this is some BULLSHIT every hot dog stand in O'Hare should be open at 5am, why do you think I flew through Chicago

def eat as much as you can at O'Hare, you may never get out

Well, same goes for Chicago as a whole.

Literally the second thing I heard a Canadian say in YOW was "oh, eh."

was it in regards to a tim horton's coffee?

Had a whole 20 minutes in ORD this time, so got two hot dogs to make up for Thursday.

chilling in the Cathay Pacific first class lounge at SFO

it's under construction so there's just some bananas and mini-packets of chips

In a bus from the airport to home. At least they had beer at the airport.

Sea-Tac, 4am.

scene: Dublin airport, 5am, Saturday

young parents of toddlers. I mostly try to forbear from position of lol-i-got-nobody-pregnant privilege, but:

fled to the table next to me in the airport, literally landed down like a hurricane with two big fry ups for themselves. market value thirty quid. tray hadn't hit the table and she said right we have to go. toddler one looking at the food on the table and screaming, they got up and left. 45 seconds max. yerman grabbed a rasher off the plate to eat on the way. so they took two kids, fucked everyone off in the queue behind them, stressed themselves out, mithered the children with the sight of the food, left the whole lot on the table and ran off in a fluster immediately. this was in full knowledge of the time limit they were under in advance.

I was for vulturing, she said not.

last month had to demolish a lobster bisque in about 2 minutes but that's preposterous & u shd have wolfed down as much as you wanted, taken the disapproval

bet they had to wait 15 mins in a queue lol

twasnt a great fry tbf

ah fair

have personally awful memories of dublin airport, having consumed a genuinely poisonous 'steak sandwich' at a central dublin diner just beforehand, was burping phosgene every 3 minutes while trying to sleep, my just-married still freaking out our hotel room had a ghost in it (which is why we'd headed to sleep overnight at the airport), altogether the end of the honeymoon ended up lasting nearly 2 years then over n out

LAX, 8am. Fuuuuuuck having to leave the airport and go through empty security theatre nonsense twice before breakfast.

YYZ, 6pm. What a way to spend a birthday.

Mock the Week is a British topical celebrity panel game hosted by Dara Ó Briain. The game is influenced by improvised topical stand-up comedy, with several rounds requiring players to deliver answers on unexpected subjects on the spur of the moment.[citation needed]

It is made by independent production company Angst Productions and made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005. It was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the same people responsible for the comedy game show Whose Line Is It Anyway?[2] The show's theme music is "News of the World" by The Jam.[3]

Old episodes currently air on Dave, a fact that is frequently mentioned on the show. Episodes regularly attract 3.5 million viewers.[4]

40 minutes wait on the tarmac at Heathrow for a bus to take us to the terminal. Now standing in a half-hour queue for border checking whatnot. My suitcase will be dizzy by the time I get through.

Facing the grim prospect of eating at Chili's twice in the same day.

Tempted to start smoking cigars as Kuwaiti duty free is unsurprisingly not big on alcohol.

purell cocktail?

Going with FlyDubai, the local Easyjet equivalent. Their in flight magazine has lots of tips for up and coming tourist destinations they fly to, including Kabul, Sana'a and Baghdad.

when the senile king and his (supposedly) 30 yr old son get gently shuffled aside shortly then sana'a will go back to being a viable tourist destination for those who prefer their bombs improvised rather than laser guided

Yes, it looks fascinating but, as the wikitravel page notes, does carry an ever present risk of getting beheaded on video.

The only available outlet I could find during my 4 hour Sea-Tac layover requires me to sit in the tiny space underneath the arrival / departure sign in the N terminal so every once in a while I get a mass of people congregating in front of me and staring above me.

Second-longest security queue of my life at JFK.

how long was it??

fyi the smoked meat poutine at Lester's Deli in the Montreal airport is gross, do not eat it.

40 minutes or so. Halfway through they had a little station to check your passport and boarding pass, then continue queuing.

BTW by the end of this, it had taken me about six hours to fly from Toronto to London, and then three hours to get from landing to the house in north London I was staying in.

also I went to Stansted for the first time a few weeks ago, but due to a bout of diarrhoea (not mine) and a suicide (also not mine) ended up leaving the airport and renting a car and driving to another country.

Forty minutes is one of your longest? Are you including going through Customs, or just your run-of-the-mill metal x-ray deal?

Forty minutes seems about right, from my past experiences. Granted, I was sweating it out because of all my Kinder Surprises stocked with ninja stars inside, but still.

Waiting to get to the metal x-ray bit, just wending through ropes in the lobby

ps i really want this thread title to be changed to "where in the world is carmen (sic)diego"

he's in airports a heck of a lot

I gotta go home and get a job or sell all my records soon though ;_;

My only experience of JFK was a 45 minute wait followed by an hour-long security interview, so could be worse.

All British airports are terrible in September / early October as you have a lot of new students coming for the start of term and getting the third, fourth and fifth degree from the immigration goons. I think i landed at Stansted at midnight last autumn and cleared the immigration queue at 2am.

ugh even the Eurostar terminal at the Gare du Nord this weekend was like that, British immigration taking 15 minutes with one American kid who'd been in Paris for the weekend with his parents. stuck behind him I heard the whole spiel.

At the Denver airport w a 6 hour layover til my flight to Portland. Flight was at 7am so I stayed up the night before watching moat of TNG season 2.
