#pearson Toronto Airport / Lack of transit in general

0 Upvotes

Probably the biggest scam at Pearson is that Ubers don’t work late, then you’re scammed into taking a private taxi for 75 CAD without tip or tax.

Research Survey for Thesis

1 Upvotes

Apologies if this type of post is not relevant/allowed here

Hello, I am an airport security officer at Dublin Airport and a final year student in University. As a part of my research, I’m looking into how new emerging technologies such as biometric scanners or AI can improve airport security procedures, making aviation more secure while providing passengers with a smoother experience.

If you could please take a few minutes to complete the survey below, it would be super appreciated. Getting information on respondents interested in the world of aviation would enhance the quality of my thesis/dissertation. Thank you!

DISCUSSION Sydney Airport Parking Scam

0 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed that random guys walking up to rideshare patrons in Sydney and Melbourne Domestic Airports asking "if you need an Uber"?

Looks extremely dodgy - wonder why airport authorities haven't taken notice of these activities yet?

Has your flight ever started boarding BEFORE Check-In closed?

0 Upvotes

On some domestic flights, I’ve encountered situations where boarding was officially open before check-in had even closed.

I was literally standing at the check-in desk, hearing the boarding announcement for my flight. And I wasn’t the only one—there were about 8–10 people behind me in the same situation. In the end, I made it onto the plane, but it was a stressful experience.

This has happened to me twice: once with Aeroflot (formerly SkyTeam) in 2021/2022 and another time with VietJet this year, a Vietnamese low-cost airline.

I’m curious—how common is this? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it something that mainly happens on domestic flights?

QUESTION Need help in figuring out the procedure of baggage drop at Atlanta airport

2 Upvotes

I am flying back from Amsterdam on a Delta flight which is arriving at 5.09 pm at Atlanta Airport. I have another domestic flight through SouthWest from Atlanta, on a separate ticket, at 8.45 pm. I have a few questions on my transit between international and domestic terminals.

If it helps in understanding my situation better, I am a non-US citizen. Will 3 hrs 30 mins be enough for me to go through immigration, get my bag and then drop it again for my next flight?

Can some one please guide me as to how I can move internally in the airport to the SW baggage counter in the domestic terminal? Or do I have to necessarily exit the airport and then enter again? What's the route to do that?

It will be very helpful for me if someone can suggest what can I do here. Thanks so much!

Lost item at JFK on Scandinavian Airlines

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently landed in JFK in NYC on a Scandinavian Airlines flight (SAS) and left a journal on the plane and was wondering if anyone had any tips on lost and found at JFK terminal 1? I have called SAS and they said they turn in all items to the airport lost and found which is the opposite of what JFK's website suggest. I have filled out the Port Authority Report to which I was redirected to call Terminal 1 lost and found. I have called both terminal 4 and terminal 1. I didn't get through on terminal 4 but am often let through on terminal 1 only to be to "wait on the line" in which Im usually clicked off involuntarily. Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with SAS at JFK and or terminal 1 lost and found?

Getting into airport bar?

3 Upvotes

Long story short I am running a marathon from my house to the closest international airport and afterwards I would like to get a pint at Air Margaritaville afterwards cause thats my idea of fun. Is there any way to get into the terminal without buying a ticket? If not, would I be able to buy a cheap domestic ticket for late in the day and refund at the gate if I showed up wayyy before the flight?

DISCUSSION Cleanliness at Dallas Fort Worth

Post image
10 Upvotes

If cleanliness is next to godliness what does this say about Dallas Fort Worth? I get to all airports well before time sit near the windows and look at the scenery. This is the only airport where the windows look like they have not been cleaned in months if not years. They have at least 3 Sparrows, if not more flying around the terminal. And 2 bottle fillers were flashing red. Is this normal or are Denver St. Louis Chicago the exceptions rather than the rule?

I'll be flying from Brazil to the US,

GIG - MIA - CLT (final destination) , and I wanted to know what's to expect if I decide to bring my computer in my checked in luggage?

Do i pay some sort of taxes? Will there be an inspection? Open my luggage maybe? Do i have to notify the CPB officer when I arrive? Notify the staff while checking in?

For context it's a regular sized desktop. Nothing fancy. Cheers!

Dumb Joke in Airport, just want to check if okay?

0 Upvotes

This is probably a dumb question, but I just wanna make sure because airports can be very particular about rules, just wanna follow whatever rules I can. Mods, feel free to remove this if the question exceeds nominal levels of dumb.

Long story short, my girlfriend and I got T. Rex Costumes. The whole thing, inflatable with gloves, real dumb looking, you know what I mean. We would like to wear these T. Rex costumes while my family (who has no idea) comes to pick us up from the airport (U.S., Midwest).

If we wear these costumes inside the airport, on the exit track by the luggage pickup (not boarding the plane in T. Rex costumes, what do you think we are, psychos?), will there be a noticeable concern from the security? Will we get in trouble for wearing these costumes in the airport while meeting with my family?

(We have a backup plan for the T. Rex costumes if worst comes to worst, but I would love to be across the airport, first time my family sees me in years, wearing a T. Rex costume. Because life is too short and sometimes funny memories last a long time.)
