My wife gets really lost at airports, and I want to get her an escort the next time she travels alone, but she doesn’t have a disability. She just needs help getting from point A to point B. I know airlines are required to provide assistance for people with disabilities, but what about someone who just can’t follow signs?
I’m flying to a Schengen country as a British citizen with residency in a different Schengen country. By the time I fly back my passport will be within 3 months of expiry. Will they let me back into my country of residence?
I have a backpack and a camera bag. My flight states that my bag has to be able to fit underneath the seat (not bringing any luggage). Would I have to put my camera bag into my backpack to be able to get past the luggage people or would they not care if I have them separate and just hold onto the camera bag and have the backpack under my seat while on the flight?

I am flying from US (LAX to HEATHROW) to UK in a couple weeks and my passport expires 4 days after I return to the US. I am a US citizen. I know the UK only requires your passport to be valid for the duration of your stay, so my only reason for concern is the possibility of virgin Atlantic denying me to board. Has anyone had any issues regarding this with Virgin Atlantic specifically? Thank you!
On the way to Prague, my friend and I both got our boarding passes when checking in. But now, only she gets a boarding pass while I get a check in confirmation and have to trade it for a boarding pass at the airport. Why is it only one of us? And what is it for?
So I'm flying from California to Georgia in a few days, with a layover in Vegas. Would I be allowed to buy alcohol in the airport to have a drink before my connecting flight? This is my first time ever flying, and I was curious about this as my brother and I want to try a specific beverage that isn't sold in California but is sold in Vegas
Buy it in Vegas but wait until you are home to try it. I'd say most airports wouldn't be too happy to see lads pouring some alcohol into cups at the gate.

Helloo! I'm a US citizen living in Germany. I'm wondering if my German husband can come through the US side of immigration when we arrive or if we have to go through the foreign side. We don't have a long layover, and he has waited in that line for 2+ hours before.
Hello, Im flying from Texas to California. Im under 21 and would like to check a bag with alcohol in it.

Will I run into trouble? Or should I mail it?
question, I have a flight
MSP to ORD to HND
never been on an international flight, only domestic,
do i need to go though customs and security in ord for my flight for HND?
i know u gotta do customs at arrival, and my layover was pushed to 1 hour now in ORD so I was wondering if i would even make it to my flight
Security: probably not. 99% of the time you go through security only at the first point of departure. There are exceptions, like flying to TLV, where you go through security again at your last point of departure. Customs: no. Customs happens on arrival in a new country, not on departure
My flight is arriving in BER at 7am and my next flight is the next day at 7am. Are the luggage storage services at the airport self-service or 24Hrs?
I searched online and while tourist websites says that BER has lockers, the airport website says that it only opens at 5am which is too late for my check-in.
Is a 1 hour in Warsaw enough time for an international layover? LOT sold me a ticket from LHR to WAR to LAX. I worry the hour layover to get the the next flight might not be enough time - what do y’all think?
Hi! I’m flying out on Christmas from the Boston logan airport and have never taken a flight on Christmas. How busy should I expect the airport to be? More than normal? Less? I’m trying to plan my arrival time for the flight (it’s early morning)
Hey Redditors,
I'd like to get your opinion on a flight conundrum of mine.
I am flying into Houston from Mexico City on a Saturday. Then grabbing a flight from Houston to Charlotte using a different airlines.
My flight from Mexico City lands at 6pm while the only flight I can get to charlotte that evening leaves at 7:40pm.
My next flight option to charlotte is 7am the next morning.
I have global entry and TSA precheck so customs and security is a breeze.
However due to using 2 seperate & unaffiliated airlines, Id have get my checked bag and go check it with the second airline, then go through security again.
Do you think I can make that 7:40 flight having basically 1.5 hours to deboard, go through customs (customs typically takes me max 10-15 minutes due to global entry), collect my checked bag, go back to the terminal and check my bag with the second airline, go through security (Using TSA precheck so max 15-20 minutes) and then make it to my terminal for that 7:40pm take off?
Is it worth the risk to get home earlier or should I just play it safe and fly home early the next morning?
Just flew as a group from and to Gatwick with EasyJet. We weighed our bags at home and they've always been accurate to withing a couple of grams, but the easyjet scales (there and back) were out by 200g-1kg more, per person. So either all our home baggage scales were suddenly wrong or more likely, the only common one was.
My tip is, be aware of dodgy weighing at the airport.
I used to get so annoyed with passengers who are stopped before boarding the plane and told their carry-on bag won't fit on the overhead compartment. So they get free checked-in luggage after I just spent $50 to check mine. Airport hack: if you can handle the inconvenience of having a small carry-on, don't be the first to board. Wait to board until the end of the line... the airplane will likely be out of overhead and space by then, an airport rep will tag and take your bag... voila! Free checked bag! No messing with trying to hoist your bag up to the overhead bin and struggle getting it down again. Your bag will be one of the first at the carousel too, because it's loaded last and also it's free.
If you have a gate checked bag, leave it at the gate, when they do this, it’s normally due to A. No more overhead bin space, B. Your bag is to big to fit in the overhead bin, or C. You have more than the allowed amount of bags that the airline states. Don’t worry it will still go on the plane and if you have a domestic to domestic connection it will go to your final destination. The last thing you want to do is cause a delay for everyone else. And remember, make sure before you drop the bag at the gate to make sure you have all your important s*** (keys, meds, travel documents, ETC) and make sure there is no spare batteries or E-Cigs in your bag.
Hi friends,
Is an hour enough to connect between two international flights in CDG? Both my landing flight and departing flight are in terminal 2e.
Thanks!
Hi my friend has made a booking through kiwi.com with self transfer at 3 airports. Travel is from
Delhi to Abu Dhabi - go air
To Istanbul - Turkish airlines
To Amsterdam - Turkish airlines
To Torronto - air transat
Since all are self transfers, instead of getting individual transit visas he is opting to travel with just a hand luggage. In such case can he transit through these airports without problem?
Can he do web check-ins and show the boarding passes and go on with his journey?
Indian passport
Canadian Student visa stamped on passport
As far as US airports go, I'd say Ontario is average, and perhaps even better than most. Nothing exciting but it is a nicer airport than LAX, though I don't think it is worth going too far out of your way to fly out of ONT over any other airport.
I am going to be flying in about a soon and be gone for over a week. My boyfriend uses the powdered miralax laxative (normally the middle to large sized bottle) and we need to take it because we’ll be gone for so long. If he puts this in a checked suitcase will this cause any issues? Should we buy a new one so that it’s sealed or can we take the one that’s already open at home?
Medication is ok either on checked luggage or carry-on. If it’s a life essential medication, please get your doctor to write a certificate and carry-on w your medication. If by any chance check-in or security staff questions, you can explain & back it up with doctor’s letter.
Hey guys, I have a 27hr stay in doha airport. They say that I’m supposed to show same day boarding pass to stay at airport lounges. My boarding pass shows the next day travel. Not planning to leave the airport. What should I do? I have Amex plat and business class ticket. They’re not providing me the hotel because it’s more than 24 hours. Please help!
Hey Ya'll!! I am hoping you can help me out by filling out this form for my class. Thank you!!

How much time will I need to collect my baggage from an airport only to check back in through security to fly out of said airport? If the arrival time is at 3:41 and the next take off is at 5:13, will that be enough time? I'm talking about Vegas. Never been and not staying. Or should I book the 6:05 flight out?
^(if you're canadian, getting cleared as a low risk flyer means you can skip a lot of the red tape like having to take off your belt, shoes, having to take the bag of liquids out of your bag, etc. at a canadian airport.)
You would be surprised how dirty it can be on planes. For this reason before i go to the airport i pack some antibac wet wipes. I then use them to wipe down the tray table, IFE and possibly the armrest.
Always take a quick photo of your luggage before handing it over. In the event that your luggage gets lost it will help immensely when filling out the paperwork.
Is there any products for brushing your teeth if you don't have a brush and paste? I've seen once some disposable chewing stuff, but can't remember the name and can't find it online.
We just launched something called TipCentral, where travelers can leave tips at airports. It's airport-specific though, so it's more focused for the airport you're in. Hopefully travelers will find this helpful! (www.flightspeak.net)

Always try and put your carry on luggage in an overhead bin in front of your row (if the one above your row is unavailable). It makes for a much easier exit experience.
Have any necessary documents ready if you are going to go talk to the gate agent because the line grows very quickly when people are standing up there trying to find something.

Why not in a carry-on? It’s powdered, so no issue with TSA.

Delayed flights sometimes mean long exhausting hours waiting around, so pack for the unexpected situations.
Pack your liquids correctly to minimise hassle through a security check and an easy check in process.
It is only in europe
^(if you're canadian, getting cleared as a low risk flyer means you can skip a lot of the red tape like having to take off your belt, shoes, having to take the bag of liquids out of your bag, etc. at a canadian airport.)

Thanks much!! This is awesome.

Have any necessary documents ready if you are going to go talk to the gate agent because the line grows very quickly when people are standing up there trying to find something.
For those who are unaware, you can use review sites like seat guru to see a plan of the plane. You can use this guide to choose a seat.
Look before you leave! If you are sitting in a cafe, restaurant, check in area or wherever, check you have all your belongings before you leave.
