I take the new post of Paris vs New York blog (which I love) to talk a bit about airports. With all the traveling I have had to do these past 2 years, I have developed a very relationship with these places. In some sense, it's a bit of routine by now; they are all too familiar. At the same time, I learned to appreciate little details here and there, like when they give you free WiFi. I love JFK's JetBlue terminal, and I don't really like Delta's. I don't really know Paris's airport that well, but CDG, that bus system that you have for going from terminal to terminal is hideous!
Traveling so much has also made me try to minimize my stay at the airports as much as possible. That implies arriving so tight w.r.t to my departure time, that I have risked to miss some flights more than once. Then I get scared of myself and try to arrive earlier... only to find that I forgot something - like when I forgot to bring my ID - and there is no time to go back home to get it.... It's all back and forth between my risk attitudes, and what I can do to kill time at the gates. How do you feel about airports?
