    Hi Ben,
    Can you recommend a travel insurance ( medical and free cancellation if possible ) for international . There are some out there on the web that I don’t know which one trusts. I watch most of your videos and you’re the best on UA-cam. I will take your advice wholeheartedly. Thank you.

    Hello Ben I am from Cameroon and really follow your videos closely.. Will soon be traveling with my daughter on an international flight . Can you please do a video on how to travel with a child especially when we reach the TSA.
    Do children equally have same kg as adults ?

      Hello Ndiana, that is a great video idea! I have two daughters myself but neither of them have been on a plane before. I need to learn the TSA process for traveling with kids since we are planning on doing a trip later this year. How soon will you be traveling?
      As far luggage requirements for children, it differs for each airline. Typically, if they are traveling for free, your children's luggage will count towards your own weight limit. Otherwise, if they are old enough to occupy their own seat then their luggage requirements will be the same as adults.

      @@ndianamagdalene Just about every airport has free WiFi that you can access. Whichever electronic device you are using just open up the WiFi setting and choose the airport name and you will be connected to the WiFi. I will warn you, the WiFi is not the best so it may be slow. You may be able to access WiFi on your flight for a fee.

    Is. no plane change mean i wouldn't have to get off the plane

    • @BenDreamVacations
      @BenDreamVacations  10 місяців тому

      In most cases yes, you will just stay on the plane while some passengers get off and others get on. Or the other scenario is that everyone will get off and then you will end up re-boarding the same plane.
