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

― Ed (dali), Friday, 12 January 2007 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

is the plane out to get you?

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Friday, 12 January 2007 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

it will sink my street and the wood I am about to plant.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 12 January 2007 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

are the trains running concurrently on five parallel tracks?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 13 January 2007 00:29 (nineteen years ago)

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.

Oh, and I'm not itchy.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

yay!

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 (nineteen years ago)

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.

and it is harry belafonte's 80th birthday

― s1ocki, Friday, 2 March 2007 00:56 (nineteen years ago)

which i found out because i was listening to "...at carnegie hall" and i had this weird hunch it was harry belafonte's birthday so i looked it up

― s1ocki, Friday, 2 March 2007 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

oh god delay from hell

one month passes...

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

i wish!

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

i am in a stratosphere

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

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

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

no that was just ILM

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

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

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

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

― rrrobyn, Monday, 30 April 2007 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

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

― Pleasant Plains, Saturday, 2 June 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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.

― get bent, Sunday, 3 June 2007 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

"One Wink At A Time" by The Replacements

not "waitress in the sky"?

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

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

― Pleasant Plains, Sunday, 3 June 2007 02:36 (nineteen years ago)

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

― tehresa, Thursday, 9 August 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)

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

― tehresa, Thursday, 9 August 2007 11:43 (eighteen years ago)

Where did you come fro mand where are you going?

― nathalie, Thursday, 9 August 2007 11:56 (eighteen years ago)

Are you REDNEX in disguise?

― aldo, Thursday, 9 August 2007 12:03 (eighteen years ago)

lol

― ailsa, Thursday, 9 August 2007 12:05 (eighteen years ago)

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

― ailsa, Thursday, 9 August 2007 12:05 (eighteen years ago)

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 (eighteen years ago)

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...

― Jill, Sunday, 19 August 2007 03:23 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― Rock Hardy, Sunday, 19 August 2007 03:31 (eighteen years ago)

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

― s1ocki, Sunday, 19 August 2007 16:34 (eighteen years ago)

THEY ALREADY KNOW

Figs at Laguardia
