At my station, when flights get messed up, the system auto-rebooks passengers. They just get an email with a new itinerary. No conversation, no one asking what works for them. Agents can't even rebook without a supervisor's approval anymore.

Then JFK flooded.

One passenger's connection was blown, and the auto-rebooking gave him the worst possible option: fly to JFK anyway, miss his connection, and sit there for 24 hours. That means New York hotel prices, out of his own pocket, in a flooded city.

The other option? Stay in Phoenix, where hotels are way cheaper, and start the whole trip fresh the next day. Same arrival, way less stress, way less money.

The robot couldn't see that. It doesn't know your plans, your budget, or that you'd rather sleep in Phoenix than in an airport in Queens.

So I went to my supervisor and pushed for approval to rebook him by hand. I got it, and he got a much better trip.

The takeaway: if you get an auto-rebook email during a weather mess, don't just accept it. Go talk to an agent, tell them what actually works for you, and ask what else is out there. The system picks AN option, not always the best one.

Anyone else ever gotten a rebooking that made zero sense? ✈️

Saw this at my layover today

My dad dropped someone off at the airport and on the way out he didn’t pay the exit ticket fee thing. He just followed the car that was in front of him out really fast and now he’s worried lol at dfw airport btw

Hello!

I'm travelling to the US from Qatar in March 2027 and returning in April. We're flying Qatar Airways.

I have a question regarding our luggage on the return flight specifically.

The return route will be Orlando Airport (MCO) > transit in Boston Logan Airpot (BOS) > Doha (DOH)

The flight from Orlando to Boston will be operated by JetBlue and the transit is only 1hr 53 minutes. The entire flight was booked through a single booking with Qatar Airways.

Will our luggage be transferred directly from Orlando to our final destination, or do we need to checkin our luggage again at Boston and go through security?

If we have to checkin again, is a 1hr 53 min transit a sufficient time? Noting that we will arrive to Boston through Terminal C, and we will fly from Terminal E. We have no sense of the size of the airport.

Also note that we've already contacted Qatar Airways customer service, and they said we don't know as it depends on the airport policies.

Appreciate any information that could be helpful!

Does london luton airport still have the 100ml liquid limit?

How's the delays been for midweek flights out to Canada

hi!!! i’m going to be traveling to Canada from the US in about a month and it’s my first time ever flying. it’ll be 1 stop between here and the destination and the trip is about 4 days in length so i’m just taking a carry on and maybe 2 personals (i think they’re called).

I have god awful anxiety and really bad sensory issues (lights,sounds,crowds) so i meltdown pretty easily. i’ve tried watching a couple videos on the process but none of them are in detail about what goes on and what needs to be done.. just “go through TSA and find gate” so, could someone let me know what the process is like in the airport going to and from? Preferably as much detail as possible, knowing as much as i can before hand definitely relives some anxiety haha

also maybe what and what not to pack? how cold will it be? are there specific sizes liquids need to be? how strict is TSA? 😅

Worried for my flight this week. Someone provide an update please.

I'm taking my first connecting flight in the US soon and I'm very nervous about it and was hoping someone could answer some questions for me?

1. On the way to the destination I have to get my checked luggage and re check it. Do I have to go through customs afterwards to get to the gates again?

2. Is 2 hrs 45 mins enough time to do customs (if needed), checking my bag again and going through security?

My wife and baby daughter were visiting and I rented her a car with Dollar Car Rental at the airport. She dropped off the rental car today and 20 minutes later remembered that she left her bag with her AirPods and passports in them. She went back to the rental counter and told them what happened. They let her check the car and the bag wasn’t in there. They said nobody else was in the car except for her. She tracked her AirPods and they were near the area she was in. She asked to see video footage and they told her they couldn’t do that. In fear of missing her flight she gave up and tried to make it through security but because she didn’t have her passport she had to pay $45 and go through a different security process. Needless to say she didn’t make the flight. If anybody in the area rents a car from them please be on the lookout for a black adidas cell phone bag with 2 passports and AirPods. The airport staff were useless and here’s to hoping fellow citizens can help us. Please reach out.

I have lounge access at terminal 3 with my amex. However, my flight leaves from terminal 2. Is it allowed for me to go to terminal 3 then to terminal 2?

During the day, these airports seem to be well connected. Unfortunately I'll arrive at Hongqiao around midnight, and my next flight departs from Pudong in the morning. No public transport runs during those hours. There's supposedly a night shuttle bus connecting the two airports, but information about it is scarce. Does anyone in this sub know now whether this bus operates and where it departs from?

Is traveling even worth it anymore? This is intolerable

Can I find poutine at the Vancouver airport ?
