Alexander Thomas+FollowWhy TSA Might Ask for Extra IDEver handed over your tribal ID at airport security and still got asked for another ID? Turns out, if your ID can’t be scanned by TSA tech, they’ll ask for a backup—even if your card is totally valid. If you don’t have a second ID, they’ll manually check your tribal card. Pro tip: If things get weird, ask for a supervisor. And yes, TSA says they’re rolling out new changes—like no more shoe removal and easier transfers for connecting flights! #Travel #TSA #TravelTips161Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowAirport Showdown: My Eurotrip RankingsWho knew Düsseldorf Airport would steal the show? After hitting up five airports across Europe, I expected Florence or even Heathrow to be the MVP, but nope—Düsseldorf was a breeze from start to finish. Florence was a nightmare (hello, endless cab waits and flight chaos), while Athens was a snack-lover’s dream. Zurich gets points for reuniting me with my lost AirPods, but if you want stress-free travel, Düsseldorf is the dark horse winner. Save this for your next Euro adventure! #Travel #TravelTips #Eurotrip00Share
Anthony Cook+FollowWhy Tourists Are Skipping London ShoppingDid you know shopping in London used to be a steal for tourists? Since the UK scrapped tax-free shopping, high-rollers are now hopping over to Paris or Milan for their designer splurges. That means fewer shopping bags in London and less cash flowing into hotels, restaurants, and theaters. If the UK brings back tax-free shopping, it could turn the city into Europe’s ultimate shopping spree hotspot again—and boost jobs, too! #Business #LocalBusiness #TravelTips20Share

And maybe pack extra snacks—just in case your trip turns into an unexpected airport sleepover! #Business #Industry #TravelTips10Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhy Your AA Flight Might Disappear SoonHeads up if you’re flying American Airlines from Chicago this August—your flight might be on the chopping block! American is slashing dozens of weekly flights after losing some gate space at O’Hare and facing stiff competition from United and Delta, who’ve been upgrading their lounges and cabins. If you usually book through work, double-check your options—American’s recent booking changes sent many travelers to rival airlines. Fewer flights mean less flexibility, so book early or check other carriers if your route is affected! #Business #Industry #TravelTips00Share

ethanconner+FollowWhy Planes Really Get ShakyEver wondered what actually causes those wild bumps on your flight? It’s not just bad luck! The top 3 culprits behind airplane turbulence are mountain waves (yep, air hitting mountains acts like ocean waves), jet streams (those super-fast winds high up), and thunderstorms (not just scary on the ground!). Clear air turbulence is the sneakiest since it hits without warning. Pro tip: keep that seatbelt on, even when the sign’s off! #News #TravelTips #Aviation10Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhy Your ATL Flight Might Be Delayed SoonHeads up if you’re flying through Atlanta: the world’s busiest airport is running low on air traffic controllers. That means more chances for flight delays, especially as travel picks up. The FAA is scrambling to hire new folks (even straight out of college), but until then, expect longer waits at the gate. Good news: safety isn’t at risk—just your patience! If you’re booking a trip, maybe pack an extra snack for the layover. #Business #Industry #TravelTips71Share
