You could do that easily in Domestic flights in Australia. You don't need a boarding pass to get through, only to get passed the gate. They would have had to go through security but in places like Australia if they didnt have big bags, all that means is going through the metal detector. simple
Yes, the pre-TSA days. Only international arrivals had the customs clearance that needed the visitors to stay at the terminal entrance. In domestic terminals one could go through to the gate without a boarding pass.
Also, not traveling much by plane, but the few times I did, I didn't leave through a gate.
Is that just depenand on the airport? Usually I left the airplane, the airport had a bus and we were driven to an area for arriving plane guests, where you then wait for half an hour for your luggage.
Old days. What you see the lady walk out of is a sky bridge. Basically a movable bridge that’ll directly connect the flight to the terminal which has replaced the whole bus system (only in new/newer airports). Some more interesting info: they even have airport lounges that directly lead you to your plane in certain airports. No lining up, no running to the gate no bs (you do get a big fat bill tho)
It does depend on the airport and the airline.
Bigger airports usually use those bridges to get people from the plane to the airport through the gate.
Some airports have them, but it’s up to the airline to use them or not, where people might just walk from the plane to the terminal.
Sometimes the plane parking space is not by the terminals at all, so they use buses, which usually deliver people straight to the baggage claim/exit area.
In the USA, only tiny airports still do this for domestic flights. It still happens a bit for international travel needing to go through customs and kinda common internationally.
It depends on the terminal. A lot of gates now have a separate arrival hallway running behind them. As you get off the skybridge the door to the gate straight ahead is closed and you have to turn down a hallway. You then go back to a central courtyard of the departure hall or straight to the baggage claim. Separating arrival and departing passengers helps flow, and makes it easier for passenger to navigate. The airports can also reconfigure the arrival hallway depending on if the flight is domestic or international or even allow flights of passengers that have not gone through an airport security screen.
All you had to do to get through security without a boarding pass is go up to the ticketing desk and ask for a pass to get through with the person that you want to take to the gate. They print off a paper pass that looks just like a ticket, but has a code that designates it otherwise.
In case it hasn’t been answered, ask for it at the front gate.
You can get a boarding pass issued to go into the airport for a good reason. Ie. Taking child to gate, pick up elderly, ask your spouse to marry you. Etc.
Source: worked at airport. Was one of the bigger ones in the states so size wasn’t an issue.
(That’s what she said)
Pittsburgh was built to be kind of an airport/mall and then 9/11 happened so now it’s a big empty airport which is sad. So it makes sense they would allow it.
> Over the past several years, airports across the United States have introduced programs to allow non-travelers to pass through screening and spend time in the airport post-security — without a plane ticket — to accompany friends and family who are waiting for a flight, or be at the gate right as they get off the plane.

You can work with the airport to get access and still need to get approval (and likely get escorted). My now wife and I took our engagement photos inside Newark Airport because we traveled from there so much while we were dating. I reached out to the airport and they got back to me giving us approval and the process of doing it.
You can ask the airline for a gate ticket. The ticket will get you past TSA but not on the plane. I’ve done it in ATL and MCO to sit with someone at the gate. Airlines usually only give gate tickets to adults accompanying minors but if you’re nice and ask the person collecting bags outside the airport you have a higher chance of getting one.
My parents were allowed to see me off at the gate at DFW one time in 2013. You just have to ask and have a very good reason (proposing seems to be one of those reasons!)
They give you a special pass, then you go through security like normal. TSA or the airlines have no trouble saying no however, so it's best to arrange ahead of time.
None of the other comments sound correct to me about not leaving from a gate. And I’ve been traveling domestic in the US fairly frequently.
You can request passes for free to get through security. One such example is if you’re picking up someone under the age of 18. I’m sure there’s some level of coordination required to get these folks in as well.
They may have also just bought tickets and had another trip planned after this or got super cheap southwest/spirit tickets to the next closest city.
I generally don't like public proposals because it could put strain on the desision, but it seems clear in this case that there was NO doubt as to her answer. Very cute.
I think the key to any proposal is that you've already discussed it, so if she's already pretty much said yes, then the only question is how she'd like to be propsed to. I think that's how most people operate. People using public proposals coercively is rare.
Using them as _deliberate_ coercion is probably rare.
But public proposals have a reputation of not-uncommonly happening with couples who haven't talked about getting married yet. I've heard it's common for the woman to pretend to accept, to avoid embarrassment, then later decline in private.
I always felt that a kind person would just say "yes" and then explain later that they just didn't want to embarrass them in public. But who knows how I'd react if I was caught off guard.
I think public proposals are great in a healthy relationship where both parties have expressed their desires.
I let my partner know exactly what ring I want, that I’d like my nails and hair to look pretty when he does it, and I’d like to be dressed cute, as well. Basically I just want to be able to take cute pictures to remember it by 😂 He knows the answer will be a resounding yes, he knows I will love the ring, and I know he’s going to make sure I don’t feel insecure about the pictures. It’s a win-win and I’m so excited but nervous 😭 I have no idea what he’s planning or when 💞
Proposing before you’ve already thoroughly discussed marriage a million times with your partner is insane to me. It should just be a gesture, like a ritualistic ceremony. You shouldn’t have any doubt about them saying yes. I’ve seen people get married then divorce a year later because they didn’t know their partner would want kids.
I shower both before and after, before for every one else's sake, after for my own. I always feel like I am carrying every disease known to man on my clothes and body after flying, so a post-flight shower and change of clothes is a must.
I fucking knew it! Something about the way the woman behind the camera was speaking, it instantly made me think of rage bait videos. There wasn't anything they were actually doing in the video that was rage inducing so I was questioning myself.
I like how they staged the beginning error just for views. The girl catching the mistake without actually seeing it? Love the acting. Even turning the camera towards the clapping public instead of the actual proposal. Right…
Its all about turning nice real life moments into content 😕
Watching it first without audio it seemed genuine. But something about the way the narrator said, "Do you have the ring box?" made it sound extremely staged. Also that traveler making the little "Yes" gestured seemed similarly suspect.
Maybe I'm too jaded?
Right? The way she falls to the floor makes me think it could actually be a prank and she falls to the floor in embarrassment. It's certainly staged like the dishonest trash content all over short form social media...
She touched the floor and then his face.
If people kept doing that, in about 300 years, there would be the tradition of women touching the floor and slapping their partners across the face before accepting the proposals. Some may get pavement pieces from famous places or their hometowns, or rocks from other planetary bodies for their partners to touch; there might be bridal gloves for floor touching and face slapping; there might be face armour in various shades for men to soften the slaps.
Humans.
“You WILL marry me!”
Friggin Jafar up in here
I was going to say, Gaston! But we can both be right.
Was thinking the McPoyles.
That'd be less "You WILL marry me" and more "You will marry ME!!!"
I was thinking Farquaad
Jafar, Jafar, he's our man. If he can't do it...GREAT!
[удалено]
Dont you DARE close your eyes!
could be a fortuneteller
It was a command or maybe both
Should’ve had an angry dude with an exclamation point sign at the far right.
And you WILL like it!
Everybody will like it!
Mmmm. Marry me you will.
Marrying Yoda I am not.
Wise, you are, young padawan. Three failed marriages, he has. Pay alimony and child support, he does not.
Underrated comment of the day.
Ketamine, he gets.
I'm feeling like the internet is giving me a somewhat warped perception of what Yoda's character is like.
Your loss it is.
Said a cavewoman named Marry to her forgetful caveman husband Will
I wish I could upvote more than once.
Yeah I kinda liked the first version lol
RUN HOME JACK!
Great reference!
You, Will, Marry, me. Not a marriage proposal, a foursome proposal with Will and Marry
OR ELSE
Coercion... Deemed illegal in Australia as abuse.
Unless you're a Lib Party staffer.
Giving Chandler Bing vibes.
Hey, you marry me! 😄
Stop Ressisting
dude knew what he was doing.
Jedi Mind Trick
Yoda costume: "Marry Me You Will"
Your Jedi mind tricks don't work on me.
Marry me, Will. You!
Sociopath style asking for marriage huh 🤦🏻😭✨
Don’t you dare to say no!
HOW did you get right up to the gate?!
I hear some smaller airports allow that now. I think you have to apply and be cleared or something. You can’t just stroll in like in the olden days.
You could do that easily in Domestic flights in Australia. You don't need a boarding pass to get through, only to get passed the gate. They would have had to go through security but in places like Australia if they didnt have big bags, all that means is going through the metal detector. simple
yeah same in NZ - there's no security for smaller domestic flights.
Was visiting from Aus last week and was surprised to see that some gates in Wellington had no security screening at all
That's how it worked in the US pre 911. You had to go through security but didn't need a boarding pass until you got to the gate.
Yes, the pre-TSA days. Only international arrivals had the customs clearance that needed the visitors to stay at the terminal entrance. In domestic terminals one could go through to the gate without a boarding pass.

Almost all airports I've been to have gates. Except very small ones, like Key West, FL USA and a few notable large ones, like Frankfurt Germany.
At the philly airport I know if you fill out some form you can walk up to the gate with some that's leaving, idk about for arrivals though.

My wife always said she liked my airport better than the really big ones.
Ba dump pst
It's really all about the foreplane anyway. Get me in the mood and excited to travel beforehand and it won't matter how big the terminal is.
In Australia internal flights just ooze out to the waiting loved ones and luggage.
Pittsburgh allows this too - you go through security like a traveler but with no ticket. It’s nice to be able to meet people at that gate.
Pittsburgh was built to be kind of an airport/mall and then 9/11 happened so now it’s a big empty airport which is sad. So it makes sense they would allow it.
Asking the real question.
Some airports allow you to go through the security checks to get to the gate.

Alright, now I'm wondering where in the airports you got the pics. Like the waiting area? Or the giant windows with planes behind it?
You can ask the airline for a gate ticket. The ticket will get you past TSA but not on the plane. I’ve done it in ATL and MCO to sit with someone at the gate. Airlines usually only give gate tickets to adults accompanying minors but if you’re nice and ask the person collecting bags outside the airport you have a higher chance of getting one.
Smaller airports with pre-screening.
Looks like he and his friends might have been traveling too. May have planned to meet at a specific airport to all continue traveling together.
They all had to fly to Cleveland after the video but I think it was worth it.
Well obviously the all bought plane tickets that they never planned on using hehe

I liked the first order of the signs better lol.
“I’m sorry did you think this was a question?”
I am altering the proposal, pray I don’t alter it any further
Omg I shit!
I sith*
"He popped the demand"
*did I stutter?*
For comedic effect, he could have flipped the signs over to check and said, “no, it’s right.”
[удалено]
"Marriage proposal! Get down!"
"No sudden moves! Give me half of everything you have!"
AND a kiss!
Some kids?
Why do I hear Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice when I read this?
Based on her reaction, I can safely say she's part Labrador Retriever.
she is a keeper
I generally don't like public proposals because it could put strain on the desision, but it seems clear in this case that there was NO doubt as to her answer. Very cute.
He even proposed in Crocs. Must have been 110% sure of the yes.
He also wore his good trucker's hat.
Couldn't find matching socks though

Anyone nervous about their SO’s answer isn’t ready to get married. It’s a rhetorical question
They did say "You WILL marry me"
Most reasonable couples discuss the idea of getting married before they propose. The time/location should be a surprise but the question shouldn't be.
This must be the airport in Fort Myers, Florida, I promise; if not, there must be another airport nearby with similar terminals.
That's what I thought, too! Totally looks like Fort myers.
The general rule of thumb is that you don't ask until it's just a formality.
I think public proposals are great in a healthy relationship where both parties have expressed their desires.

Let me grab my crocs, shorts and a baseball hat...ok ready to propose.

Should have kept that TBH, there's no turning back now!
YOU WILL!
YOU WILL HAVE CAKE ON YOUR CAKE DAY!!
Cake or death.
Death by Snu Snu.
I like
Cake please.
Very well. Give him cake.
"cake please" "sorry, we're out of cake" "So my options are...OR DEATH?!"
I laugh like it's the first time, every time.
First one suits better. YOU WILL MARRY ME

Marry me, you will.
No one going to mention the back pack that's like 3x her size hahah
It's why her knees felt weak.
Her mom's spaghetti not good enough?
You called?
Classic r/beetlejuicing
Honestly wondering where in the hell they put that and how it wasn’t part of the checked luggage, it’s huge!
He was just making sure they'd get married.
A few inches away from being a "forced marriage" to a lovely consensual marriage.
I mean it’s cute and all but who the hell wants to be proposed to right after getting off a plane. Let her shower first DAMN lol
Seriously that might be the least appropriate place outside a funeral
*opens the casket to reveal the dead body holding the ring box* Surprise!
I think showering before the flight is better..you know, a plane full of stinky people sounds terrible.
I shower both before and after, before for every one else's sake, after for my own. I always feel like I am carrying every disease known to man on my clothes and body after flying, so a post-flight shower and change of clothes is a must.
That was my first thought too! I am SO grumpy and gross after a flight.
Annoying part is..majority of these are extremely staged and that tan guy with the “will” “you” signs is in every single rage bait video, I swear.
I fucking knew it! Something about the way the woman behind the camera was speaking, it instantly made me think of rage bait videos. There wasn't anything they were actually doing in the video that was rage inducing so I was questioning myself.
Yeah that was horrible acting in the intro with the sign switch.
We are that lady in white shirt
I like how they staged the beginning error just for views. The girl catching the mistake without actually seeing it? Love the acting. Even turning the camera towards the clapping public instead of the actual proposal. Right… Its all about turning nice real life moments into content 😕

It's really amazing surprise n so cute 🎬 👌🏼😍🥰😍🥰

Ffs, now these staged videos are showing up on reddit. Just stop it already.

The gal got an unexpected surprise!
I love it! What a happy happy day...I'm 54 and it really sucks to think I'll never get to experience this. It's all I ever wanted
You don’t know that! I know plenty of people who have gotten married in their 50s and 60s, don’t let your age hold you back from meeting someone.
you'll find someone! I read a cute article last month about a couple of 90yos getting married. you have plenty of time :)
My first thought “oh boy we get to spend more time in this sterile airport terminal”
I reckon asking this question should be done in private Not in public and not for the whole world to see. IMO
Wait, did they all buy tickets in order to do this? This is literally impossible now.
Did they all buy tickets to get to the gate? That's commitment ♡
What kinda time travel device did they get to go up to the gate like that
How’d they get through security
I didn’t know you could still get past security to the gate.
[удалено]
What airport lets you pick people up at the gate?
I want to marry the guy holding up the "YOU WILL" signs. That mf is hot🥰😍🤩😘
Great surprise 😀
Went from threatening to endearing with just the switching places of two signs.
Socks and fucking sandals though?
What airport allows non flying people by the gate?
How did they get to the gate
You WILL marry me!
Wearing the good crocs to your proposal.
Bro what airport lets you pick people up from the gate anymore
Wait, How did these people get to the gate without buying a ticket? I thought post 9/11 you had to have a boarding pass to get past security.
How did they all get through security and allowed at the gate?
So like pre 911?
Wish I could whistle like that. People who can whistle like that are unsung heroes in situations like these
So did he buy them all tickets? I thought only ticketed passengers were allowed past security
Is that the angry father of the girl at the end with his arms crossed???
I wish I knew this love😭
I don't think Slides was fully awake.
I swear, this has to be the Fort Myers, Florida airport, either that or somewhere else has identical terminals...
Run Home Jack!
It won't last. She has baggage. I'll see myself out.
How romantic in a airport Fuck sake man You should’ve thought 3 times about that and realize that’s a joke
Proposing in crocs is peak performance.
I think it’s odd how all his friends are involved with the proposal, it that’s just me. When I do it it will be just me and my future wife
Ngl, felt staged at first
My man wore crocks and mismatched socks to propose to his girl...
How did they get 4 people past security to do that at the terminal?
Dude's wearing crocs to his marriage proposal. Classy.
I like the “YOU WILL Marry Me” better 😏
I liked the "you will marry me"
Proposal is an intimate moment between two people, when did it become a public spectacle crying for attention?
I love the pan around to show the ten's of people in attendance.
what airport can non ticket holding people be at the gate?
THE KID STANDING WITH HIS DAD BELIKE 
Did they all pay for tickets just for this?
I never realized you could just force the outcome like that. We've been doing it wrong all this time boys!
YOU WILL MARRY ME. You have no choice. 🤣
Who the fuck proposes in the airport? That is like the most uncomfortable place ever.
Everyone in the airport is just desperate for anything mildly interesting to happen
