Traveling through airports with kids (>3) is amazing. Historically my air travel was vacation with spouse or business. Lifetime miles pre kids was probably low couple hundred thousands. Once my kids could walk at a decent speed – 3, maybe 4, airports became a blast. They have so much fun. We usually go find a vacant (always!) escalator and run up in backwards. They are always making up games to pl…

Question about wheelchair assistance at airports (US) Brief backstory: I’m recently disabled. About 7 months ago I had emergency back surgery due to an injury that led to a severe case of drop foot and weakness on my right side. I have a brace for my right foot/ankle that I will have on me while traveling. I can walk for short distances, maybe up to 1000 feet(roughly) before my leg starts to get we…

Do you prefer silent airports (few to no announcements) or normal airports (with announcements: gates, boardings, flights etc.) Do you prefer silent airports (few to no announcements) or normal airports (with announcements: gates, boardings, flights etc.) An example of a silent airport would be is Dubai where there’s no announcements at all, or Schiphol in the Netherlands. When I was at Brussels and Heathrow back in 2012, they weren’t silent. We could hear announcements …

Dang! Yall were right about those currency exchange booths at airports. I just took a trip to germany and brought euros with me on the flight. My bank got me a pretty decent exchange rate. Well when I got to the airport for my return flight I decided to exchange what euros I had left for American dollars. I handed them €155. According to Google that should have been $163 usd, but I only got $136! That is an insane m…

What’s the deal with international airports not having, free, unlimited wifi? Hey all! I traveled this year to Antalya, Türkiye and India (New Dehli, Kochi, Leh) and was surprised and very frustrated with the fact that you can’t just easily connect to the wifi at the airport. Wtf! In Antalya you need to get to this kiosks and read your passport, just to get 30 minutes of internet. In New Delhi, they don’t have these kiosk…

Airports with transit tours I’ve flown to Incheon Airport (ICN) and had long 10+ hour layovers. I was able to avail the free transit tours and they took us to Gyeongbokgung, Myeongdong, Hongdae and the FIFA Stadium. I heard Dubai and Singapore have transit tours as well (not sure if they’re free tho) Can y’all suggest more airports that offer transit tours (free if possibl…

Why are we still sleeping on the floor at airports? I took a redeye from Seattle to Charlotte this weekend and had 3 hrs to kill for my layover. Sleeping on the cold hard floor with blinding lights and constant announcements is the best I could do for some sleep. How are there not more options for a decent sleep at major airports? How about replace one of the random luggage or clothing stores …

Airports Want To Make Travel More Miserable By Letting Anyone Into The Terminal Imagine, going to the airport and through all the indignities of security just to eat at the P.F. Chang’s near gate B12 and then go home. Or better yet, imagine trying to get to your gate and having to deal with people just poking around and taking their sweet time while you have a flight to catch. Read more…

How often are flight boards incorrect at airports? As in, “go to gate” “boarding” “final call” My husband and I bicker every time we are at the airport; I want to be able to see the gate at all times incase the flight board is wrong, and he’s happy to order another beer 1 minute before the scheduled departure time if the board hasn’t updated. So can the flight boards be fully relied upon, or ho…

LPT: Uber or Taxi out of airports? Check your options I travel for work and I do not to pay for transportation out of the airport. However Coming into Newark and paying 118$USD (that is above 180 Canadian) for a 25 minutes Uber to Manhattan ride just defies the mind. Flying into LAX I had the same price going to DownTown LA with Uber. Basically 115 USD again. I took the shuttle bus to the taxi par…

U.K. Airports Hit by Flight Delays Over ‘Technical Issue’ Britain’s air traffic control agency warned of “flow restrictions” while it tried to find and fix a system fault, with long waits likely as a result.

is it common for airports to have a passport check desk just for citizens? i thought thats the norm and now came back to my home country (where im a citizen) after being away for a while and was baffled by a long line for passport control, since 5 flights landed at the same time, but in 3 of them the majority were foreigners. we asked if there was no separate desk for citizens, since usually checking our passports take…
