Thank you for sharing and definitely agree the Delta hub at LGA is more modern than T4 at JFK!

Turbulence can be a traumatic trigger definitely , and you're rught if its too much, then maybe an alternative form of transportation (bus, ship 🚢) might be better or prescription sedatives if you're doctor thinks that can be a viable option.

@Davidwilliams-lk7hb it definitely depends, but on the whole the lounges in Europe are nicer with higher level clientele

THANK YOU for sharing some of your story. It is definitely a challenge for travelers on the spectrum or who have other mental health challenges (and I can relate!). Parents with children on the spectrum have to take this seriously and realize that there are things that can/need to be done in order to prevent their child from having a full-on meltdown. That's why it's so important to have a "plan" in place to help with the anxiety and stress. Some of these things include giving yourself LOTS of time to go through the check in process, eating enough to fill your belly (or if you can afford it--having a nice sit down meal at the airport), even having medication available (if that's an option that you and your doctor have devised). Delta (and maybe other airlines too) have what are called sensory rooms at the boarding area where passengers with "cognitive challenges" can go to "de-stimulate" They are rooms designed be visually and aesthetically soothing. If airports don't have these rooms, there are chapels or places of worship that are often quite and soothing too. I do think having a very full belly--especially with a ton of carbs (so you can feel sleepy on the plane) has helped me. Hope this helps in some small way! You're definitely not alone. 😊✈️

Thank you for sharing

@@badskoomadealer6899 the payout depends on several factors (how many people they need, the airline's internal policies, etc). However, one good rule is that the compensation will almost ALWAYS be less than what it would cost to involuntarily bump you from the flight.

Very welcome! Glad it was helpful and I love Avianca, very solid airline! Safe travels!

@paneperunovski 😂😂😂 I think it's the reaction to being asked that gives a psychological indicator.

@uppitybee898 I think a lot of people agree with you and Paris has been trading on its name for decades while the rot continues to spread. I think people will begin to see and understand Paris in these terms if they didn't already.

😂😂😂 Yes! Definitely.

I agree 1,000% with you! It's so discouraging getting to a nice lounge only to see packs of hobos walking around. It's like you're at a bus station at 200 am.

@@thewholetraveler Sadly a sign of the times. I"m hardly a blue-blood. I've done well but heck I prefer the local diner or fast food eatery. BUT - nice restaurants. A business class lounge - I think dressing, and acting a certain way is actually a responsibility and part of the charm of it all. But alas, nowadays if you got bit by a dog under a random constellation being in the sky - you qualify for the lounge so here we are :)

​@MPDLR so true😂

Checked luggage will normally stay in the pit of the plane and continue to the destination for domestic flights. When you arrive the bags will be waiting for you at the hold area in baggage claim. If you end up not going to where you were flying to the airline will arrange it to return the luggage back to you.

It will most likely be waiting for you at the airport (which is kind of nice). Just go to the baggage claim office.

Thank you. They must be more expensive tho, right!?

Yeah, it's definitely going to reach a point where the dead of summer is going to be too unbearable without AC for most of Europe (even The North) just like North America.

@Mrs.Fezziwig those are good points, most hotels use generators to compliment their AC use (i think in many EU states it's mandatory) so there isn't an additional burden on the power grid.

I agree at this point that it's just a necessity and evolves beyond being a cultural preference.

@@DoggyOnPc1080p No. You really do in most places.

​@@thewholetraveler so how did humans survive the thousands of years without AC

@puljz8551 just because our ancestors suffered in Holy Hell doesn't mean we should or have to...we are allowed to evolve...and that include having AC in a broiling summer

@@thewholetraveler this summer wasnt even that hot in europe lol

@puljz8551 Please. I know Europe very well and have been in too many countries to know that is not true 👏at 👏 all. Didn't famous people in Greece die from severe heat exposure, going on walks and then becoming disoriented and dying? 🔥🥵🔥😵‍💫🔥💀

Welp, apparently, not only the US has brought in AC units

@@user-gs2yl8gv4v Fans during heatwaves do not help enough🥵🥵🥵

Because it’s fucking hot. Why else

Check the weather channel for summer temps in the US.

@@gwolfstahl olympia 2024 is in which American City again? And maybe build houses with bricks instead of paper. Thats a free cooling method

@@okaneren122 we dont want to die of heatstroke in our own homes.

@okaneren122 you need more that that. Smart building can alleviate some of the heat but you need technology to reach ambient coolness.

Yes, that is disgraceful. ACs in places like Southern Europe are a necessity, especially fir the elderly.

That's avery good point....and how much of the buildings used for Olympics will the reused? So much of it goes to waste.

@@thewholetraveler I will say, many of the buildings specifically for the Olympics are already existing. They even travel to other cities to make it work. I think all the Equestrian sports are in Versailles for example. I know for Rio this was a massive problem and a lot of the stadiums were literally reclaimed by the jungle after rotting after 2016. But that’s the problem you run with choosing a poorer country to host-it’s really a big tradeoff

@@jukihiw Agree 💯

@@arleatataylor382 Most of us Americans are in shock 😲 🫨 🫢

🤣🤣🤣

Those are good points, but the airport itself and experiences within are most definitely superlative to any airport in the US I've used for travel. Please let me know if there is a US Terminal or airport tjis modernized. Also, this is not just my opinion. The new LGA has won international, prestigious design awards.

@@thewholetraveler it’s definitely beautiful in design especially if you went through LGA before the remodel. LGA is top 5 for me but as far as all around and connectivity to the city DEN is at the top. Actual lounge areas, so much unrestricted seating. Outside viewing deck, metro direct to city. Some days LGA pre check doesn’t even open until 6. Which is crazy given it’s used for a lot of early morning business travel out of NYC.

@JeffyShyChannel DIA is not a great airport, but it's also not an apt comparison. DIA is a mega airport servicing both International and Domestic flight. Its comparators would be LAX, ORD, JFK, EWK. I do agree that DIA is better than JFK, ORD and EWK but not LAX. ALSO AT DIA the Amex Lounge was the most packed and run down looking one Ive used...at LGA in TER B it's nearly new and fresh.

@@thewholetraveler you asked for an airport just as modern and then rejected my comparison. Not a good rebuttal lol. Opinions are opinions at the end of the day. Maybe contact AMEX about their lounge quality.
