I like to get on the people mover and pretend that I'm in that old school Jamiroquai video.

I like it!

Reading the Economist will only get you into first class if it has your name as the subscriber on the cover.

I've flown in and out of DTW numerous times. Where's the train? Oh, I did see Tiny Tim there once.

Wow, you hit the nail on the head with this one. (...

Wow, you hit the nail on the head with this one. (I, too, HATE people on People Movers who don't actually understand its purpose.) Thanks so much for following my blog! Looking forward to keeping up with yours.

This = hilarious! I am usually an expert flyer until the last time we flew and I left a water bottle in my bag. They had to stop the xray machine & dig out my bottle and then hold it up for the entire airport to see how stupid I am. The most embarrassing part is that I forgot about the water bottle since it was from our first flight 7 days before that one. I tried to sneak 7 day old water through security..idiot.

I have been wanting to comment on this post, and then keep getting distracted. But anyway, I lived in Detroit for nine years, A's paternal grandparents live in A2, so we visit a few times a year. The absolute best part of Detroit's airport is this hallway between terminals that also leads to the baggage claim. It has the moving sidewalks, but it also has this kickass lighting along the walls with ocean-like lights and soft, eerie music playing. It is truly surreal and feels like you're coming home at the end of a cheeseball movie or entering into a sci-fi flick.

Did I mention that Dulles (my airport) recently got trains like all the super cool airports, and I'm no longer shamed by our outdated people movers?

It's far less exciting to others than it is to me.

Super hilarious. Winning at security is awesome. Losing, and having to surrender your shampoo bottle, not so awesome.

There's a SkyMall? I did not know that. I want to go on a plane now.

I gave you an award on my blog! Come and get it please :)

2010-07-11T18:31:51.967-07:00

People always act like the DMV is hell on earth... well, I think it's airports. I get a sick feeling in my stomach when I even have to go pick someone up curbside, let alone go inside for traveling purposes.

I do have to admit though that I LOVE the people mover, guilt-free gossip magazine reading, and... that's about it! :)

People watching in the airport is my favorite thing about air travel, but I have to admit that the trains and people movers are pretty cool!

2010-07-11T17:58:12.542-07:00

Delta is like a sunny little island of free snacks and free TV... in a sea of crap. I will gladly pay $75 to check my luggage to avoid sitting on an obese man's lap on USAir.

2010-07-11T15:41:58.819-07:00

The solution is simple. Buy the Economist but use it as a book cover for US Weekly. No one will know the difference. They'll just think you are incredibly intellectual with an Economist double issue. I particularly like Surfing World magazine. You should see the looks I get. They look at the mag...look at me...back at the mag...long lingering look back at my fat ass. There is no better time to eff with someone than in, on, or around an airport.

I always moowalk on the people mover.

Okay, I meant to type "moonwalk" but I simply couldn't delete moowalk. If you would like to figure out what that could possibly mean, be my guest.

Airports with trains are, like, the Russian dolls of the travel industry. Because transportation *inside* transportation? Awesome.

I hate going through security. They once took my lotion from Bath and Body Works! The bastards.

2010-07-08T14:07:46.181-07:00

Clearly, there's a whole bunch of amazing airport stuff that I'm missing, simply by not being in America. That's right. The only thing about airports that folk look forward to here, is being able to drink alcohol at 7am.

2010-07-08T09:44:29.443-07:00

hey don't forget about ATL having trains! Well they are more like subways I suppose. I do travel for work and spend lots of time in the airport. even with my frequent security checks I'm pretty much always subjected to the body search... I'm thinking its the beard... that and anyone with a gov id is easy prey for offsetting the allegations for racial profiling!

2010-07-08T08:13:32.805-07:00

I, also, am a master traveler. I grew up as the daughter of an airline employee and then went on myself to work for an airline for awhile...I can get through security in the blink of an eye (and usually bring something mind-numbing like one of the Twilight books along to read - but I always make sure to take the dust cover off so that it's just some important-looking black book and not so obviously some romantic teenaged dribble). The first time I flew with my husband, I was appalled that he didn't know to take his hoodie off before being instructed to do so by the TSA. I've had to train him before flights how to do it better to keep myself from the horrible, horrible, I'm-flying-with-a-dumbass shame.

2010-07-08T07:53:36.332-07:00

I love this list - most of all because I always buy The Economist when I fly. For two reasons really. 1)I have to be forced into a non-internet available situation before I'm gonna read something other than Cracked, and 2)I really do want other people on the airplane to think I'm smart, especially as I'm likely to fall on at least one of them during the duration of the flight.

Oh, it's classy.
