i'm in an airport

I"m going from SEA to ORD today and the airport is full of DOTA 2 fans (plus one guy in an Evil Genius shirt, could have been a player) and tweens in Taylor Swift t-shirts (her show was in Seattle last night). Pretty crazy to see so many young kids who had traveled to Seattle for entertainment.

LAX wifi as shitful as ever

welcome again to our shores, sic!

was in JFK last night, transfer from a domestic to an international flight; worst airport I've ever been in and I've been in some airports. Useful signage nonexistent and the food prices were hilarious

JFK has six terminals, each separate and distinct, which were built at different times and vary widely in quality and appeal. You may have gotten a bad one.

Terminal 5 (JetBlue + some Aer Lingus flights) is the nicest.

We landed at terminal 4 but had to get to terminal 1 and there were no signs on how to do that. The only way we knew we were even in terminal 4 was that we asked, and we also had to line up and ask to find out where our connection would be leaving from. Ultimately we had to take a bus, leave security, go through some other building (where the pizza vendors were helpful at least in directing us), then go outside, turn left (still no helpful signs) and then finally see a terminal 1 sign at yet another building. That terminal was ugly and had $9 gözleme but at least it was where we needed to be. It was great.

And to boot, we finally got our luggage today, 9 days after leaving JFK.

Sounds like a nightmare

Both NYC airports are circles of hell iirc (and I spent about 5 hours in LGA the other week.) For my money you really should drive to Newark. Or Idlewild ffs, which frankly is on the LIRR so sign me up.

we flew out of terminal 8 I'd rather terminal disease tbpfh

When I think of JFK I think of io with fervent love. She rescued me from two potential nights in that place, fed and watered and entertained me. Hoping she gets stuck in Pearson or Billy Bishop soon so that I can return the favour.

is Billy Bishop the awesome one you'd have to row to rescue her from?

sup mh

the queue-ass bullshit delayed other passengers so much that I'd been asleep for an hour when we started taxiing btw

I have a respect for anyone who is already asleep by the time the plane takes off. Lady next to me did that early this year. She also had a dog that magically showed up when we landed, it was completely in stealth mode the whole flight.

international terrierist

my first time being dropped at LAX by a genial Uber dude rather than a crying girl

had to tell it to forget the wifi in order to post obv

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.

this guys is really in an airport http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/ben-schlappig-airlines-fly-free-20150720

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.

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.
