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

Air Travel | | | over the summer i am going on vacation......i broke my leg a couple of years ago and now have a plate and ten screws in my leg....will the metal in my leg beep in the metal detector at the airport?
| | A. | Yeah it will go off and TSA will have to wand you down to make sure you aren't packing any weapons inside your leg like robocop. Even if you have a Dr's note saying that you have pins in your leg, they will still have to wand you down.
Just make sure that you leave a lot earlier than you normally would because this will certainly add more time to your commute! | | | |

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First, the terminal is outdated.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. | | | |
| Q. | What airport should I fly into in San Francisco? | Related Search:
San Francisco | | | Hi I'm planning on taking a trip to San Fran in July. I've been there one other time and flew out of the San Jose airport. Don't wanna do that again. My friend told me not to fly into the main SFO airport but I can't remember why. There are several other airports listed for the San Francisco/bay area. What do you recommend? I will not have a car so I will need transportation from the airport to the hotel.
Thanks! I'd like to just fly into the main one - any reason not to?
| | A. | I've never had a problem with SFO, and I've flown in and out of there countless times. You could take BART, or a lot of hotels have shuttles that go by outside the lower level baggage claim. That's where I've seen them while waiting for my bus. Call your hotel and see if they have a shuttle. | | | |

Aircraft | | | I live almost a mile away from a medium-sized airport.
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.
How will living next to this airport affect my health?
Noise is not the problem, I am worrying about pollution.
What will be the consequences of this?
Will it affect me a lot in the long run?
Is it something I need to worry about?
Should I move?
I appreciate all answers but detailed, helpful answers will assist the most.
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 is the nearest and the easiest to get to Barcelona city? Reus or Girona airport? | Related Search:
Other - Spain | | | I am planning to visit spain this year. There is 2 airport in Barcelona from Stanted airport by Ryanair which is Barcelona (Girona) and Barcelona (Reus). I wonder which one is the nearest, the easiest and the cheapest to get to the Barcelona city?
| | A. | Girona.
Both airports are over an hour away by bus. The problem is the last bus. Check carefully if your flight arrives around 10 p.m.
Girona is better because it is a bigger airport. The Airport website says Ryanair runs buses into Barcelona for their flights. I suggest you phone them if you are arriving late.
The best flights for Barcelona are those that go into Barcelona airport but pay no attention to cheap flight snobs. After all the Queen of Spain once used Ryanair because it was more convenient! | | | |
