August 13th, 2009

I love hotels. fjallraven kanken classic backpack putty I may be one of the few people that says that. coque iphone Custodia Cover iphone 11 pro max Triumph Wallpapers X00238 Case I also love airports as long as I don’t have a twelve hour layover or am sleeping on the floor because I’ve missed my connection. fjallraven kanken classic backpack birch green custodia cover iphone 11 12 mini pro max elephant aztec pattern comforters q0308 Being in the travel industry, I’m constantly taking in what my hotels and airports have to offer, noting unique features and details to share with my readers. coque iphone 12 pro max cover custodia case iphone 11 Q0192 dark vador wallpaper 14kZ7 Here’s another (not so) secret about me – I am easily amused by seemingly unimportant things and love novelties or items that make me feel special.

Airport: Free wifi – I can’t say this enough. cover custodia case iphone 11 A8804 dark wallpaper 15hO7 Whether I want to check my facebook account, investigate some final tidbits about the destination I’m headed to, catch up on my news or check my email I love the ability to pass the time in the airport on my computer, especially when it’s free!

A real bookstore: This means not the multipurpose store that has the ten latest trashy romance novels (sorry to fans of that genre). Once again I use Seatac as an example – it has a Borders the size of the one in my local mall. I got great reading material for the plane! Good Signage: Tokyo’s Narita might be the king of this. coque huawei air max 95 donna coque iphone xs max When I deplaned for my transfer to my flight to Seoul, there were signs with instructions for each individual connection, where to go and people to help make the passport check and transfer process easier. coque iphone fjallraven kanken classic backpack estate blue Restaurants and shops on both sides of security – It’s great for those waiting to pick up loved ones if there are places to shop and eat outside of security. coque iphone 6 6s plus On the flip side, ever get through security (to make sure you have plenty of time) only to realize that there is just a pretzel stand or coffee shop and you have a 6 hour flight ahead of you that charges $7 for a snack box?

  1. Naturally, I am always interested in what airports how airports provide for people with disabilities. My favorite was the Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe where a woman was wheeled out to the plane and the crew literally came out and carried her up the stairs into the plane.

      This is a bit of an issue and definitely difficult in countries that do not have the same standards of accommodation for people with disabilities. Lifting a woman onto the plane is pretty remarkable, and I think it would take the friendliness and work ethic of a country like Zimbabwe (and yes, for those who haven’t been the Zimbabwe people are very friendly to visitors) to do something like this. On the flip side, I have watched security agents make a poor woman in a wheelchair get up (they had people lift her) so that they could check under her seat for anything “suspicious”. I understand the safety concern, but I felt bad. It amazes me that they now have a full service airline exclusively for pets and cannot have flights that are geared towards people with disabilities. I am investigating into which airports around the world are best suited for people with disabilities.
