QFMFT...

So are bus stations, but more so...
I love the smell of peat in the evening.  That smell, you know that earthy smell...  Smells like...whisky !

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

airports are not dirty and gross. if KCI was located on the KSU campus, chum1's thread would have 1 reply.


That reply?

I guess we have different def's of dirty & gross.  personally they're friggin gross to me + way overpriced for stuff. 

the gov't has put together a huge monopoly on where airplanes can land and take off basically forcing airplanes to use their facilities and thereby constricting the development of new and improved taking off and landing technologies.

runways/landing gear are ancient.  so are the other things associated with airports.

It was only an example pissclams.

Whatever man, it just seems like everything I like you have to bash and make fun. After awhile it starts to get old and beats you down.

I had the distinct pleasure of going to Florida last week, so here is a brief recap:

KCI, FTW!!  Getting in and out of there is incredibly fast and easy.  Luggage carousel, shuttle bus to the Economy parking lots, back on the interstate in 10 minutes, 15 tops.

Hotlanta - very busy airport, so kind of a drag if it's super-crowded.  Decent food choices, had some Chik Fil-A  :lick:  They have that subway thing if you have to change concourses and don't want to walk miles.

W. Palm Beach - lol, didn't know they even had an airport....but actually fllew there on a B757  :love:   Still a  dinky airport so if you had a long layover you might die of boredom first.
KSU Football:  We're getting the band back together

The walkway things, yes, helped some.  Still a long haul from Term C to E (not having to do security again, big+).  I had 1.5 hours to kill, so it was cool.

The electric cars were everywhere, so cyclist age folk were all set.

If you fly out of omaha you get to walk on the tarmac pretty much everywhere because most stuff that flys out of OMA (< legit flyer talk for the omaha airport) is tiny.

San Jose was the same way, you walk out on the tarmac. Not going to lie, I loved it. Seeing the big plane in person and going up the stairs was a top-notch experience. Flight attendants were on the ground & in the cockpit BOTH times politily saying "hello". But...herein lies the issue airports face today. Walking on the tarmac's is a much better experience for your travelers (BIG JET IN PERSON)...but you give off the scent of "small-time" and allow yourself to become a free target for potshots from the other big-time airports (denver would have a field day, particularly)
