What questions can I help answer?
What are some of the questions they normally ask dependents ?
They don't usually ask the dependents any questions. When I travel with my kids they just ask me what their ages are and nothing more. If they are old enough to have their own ID then they will just have to present their ID and go through the same process as everyone else.
@@BenDreamVacations thank u
What is the process for packing a video game counsle such as an Xbox Series X for flying domestic or internationally?
@@carlosmelendrez1417 I would pack your console in either your carry-on or a backpack but you will need to take it out and place it in a security bin for screening. You can pack it in a checked bag as well but I would avoid doing so to avoid damage or theft.
Thank you 👍
You are welcome!
Hello again, I have another question! I will be traveling from PEK to CVG with ANA, with layovers at HND and IAD. When I arrive in Washington DC from Tokyo, will I need to check in my luggage again? Can you go through the overall process, as I am not very familiar with this. I am a 16 year old about to travel soon and I want to make sure that I understand the procedures before my traveling begins. Also, I have a big feeling that I will miss my flight from IAD to CVG, as I only have around a 2 hour layover. In this case, can I get my flight rebooked for free or will I have to pay for the new flight? Thank you so much!
Once you arrive in IAD you will have to collect your luggage and then go through customs and immigration. Once you are through customs and immigration there will be a drop off area for your luggage and then you will be able to proceed to your next flight. 2 hours should be enough time to go through that process and make your flight but if you should miss your flight to CVG then the airline will rebook you free of charge unless you booked the flight separately.
@@BenDreamVacations Thank you very much! Your videos are very helpful so I appreciate it!
In a few days, I will be flying from JFK to Alaska. Should I get to the airport 3-4 hours earlier before departure even though it's domestic?
If you are checking a bag then definitely get there at least 2 hours early. If you want to give yourself more time then make it 2 1/2 hours but I don't think you will need to arrive any earlier than that.
can i bring my portable handheld fan in my personal bag?
Yes, no problem to take a portable fan on the plane with you
@@BenDreamVacations thank you for responding back
Hello Ben, I traveled with ANA (All Nippon Airways) from CVG to PEK on June 26th. Once I arrived home and left the airport, I found my luggage to be damaged (one of the corners had a big dent). I completed the forms and submitted all of the proper documentation. However, the ANA office located in Beijing told me that they can only give me RMB 100 (around $14) as compensation. I tried asking for more but they refused to give it to me. They said the only two options I have was the RMB 100 compensation or they could give me a new luggage at the airport when I leave Beijing and check in. I am very unhappy with this and would like your input. What can I do and what are my rights as a traveler when dealing with a damaged luggage? Thank you very much, I am looking forward to your response.
It really depends on the airline and their policies and I am not too familiar with ANA but most of the time the airline will require you to report the damage in person before you leave the airport in order to get a proper compensation. Unfortunately, since you didn't notice the damage until you arrived home I don't think there is much more you can do to get a proper compensation from the airline. The other thing you can do is to check your credit card that you used to pay for the flight and see if it includes travel insurance which can reimburse you for damaged luggage. Also, you can try the manufacturer of your luggage and see if they have a warranty or a lifetime warranty that you can use to replace your luggage.
Can I bring a pack of gum on the plane?
No problem to take a pack of gum on the plane
So could I bring my cologne bottles inside my checked bag?
Yes!
@@BenDreamVacations sorry to bother again, so i’m planning on taking my playstation on my carry on bag, do I have to take it out and put it on a bin? Or can I just leave Inside
@@hxdz7712 you will have to take it out of your bag and place it in a bin.
@@BenDreamVacations I’m taking southwest tomorrow but i forgot if I can take a checked bag and two carry ons with me for free or would they charge any of those?
@@hxdz7712 You won't be able to take 2 carry-ons but you can take 1 carry-on and a smaller personal item bag like a backpack on the plane with you. Southwest allows 2 free checked luggage so if you have to check one of your bags you can do so without a charge.
Am I allowed to take cash on the plane?
Yes, no problem to take cash on the plane but no more than 10k if traveling out of the country.
@@BenDreamVacations thank you!
