Title: Stuck at the airport
Post by: Hansmeister on March 04, 2010, 11:09:09 AM
I'm on my way to Nashville and there is a poweroutage at the airport. Now I will probably miss my connecting flight. Feel like I'm in a third world country.

Isn't Tennessee a third-world country in itself, anyway?  :P

My ride home from Saint Lucia was a nightmare. Took an entire extra day to get home. I feel your pain.

Time to add Nashville to my list of airports I will never transit through. That list also includes Chicago, LA, and any New York airport if the transfer time window is small.

I'm going to be going through Chicago tomorrow.  What's so bad about Chicago?

It's notorious for delayed and canceled flights, especially in the winter. Since it's one of the busiest airports in the US, delays for one flight can snowball, causing delays for others.

If you've never been to O'Hare before, prepare yourself for a real boertrek to your connecting flight.

When I had to take one from Madrid to Berlin, I wanted to vomit.

Hartsfield is even worse in my experience.  Plus, they got rid of the Flight of the Navigator robot voice for the subway trams, which I found HIGHLY AMUSING.  :mad:

Dayton's Airport is like being stuck in a mall with no stores. And the other one (for the cessna's and shit) has furniture from the 70's in it. That one is cool.

I like CVG.  It is: never crowded.  I think they fucked up and made it much too large. :blush:
