| | A. | They will just check electronics for bombs or explosive materials through an x-ray machine. They won't actually look into it. | | | |

Airport noise is certainly a negative externality, why would people choose to live near airports? actually asker wants to know what are the benefits of living near airport. Why they live near airport if there is noise pollution?
| | A. | several reasons:
1. both of us work there
2. amenities: since the airport pays for noise mitigation, houses close to it tend to have new and good insulation, new windows and central AC - all of it paid for
3. it's cool to see your friend's plane take off ;-) | | | |
| Q. | Which international airport is in the most dire need of upgrading? | Related Search:
Air Travel | | | Wrack your brains, everyone, and think of all the major airports you've ever been in, no matter where it is in the world, and tell me which, out of all the airports, desperately needs upgrading? Do the airports have less than up to date technology? Do they have a poor safety record? Do they look shabby and in need of renovation? Are they filthy and need a good scrubbing from top to bottom? Are they not user-friendly? Are the runways poorly maintained? Does the local community lodge tons of complaints against the airport located there? Is the access to the airport very inconvenient? Are the long-term and short-term parking facilities a headache to use? Is the baggage claim area poorly designed? Are there bottlenecks? Do they need some reconstruction at their security checkpoints because they've been using makeshift facilities for that purpose since 9/11/2001? Whatever the reason, tell me which airport has got to get its act together and why!
| | A. | The Manila-Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1, which serves all international flights (except those of Philippine Airlines) is such a nightmare.
First, the terminal is outdated. With only 16 gates, some aircraft have to be parked at orphan gates and sometimes even in the cargo apron as the two aprons of the terminal can only accommodate as much as 16 aircraft at one time.
Second, the check-in counters are so wanting of repair. The baggage conveyors bog down every few minutes and the weighing scales do not work at all.
Third, the airconditioning is very poor. If you are a businessman queueing up for check-in, even on a business class line, you'd feel the heat and you'd want to take off your suit.
Fourth, the rest rooms are so decrepit. Sometimes the urinals and the water closets do not even flush. Worse, there are no tissue paper and soap in the wash rooms.
Fifth, the boarding gates are so crammed. If two full flights served by jumbo planes like Boeing 747-400s are parked at two adjoining gates, you'd expect that the passengers of both flights would be crammed in a space allotted for just half of one plane.
Sixth, the parking area is so far from the curb that passengers on wheelchairs have difficulty in navigating from car to terminal or vice versa.
Seventh, there are very few dining and shopping facilities in the transit area. How would you expect transit passengers to spend in the transit area if there's virtually nothing to do?
Eighth, the airport sits in a congested area of the metropolis, in Paranaque City. That suburb is populated by middle class families and subdivisions and villages are generally circling the airport. Thus, traffic is inevitable. It can take an hour to reach the departure area from the ramp approaching the airport.
Ninth, when it rains, the ceiling of the departure area drips. Don't laugh when you see pails or drums on the floor, virtually waiting for the next drop of water from the ceiling.
Tenth, the security measures are erratic. Some entrances may be strict while others are lax.
There are much more problems in Manila's gateway airport. It's such a pity that it used to be one of the best airports in the seventies. But as it is now, it has gone a sorry state. | | | |

Airport Name: Teterboro Airport, Teterboro, NJ
The planes there are mostly Jets...no Boeings or Airbuses...it is not an International Airport. Just an airport for jets.

Thank you again, and I will be choosing a Best Answer.
I'd like some more answers, please tell me the sources of this information.
| | A. | A small jet uses about 40 gallons an hour. that means it the equivalent of 20 cars that get 30mpg. thats not much pollution at all, considering that just in the general area of your house there are thousands of cars but only a few jets. | | | |
| Q. | Which airport should you fly into if you are visiting Texas to see the Dallas Cowboys play? | Related Search:
Air Travel | | | I've got tickets to see the 49ers play the Cowboys on Nov. 23, 2008 and I'm flying into Texas from NJ. Everytime I look up flight information there are 2 airports listed when I search for Dallas, DFW and Love Field (or something to that effect). Which airport should I fly into?
| | A. | Either one. It depends on where you are staying. DFW is closer to the field, but it's a big and very busy airport. Whereas, Dallas Love Field is smaller and easier to get into and out of. Southwest Airlines is the main airline out of Love Field with the occasional flights by American and Continental. DFW is an international airport, so all big carriers fly there. | | | |
| Q. | How does an airport qualify to be called international? | Related Search:
Air Travel | | | I live near two "international" airports and neither one has customs nor has either arrivals or departures from any country other than the continental United States The largest plane that flies into one is a 737--and that's not big. That same airport is smaller than some of the regional airports I've flown into. There has to be some type of qualification for it to be called International other than recieving international flights.
| | A. | It can be an international airport if private planes entering from foreign are allowed to land there. In that case Customs Inspectors (not agents) meets the flights. By law a private plane entering from foreign must land at the first designated airport to make entry. They have to provide at least two hours advanced notice to CBP. | | | |
