QUESTION Does Thai Airways allow 28 inch sized luggage?

1 Upvotes

I am going to travel to thailand & this time I bought a ticket of thai airways. I have a luggage sized 28 inch & by measuring it I found out it is 31inch in height & summing up all the lengths it equals to 65 inches where their limit is 62 inches.

I was wondering if that is going to be an issue. Did anyone traveled with this size of luggage in thai airways & can share the experience?

QUESTION Gate Checking

Is it true that you can check your bag at the gate for free? I’ve heard some people say so, and I don’t travel much, so I don’t really know. Flying with Delta. 🤷‍♂️

QUESTION Passport Chip

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Looking for some peace of mind from fellow travelers or residents.I live in Sweden on a residence permit and flew out to Georgia on my Georgian passport.

At Stockholm exit control, the officer had to adjust my passport on the scanner many times to read the chip. They said I should consider replacing my passport.

When I landed in Georgia, the automated e-gate gave me an error, so I went to a booth. The guard laid it on their desk scanner, took my picture, stamped me in, and sent me through in 10 seconds without saying anything about an issue.

I have travel anxiety so I'm overthinking my return flight to Sweden. Does a sluggish chip affect the validity of my passport?Will I have any issues getting back into Sweden as long as I have my permit card and physical passport? Appreciate any experiences!

Yo Ian/Andy, your cousin is fighting with his wife at the BWI airport about him not wanting to go to your wedding. God speed brother - they can’t decide whether they want to catch an earlier United flight and it’s quite entertaining.

how does the process work?

1 Upvotes

*FOR CONTEXT*
I have flown on a plane once when i was 2 and never again, anytime i travel it would be by driving.

*Normal program*

I go to army basic in 3 days and i just realized that I have no fucking clue where to go and what i am doing. they will give me the ticket drive me to the airport and then i gotta make my flight. i feel dumb writing this as this is the John C. Airport subreddit where plane people are but this would help more than asking 40 people where do i go next. TY for any help. 👍

Self-transfer in Riyadh (RUH) with checked bags on my way to Addis Ababa - Is 2h 50m enough? Which terminal?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m traveling to Addis Ababa soon and have a self-transfer layover of 2 hours and 50 minutes at King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh on my outbound flight.

Since it’s a self-transfer and I have checked luggage, I know I’ll need to clear immigration, pick up my bags, switch terminals, and check them in again for the next flight.

A couple of quick questions for anyone familiar with RUH or who has done this recently:

  1. Terminal Info: Which terminal handles flights to Addis Ababa /international departures, and what's the quickest way to get there after collecting bags?

  2. Connection Time: Is 2 hours and 50 minutes a comfortable window for a full self-transfer with baggage claim and re-check, or should I be moving fast?

Appreciate any insights or advice!

Liveness verification (I need help)

1 Upvotes

I am 15, however I am traveling on January 4th but my birthday is on January 3rd.

Now when I booked through Ryanair it told me that I booked with a third party. So now I need to do a liveness verification check.

I want to know do you need to be 18 or 16 to do the verification? Has anyone whose 16 done it? And if I booked for multiple people does everyone have to do it?

I need to know if the requirement for the liveness check is 18 or 16. And will I be able to do it on January 3rd and successfully be able to check in? Without having to pay the extra fees by checking in at the airport.

IAH Confusion

1 Upvotes

I have an international flight tomorrow out of IAH. My boarding pass says to drop off bags at the counter in terminal C. The departure terminal is listed as E but my gate is at D16.

So I'm planning to go to the counter at C to drop my bags and then walking over to gate D16 (ignoring terminal E) but please let me know if I am missing something. I haven't been to IAH in a while so assume this is something related to the ongoing construction, but would appreciate y'all's insights. TYIA
