LAX terminal 4 is still a dump, but the food options are 100% better now (Kogi & Peets)

I'm in an airport (LAX United terminal 76), and there's a big group of college students who are way too energetic for this hour.

I always say I'm not gonna take United anymore, and the prices keep sucking me back in.

I'm in an airport, it's 6:11 a.m., and I've just had half a Three Musketeers bar to keep me awake.

I'm in an airport, London City, or 'baby's first airport', 2 and a half hour delay on a one hour flight to Holland, because of a bird strike, I appreciate the candour but eeeek!

Post-election mood at London Fisher Price is predictably positive. Rest of Newham probably less so.
Rarely happier to be leaving the country.

urrrggh at getting up at 5am on a Saturday to pick someone up at the airport
― ( who ALSO my boss and his sister!) (sic), Friday, 22 May 2015 20:45 (nine years ago) link
especially when they've redesigned the parking since last time you did this, so you accidentally pay an entire parking fee just getting an outside spot

hope you're picking up someone fun, at least!

I should never be in an airport before 7am
I forgot to take the liquids out of my bag during screening and no one even cared, though

I take back all of my past experiences of Midway airport in Chicago kind of being chill, though. Apparently since Southwest has expanded operations it's busy as hell. Still a lot less of a clusterfuck than O'Hare, but crowded.
― ultimate american sock (mh), Wednesday, 3 June 2015 20:40 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, they rarely give a shit about liquids being out anymore. I fly a lot, always leave them in my bag, get called out maybe 1 in 15?

Plane Stupid have re-formed and chosen today to launch their first action. My encounters with their members have been detailed elsewhere.
Currently stuck at LHR terminal 3 eyeing up the free whisky samples.

One of the smaller, narrower planes - 2x2 per row instead of 2x3. Are you going to Switzerland?

Just touched down in Edinburgh. Going to the south of France in a few weeks (same assignment)
It took me literally 15 minutes from leaving my front door to entering the airport, all with public transport. Wonder if that's an ILX record
― gawker's psychotic monkeys (imago), Monday, 20 July 2015 08:47 (eight years ago) link
I've doing LCY to Edinburgh for the last few weeks. Takes me about 30 mins which is great.
Stuck in the runway for half hour though.

Whenever this thread is updated, and I'm myself in an airport, my eternal hope is that I might be able to look across the concourse and wave

Feeling rather let down by Tegel, not sure why I thought it would have been some massive, unyielding Gilliamesque place, it's kinda toy irl.

I'm about to sleep in an airport. The Gatwick Yotel. It promises to be cramped. But in a nice way, like Cub Scout camping.

was in JFK last night, transfer from a domestic to an international flight; worst airport I've ever been in and I've been in some airports. Useful signage nonexistent and the food prices were hilarious.

Most insane queues I've ever seen at SYD this morning, taken me 90 minutes of non-stop cattleherding from door of airport to door of plane

I"m going from SEA to ORD today and the airport is full of DOTA 2 fans (plus one guy in an Evil Genius shirt, could have been a player) and tweens in Taylor Swift t-shirts (her show was in Seattle last night). Pretty crazy to see so many young kids who had traveled to Seattle for entertainment.

JFK has six terminals, each separate and distinct, which were built at different times and vary widely in quality and appeal. You may have gotten a bad one.
Terminal 5 (JetBlue + some Aer Lingus flights) is the nicest.

We landed at terminal 4 but had to get to terminal 1 and there were no signs on how to do that. The only way we knew we were even in terminal 4 was that we asked, and we also had to line up and ask to find out where our connection would be leaving from. Ultimately we had to take a bus, leave security, go through some other building (where the pizza vendors were helpful at least in directing us), then go outside, turn left (still no helpful signs) and then finally see a terminal 1 sign at yet another building. That terminal was ugly and had $9 gözleme but at least it was where we needed to be. It was great.
And to boot, we finally got our luggage today, 9 days after leaving JFK.

Both NYC airports are circles of hell iirc (and I spent about 5 hours in LGA the other week.) For my money you really should drive to Newark. Or Idlewild ffs, which frankly is on the LIRR so sign me up.
