And then after they finished the checks on luggage they took only my passport and made a copy of it. 🤷🏽‍♂️😅 Any idea w…

How doable or difficult is going to Heidelberg on a 12-hour layover in Frankfurt Airport? I have a 12-hour layover (flight lands at 5:50 am and departs FRA at 5:35 pm) in Frankfurt airport onwards to Seoul, and was wondering how doable it would be to go to Heidelberg using the train.

Airports also have these usually near the restaurants and gift shops. Many of these things are tourist attractions but sometimes you find stuff that is off your radar. submitted by /u/bluegambit875

The ATM in the baggage hall only dispenses €20 notes. Great job! Late at night s…

Take, for example, the car broker highlighted in a recent Atlanta News First article. He was flying from Washington, D.C. to Sacramento,… Read more…

Does anyone actually pay for priority pass/airport lounge access? Like outside of/separate from having that included on a credit card or other perk. Just curious, as I don’t see the point to pay for it when you could effectively get it for free or much lower cost/greater value through a credit card or something. submitted by /u/ClassyPants17
