The TSA Pre-check is an optional program that you typically pay for. It is available at nearly all US airports. They essentially do a background check on you, and if no red flags show up, you're good to go. While you don't have to take off your shoes or belts, the big advantage is that during busy times, The TSA pre-check line takes a fraction of the time to get through. I've never spent more than 5 minutes in a pre-check line, and typically there is no waiting, just walk right through easy-peasy.

If you’re going to spend time at the airport, you should interview people that are going home. How many of them are miserable sick and sad? That’s Vegas. The only vacation you take were you swear you’ll never do it again every time and you go home sick. if you go to Hawaii or any place like that, you come back with good memories and your soul is recharged from nature, you come back from Vegas you’re toxic broke ashamed and sick. What a town!

I fly a lot. Parking is easy to find. There is a huge price difference between short and long term parking. You parked in long term in Las Vegas and looked at short term in Austin. Short term is expensive so people don't park there long term and the short term people can meet and pick up their people. And no, you're not supposed to turn your phone off on a plane. Just airplane mode. The line for taking nothing out of your bag, you need TSA Pre Check or Clear. Costs extra and they do a background check. LAS is my favorite airport. While I don't smoke anymore, I like that people can. They also feed the machines to help keep it so we don't pay state income tax.

Bergstrom and Reid have the exact same security systems in place 😂…everyone goes thru the same screening except if you are TSA Pre. It’s basically a more extensive background government check that you don’t have to take ur shoes off 😂….both airports are nice. Also if you’re a disabled Veteran in Austin just tell to look at your license plates and you get free parking.

@nicholaswood3250 Жыл бұрын

In the line where some people are taking things out of bags and some arent - most major US airports are phasing in new machines that can scan your bag without requiring you to take your laptop or other electronics out first. They’re very expensive, so they’re rolling them out as they’re installed rather than just installing all of them at once, so some lines make you take your electronics out and some don’t.

DFW - My primary airport has nothing until you get through security... Parking is probably cheaper in Vegas because most of the traffic isn't locals needing a parking spot... Enjoyed the Video!

LAS has changed in the 13 years we've been coming here. We fly out of Ohio airports due to expenses of small airports. Columbus (CMH) and Cincinatti (CVG) are our departure airports. We like only non-stop flights now and the return flight is always a red eye. LAS is always busy, and our flights are generally always full, can you say (Economy airlines). We've had stops before in Houston, Pheonix, L.A., and Dallas. Didn't care for any of these, but if you get used to traveling this way, you get used to one and don't pay attention to the layouts and crowds. TSA is a really convoluted experience no matter which airport you go to. Used to get pre check when we flew but started getting no pre check last several years. As this is the only airports we use, my view isn't much to compare with. My wife has to stop at the smoking slot machine facility first thing arriving and last thing leaving. Only airport we know of with that.

When we visit, we take the bus to and from the airport. Arrivals are cake. We check bags on Southwest. By the time we get off the plane and get to baggage, they are coming out. And the bus is just down the escalator and out the door. After a few trips we're super familiar with the airport. Including back tracking towards the baggage claim in terminal 1 to catch the tram to the end of D concourse.

My favorite airport in the US is my home airport: SFO. The reason is pretty simple. SFO is designed like a German airport, where there is a single loop where people get dropped off, and all the terminals branch off the main hub. This means to get to your flight all you need to do is go through security and walk in a straight line. It’s very easy to navigate. Also, having been to Harry Ried Itl. very recently, it’s also pretty simple. I find it’s a lot like a smaller version of London-Heathrow, where there are parallel runways, and you need to take a tram to get between them, but you can pretty much get anywhere pretty quickly after you get past security. It’s solid.
