    A good basis to work to but.... having flown through two international airports with no problem I was diverted to Manchester. It is a great shame one can't avoid the security people at Manchester because what is deemed ok at Dammam and Amsterdam is NOT ok at Manchester, if you are a white christian returned serviceman with his family. Relish being torn apart whilst gazing upon mozzies who do NOT have to take their belts off, do NOT have to remove their shoes and DO NOT have to remove their laptops from their bags. Meanwhile a Christian has his brand new, unopened perfumes, with receipt purchased airside at Dammam, confiscated. Why? Because the perfumes and receipt were not in an unopened bag. Heavy handed two tier security at it's best. Absolutey no confidence in these security morons whatsoever. It's all a charade. I want religious profiling at security and I want security staff trained to recognise who is the real threat and apprehended with the with the same vigour as they stop an ex - serviceman and his family. Manchester airport security has fallen. Avoid like the friggin plague if at all possible.

    Sooooo I used to like Walmart but admittedly had NO choice....they came to town just over a couple decades and killed everyone else, 3 other really good big box stores and all the grocers except Safeway. The Safeway is insanely expensive so I'm left with Walmart. Anyhow they have continually gotten worse and more expensive and all while providing less service. As an avid online shop and pickup person I have many times seen large price variances for online orders vs inside prices. Initially shopping online during COVID offered a cheaper price than in store and awesome service, they would often sub generic items for better items at their expense because if the website said it was available and it was not they made it their problem and eat it. They would offer goodie bags and did a great job with giving good service and pick good items and veggies etc. I assumed part of the reason online prices for pickup were better is because they shopped the order and in turn had less theft. Since it's becoming so popular it seems the tide has turned, no more free substitutions, no more goodie bags, and worst of all I went inside as I forgot some items in my last order and without any doubt noticed some prices for my online order we're HIGHER than the shelf prices....I was really disappointed to see this. It wasn't an anomaly or my imagination I pulled out my app and verified several items I had been charged more than the shelf prices. If you shop for pick-up please keep an eye and just beware they are apparently adding a premium to these orders on some items. I've even seen discounts or clearance items in store and then looked online and the same item shows full regular price. They are getting so shady and it's a bummer because in my town and many others across this once great nation it's the same thing. I'm really starting to feel technology is being so abused and used for things it really probably shouldn't be....just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. How can they layoff employees.....have you ever tried to get help in a Walmart as it is.....forget it. They might as well shut the doors and just do pickup only.

    I’m sorry, but I’m not into wearing pyjamas and flip flops or slippers through the airport. After watching your suggestions, that seems to be the only thing that’s left. Some of us prefer to wear decent clothes on our travels and, if airport security personnel really cannot get decent screening equipment then they’re going to have to put up with the ladies and gentlemen left in travel who will need more time to pass through their inefficient security procedures-both to take off and put on real and decent travel clothing rather than sleep or sportswear! I’m sorry, but your video is unhelpful and encourages a continued downward spiral in what is a decent and honourable standard for passengers on public transport.

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations 4 дні тому

      I get where you are coming from and I agree with you. I don’t advocate wearing pajamas or flip flops through the airport and I don’t believe I mentioned that you should wear those items either. Like you, I prefer to be more dressed up than the average person and that’s why at the end of the video I do advocate getting tsa precheck to avoid having to take off any item of clothing and to make going through security a whole lot easier. Sorry you found the video unhelpful but I know others have benefited from the video.

    • @bt4jc
      @bt4jc 4 дні тому

      Thanks very much for your gracious reply. Yes, I did not hear you say pyjamas and flip flops. However, listening to you, I felt it was my only option and I have been sickened by the slovenly way people are beginning to travel nowadays. Sadly too, TSA clear is only available to Americans and the security clearance I had in mind was also international and I travel mostly and a lot overseas where Clear is not an option for Americans.

    Hello again, I have another question! I will be traveling from PEK to CVG with ANA, with layovers at HND and IAD. When I arrive in Washington DC from Tokyo, will I need to check in my luggage again? Can you go through the overall process, as I am not very familiar with this. I am a 16 year old about to travel soon and I want to make sure that I understand the procedures before my traveling begins. Also, I have a big feeling that I will miss my flight from IAD to CVG, as I only have around a 2 hour layover. In this case, can I get my flight rebooked for free or will I have to pay for the new flight? Thank you so much!

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations 4 дні тому

      Once you arrive in IAD you will have to collect your luggage and then go through customs and immigration. Once you are through customs and immigration there will be a drop off area for your luggage and then you will be able to proceed to your next flight. 2 hours should be enough time to go through that process and make your flight but if you should miss your flight to CVG then the airline will rebook you free of charge unless you booked the flight separately.

    Best questions to ask at information desks without annoying the airport staff. . . . I have a flight coming up from Europe to USA soon and I have never been to USA or any of the airports ( JFK and ATL ) I hear they're very big and scary- ( I'm a little blind and need help seeing/reading but no aide with me. What sort of lanagauge would help get answers and help best while travelling?

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations 5 днів тому

      You can request special assistance from the airline that can escort you and help you with checking in for your flight, going through security, and getting on and off the plane. JFK and ATL are big airports and if you have trouble reading the signs you can easily get lost so having someone who can assist you through that process would be beneficial to you. Just go to the airline's website and do a search for special assistance and there will either be a form or a number you can call to request assistance.

      You will have a personal duty tax exemption on anything you have bought in the UK up to $800. If you know the total estimated value of everything you bought that will work. If the value goes above $800 then it’s going to be best to have some receipts.

    The green bars did not align, and idphoto4you printed 4 3 1/2 x 4" photos. What was the issue?

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations 9 днів тому

      Are you sure you had the correct settings at the beginning? The photo setting should be passport and visa and the image setting should be 10x15cm or 4x6". If the green bars do not align then you might need to take another photo or you can try zooming in or out a little bit to help get the green bars to align. Also, make sure you are not accidently clicking on any of the ads by mistake.

      As long as your tickets were booked together your bags should get transferred over to the next plane for you. Here is the process you will need to follow. Once you arrive at terminal 2 in Mumbai you will go through immigration and customs then afterwards you can proceed towards the transfer facility. The airport staff can help guide you through the process and answer any questions that you have. You won't need to check in again or collect your checked luggage unless you have separate tickets for your domestic and international flights. After reaching the transfer facility, you'll need to go through a security check. You must undergo pre-embarkation security checks before proceeding to the domestic departure area. To get to terminal 1 you can take a free shuttle to get there. Once you arrive in terminal 1 you can go to straight to the gate, just ensure that you have your boarding pass and necessary identification documents readily available to expedite the process.

    Hello Ben, I traveled with ANA (All Nippon Airways) from CVG to PEK on June 26th. Once I arrived home and left the airport, I found my luggage to be damaged (one of the corners had a big dent). I completed the forms and submitted all of the proper documentation. However, the ANA office located in Beijing told me that they can only give me RMB 100 (around $14) as compensation. I tried asking for more but they refused to give it to me. They said the only two options I have was the RMB 100 compensation or they could give me a new luggage at the airport when I leave Beijing and check in. I am very unhappy with this and would like your input. What can I do and what are my rights as a traveler when dealing with a damaged luggage? Thank you very much, I am looking forward to your response.

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations 11 днів тому

      It really depends on the airline and their policies and I am not too familiar with ANA but most of the time the airline will require you to report the damage in person before you leave the airport in order to get a proper compensation. Unfortunately, since you didn't notice the damage until you arrived home I don't think there is much more you can do to get a proper compensation from the airline. The other thing you can do is to check your credit card that you used to pay for the flight and see if it includes travel insurance which can reimburse you for damaged luggage. Also, you can try the manufacturer of your luggage and see if they have a warranty or a lifetime warranty that you can use to replace your luggage.

      If you are checking a bag then definitely get there at least 2 hours early. If you want to give yourself more time then make it 2 1/2 hours but I don't think you will need to arrive any earlier than that.
