I'm taking five trains tomorrow to avoid a plane.

so far i:

1) bought a breakfast bagel and coffee
2) watched CNN coverage of state of the union
3) fell asleep waiting for my flight to board
4) woke up about two minutes two late to still board.
5) got a boarding pass for the next flight (in two hours)
6) chugged some Air-Borne

I'm in an airport.

The ZRH terminal's color scheme is blue-grey and slate with a touch of red from the Swiss souvenir shop. I have an unconscious feeling that background music is playing somewhere but in true Enoian spirit I can't discern it. Large windows face the main runway and taxiways and there's just enough sunlight filtering through the clouds to vaguely color everything outside. With the exception of some ugly Americans (the ugliest being a loud guy in a Green Bay Packers sweatshirt who was berating a Swiss shopclerk because he couldn't take a liquid-filled snowglobe on a plane) most everyone here is pretty well dressed - businessmen taking one of the many outgoing flights to France, Germany, and Dubai.

Overall, I feel like I'm in a photo shoot for Nokia advertisments.

Zurich airport is my favorite airport in the world. That's right.

― is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Monday, 5 February 2007 09:59 (6 years ago) Permalink

I felt so out of place in the Zurich airport when I was on my way back from my summer holidays a couple of years ago. A 5 hr wait, after spending 24 hrs hopping on 3 planes back from China.

It sure is pretty though.

and the chocolate/sweet shop was great.

my flight was supposed to leave maine an hour ago but the plane i am supposed to be on hasn't even left laguardia yet. all of the shops are closed so i cannot even buy magazines or orange juice.

i also got sonned by airport security in an embarrassing gel-based personal product i didn't know i even had in my backpack (that must have been there from...summer?) beef :O

argggggggggggh

― bell_labs, Monday, 30 April 2007 00:45 (6 years ago) Permalink

omg insult to injury with gel-based product pwn
you have the internet though! now is the time to learn something new and interesting. or distract yourself with celebrity gossip. the choice it is up to you.

― rrrobyn, Monday, 30 April 2007 00:53 (6 years ago) Permalink

my plane is finally in the air and should be here in 45 miinutes @_@ we'll see. i opted to read ilx instead of something new and interesting!

― bell_labs, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:23 (6 years ago) Permalink

Haha omg for a moment there I thought you meant the plane was in the air with you in it! I was all "awesome, ILX posting while flying".

― Trayce, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:24 (6 years ago) Permalink

i wish!

― bell_labs, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:27 (6 years ago) Permalink

i am in a stratosphere

― rrrobyn, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:29 (6 years ago) Permalink

they banned ILX on public planes to minimize barf bag usage.

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:33 (6 years ago) Permalink

no that was just ILM

― rrrobyn, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:54 (6 years ago) Permalink

wait you're right
ILM ban was for all the furious masturbating

― rrrobyn, Monday, 30 April 2007 01:58 (6 years ago) Permalink

(haha ok i really hardly read ilm, i just could not not write that)

SONGS THAT ARE ALWAYS RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD WHEN I'M AT AN AIRPORT:

"Just A Song Before I Go" by CS&N
"One Wink At A Time" by The Replacements
"Flying Into Los Angeles" by Arlo Guthrie

i'm in miami! i feel like david caruso. YYYYEAAAAH! (this airport is horrible btw.)

― get bent, Sunday, 3 June 2007 02:02 (5 years ago) Permalink

I so did not think much of Miami's airport the one time I was there, the exception being the Cuban sandwiches (which I'm sure are much better in town and all but compared to most airport food in general are manna from heaven).

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 3 June 2007 02:03 (5 years ago) Permalink

Most beautiful airport (for real): Ushuaia in southern Argentina. Small, modern, all wood, huge ceilings.

― calstars, Sunday, 3 June 2007 02:07 (5 years ago) Permalink

the food options in american airlines terminal d are the pits. orange chicken is dodgy as a general rule, but this was a whole new level of bad.

"One Wink At A Time" by The Replacements

not "waitress in the sky"?

― get bent, Sunday, 3 June 2007 02:22 (5 years ago) Permalink

It should, but instead I get "Wink" going just by seeing the words BAGGAGE CLAIM up on the sign.

Been here since 445. It is so early! I am so tired! 3 hours of sleep owww.

(sorry, should just have excelsiored that, see my "people who talk without having anything to say" grievance on other thread)

Now I go home (I hope?) from buffalo to NYC but flight is scheduled to leave in 10 min and does not appear to be here yet.

― tehresa, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 00:22 (5 years ago) Permalink

Vancouver airport has free wireless. Hurray!

It's the strangest airport I've been to on my 10 week trip. It has a tiny waterfall and native art dotted around the place. More airports should be like this...

What is everybody's nomination for best airport food? I haven't been in many, and haven't hung around to eat in the all the ones I've been in, but Detroit had a long concourse with a bunch of decent looking eats, and I was able to get sushi during a short layover.
