]]> From packing to passing through security and eventually finding your gate, the airport can be a stressful place, especially if flying is daunting for you. Here is your guide to making your airport experience as stress-free and pleasant as possible.

Secure Your Logistics Ahead of Time

Before you even get to the airport, arranging transport can be stressful. Make sure to arrange ahead of time for a family member or friend to take you and, if you intend to use a taxi, then pre-book once a few hours before you need it so you don’t have to deal with any last-minute stress. Also, double-check bus and train times if you intend to take public transport.

Get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry (if traveling through US)

In order to go through security quicker, get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. This way, you won’t have to unpack your bags or remove your shoes at security checkpoints. Also, your line will be faster to get through, affording you more time to do other tasks.

Keep Your Documents in a Secure but Accessible Place

As you pass through the regular airport procedure, you’ll need to produce documents such as your passport and your air ticket. As a result, you should make sure to keep all of your documents in an easily accessible place in your bag so that you don’t waste time fumbling around for them. Still, make sure they are secure so you don’t lose them.

]]> Going on vacation can be exciting. Still, this feeling of joy can quickly fade when you’ve disembarked from your flight, headed to baggage collection as your bag just doesn’t seem to arrive. Still, you don’t have to feel helpless when you’re in this situation. Here is what you can do if your baggage is missing or delayed.

Report It

When you received your boarding pass, you would have also received a baggage tag to verify that you handed your luggage in. The first thing you should do is report your missing bag to the information desk as well as your airline. Many airlines have a desk at the baggage claim area where you can file a Property Irregularity Report (PIR).

Know Your Rights

If your bags cannot be recovered, it’s important to understand that your airline will be liable to compensate you for any reasonable expenses arising from this issue. This could include buying supplies such as toiletries during the time that your baggage is missing.

Claim Your Coverage

Although the airline is liable to compensate you for your missing items if they are not recovered, then the one qualifying factor is that the expenses must be “reasonable.” Make sure to assess how much your expenses may be so that you know exactly how much you are owed.

]]> From remembering your passport and other documents to ensuring your baggage is checked in and looking for your boarding gate, the airport can be a challenging place to navigate. Fortunately, with some witty tips, you can make your airport experience smoother than ever. Here is how you can make traveling as easy as possible.

Check In Online

With advancements in technology, online check-in has become a standard activity for all airlines. If you have no need to check in baggage at the counter, then checking in online before you arrive at the airport will speed up your airport process, allowing you to proceed to security without standing in the check-in line.

Research The Airport

Make sure to check out a map of the airport before you depart so that you know exactly where to go when you arrive. If there is no map available, then check on the airport’s website where the terminal is that you require as well as landmarks that may help you find the right place.

Arrive Early

While it may seem obvious, arriving at the airport earlier than required will greatly help you to feel at ease. After all, having little time to do numerous important tasks and potentially missing your flight would cause plenty of stress. By arriving earlier, you’ll be able to complete everything you need to do and maybe even enjoy a nice meal in the food court before boarding your flight.

]]> When it comes to flying, going through airport security can feel stressful, especially as the clock counts down to your flight. Fortunately, by signing up for TSA PreCheck, your security experience will become faster and less stressful than ever before. Here are ways that you can get TSA PreCheck for free, thereby optimizing your airport experience at no extra cost.

Get The Right Credit Card

Many credit cards actually offer a reimbursement for the application fee for TSA PreCheck. From cards with cheaper annual fees, such as the United Explorer Credit Card to cards with premium benefits such as the Mastercard Gold Credit Card, and even business credit cards including the Capital One Venture X Business Card.

Loyalty Programs

Some airline loyalty programs allow you to put your air miles toward the application fee for TSA PreCheck. These include the likes of United MileagePlus and IHG One Rewards. This way, you forego the application fee while also avoiding paying the fees for a new credit card if you don’t already have one.

Traveling With Kids

Depending on their age, you can bring your kids through TSA PreCheck with you so long as you have signed up, even if they are not subscribed. Children aged 12 years and under are permitted to join you in TSA PreCheck, while those aged 17 or under may be allowed if the TSA PreCheck indicator appears on their boarding pass.

]]> While airport procedures appear to be pretty standard no matter where you’re flying to, the size and business of the airport can make a huge difference to the ease with which you travel. Here are the world’s busiest, if not most chaotic, airports.

Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport

With over 93,699,630 passengers passing through in 2022, this airport in Atlanta, Georgia is the busiest on earth. In fact, this airport is so big that it even has its own train network to transfer travelers to the terminals they need.

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

With 73.4 million passengers stepping foot in this gigantic Texan airport, it comes as no surprise that the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is second on this list. This airport’s central location makes it a highly popular connection point for domestic and international flights.

Denver International Airport

Serving as the hub of both United Airlines and Frontier Airlines, Denver International Airport has been on the list of the top 20 busiest airports in the world since 2000. Unlike many other airports, Denver has seen a rise in its passenger count compared to pre-pandemic levels.

]]> Layovers can be long. They can be boring. And you will probably be hungry. Yet, some of the best restaurants in the world can be found at the airport. In fact, they’re so good that you may want to schedule a layover especially. 

I Love Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport

In 2016, I Love Paris was named as the best airport restaurant in the world at the Airport Food and Beverage Awards (yes, that’s a thing). Seven years later, we’re still in love. Found in Terminal 2E, one can expect French cuisine made with seasonal ingredients and champagne that might be worth missing your flight for.

Cotto, New York La Guardia Airport

Every Italian restaurant thinks they can make Italian food, but real foodies know that’s not true. Cotto at La Guardia Airport does justice to the cuisine, with their garganelli with radicchio, speck, and truffle butter even being recommended in the Michelin Guide.

The Kitchen, Singapore Changi Airport

Changi Airport alone is worth paying a visit to. Often named the best airport in the world thanks to its stunning architecture, climbing wall, and butterfly garden. Another feature is certainly Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant, The Kitchen. Expect a menu filled with top-quality Asian fusion dishes.

]]> Oh, the age-old question—how early should you get to the airport before your flight? The time you need really depends on the airport, time of day, and destination as well as if your flight is domestic or international. While it differs, as a rule, here’s how much time you should allow for at the airport according to Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Domestic Flights

For domestic flights, TSA recommends getting to the airport two hours before the flight. This gives time for parking, shuttle transportation, check-in, and security. If you have a morning flight or can skip any of the steps mentioned above, you can cut it a bit closer. But depending on the time of year and airport, you may want to add an extra 30 minutes to the two hours.

International Flights

TSA recommends getting to the airport three hours before your flight for international flights. This is even more true for return trips to the U.S. because customs pre-screening and agriculture checks can mean longer lines and delays. You’re also less likely to be able to check-in online or get a mobile boarding pass in other countries than you are in the U.S.

Sure you can head to the bar and grab some food and drinks, but that only kills a small chunk of time. Believe it or not, there are actually some airports that we wouldn’t mind getting stuck at for hours. Here are three airports you have to check out.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol – Amsterdam, Netherland

Each year tons of people head to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam to see paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. But you can check them out at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

Dubai International Airport – Dubai, United Arab Emirates

One of the world’s busiest airports, Dubai International Airport has some of the fastest free, unlimited airport Wi-Fi in the world and at Terminal 3 you can take a free shower and relax in the zen garden.

Vancouver International Airport – Richmond, Canada

One of the largest living walls in North America can be found on the exterior of Vancouver’s International Airport’s Arrival Terminal. The green wall stands at 18 meters high and 12 meters wide and there are over 25,000 plants with a built-in irrigation and feeding system. There’s also a permanent Vancouver Aquarium exhibit that has more than 20,000 marine animals and plants native to British Columbia.

]]> Layovers can be long. They can be boring. And you will probably be hungry. Yet, some of the best restaurants in the world can be found at the airport. In fact, they’re so good that you may want to schedule a layover especially. 

I Love Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport

In 2016, I Love Paris was named as the best airport restaurant in the world at the Airport Food and Beverage Awards (yes, that’s a thing). Seven years later, we’re still in love. Found in Terminal 2E, one can expect French cuisine made with seasonal ingredients and champagne that might be worth missing your flight for.

Cotto, New York La Guardia Airport

Every Italian restaurant thinks they can make Italian food, but real foodies know that’s not true. Cotto at La Guardia Airport does justice to the cuisine, with their garganelli with radicchio, speck, and truffle butter even being recommended in the Michelin Guide.

The Kitchen, Singapore Changi Airport

Changi Airport alone is worth paying a visit to. Often named the best airport in the world thanks to its stunning architecture, climbing wall, and butterfly garden. Another feature is certainly Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant, The Kitchen. Expect a menu filled with top-quality Asian fusion dishes.

]]> Oh, the age-old question—how early should you get to the airport before your flight? The time you need really depends on the airport, time of day, and destination as well as if your flight is domestic or international. While it differs, as a rule, here’s how much time you should allow for at the airport according to Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Domestic Flights

For domestic flights, TSA recommends getting to the airport two hours before the flight. This gives time for parking, shuttle transportation, check-in, and security. If you have a morning flight or can skip any of the steps mentioned above, you can cut it a bit closer. But depending on the time of year and airport, you may want to add an extra 30 minutes to the two hours.

International Flights

TSA recommends getting to the airport three hours before your flight for international flights. This is even more true for return trips to the U.S. because customs pre-screening and agriculture checks can mean longer lines and delays. You’re also less likely to be able to check-in online or get a mobile boarding pass in other countries than you are in the U.S.

]]> While we love traveling, one of the most frustrating parts about it is being stuck at airports for hours due to a layover. Sure you can head to the bar and grab some food and drinks, but that only kills a small chunk of time. Believe it or not, there are actually some airports that we wouldn’t mind getting stuck at for hours. Here are three airports you have to check out.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol – Amsterdam, Netherland

Each year tons of people head to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam to see paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. But you can check them out at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The museum has an annex there with pictures from the collection on display. You can also look at old places at the Panorama Terrace at Departures Hall 1.

Dubai International Airport – Dubai, United Arab Emirates

One of the world’s busiest airports, Dubai International Airport has some of the fastest free, unlimited airport Wi-Fi in the world and at Terminal 3 you can take a free shower and relax in the zen garden.

Vancouver International Airport – Richmond, Canada

One of the largest living walls in North America can be found on the exterior of Vancouver’s International Airport’s Arrival Terminal. The green wall stands at 18 meters high and 12 meters wide and there are over 25,000 plants with a built-in irrigation and feeding system. There’s also a permanent Vancouver Aquarium exhibit that has more than 20,000 marine animals and plants native to British Columbia.
