pro'hare tips for when you have an 9hr layover but don't have the energy to leave the airport:
have swim trunks with you. you can get a day pass to the airport hilton fitness centre (between the terminals, no shuttle bus) for $15, and then spend 3 hrs swimming and in the deserted steam room and sauna. you could get your money's worth here with a 2h layover, even allowing for walking/security time.
you can get a united club pass on ebay for about $10, and then get v drunk for no extra charge except tips.

Where is that?
― caek, Monday, 15 April 2013 11:20 (eleven years ago) link
I go to the one near K4 in Terminal 1 because I mostly fly American, maybe there's one near the united terminal too
― Euler, Monday, 15 April 2013 12:54 (eleven years ago) link
i know the one in the united terminal! never eaten there. next time.

Stuck in Kansas City. Have to somehow get to OKC tomorrow. Flight has now been delayed enough that even if I get to Dallas tonight, there's probably no way I'd be able to leave in time.

KCI is mellow but there's nowhere to eat & you're 20 miles from the city. sucks

Made it to Dallas, got stuck here. They gave me a cot.

I usually see HLN or CNN in airports, I think I remember there being a special airport version of CNN in the past but that doesn't really make sense.

I'm in an airport and it turned out fellow longtime ILXor Lukas was right in front of me in the security line. A strange coincidence.

I'm in JFK and I'm stuuuuuuuck and I was on standby and then they cancelled that flight too and then they reinstated it and I lost my place in the line and I complained and now I am 'status Y' which is good, apparently. But I still think I won't get out of here till tomorrow. There's a Shake Shack, though.

i was supposed to fly today, but jetblue canceled my flight.
so instead of jfk to bur on monday, it's lga to lax on tuesday, on a different airline. at least i'm not sleeping at the airport tonight.
jetblue's customer service through all this has been really poor. i used to be a fan, but now i dunno.

It will possibly suck getting a big suitcase up the subway station stairs, but if you want to lie down somewhere warm it may be worth it.

I have to fly through Chicago with a one-hour changeover tomorrow. There's a direct flight which skips weather, that they won't let me change to without paying $900.

Make friends with some chilxors asap is my advice.
― Horreur! What are this disassociated lumps of (in orbit), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 04:45 (ten years ago) link
the problem is that both airports are way too far from most chilxors to make a one-hour changeover worth it.

airports are extremely relaxing environments, mostly cuz there's computerized voices often. they are my favorite environments, besides train terminals (and trains)

Now crashing in Long Island City with friend of friend I fancied 18 years ago (alas, not any more). Contact has been made off-board with in orbit and plans to crash at hers if/when my flight tomorrow is cancelled as well... (in orbit: no big case; I packed hand luggage for this contingency. JFK can look after the case till they can get me on a flight).

no, the actual problem would be ice potentially grounding my connecting flight, and me not getting to London in time to meet my RTW ticket again, two days later
but things may be working out better
