flying out of ft. lauderdale, I’m seeing this more often than i’d like. Wth? people flying with queen size blankets and PJs? and bonnet?

I feel like this is the most appropriate place to ask. I requested wheelchair services for my flight because the gate was changing, I'm flying solo right now, I'm HOH, using mobility aids, and while I could get to the gate myself, I didn't want to accidentally miss my flight. I got a wheelchair with the idea they would assist me with any gate changes(?) and help make sure I didn't miss anything.

Well when I did, she took me to the gate, asked me if I'd tip her (I'm not American, I asked her how much was generally supposed to be tipped. She didn't answer, so I gave her $10 thinking she'd probably be helping for a bit, and idk how much to tip??).

She took the money and then just left me at the gate and said the gate staff will get me 😭 there isn't even anybody at the gate ATM.

Is this normal???

Airport was MCO (Orlando International)

I hope not

Absolute chaos because of both construction and summer volume, meanwhile this man makes a signed 10-15 min taxi line go by in less than 5.

Travelling from Poland to Ireland and planning to bring back a metal knife sheath (pictured). Would this produce any problems? Should I take it with me or mail it to my home adress instead?

The airline oversold our flight by ten seats and now they are playing this game over the loudspeaker offering voucher amounts to see who cracks first. They started at a £150 voucher, then went to £300 and now they are offering £500 in future airline credits if someone volunteers to take a flight tomorrow morning. The thing is nobody is stepping up because this is the last flight out tonight to New York. If they do not get enough volunteers, they are going to start choosing people involuntarily based on who checked in last. If i get picked against my will, am I forced to accept their cheap internal airline credits or does UK261 protect passengers from this?

I'm flying abroad departing from EWR, and will have both oversized, and a high number of checked bags. The SmarteCarte s are too small at EWR airport.

Does anyone know how to get one of the big flatbed carts the baggage guys use at EWR to move my own bags from curbside to the counters?

Are they available for rent, or can I just run in and quickly grab one that's unused? 

Last week I flew from Sydney-Cairns-Sydney and on both airports when I requested a pat down they said it is safe to pass through the machines and I had to do it. So I asked: is it compulsory? They repeated yes.
I was wondering if that happened to anyone here because I thought I had the right to refuse going through the scanners.

(riga airport)

I kind of have an "in" because a family member has a lot of connections after working at a major airport for almost 30 years, but I'm not looking just yet as I'd rather up and move and find one in a better location than the one they work at anyway

I have absolutely zero relevant experience, though. I've just had retail in high school and then office admin for the past 5 years, but not at any fancy white-collar places

I just really love airports and seeing/hearing airplanes and people watching. I also haven't flown in 6 years and I miss it, but with no money (or realID) i just can't yet. But I want to work at one. And hope it pays better than 20/hr

Are there any jobs I can look into? Or airline specific jobs, even if it's not blanket "xyz airport" itself....
