yeah chicago is pretty much the worst place in terms of weather to put a major national aviation hub right?

I'm outside an airport! I went through security to get coffee and back out to smoke. Two hours early for flight.

Very important to be early. I have a bad track record with making it onto the plane.

At YYZ, they ask that you take a survey:
"Which improvement would you most like to see at this airport? 1. McDonalds. 2. Free Parking Fridays. 3. Kids Zone."

I escaped the Cincinnati airport about 10 hrs after entering it. Delta did put us in hotels, but not until we'd been waiting for over 4 hours.

I was in an airport this morning, had already checked in online, didn't need to check bags, just wanted to print the boarding pass. Looking around for the self-service kiosks you're meant to be able to use and they were at the desks, kind of underneath, exactly where people are checking in etc, and at the end of the huge queue. Turns out it's ok to use them but it's not clear and really weird to just sail past the queue and push aside the people who're already at the desks, just to print the boarding pass.

Haven't been in San Jose Airport for almost twenty years and already it's my new favorite airport, period.

I had to show my passport/boarding pass to no less than 5 people to board my flight at LHR...yet somehow it was a very efficient, respectful process that didn't make me feel like crying.

i get to Nashville almost 2 hours late for my connecting flight because of bad weather in Philly, and the next flight i can get is (gasp) at 5:35 pm, meaning i would get into Oakand at 11 pm, and so i just went calmly and politely to the service desk and asked whether there was any way i could get to any airport in the Bay Area before 9 pm....and lo, the woman said, "this flight to my left is going to Denver, and then to San Francisco," and within 5 minutes i was on a moving plane. i tell ya, sometimes shit really works out okay! i'm now in my favorite airport in the US, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, and molesting this free wi-fi.

my chauffeur boyfriend dropped me off several hours early, and jetblue won't let me check my bag until 7 (it's 4:30 now). wondering if it's a security measure or if they just don't want to run the risk of losing the bag. either way, i'm sitting in the waiting area, lamenting the lack of outlets.
