Stranger Things At The Airport

Random fact, if you stand in front of an airport gate for 45 minutes, your flight will board and leave faster. --- Weird airport theory that apparently everybody (except airline employees) know.

A few quotes

The airport is a lawless place. 7am buy a beer. Tired, go to sleep on the floor. Need a phone charger, earbuds, an iPad- there's a vending machine. A breakfast sandwich costs $9 and a cup of coffee $3.65 - it's the wild wild west out there! --- Anonymous airport traveler

"NO! We don't have a spare airplane!"
--- Gate Agent

"Pardon me, you're an AMT right? We're having trouble with one of the lavs, if you wouldn't mind would you take a look at it?" ----- FA (2 hours into an LAX/JFK flight)
RESPONSE
"Sure I'll look at it. Do you have any tools?" ---- Non-revving AMT who only 2 hours earlier was thinking how lucky they were to not only make the flight but to get F.

"I'm sitting at the gate and all of a sudden there's this bird, if that bird makes the flight and I don't, [I'm going to be very, very, very upset]" Bold print is not a direct quote --- Unidentified non-rev who had spent the night sleeping in a chair with their legs propped up on two boxes.

And for Donna, just because she loves this one :cool:

"PEOPLE...form a line, this isn't Black Friday at Target." --- Gate Agent, Thanksgiving morning first flight of the day.
