I should have sought out this one the last time I was there. I had an hour to kill since after loading everyone on the plane and having us fasten the seat belts, they figured out there was a "loose piece of metal" on the bottom of the plane and we'd have to switch planes.
The Anchor Steam Brew Pub in the airport made a nice tuna sandwich that my expense account paid for, though.

Hello from Dubai. Only two hours to go before my connecting flight, but fortunately I have an excellent buffet not ten yards from my chair. I have been at the mini pittas and halloumi. But my body clock is fucked.

I am in an airport as well. JFK. It is well air conditioned in here. Thank you for the internet, JetBlue, it seems helpy.

lax, frontier airlines, sleepy
― get bent, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I miss the days of being able to just wander around an airport. Each time I go through LAX, I get "locked" inside the international terminal which is basically just one long hallway with a newstand, a duty-free shop, and a Burger King.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Hi, JBR!
― Laurel, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link
LAX does have some of those caged in smoking areas that you can access even after you have been locked down. which is better then most
― carne asada, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:38 (sixteen years ago) link
hi laurel! i'm sitting in a corner of the terminal and a couple of cute australian kids are playing with matchbox cars in front of me.
― get bent, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link
St Louis has smoking fishbowls, too! They're actually better than usual, b/c they're not completely enclosed so the 4th side is open to the terminal, they must just have really efficient ventilation systems (b/c you can't smell any smoke outside 'em).
The best is still Minneapolis, though -- the smoking section is attached to a honest-to-god BAR, and it's just around the corner and down the hall from the best used bookstore I have ever been in.
― Laurel, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link
I liked Minneapolis with their tiny little escalators.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:51 (sixteen years ago) link
memphis has a bar you can still smoke in. in terminal c i think, i know it's not in the same terminal as american airlines.

I will be in two airports today. Except they're Orange County's and Oakland's, and therefore there is nothing to say about them.

I'm not in an airport, tho.

I remember standing outside Oakland's airport, trying to work the machine that gives you a bus ticket to the BART station at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. It ate all my quarters and I just stood there wondering what I was going to do when the bus came. (It finally spit out a ticket saying that I still owed a dollar.)
I got on the bus and sort of spazzed out trying to explain to the driver that I had put in the full fare into the machine, but it had short-changed me.
She responded by saying "It's cool! Relax, man. Have a seat." That was the moment that California won me over.

Little Rock's cool since they added the video screen showing weary passengers stomping up the departure corridor.

It's in the new waiting area since you can't go into the actual terminals anymore.

nah. I was over there for work for the last couple of weeks. Little Rock is OK! I'd never spent any time there, other than passing through going to TX. Perhaps a little on the sleepy side, but they seem to have done a lot of things right that Mem got wrong.

Tomorrow I go from SNA to SEA. The best thing about SNA = the "FAA approved" takeoffs for reduced noise. Basically wind the plane up hard on the tarmac, release the brakes, zoom sharply up to a couple thousand feet, then cut the engines and coast out over the ocean. Eventually the engines get kicked back in and away you go.
