Why Do I Hate the Airport So Much?

While sitting at the DFW airport for 5 hours, I contemplated what I could do to improve the
"waiting" experience. I realized the most frustrating part was the continued sitting posture that all the chairs required you to adhere to. I noticed everyone using the seats in all sorts of manners (could be a sketch problem in itself), but never the way the chair was intended. Give the people more choices! We're paying enough for a four hour ride to deserve it!

  1. I agree!!! Especially if you get to the airport early and want to lie down... you have the choice of sleeping on the floor or attempting to wriggle your body over or under the obnoxiously large armchairs. Also, airports need more plugs... I always find myself sitting on the floor next to a column because that's the only place I can find a plug!

  2. 5 hours is a lot of time! I saw where some airports are offering little hotel type rooms to stay in while you wait. Sounds like it could become a racket though! Delta could begin to make money off your waiting time!

  3. When I got stuck at the Munich Airport in December for 6 hours, I couldn't handle it. So we left. We took the train for an hour into the city center and explored - neither of us had ever visited before! I hate waiting at the airport when I could be out doing or learning or walking!

    Mary was interested in exploring airports as part of the thesis formation talk - maybe she will solve some of this for us....
