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
― ( who ALSO my boss and his sister!) (sic), Friday, 22 May 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link
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.

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

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.
― Josefa, Monday, 10 August 2015 14:55 (eight years ago) link
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.

When I think of JFK I think of io with fervent love. She rescued me from two potential nights in that place, fed and watered and entertained me. Hoping she gets stuck in Pearson or Billy Bishop soon so that I can return the favour.

is Billy Bishop the awesome one you'd have to row to rescue her from?

I have a respect for anyone who is already asleep by the time the plane takes off. Lady next to me did that early this year. She also had a dog that magically showed up when we landed, it was completely in stealth mode the whole flight.
