- United Airlines checks passengers with firearms through the 'oversized' baggage line. … I swear this saved me at least an hour on my check-in time.
- Smoking lounge! They have a freaking smoking lounge! Even when I quit again, I'll appreciate this in principle.
- Free Wi-Fi! (Hello SeaTac, are you listening?! You get sponsors to pay for ads, require Wi-Fi users to watch a 30 second ad before they can connect to the internet … we get free internet, you get money. You can even put a banner ad frame above the web pages loaded through your network. We won't mind!)
3 Reasons NOT to Love Denver Airport
- Where is the freaking air-conditioning?!
- You have to take a damn train to ALL the concourses.
- I'm fairly certain the airlines, airport and vendors therein could find some black people who are qualified to be employed as something besides janitors, baggage handlers, and (no shit) shoe shine boys.
Smoking lounge! and Where is the freaking air-conditioning?!
That settles if I'm ever going there.

The smoking lounge is a fully enclosed bar area … so non-smokers are completely un-bothered. ;-)

21st May 2008 at 11:07 am | permalink |One of the few I haven't been too. Any airport that has free wifi is okay by me :D
…they still let guns on planes?
When did this happen?
21st May 2008 at 5:22 pm | permalink |@Jen: They don't let passengers bring guns in the cabin. It has to be unloaded and in a locked case, in the checked baggage. :-)
21st May 2008 at 5:59 pm | permalink |gotcha :) I thought that was the policy, it's been a while since anyone I know has traveled with a firearm, we usually end up driving to our events with campers in tow, it's just easier.
22nd May 2008 at 5:33 pm | permalink |Kind of along those same lines:
Why is half my flight time taken up watching commercials? I just had a 4 hour flight last week and 2 of those hours had commercials.
Much like Wi-Fi, I don't mind commercials, but if I have to pay full price for a ticket AND watch commercials?! What happened here?
22nd May 2008 at 6:29 pm | permalink |@Jen: I prefer driving myself … but I wasn't going to drive from Alaska to Denver. ;-)
@Elie: No shit. And no more free food unless you're on an international flight … bastards.
22nd May 2008 at 6:35 pm | permalink |Last I knew the Georgia airport still had a smoking area but it was quite ridiculous. It's a fully enclosed room with virtually no ventilation and the front of the room (facing the walkway)is see through Plexiglas. From the outside you can barely see images moving around through the smoke! I suppose it's some kind of humiliation technique to persuade smokers to quit. Unfortunately it didn't work for me.
23rd May 2008 at 7:04 pm | permalink |@Rick: Ahh! I was going to use Atlanta as an example of how NOT to do a smoking lounge, but I couldn't remember where I saw that gawdawful monstrosity of a smoking room.
I think that is an airport I would opt NOT to smoke in. Perhaps it's silly of me, but I really don't like walking around smelling like a *total* ashtray. hehe
