And it has a Mikkeller bar, which is infinitely better than the Wetherspoons level standard that you expect of airports.

All of these sound nicer than Miami, which was a bunch (but not nearly enough) of those folding chairs wrestlers hit each other with in a room with no windows.

For a country that flies as much as it does American airports are quite astoundingly terrible. Special shout out to San Francisco, which doesn’t have those trays you empty your pockets into when you go through the metal detector so you just have to wedge all your stuff into your hand luggage.

I’ve never been in one with windows. They’ve all got that weird halogen lighting. Surprised they had chairs you could pick up - every single thing has been screwed down in the ones ive been to.

There’s a tram now which goes direct from virtually the end of my road to actually inside Manchester airport.

Basically about £30-£35 off every holiday as i used to insist on taxis to the airport and back.

Cashback!

I imagine that Miami Airport would have done that if they’d thought of it, but absolutely nothing about that place suggested any air of competence.

Miami is a terrible airport, Florida generally does them awfully, which is mad when you think how popular it is with tourists. Orlando has uncomfortable wicker furniture everywhere, it’s like being in a garden centre.

Getting a bus from the departure gate to the plane:

  • This is fine, i like a good bus and the fact it basically randomizes who gets on the plane first.
  • This is the pits. Time to cleanse the world with fire.

lol

Any experienced traveler knows to stand close to the door, in order to get up those stairs first.

Oh yeah totally, there’s survival of the fittest at play - but there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing the chump who started the queue for the plane before it has even landed smooshed up against the window of the bus opposite as you pull away on the bus you only just stepped onto.

Aw man, I missed this :disappointed:

People who stand by the door of a bus when there is ample room to move down are Tories, obviously.

blows my mind that non-millionaire people actually pay to use these

Last time I did this, I got groped by a baby. First it tried to grab my bum and when I shuffled round to get my bum away from it, it tried to grab my fanny. Hand up skirt and everything. Was the most action I’d had for months at the time but still fucking grim.

Did the parent respond in a pure casual manner too? Like a really mild telling off? “No no, leave the lady alone” I think that would make this situation worse.

Pretty much. I got off that bus as quickly as was humanly possible when we got to the plane.

I’m fizzing with anger over here.

Luton is the worst airport I’ve been to in any country. Stansted, other than the occasional long passport queue, is a breeze. I’m never using Luton again.

Yeah I’m with you guys. Majority of my flights are from either Luton or Stansted, and literally everything is worse at Luton. Shitter transport connections, more expensive (and shitter) parking, fewer facilities, generally just a terrible place to be.
