I love airports
random i know but i just love the atmosphere in an ariport
especially when you catch a red eye flight and you have to wait for your next flight near the gate
and you can usually watch the sun rise through the windows

I've only been to the airport like once or twice. Which is odd considering the airport is like 5 minutes from my house. When I was really little I thought it was cool to stand by the huge windows and watch my grandpa's plane land.

I like airports, only if they're clean. But LAX, is horrible.

Gah, I hate airports... ugh. And I hate red-eye flights! And I hate all the freaky strangers, especially when FAT people have to sit next to me... and their over-sized bodies are spilling over into my side of the chair, and their flabby elbows are taking up the whole arm rest.

Miami is by far the worst airport ever. Imagine sitting on the runway for an hour and a half after your flight lands, running through the airport in socks, and finding out that your connecting flight home is delayed because of rain. Ladies and gents, my trip home from Trinidad.

I love airports too. They're really unique places... There's something different about all of them. Getting on a plane is my favorite way to travel happy.gif

I think McCarran in Las Vegas is incredible.

I love the atmosphere in an airport as well. It's really busy and exciting. I get butterflies in my stomach. Airplanes, on the other hand, not so much...

you mean the "High Flyers Club"??

alot of ppl hate airplanes because of economy class
you know how you have to sit so close to the fatty next to you
or something like that
i guess i know what your talking about
ive been on over 40 flights
and theres always been one person (or more) who ruins your flight

on one of them there was this 12 year old fatty who must've had baked beans or sumthing coz he was like a nuke goin off all night long
sick.gif
and another time i had a mum with her three kids behind me
the kids must've been 1, 5, and 10
one cried constantly, the other screamed alot, and the other kicked my seat...memories.... crazy.gif

i dont love planes, i just love airports
except LAX, ive missed 3 planes waiting at the check up

I like airports. I suppose I should for how many I've been too.

The best one I have to say was the one in Boston, it was so peaceful and clean. The only thing that f**ked it up was the nasty black person running wendy's. I mean of course fast food isn't professional, but he could have at least carried himself better and dressed casual..khaki pants casual. Not his with "his boys" casual >_>

but it was really nice, and it was almost like one of those nice airport experiences that you have in the movies.


OMG the worst airport ever was the New York City, the JFK one I believe. God knows it was the most disgusting place ever, and they make the worst coffee ever.

awe! that really sucks, I usually get stuck by decent people. I mean we don't talk or anything but they don't bother me either. I usually leave on wednesdays or thursdays and get stuck by business men. Although once I got stuck with this one older woman and she reminded me of my grandma and she was so nice and sweet.

I hate nothing more than airports. I hate dragging my luggage through the crowd, checking in with my luggage, waiting in line to get my shit scanned before I can get on the flight, not being sure if I'm at the right terminal and looking silly trying to figure it the hell out. I hate the shitty restaurants they usually have that offer battered shit like what you would see in the south. I hate the fact that whatever they say over the intercom, it always feels important yet you can't understand it.

Hate it.

i guess its just the airports here in australia that are nice

when i was younger
i had those shoes with the wheels in the heel
"heelies" i think they were called them
but anyway
they were the best fun in airports
in fact airports were the best place for them
smooth floors and heaps of room to do it in
most of the security guards would look at you and do a double take
coz they look like normal shoes
in fact i was asked by a head security guard
where he could get some for his lil boy
haha laugh.gif

its a shame i grew out of them
they were hell fun

Honestly, I really don't like those. I'd rather walk. The worst thing about them is that if you're in a hurry, you've got to wind your way around all the standing people. That's if they're not blocking the way. stubborn.gif

I'm not too fond of them. I mean, you have to arrive at the airport like 5 hours in advance just to board a 3 hour flight. sad.gif Gotta go through security and all of that, you don't even have time to visit the gift shops or take a breather. Maybe its just me.

Something ALWAYS goes wrong when you go to an airport. It's a must. But they are spiffy looking. The only one I remember is Dulles (The one near DC.) woooh picture.

There's a man that currently lives in an airport, right? I remember hearing stories about it and watching a segment on Ripley's Believe It or Not.
