so airports, you guys!
I'm travelling all around the US over the next couple weeks and I'm currently waiting for a flight to New Orleans from San Francisco
the guy in front of me in the security line said to me 'this used to be fun' while carrying a small white dog that then went back into his carry case
but I think it still can be!
So what do you guys do in airports? have any good stories? where should I get some breakfast?
alternatively, Airplane! quote thread

...I don't think it really works that way any more.
wait so would it be the more smileys the better you liked them or did they actually have a smiley face, frowney face etc
Our plane out of cincinatti was delayed 6 hours
The options were
fantastic
In Kyrgyzstan I walked straight through the security checkpoint still carrying my pistol. Turns out the "metal detector" was just a wooden frame for people to walk through. I bought two bottles of vodka for two dollars each. One of them got me sicker than I've ever been in my life.
as the plane touched down it swerved and listed and a tiny part of me died
Read most of it on the plane.
It was good.
I flew to Paris once.
We landed in a weird airport in Canada as a fueling point it was oddly empty.
It was devoid of all planes and people save our flight
Fog was everywhere and we were surrounded by trees. It was unsettling.
I fell asleep while there and woke up on the plane. My mother continually denies we ever stopped at such a place and that we stayed on the plane when it stopped.
Haha. I made it through a 3G landing. Felt like my back had broken when we touched down.
Had a landing where we had to evacuate on touchdown because of a suspected APU Fire.
Had to fly a structurally damaged aircraft at 10000 feet, unpressurized through Iraq and turkey to get to Spain.
Had a landing gear fail on takeoff and had to land with fire trucks and emergency crews on standby.
anyway I had to get off the plane and at the very last second they go 'hey would you take a direct flight to san francisco?' and i was like YEP because my girlfriend whom i was visiting had already gone back to her house which was an hour and a half away. So, I had 0 time to tell my ride that I was actually going to be in san francisco and not sacramento since my laptop was off and my cell phone didn't get service in canada.
I mean, the flight back was nice. Every seat had a TV and I didn't get charged anything extra for being put onto a direct flight instead of a 3 flight set. So I landed in SF and went to the baggage claim and my bag wasn't there like they assured me it would be, so I had to wait a week for them to get it back from the 3 flights that took it to sacramento and then delivered to my house
It was definitely worth it though, it was probably the best month and a half that I ever had!

I thought it would be scarier since I am way afraid of heights but dealing with the pressure change was by far the most unpleasant aspect of those trips
I wish they could have been during the day so I could have enjoyed the scenery more
are... are you a spy?
one time I asked for a another bag of peanuts but they didn't give me any
also I took dramamine and went to sleep and when I woke up I was still drowsy
Fun airplane story: When I was deployed to Iraq in '09, I was out there for a year so they gave me leave halfway through to go home for two weeks. So we get to the airport and board the plane after a long drive, then sit down and get excited. Then we wait....and wait....and wait....and then the power goes out in the cabin for a minute and it gets hot as fuck because the AC shut off. Finally it comes back on and the pilot comes over the loudspeaker, tells us it will be a while because they need to bring a truck over to jump-start the airplane.
I was a C-5 loadmaster in the Air Force.
We try to keep the passengers blissfully unaware.
I only do it once or twice a year
But I still think it's awesome
Even with all the hassles
You're flying
How often do you get to do something so far from the natural limitations of humanity?

Flying is also a thing I don't like that much. Sure, it's faster and safer but I'm 6'4" and those seats are hell on my legs. At least in a car I can stop when I want and get out and stretch.
This is my favorite article title ever.
Every soul-sucking day for four long, grueling years.
which is like white castle, but not quite as good

I love flying
I'm excited to spend 13 hours on a plane and see Seoul international airport
I want to travel always for the rest of my life

Last month I had to travel on a discount airline. The first trip was uncomfortable, but the return flight had me recovering from food sickness and I had to sit next to a guy that smelled like tacos.
Last year was nice though. I flew Alaskan Airlines, which gives free beer. And then after I ran across LAX with a 70 pound pack I found out I got a first class seat. That was nice.
I like flying and airports, usually don't bother me too much. Unless I don't get an exit row.
Who the fuck closes vending machines?
Also, Alaska Air is pretty damn nice the few times I needed to fly to Vancouver. Comfortable seats and the amenities were great.
