I love airports because funny things always happen at them. They're giant complexes full of urgency, seriousness, and confusion. Where am I supposed to be? Which way do I go? And that's just the staff.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The problem with airports is that we go there when we need to catch a plane - and because it's so difficult to find the way to the gate, we tend not to look around at our surroundings.
Airports in major cities, like LAX, are trippy environments. It is at once a national and international gathering of those in transition: The euphoric, emerging from planes, their journey at an end, and the determined, about to depart.
I just can't stand being in airports anymore. I just can't stand it.
Never try to be witty with U.S. airport officials. It's always lost on them and you'll find yourself being put back on the plane.
I think airports are places of huge human drama. The more I see of it, the more I am convinced that Heathrow is a secret city, with its own history, folklore and mythology. But what has surprised me is the love the people who work there feel for the place. Everyone seems to think they are plugged into something majestic.
I hate everything about airports from getting there to taking off.
There's something really easy and just somehow un-crowded about the Portland airport. Every time I go there I'm like, 'Why is this so easy and sweet?'
If I never saw another airport again, I'd be happy!
I am starting to hate airports and the whole business of getting onto the plane. It all takes so long I want to scream.
Bureaucratic nonsense at airports drives me crazy.
