Maybe it’s the franco-connection but it reminded me of a serious blog/rant I posted here years ago about the most don’t give a fuck government owned airline, Winair.

My Dad was the calmest, in-control person I have ever met and I saw that airline drive him to tones we have not heard since.I still call it The Jake.

Airport rant cont.: I see people, entire families, kids, babies... Laying, sitting, eating on the floor in airports. WTF, a skid row gutter might be a cleaner place. Am I the only one who thinks this?

We just got our first VIP Lounge experience on our way back from MX. Pretty nice experience. Will do again.

Which airline?
What we have here is an intelligence failure. You may be familiar with staring directly at that when shaving. .

I'm currently sitting in LaGuardia. Totally remodeled. Still manages to completely suck.

The craziest airport I've ever experienced was SSG in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The baggage scanners were broken so they inspected the suitcases by opening them up in front of you and visually search. The lounge was a sinister feel from the 50's. As I exited the gate, got another complete shakedown in the jetway before I could board the LH jet to FRA with a stop in Lagos.

Bucharest Henri Coandā was interesting. It's an eclectic mix of old and new. The scenery along the taxiway did not disappoint. The rusting com-bloc hardware is a don't miss. The Lufthansa crews didn't seem especially happy to be flying the route. There was a definite sense of hurry up and get back to Frankfurt. The bathrooms weren't any nicer than FRA. The people were nicer. They did have an amused air of we're glad to have you but why on earth would you visit Romania?

Not gonna complain about the interior of any of these terminals. My complaint is about NYC airports. There is no easy way to reach any of them. Not a single train goes to LGA. There is no direct connection to JFK from Manhattan. And EWR can only be accessed by getting on a regional commuter train and then transferring to that stupid air train that you still have to pay extra for. It’s really just an absolute lack of planning and political willpower to provide easy access to these places.

America is a car culture so instead of being at the end of an LRT or even a really great bus system, you drive to the airport and park in a huge P-lot where you take a bus to the terminal

I always like going through Schipol when possible, and find it to be a pretty solid layout. I think most of the hate comes from first-timers, because once you’ve done it once it becomes pretty easy to navigate.
The in-airport train to Amsterdam is also a boon, and when I lived there it made getting in and out of town so damn easy.

Bring your vax card, required to get in lots of places. We had a great time, non-stop tourism (though I grew up there; it was all for my kiddo). Totally. The fact that everyone just accepts that you take a cab to/from LGA is ludicrous.
I don't think Newark is bad, though. That train is pretty convenient, and the solution -- create a spur line to the airport -- seems reasonable. Would be nice if it was free, but to me that's a small complaint, because overall the trip is not expensive."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

The one time I flew out of JFK instead of the many times flying through it, the solution was commuter train to Grand Central, "Airporter" bus to JFK. That was fine. Trying to do it in reverse was fucking painful in every possible way.

do the stop signs say stop or arret in Quebec ?
I have driven everywhere in Vangroovy which is my home town, it used to be a shitty cab ride into town,
last time back flew in and got the 10$ all day transit pass, took LRT & buses which was a much nicer/ cheaper/ faster/ low stress experience than driving around my hometownLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Sure but Vancouver and Toronto (the 3rd biggest city in US/Canada) only got trains to their airports in the last decade - hard to point fingers at US being the only one that is car centric.

Amsterdam in the 1970s
car centric is a choice
