Airports (polls/regular chat)

We walked along the waterfront there last month and I was trying to figure out how the hell it was accessed. Took a ferry tout the islands and watched a continual stream of planes of all sizes skim across the bay.

Yeah, Gatwick being a 30ish minute train from the city I live in puts it way out in front as London airports go

Really enjoyed El Nido airport in the Philippines. Literally just one single-storey building and a bit of tarmac

I flew out of Beziers once, which I seem to remember was basically a cafe with some security gates attached. Great stuff.

Not a terrible view at this airport, but those lattices are annoying

Been to Copenhagen airport far too many times. It’s fine.

Manchester was surprisingly good this morning. Really fast getting through and efficient boarding

I’m fairly regularly at CPH, it’s decent but yeah nothing outrageous. And I never have the time to stop off at the Mikkeller bar for a beer

Skiathos is pretty mad. Just go and stand on the road and almost have your head taken off by a big plane

At the airport.

Brits - turn up for a flight looking like they’re going to do a big sesh at the gym.

Germans - bootcut jeans and tactical t shirt.

Spaniards - big ‘Oxford’ hoodie plus jeans.

The view from Marrakesh airport is star-shaped (and the windows need a clean)

For all the train nerds out there, the upgraded Gatwick station is very spacious

Still a lot of work to finish though
