Airport Staff – How regularly do people ask for free upgrades? Is this really still a thing in 2025? Being awkwardly British, I can’t think of anything more horrific than asking for a free upgrade. I was waiting to board a flight from Dublin to Seattle last year and some American bloke who was apparently in the Army was kicking off with the gate agent as they wouldn’t give him a free military upgrade. Needl…

Starship Explosion Cleaned Up By Islanders, Trump Traffic Screws Up Palm Beach Airport And China Makes Jet Fuel In Space In This Week’s Beyond Cars Roundup A Space X test flight went spectacularly wrong last month when the Starship craft exploded in the skies above the Caribbean. The explosion littered the sky with debris and looked fresh from a Michael Bay film, but the fallout has been less glamorous for the residents of one tropical island nation who have been left cle… Read more…

Why does Avianca airlines in El Salvador specifically, not allow you to bring water bottles you purchased in the airport on the plane? This is the most ridiculous thing ever. I understand why you can’t bring water from home and bring it on the plane as it could have anything in it but you would assume that water that the airport sells, would be safe to bring on the plane? For reference, I’m travelling from El Salvador to Canada. EDIT: This is AFTER the first initial security c…

Stranded at India’s Delhi Airport and “Forced” to by a new ticket. Both airlines (Virgin and Indigo) involved and Amex won’t reimburse me. What should I do? This is my first airport situation, which I can say is quite fortunate that I’ve lived so long without one. I booked a round trip ticket with Amex on my platinum from the USA to India and back. I had to take Virgin Atlantic from London, England, to Delhi, India. We had a one hour delay and when I landed, I had less than an hour to get to my dome…

Pay Dispute Leaves California Airport Without Air Traffic Controllers Mere days after Trump gutted the FAA and one of the worst aviation disasters in over 20 years occurred in U.S. airspace, chaos could be looming at another airport on the West Coast. A Northern California airport will lose its air traffic controllers after workers and airport officials couldn’t come to an agreement… Read more…

Shirtless through airport airport security? I know it’s normal to be asked to remove coats when going through airport security, but I have never been asked to remove hoodies before. Today, I was wearing a light zip-up hoodie with nothing underneath (yes, please don’t judge 😅). When going through security, I was asked to remove my hoodie and put it in the bin. I told the agent I was not we…

Does it make sense to leave the checked-in area of Singapore Changi Airport to see the Jewel 3 hours before my flight? I have a 5 hour layover in Singapore Changi airport on Sunday. I really want to see the Rain Vortex (waterfall) at the Jewel, and I am aware that I would need to leave the “checked in” area to go to the Jewel, and then re-go through security afterwards. The problem is, I’ll be arriving at Singapore Changi at 8:00am, but the Rain Vortex doesn’t t…

2h 20min layover in Istanbul airport enough? Thinking of getting the following flights: Kayseri (1820) to Istanbul (2000) on Turkish Airlines (TK2019) Istanbul (2220) to Heraklion (2345) on Aegean Airlines (A3435) This will involve a 2h 20min layover. Is this enough? Looking at comments from previous threads, this seems to be cutting it quite close given the size of the airport. However,…

It’s About Time Our Government Finally Reflects the Real America—An Airport Terminal at 10 a.m. on a Weekday Finally, and not a moment too soon, our government will look, smell, and act like the real America. Not an Ivy League college campus, not a melting pot of immigrants striving to achieve the American dream, but instead an endlessly replenishing stream of shout-talking men outraged that people with disabilities or families with children who are of…

Serious question: is there a worse airport than CDG? I’m traditionally kind of an airline apologist – all things considered it’s pretty wild we can hop on a rocket and cross the globe in a day, and there are certainly worse things than difficult travel logistics. But is there a worse overall airport than CDG? I’ve traveled quite a bit but every 5-6 years I fall into the “it isn’t as bad as I remem…
