Christmas Rush and airports
Sitting here at the London airport and reflecting on how the world has evolved over the last couple of years. How Sweet isn't it to be able to just turn on your laptop and have the world at your fingertips thanks to wireless Internet. I am flying back from Dublin to Sweden to celebrate Christmas and I have about 3 or so hrs to kill before my connecting flight leaves, so what to do? WWW is what to do, write on your blog read and reply to some overdue email and just watch people from around the world come together at one place.For this entry I will share with you all some airport info, what there is to do at them and which ones to avoid if possible.
Stockholm -- Well it is not one of the bigger ones, it has what you need the regular duty/taxfree stores and because of its size it is pretty easy to get around. Have been fortunate enough to having all my flight from there being on time (knock on wood).
Copenhagen -- Feels really new and easy to navigate through, there are enough shops to get all the normal things that you want to get from the airport. The one thing that I do remember is all the smoke even though there is/were places where people could smoke it is/was really hard to find a place that did not smell like smoke.
SeaTac/Seattle Tacoma -- Pretty boring not a whole lot of shops for people to kill some time at and the ones they had were not at the gates I was fortunate to leave from. The defend the airport it is/was going through some major changes so hopefully it will have more things to do while waiting for your flight.
London Heathrow -- HUGE that is the first thing that came to mind but for being so big it sure is easy to get around the terminals and gates are easy to find because of the many bright colored signs. What else I thought was a big plus the free samples of alcohol yummy good way to keep the travelers happy. I had two different shots one consisted of some fancy vodka and cranberry juice, the other one had coffee liqueur, Bailey's and Absinth. The Absinth was of the weaker kind only 55% or so, while there are other ones that are closer to 70%.
