Are you planning on flying out of the country this year? If so, have you even been on an international flight before? If not, there is also a good chance that you have never been in an international airport before. Even if you have visited an international airport before, is it the same one that you are planning on flying out of for your next trip? If not, you are advised to fully research and examine the international airport that you will be using. You will find that are an unlimited number of benefits to doing so.
Perhaps, the most important reason for familiarizing yourself with the international airport that you will be flying out of is so that you can know where you are going. Most international airports do not only house international airlines, but domestic airlines as well. For that reason, most international airports are fairly large in size. In fact, some are so large that they may seem overwhelming. By taking the time to research and examine each airport facility, namely the airport terminals, you will know where to arrive, where to park, and where to wait.
If you are interested in familiarizing yourself with the layout of your international airport, you have a number of different options. Perhaps, the easiest way is to visit the online website of the international airport in question. If you don’t already know the address of that online website, you should be able to find it by performing a standard internet search. Once you have arrived at the airport’s webpage, you should be able to find a map of the airport. Some international airports have interactive maps, but almost all airports have maps that you could easily print off your computer, if you wish to do so.
It is also advised that you examine all airport fees. These fees do not include the cost of your airline tickets, but the cost of using certain airline services or features. For instance, a large number of international airports, especially those large in size, have offsite parking. This means that the parking lots, which are often long-term lots, are not within a reasonable walking distance to the airport terminals. If this is the case, you will need to make different arrangements. Most international airports will offer shuttle rides to and from their airports, but not all are free. In the event that you will be charged for using a shuttle service, you are advised to determine that cost ahead of time.
Although you may be able to receive a free shuttle ride from the airport parking lot to your terminal, you will not be able to get food and souvenirs free of charge. Although it is impossible to determine the exact cost of your souvenir purchases or the cost of your food, you should be able to make a reasonable estimate. This estimate may be important, especially if you are traveling on a limited budget. By examining the shopping centers and restaurants that you will have access to, you should be able to decide how much or how little you would like to spend at the airport.
You will also want to see if the international airport that you will be using has an estimated arrival time. Almost all airports request that you arrive at least two hours before your flight is scheduled to take off, but some international airports have other suggestions or advice for travelers. If you find that the airport recommends arriving three hours early, you are advised to arrive three hours early. This will help to ensure that you are able to make your international flight. If a problem should arise and you miss your flight, it may be difficult to schedule another international flight right away; you may not only be required to wait a few hours, but a few days.
As you can easily see there are a number of different reasons why you should familiarize yourself with the international airport that you will be flying in and out of. With this research taking a maximum of a few hours, you are advised to do it; you are guaranteed to walk away better prepared.
Watch the video related to airport
First of all, this is a collection from YouTube. I would like to thank all the enthusiasts from YouTube especially Mr. Boyd Kelly (airboyd of YouTube) which I used their best fragments to make this special Kai Tak video. Background music is from “633 Squadron” by Mr. Ron Goodwin. Kai Tak Airport VHHH (1925 – 1998) VHHX (since 1998) “traditional Chinese: 啟德機場” was the world’s busiest international airport. The growth of Hong Kong put a strain on the airport’s capacity. The airport was …
Help answer the question about airport
what is the difference between an international airport and a domestic one?
I mean, let's imagine (maybe it is so) that i.e. Salt Lake City airport is an international airport, but they are actually no international flights, just domestic ones. Is he then still an international airport, even with just domestic flights? Or what does an airport needs to have to be classified "international" (besides customs…)?

idk why…but i found this hysterical…
I don’t know why but this cheered me up.
nice
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
They will just check electronics for bombs or explosive materials through an x-ray machine. They won't actually look into it.
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.
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.
apparently there’s no women on the plane except for the flight attendant
this is great haha (Y)
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.
