Airports Blog

A random sample of 10 airports is surveyed by sending trained interviewers to solicit reactions about air safety from passengers disembarking from arriving planes. I would like to know what kind of sampling this would be. For example, cluster sampling or stratified sampling.

The weight on my driver’s license is not what I weigh now. I had a baby and have not yet lost all the weight. I have at least 4 years before it expires and do not want to go through the hassle of changing it while I am in the middle of losing weight. I say all that to ask how picky are the airports (like security checkpoints) on the weight difference? Just want to know if I should get it changed before I leave. Have not flown in 18 years.

I’m about to go on a missions trip to London.

I was just wondering what airports do and do not allow on like carry-on and stuff.

I forgot the site to go to to get all the information I need on it!

So if I could get the site it would be wonderful!!! I would very very very greatly greatly appreciate it.

Thanks so much everyone!

And I would also like some information on the Boeing 777.

It can be a reference or just information from you.

And if necessary, and tips at all would be fine.

So I need tips, information on airports, and information on Boeing 777s

Thank you to everyone!! This will definitely help and prepare me!!!!

Oh and I am leaving on Thursday, so yeah…..thanks!!! ASAP would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m planning a trip from to Italy next year, and I’m trying to get my plans together. I’m going to be flying in from the United States, most likely from either Chicago or Atlanta (probably Atlanta). The main destinations of this trip is Lucca to see the great walled city, and then to Venice. I need to know which airports are the best to fly into, specifically, from Lucca to Venice, and about how long that flight time would take.

Any and all help is appreciated!

I have heard that you must be 21 to gamble in Las Vegas. Well im 18 and im going to have a layover there and I also heard the airports just have slots. I have never gambled before so I figured it would be fun and a way to waste some time in the airport. Now does anyone know if I can gamble in the slots in the airport casino? Or must you be 21?

who are the people at airports that guide airplanes in to the terminal?

who are the guys with the red sticks on the ground guiding the airplane when it lands to the terminal? what is the proper name for what they do and job title?
What is the name for the job they do other than just ground crew?

I plan to fly from Bloomington, Il to Atlanta Ga. on Sept 29th for a wedding. I have never flown before this, so how much time should I give myself to get thru the airport.
Also, when I get to Atlanta, do they have rent a car centers in the Airports, so I have some wheels to get going?

Every time you talk about building a new airport or expanding an existing one, the public always says “do it somwhere else.” Then the people living in somewhere else say the same thing.

I don’t claim to be an expert on human psychology, but, are all people fundamentally self-serving or what? Can’t we make sacrifices anymore?

There’s a small general aviation airport near to where I live, and few years back they proposed installing the main (4,000-foot) runway with an ILS, and the neighbors went ballistic and voted it down. Ridiculous. We’re not talking about any new runways, any increase in air traffic or expansion of the airport, just an ILS to make the airport safer and possibly save lives.

Without airports, we could always go back to what they did 100 years ago and just use trains and boats (”enjoy your 54-hour ride from New York to Los Angeles”). But wait, then people would complain about railroad tracks being laid down near their homes. Oops, bad idea.

This would be from Chicago at the end of November. Are there any airports that are typically just cheaper than others?

I have found that Dublin is usually cheaper than London, but what about on the mainland?

I will fly into Gatwick, stay a few days in London, then fly out of Stansted. I will return two weeks later to do the same thing in reverse. What is the most economical way of getting to these airports. It seems the train fares are considerably higher than there were a few years ago…especially against the US dollar.
