I make it on a 5:00 am flight.
Since every airport seems to be different, and everyone wants to get through security quickly, why don’t they post a big sign that has security line rules? A big sign that you can see while in line, that says “Shoes, Not Belts” or “Shoes and belts and watches” or some variant of that. People could be ready before they even get to the trays. It’s so simple…
It is a ceramic snowman. I would take it either on my carry on or on my personal item bag. It's about 14 inches high by 8 inches wide.
Hi, I'm curious how long can I stay and roam around in the transit area before clearing the immigration checkpoint and taking my baggage.
I will be arriving to Incheon Airport (Seoul, South Korea) at 5.30am and I planned to chill, eat and roam around first before taking my bags/immigration checks as it is still way too early to go out. Is this allowed? And what's the maximum time limit we can stay in the transit area before clearing the immigration checks and taking my baggage.
Please help.. thanks!!
