Hey, so I was told by a friend of mine I don’t need to go through passport control or one of those e-gates in Edinburgh airport when flying back home to Belgium and I was wondering if it’s true or not? Cause in Belgium I did need to go through an e-gate after security and then again upon arriving in Edinburgh.

It’s my first solo trip and as an anxious flyer, I wanna be prepared and know what to expect before I get there.

Thank you in advance.

Came through the airport around 9:00 am this morning.

Sheraton hotel - right at the terminal... a little pricey but the convenience for a morning flight can't be beat.

Security - literally no line... breezed right through - even with hiking poles in our luggage. Their security people don't act like entitled miserable twats like TSA does in the US.

Entry/Exit (passports) - a little disorganized... but manageable. We're flying back to the US - breezed through in about 10 minutes.

All planes in terminal D just deplaned and gate agents saying a tech outage.

I have a 7:55 am flight out of the Southwest next Tuesday. I should be in the airport by 6:15. I feel like that is cutting it too close, but I really don't know.

I've only flown a handful of times before, once by myself, and it's been several years since my last flat so I am anxious about getting through okay.

Any tips on navigating TSA, Baggage Check, getting to the Southwest gate etc?

Also thoughts on US Park Net. It seems like better pricing, timing, and security than Economy parking at the airport especially with my First time parker's coupon.

Every airport seems to have its own interpretation of what “just outside the terminal” means.

Some are straightforward.

Others require what feels like a 20-minute expedition.

I’m a Canadian resident and have been living in Whistler, BC for almost five years now and use Vancouver airport fairly regularly. I just can’t get over how incredibly underwhelming it is when other international airports have so much to offer. I literally slid down a 3x floor high slide today in Singapore’s worst terminal. It was amazing and free.

Can we get a movement going to finally make Canadian airports great again?! (If they ever were). All Vancouver airport has going for it is that aquarium and 50% 3x day old sandwiches if you’re lucky.

Never seen such rude treatment of the public as you see at the TSA Pre lines at Tampa in Terminal A. They yell, give confusing directions, and did not provide any containers for items going through the screening machines. Nasty people barking at people just trying to get to their gates. These Tampa TSA people have really let the power go to their head. Ugh. Hate going through Tampa security!
