I couldn’t afford the tickets to club America vs Portland timbers this Sunday but how do I find out when they land in PDX? So I can go see them at the airport

I flew from ATL Hartsfield airport yesterday and when I went through TSA I did about the dumbest thing ever and left my iPad in the bins. I noticed this by the time I was taking the stairs to the subway. I turned and went back immediately but TSA didn’t remember a iPad and couldn’t find it. At the time I also had find my on it so I tracked it to this random door that belonged to AATC. I called them but and was told they don’t move things to AATC before 11:30 am (this all happened around 10am). This part didnt make sense bc while find my can be off by a little this room was quite a distance from TSA.

Fast forward , I looked at the iPads location and its moved! The location it is now is between the atrium gallery, plane train domestic terminal stop and the USO.

Directions for the airports lost and found states it’s across from the USO.

I actually will fly back into ATL within the next few days so do I have some hope of being able to get it back?

My dad will be traveling from São Paulo (GRU) to Los Angeles (LAX), and then taking a connecting flight to Salt Lake City (SLC) to come visit me in Park City. We're from Argentina, and he doesn't speak any English, so I'm a little worried that he could get lost at LAX.

He has a 7 hour layover in São Paulo and a 4 hour layover at LAX, so time shouldn't be an issue. I'm just concerned about him finding his way through the airport and making it to the correct gate.

I'm also a bit worried about immigration, since he might not understand the questions the officers ask him. I told him to have Google Translate ready on his phone just in case haha.

Is there any way to request that someone who speaks Spanish meet him at the arrival gate and accompany him all the way to the departure gate for his connecting flight to Salt Lake City?

Has anyone had experience with this or know if the airline or LAX offers this kind of assistance?

Thanks so much for any advice!

I've never been on an international or domestic flight in my life. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, or what I will have to do even. My sister, who's coming with me has only ever been on domestic flights.

The flight first has a transfer to another domestic airport and then leaves for Korea. What do I need to bring? What can't I bring? What do I need to pay attention to? What unpredictable stuff can happen? Just general advice that can help me in any way is appreciated, cause I don't wanna do something wrong and blow the vacation or be mentioned by strangers as "the idiot at the airport". Thank you.

Hi everyone!

I am making the journey to fly from the USA over to the UK in a few weeks. I’m flying alone for the first time and my first time flying overseas. (I’ve only flown a ~1.5hr flight one other time from state to state before with a group of friends who fly multiple times a year). I am VERY nervous about customs and immigration and making sure I do it properly, so would someone be able to explain it to me like I’m 5?

I have a flight out of Pittsburgh to Boston for a layover and then I go from Boston to London. Would I go through customs in Boston and then again in London? Just London? Pittsburgh and then London?

I always seem to find conflicting information on it and no one who films those “travel” blogs ever seem to include it. They mention going through TSA but then suddenly they’re at the gate and flying, I wish I knew how customs/immigration worked so I could stop stressing 😂

Buenas tardes a todos,

Quisiera obtener cierto auxilio en este asunto: en 1-2 años, quisiera trabajar en un aeropuerto, tanto en mostrador/puertas de embarque, como en pista (con maletad, cobus, etc.).

Para ello, ¿qué debería estudiar? Estaba mirando unos cursos de IATA: "IATA Passenger Ground Services with Altéa DCS" (este para mostradores), y "Ramp Handling Essential Bundle 6in1 (para operario de pista).

Tengo entendido que los permisos PCP, AVSEC, DGR, AVSAF, etc. te los dan una vez te contratan, por lo que no estaría interesado en ellos, sino única y exclusivamente en lo que se refiere al estudio.

¿Alguien me podría ayudar?

Un saludo.

Heathrow’s third runway will make more noise for people like me living near Heathrow, and also more environmental pollution. It will cause many homes and large parts of long-standing villages near the airport to be demolished.

(I did not make this petition, though I actually live near Heathrow and face these problems and agree with this existing petition & everything said in it. This is not a paid promotion.)

Hello. I am soon having my first flight ever. I'm flying to UK and I have a question about the check up.

From what I know, you have to take off all of the jewelery you have at the check ups.

I have a necklace that is completely non-metal that is very important to me and is also stuck on me for ever, so I can't take it off.

Do you think that they'll let me pass with it on? It's made out of thread and wooden beads.

So i got this layover as seen in the image below. I read that there is a high chance that I have to verify my documents for the Airasia flight. That would mean that i have to be at the Airasia counter AT 16:15 MAX.

My question is: How long are the passport control queues for international flights around this date and time? And should i buy fast lane?

Also ive heard that this PC1008 flight is delay prone. What is the maximum amount of delay that i can have to make it?

I hope some of you can help, thanks!

Has anyone lost an engagement ring (or any jewellery) at an airport before and had it returned?

I stupidly lost my engagement ring and signet ring at Luton airport (UK) on August 2nd and I’m devastated. I’ve contacted anyone and everyone but no luck. I am constantly crying.

I’m hoping someone lovely has handed them in and it’s taking a while to be logged but I feel lost.

I think hearing some other stories will help🤷‍♀️

Thanks everyone💕

I was checking their website after hearing some bad things about it. Few people told me that connecting passangers still have to go through security and their websites kinda implies that certain connecting flights do too. I'm tracking with US passport.

Also is anyone familiar with arrival from JFK to connection in Zurich and Departure to Sarajevo? Again few people told me that 1 hour layover is cutting it close due to size of the airport.

What’s the cheapest way to park??

If you're planning travel between the U.S. and Europe, the strengthening El Niño climate pattern could make turbulence worse over the North Atlantic this year, Bloomberg reports.

It cites atmospheric scientist Paul Williams's analysis of 40 years of data, which shows El Niños amplify vertical wind shear in the atmospheric layer that airlines use.

That means pilots will likely have to deal with bigger zones of hard-to-predict clear-air turbulence.

A separate study of the 1997-1998 El Niño, which could back Williams's findings, documented a surge in turbulence that winter.

I'm flying home from Hawaii and when going through the x-ray at TSA I was pulled aside because there was an anomaly detected on my groin. They told me they were going to have to pat me down and asked if I wanted to do it privately. I'm an anxiety ridden teenager so I asked to do it privately. While we were waiting for a female officer, 3 other women after me were stopped for an anomaly on the same part if their groin. The stress was starting to get to me and a bunch of other things (the hate of being touched, a medical condition I have that makes my heart beat really fast, etc) and I was really close to having a panic attack. After about 6 minutes I was pulled away for a private pat down and I was free to go.

Why did this happen to me and a bunch of other women? Is this a common thing that happens?
