Was leaving from Paris CDG airport
First going through security they would do random
drug residue swabs
They after your at the flight gate they have another random drug check
Never seen that anywhere else
While I would never normally do this at my big age, I am in need of some help! 🙏🏻
There was a guy who works for TSA I met today around noon, going through security!
He was working the person x-ray and then went to help with the bag x-ray! Gates C&D!
He’s about 5’5”-5’6”, Black, with a beard and beautiful smile with a gem on (his) right k-9 tooth. I need to speak to this man again! He helped me beyond words, and I have to thank him!! 🥰🥹🩷💜
Please help me find him and get in contact with him asap! Please, Vegas locals ! 🙏🏻
EDIT: if you know who he is, just please ask him if you can pass on his info to the blonde girl in the camo SZA hoodie with the purple backpack he helped out with—mention I had the keychain. He’ll know who I am. 😂
Worried about what I have been seeing, we connect from US in Lisbon to Italy. How do we do our best to make it through passport control. Everything I have been seeing is saying it’s taking hours and I don’t want us to miss our connection. Flying TAP air on one itinerary
I took my enjoyment of playing daily challenges such as the NYT, GeoGrid, MapTap etc and my interest and fascination with travel & aviation to create a daily flight puzzle. Building the game is all very new to me, so I am curious to hear feedback and where I can improve.

Hi everyone!
I’m currently in the early phases of working on a creative writing project centered around airports and the unique experiences they bring, and I'm looking for some real-life inspiration. I feel like airports are basically pressure cookers where normal societal rules and norms can vanish.
I'd love hear any and all of your best airport stories. It could be something unhinged, something that made you laugh out loud, cry, feel suspended in time, or anything in between.
I'll be reading through any and all comments for my project, so lay the details on me or feel free to reach out to me individually : )
Airport trips always end up costing more than expected, especially when you’re traveling alone. Parking, taxis, or rideshares add up quickly.
You’d think that since so many people are heading in the same direction, sharing a ride would be more common, but I don’t really see it happening outside of friends or family.
Do people just prefer going alone, or is it too difficult to organize?
Update: I recently found Gosplit, a platform that lets drivers and travellers share rides and split fuel costs. I haven’t used it myself yet, but I’m curious if anyone here has tried something similar before?
​
I recently learned private flights can use airports that commercial airlines usually don’t.
For people who’ve done this before, does that actually save a meaningful amount of time and how espensive is that?
Title: Request for Airside Filming Permission at Frankfurt Airport
Dear Fraport Media Relations Team,
My name is [first name], and I am an aviation content creator / filmmaker based in Frankfurt, Germany.

Purpose: Planespotting-focused YouTube video; aviation photography

Requested areas: Escorted airside location with safe visibility of runway operations and aircraft departures/arrivals near Runway 18 or 25, subject to operational and security approval.

I fully understand that operational safety and airport security are the highest priorities. I am prepared to comply with all airport regulations, escort requirements, safety briefings, high-visibility clothing rules, and any restrictions determined by Fraport operations or security personnel. If required, I can also provide my identification passport and previous aviation/media work samples.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Now, to you guys on Reddit: Do you believe that message is professional enough that I can get permission to enter airside with supervision?
