I wish Southwest flew INTER-continental so that I'd have more use for my Southwest points.  I flew American for a while there, and saved up a couple years worth of American flights and am taking wife and kids to London/Paris this summer.  Southwest points are great for US travel and Caribbean, but my kids are the age now where I want to do more overseas travel with them.

No way Birmingham has three terminals (or more) with 40 gates per, lmao. I’m guessing DFW just because of the AA gate, the number of terminals, gates on only one side, and the fact that it’s a shithole. Turn around and it’ll say “D, E, Toilets”

I flew RyanAir from London (no, not LHR) to Basel for like $40. It was like flying in a giant, shared hostel dormitory. One dude had a cat.

I have to fly easyJet, for work, every year from London Gatwick to Krakow and it's a crap show from start to finish. The bag check is a conveyor belt with like a dozen kiosks and like three employees. The conveyor stays getting stuck. Then they don't post the gate until 30 minutes before boarding. Want to get food, eff you. They don't have jet bridges so you have to board on the tarmac, no matter the airport. The boarding process isn't for boarding the plane, it's for boarding a bus that takes you to a plane then you walk up ladders to get on the plane, like it's rough ridin' 1958. The planes are always full and the smallest euro seats you can ever imagine. Getting to Krakow and experiencing their eastern bloc paramilitary boarder guards with machine guns is always a relief.

I was flying Lufthansa last month and had to do the same bus thing in both Frankfurt and Munich. Also done it with ANA in Narita.

I recently realized that O'Hare is by far the rough ridin' worst in Chicago. Midway seems pretty seamless to get through. What happened?

Yeah, I have read that the bus-> tarmac->stairs thing is pretty common in Europe.

I think all flights from KEF back to the US were that way.

Cool story bro time: first time in business class, priority boarding and all that from KEF to mci. Of course priority boarding just meant I was the first on the bus so then I was the last off the bus and had to wait for all the plebs to waddle up the stairs with their carry-ons. Really need to have a separate bus or stairs for the elite I guess.
