What questions can I help answer?

What are some of the questions they normally ask dependents ?

@BenDreamVacations 2 ай бұрын

They don't usually ask the dependents any questions. When I travel with my kids they just ask me what their ages are and nothing more. If they are old enough to have their own ID then they will just have to present their ID and go through the same process as everyone else.

What is the process for packing a video game counsle such as an Xbox Series X for flying domestic or internationally?

@BenDreamVacations 2 ай бұрын

@@carlosmelendrez1417 I would pack your console in either your carry-on or a backpack but you will need to take it out and place it in a security bin for screening. You can pack it in a checked bag as well but I would avoid doing so to avoid damage or theft.

Thank you for your video. Very informative. I’ve seen other videos where they say. Keep pills in their original prescription bottles and then others say “No”, you don’t have to keep them in their original pill bottles. so I’m confused what to do. I saw comments where some viewers have said they take pictures of their pill bottles to show TSA if questioned, but keep the pills in pill packs. Some say they put them in clear pill bags, and then some say they take their whole prescription bottles with just the pills they need plus a little extra. Seems like there’s a lot of information out there, but it doesn’t seem to agree. 🤷‍♀️

This is the exact wording from the TSA "Medications in pill or other solid forms must undergo security screening. You can facilitate this screening by clearly labeling medication." There is no rule that medication has to be labeled or have to be in it's original container but it could certainly help.

Can I take cologne in their original bottles in my carry on as long as its no more than 3.4 oz ?

@BenDreamVacations 11 күн бұрын

Yes, you can carry colognes in their original bottles as long as they are in 3.4oz bottles or less and they are stored in a clear quart sized bag.

I need to now if i can bring a 20 pound dumbbell ob carry on

@BenDreamVacations 16 күн бұрын

A dumbbell is probably not going to make it through security as it can be used as a weapon. You can definitely pack it in a checked bag however.

I asked this in one of your other videos before I found this one. I wear hearing aids with lithium batteries. Is this a problem when going through security. Thanks

I’m flying from my home country Germany,Berlin to London Now my question is since I‘m underage do I need to get the consent papers from my parents notarised/certified? Or is providing copies of documents with the consent papers of my parents proof enough?

@BenDreamVacations 26 күн бұрын

Yes, you will need to get your parents consent letters notarized. You will also need to check the requirements for the airline you will be flying on. Depending on your age you may need to fly as an unaccompanied minor. Once you arrive in London you will need to provide details about where you are staying and that you have funds to support yourself while in London.

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 2 ай бұрын

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.

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 2 ай бұрын

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.

In a few days, I will be flying from JFK to Alaska. Should I get to the airport 3-4 hours earlier before departure even though it's domestic?

@BenDreamVacations 2 ай бұрын

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.

@@hxdz7712 You won't be able to take 2 carry-ons but you can take 1 carry-on and a smaller personal item bag like a backpack on the plane with you. Southwest allows 2 free checked luggage so if you have to check one of your bags you can do so without a charge.
