i'm in an airport

XP: the only indoor smoking area I know of is in Milwaukee (again!), I think everywhere else I've been has been smoke-free...? I've never been laid over at Newark, tho, it's always either departure or destination.

I flew Northwest last year and they had the seat-back entertainment consoles. The games were pretty weak but the selecting and pausing the movies thing was great.

oh no, i loaded up on them, but after enough time reading in a seat, i get all-a-shifty

i'm smoke free now though, and looking forward to HNL to ORD; ORD to EWR; EWR to LAX; LAX to HNL over the course of 12 days next month.

stoked!

where's everyone flyin' to?

cuba

i was at an airport just FOUR HOURS AGO!

i'm in an airport

it's one of those airports w/o gates, just a door and a tarmac

one time i saw kyle mclachlan in this airport

elvis impersonator on a unicycle ?!?

Here we go

my flight's been delayed by about 3 hours...so far.

*twiddles thumbs*

two flights just got canceled due to "an illegal crew member"

?

oh wait, MY FLIGHT was just canceled.

FUCK

what the hell

It means that they've been working for too many hours.

yep

now i'm in a hotel near the airport, and just realized my luggage is in en route to chicago (for some reason. they told us that it would be impossible to get our bags tonight because they're "locked up", and to get them in chicago), along with my contact solution, case, razor, change of clothes, etc.

i did manage to get a 6am flight for tomorrow though, so i should still make it to chicago in time for the interview.

well, one of my bags made it here

just landed in chicago, 18 hours after first arriving at the DC airport.

wooooooo!

"an illegal crew member" is really code for worked too many hours? Wonderful choice of words. It's not as though people in an airport could possibly give any other alarming interpretation to such a phrase.

Dublin airport at Christmas is always quite poignant. Today no exception.

99% of the time i spend at airports is spent in a mixture of boredom and annoyance but it's nice to occasionally be reminded that the arrivals halls are some of the most joyous places you could wish to be at times.

Only took em 20 hours to get my luggage to me

I am looking forward to eating at the Hooters in the Frankfurt airport in about ten hours.

I'm at Ohare and through security 3.5 hours before my departure time. My flight doesnt even have a gate yet. But there's a semi competent lite jazz band playing Xmas carols.

And directly across from the band, seats with electrical outlets!

I'm at BUR with 30 minutes to go until boarding for the first leg of BUR->LAS->JFK. Free wi-fi, an outlet in front of the gate, trying to decide what to watch on my LAS layover... Captain America, Cowboys And Aliens, or Scorsese's George Harrison documentary?

Pilot: "And if there's anything I can do to make your flight more enjoyable, please let us know." DO A BARREL ROLL!

And can we get some inspirational music, cheers, and high fives when the seatbelt sign goes off after we land? "We made it guys! Woo!"

I'm in an airport. I have been here for six hours. I have twice boarded and disembarked the same plane and received eight delay notices.

How is your monday?
