Airport Secrets That Are Never Told To Passengers

Airports are full of hidden secrets that most passengers never get to hear about. From insider tips on how to avoid unnecessary fees to behind-the-scenes operations, these little-known facts could change the way you travel. Discover the secrets airlines and airport staff don’t want you to know and make your next trip smoother and stress-free!

You sure REPEAT a lot of information! It is weird... unless you believe most of us are stupid.

0:45 I just did all of the above passing through 3 airports and nobody cared
Also sat in that seat in OGG and again nobody cared except for me because it was the best seat to use for plane spotting 😅

Is this a re-upload? 🤔 I've seen this video before & it was way before the upload date.

Duty free is for international passengers only

What happened to me once, I arrived early at the airport in Nashville. They sent my baggage on an earlier flight. They said I could fly home early. I declined because I wanted to look around the airport. At my destination, the baggage hold area had my suitcase

its a glued together of 2 or more lis of stuff videos because some stuff like the proifiler are at last 2x in it.

So why don't sit there?
Like to undo the clickbait.

I don't know how people use their phones at an airport? I get such poor reception that I can't. I put it in airplane mode and shut it off

I'm 70 and a retired engineer. I have arranged my lifestyle such that I have never flown and I never will.

Don’t bother with this, it repeats the same info over and over again

[nairobi]

I wanted to do a spontaneous trip to Lincoln, Nebraska and was kept in custody and interrogated by the CIA, Homeland security and the NSA.

[Mcfreddo]

Yeah, airports used to be government/ council owned and now they're privatised. That's not in the consumer's interest, is it?

[davidwayne]

I see how they repeat the same things over and over again and people are complaining about that. It's the same things but it added a different touch of the same topic The first one was referring to airport design is making left hand turns in the duty free zones in order to manipulate the people that are mostly right-handed in the world so they're going to be going to the left so all you're going to be looking to is the right. This second one was about the carpets and making him for more comfortable and making them buy more because of this impact is a customers that are comfortable are going to initially purchase there something either a drink dinner even I've seen people buy suits suitcases clothes everything from souvenirs to water bottles that it cost $6.😂 9:23

An *X* at the end of an airport code usually designates an international airport.

Your statement about condensation trails ("con trails") is incorrect. What did you think changed the "cold dry air" to "warm moist air"?

Apart from impurities, all petroleum based fuels, and many others such as coal and natural gas, are converted when burning into different proportions of carbon dioxide and steam, which are both invisible gases at the temperatures they leave the engine -- which is why the con trails always start at a distance behind the engine. As the exhaust cools, first the steam turns to water (the temperature of the boiling point of water varies with temperature and at the heights airliners cruise at, this is about 70 °C (155 °F), compared with 100 °C (212 °F) at sea level. Dry air can hold a certain amount of water as tiny invisible molecules of water (called water vapour), but the colder it is, the less it can hold, and at -40 - -57 °C (-40 - -70 °F) which is the approx temperature at cruising altitude, the amount is tiny, and nearly all the vapour coalesces into tiny droplets which show as cloudy white in sunlight. Just like an engine, humans "burn", ie oxidise, our fuel (food) and this is why the human "exhaust" (what we breathe out) shows as a cloud in low temperatures, but is invisible in warmer temperatures.

However, freezing point barely changes with pressure, and in the air at the altitude large planes fly at (9 - 12, 000 m, 30 - 40, 000 ft) the water droplets very quickly change into ice crystals. So what we see as con trails are trails of ice crystals from the engines' exhausts, showing brighter in the sun than trails of water vapour would be. (Normal weather clouds are also made up of water droplets, which in quantity block the sunlight and appear dark, or ice crystals which reflect the light well, appearing white, depending partly on their height.)

Incidentally, in humid weather a close observer may sometimes see swirls of white trail behind an aircraft's wings, following the vortices these produce in flight (sometimes known as "wake turbulence"). These occur when the additional velocity, and therefore reduced pressure, caused in the air from the action of the wings in creating lift, reduces the amount of water which can be held as invisible molecules, and some coalesces into visible droplets.

Finally, carbon dioxide passes direct from gas to solid ("sublimes" or "sublimates") both at sea level and at the cruising levels of large planes, but the temperature is a little below the air temperatures encountered there. However, at the higher levels Concorde and other supersonic planes fly at, the con trails may include crystals of solid carbon dioxide ("dry ice") as well.

"A dispatcher" handles airline operations, not air traffic or things like airport lighting lol

I love this part at the end where it gives you a bunch of facts about everything compared to how cats purr and tigers roar I think it's a good thing you guys put this at the end so people can get like respective of all kinds of interesting facts and tidbits they could come up with when they're speaking to people in other countries or on their way to a lift ride or a airport drop off any kind of stuff like that any kind of interaction that you want to socialize more because now we have so much more freedom without the you know that one thing that happens with the mask I can't remember what it was called 38:07

[davidwayne]

I love the way they implement the NLP into airport design to not only boost their profits of you buying something because most like you're going to buy something and a place that's designed strictly to invoke the most positive responses from your subconscious mind. People would call that manipulation or mind control some other people would actually call it capitalism at its best or worst. Anyways keep up the good work very informative I'd like to hear more about the restricted items list and anything I should know before I visit my next airports.

Toward the end, it has nothing to do with airports

I've taken toothpaste on flights numerous times.
