Fuck LaGuardia airport. Fuck it in the ass with a rusty coat hanger and no lube.
Sounds like you enjoyed your experience. Welcome back to NY.
What did they close the Au Bon Pain?
Fiorello sez, "No, fuck youse."

It sure does! What a beautiful airport and surrounding cities. Wouldn't it be nice to have your own property when visiting next time? PM me for details. You can't afford to not look into this opportunity.Quote:

Guy says "oh, you need to go to C39 and catch a bus to your D gates, this is a different terminal (note, my boarding pass doesn't even have a terminal on it). Luckily, I got here super early, but if I was cutting it close, I'd have been fucked. And I never found Au Bon Pain. ;)
Is it like that when flying to Alaska?

Anyone have a suggestion?
Walk around the airport for a while? A 3 hour layover after clearing customs isn't that much time, especially considering that most flights board 45 minutes early and you will probably need to go through security again after clearing customs.Quote:

Just left LAX...you should probably consume copious amounts of booze
Cubana torta makes it all better.
For anybody flying into Vancover who has a layover it s real easy to get a 10$ transit pass from convenience store on lower level and ride the sky train into vangroovy to shop/check/ out the city
OR hit MEC or the Intuition factory outlet where one can get any of the liners or a punch or rebake
Bob Hope used to have complimentary valet parking, which was great. Of the larger airports I have been subjected to regularly, Philly is the worst, with absolutely the most obnoxious and least helpful employees, and Phoenix-Sky Harbor is the best. Having lived entirely in older cities, Phoenix's public infrastructure is a thing of beauty to me.
Philly, though... it got to the point where I didn't even bother to wait for checked bags, far less frustrating and time-consuming tot take SEPTA home and then drive my car back the next day to grab them than it was to sit at the baggage claim for two hours.
Headed to Philly in a few months, can't wait.
Yea I guess I will try to get the best of both worlds and do push-ups on the floor of the bar.
Why is it close to impossible for people to move with a purpose in an airport?
lol
Heading to LaGuardia in a few days, such a joy.
O’Hare is hands down the worst airport I’ve ever been to

Yeah but Frontera. I hate Ohare but dont mind it because I get some decent grub when there. And if I am looking for reasons to be generous, I've found that Ohare to seattle flight time is the perfect distance to really start tying one on. Anything further west and I dont have ample time to settle into a solid woodford blanket and anything more east and I risk an ill-timed nap.Quote:

Santa Barbara is nice but as are tons of small joints.
We have a thread for that:Quote:

If you can't get that happy distance dialed in, you gotta either hammer down and commit, or do the one and done, and that's no fun.
Best: Frankfurt, Munich, Nice
Worst: JFK, Charles DeGaulle, LAX
I'll be at LAX in two hours, ugh. Have to say, though, airport food options have gotten WAAAY better over the years.
I've got to say I don't think it's a bad airport at all. I've been through there many times and don't remember ever having long lines at security. Also I like the convenient Blue Line access to the city.Quote:

We calculated a nap somewhere over the Andreanof Islands that never happened which required full pedal down. Of course, we arrived in the evening so it was business time, which lasted another 12 hours. I'm not built for that anymore but he took an 8 mile run the next day like a mad man.Quote:

I have the opposite strategy. I drink enough that I'm up every couple of hours, helps prevent the DVT and helps my back.Quote:

I've certainly toned it down over the years, but consumption math includes seat placement and managing ABV. I find that if I'm not bothering other passengers, the frequency with which I need to get up actually coincides pretty nicely with when I would want to stretch my legs anyway.Quote:

I don't think there's been a day in my life when Boston Logan wasn't under construction.
TF Green Providence is kind of a model smaller airport, that place is still really good, it even has decent food.
The new Salt Lake airport is beautiful and it has by far the best Delta Crown Room in the country but logistically it SUCKS. I am hopeful that it gets a lot better when it gets done, from the B gates to the front curb is a solid 25 minutes of fast walking. Absolutely insane. The worst part is watching the elderly and handicapped painfully try to make the trek.
The worst part about Logan is the Exit. Every time I land at there, I have a tough time negotiating all those tunnels. OTOH, I do love the landing approach flying over the St. Charles.
I was moments away from posting the same thing but realized that I hadnt been in years and maybe just maybe things had changed. What a circuitous mess of fucked up bullshit.Quote:
