i'm in an airport

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

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.

It sure is pretty though.

and the chocolate/sweet shop was great.

i can has airport?

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.)

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).

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

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"?

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.

Now I am at destination airport waiting for ride. Most efficient flight evar.

Where did you come fro mand where are you going?

Are you REDNEX in disguise?

lol

(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.

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.

i bought a banana with a credit card in frankfurt airport once

tell a friend.

THEY ALREADY KNOW

What is everybody's nomination for best airport food?

Figs at Laguardia

this line is poetry

Any good eating at Schipol (Amsterdam)?

I've had above average food at PIT, ZRH, and TUC

ah the lovely cities of Pit, Zoreh and Turoc.

i had KFC in prague airport

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.
