    The TSA Pre-check is an optional program that you typically pay for. It is available at nearly all US airports. They essentially do a background check on you, and if no red flags show up, you're good to go. While you don't have to take off your shoes or belts, the big advantage is that during busy times, The TSA pre-check line takes a fraction of the time to get through. I've never spent more than 5 minutes in a pre-check line, and typically there is no waiting, just walk right through easy-peasy.

    If you’re going to spend time at the airport, you should interview people that are going home. How many of them are miserable sick and sad? That’s Vegas. The only vacation you take were you swear you’ll never do it again every time and you go home sick. if you go to Hawaii or any place like that, you come back with good memories and your soul is recharged from nature, you come back from Vegas you’re toxic broke ashamed and sick. What a town!

    I fly a lot. Parking is easy to find. There is a huge price difference between short and long term parking. You parked in long term in Las Vegas and looked at short term in Austin. Short term is expensive so people don't park there long term and the short term people can meet and pick up their people. And no, you're not supposed to turn your phone off on a plane. Just airplane mode. The line for taking nothing out of your bag, you need TSA Pre Check or Clear. Costs extra and they do a background check. LAS is my favorite airport. While I don't smoke anymore, I like that people can. They also feed the machines to help keep it so we don't pay state income tax.

    @nicholaswood3250 Год назад +1

    In the line where some people are taking things out of bags and some arent - most major US airports are phasing in new machines that can scan your bag without requiring you to take your laptop or other electronics out first. They’re very expensive, so they’re rolling them out as they’re installed rather than just installing all of them at once, so some lines make you take your electronics out and some don’t.

Also if you’re a disabled Veteran in Austin just tell to look at your license plates and you get free parking.

    LAS has changed in the 13 years we've been coming here. We fly out of Ohio airports due to expenses of small airports. Columbus (CMH) and Cincinatti (CVG) are our departure airports. We like only non-stop flights now and the return flight is always a red eye. LAS is always busy, and our flights are generally always full, can you say (Economy airlines). We've had stops before in Houston, Pheonix, L.A., and Dallas. Didn't care for any of these, but if you get used to traveling this way, you get used to one and don't pay attention to the layouts and crowds. TSA is a really convoluted experience no matter which airport you go to. Used to get pre check when we flew but started getting no pre check last several years. As this is the only airports we use, my view isn't much to compare with. My wife has to stop at the smoking slot machine facility first thing arriving and last thing leaving. Only airport we know of with that.

Put all the fun stuff after security so that you don't have to worry about the clock and lines and can enjoy all the shops and stores... DFW - My primary airport has nothing until you get through security... Parking is probably cheaper in Vegas because most of the traffic isn't locals needing a parking spot... Enjoyed the Video!

    Is the Austin airport parking price always that absurd? In San Antonio it's only 17 or 18 per day at the long term garage connected to the terminal, even cheaper if you park in the outlying lots and shuttle in. However, tickets out of Austin are usually cheaper than out of San Antonio, so they get you one way or the other apparently...

    My favorite airport in the US is my home airport: SFO. The reason is pretty simple. SFO is designed like a German airport, where there is a single loop where people get dropped off, and all the terminals branch off the main hub. This means to get to your flight all you need to do is go through security and walk in a straight line. It’s very easy to navigate.
    Also, having been to Harry Ried Itl. very recently, it’s also pretty simple. I find it’s a lot like a smaller version of London-Heathrow, where there are parallel runways, and you need to take a tram to get between them, but you can pretty much get anywhere pretty quickly after you get past security. It’s solid.

    Wow. Yes, everyone has WAY MORE experience flying than you. You have never heard of TSA Pre-Check? You really need to travel more. All good. It's just interesting that your channel viewers travel to Vegas & know exactly how TSA Pre-Check works in all airports as far as security & you describe it like it's new to world this year. So bizarre.

    Harry Reid International is not a great airport. Folks should know that the slot machines at the airport have the worst odds of any you will find. Concourses are narrow, and the men's bathroom at the end of the Southwest boarding area features 1 each toliet and 1 each urninal? And this is a major city airport! Compare this airport to Portland, Oregon. The new concourse for United and Southwest there is wide and tall with a modern, bright design. The airport has been named #1 in the nation by Conde Nast for several years. Plan a trip up there sometime (in the Summer) to see the difference!

    Just FYI, McCarren Airport still exsist but it's for the private airplanes for executives. Henderson Executive Airport now called McCarren a stone throw from Las Vegas (Harry Reed)
