Compare that to my experience entering the Netherlands at Schipol where I walked around the baggage claim area trying to find customs, and come to find out that there are just two super-chill people who looked at my paper, stamped my passport, and just waved me through. I was concerned for the rest of the day that I had just illegally entered the Netherlands, and I had to keep looking at my passport to make sure that they had really authorized my entry.

Schipol is easy to fly into, but on the way out they consistently make me take out every single piece of gear, down to every individual loving wire, cable, adapter etc in my backpack and run them all separately through their xray Madrid does this too

Eikre posted:Houston international airport has this wierd, tiny subway linking up the baggage claim areas. Little automated four-person trams running next to center walkways in this soft, sound-dampened corridor under everything else, and it seems like nobody is ever down there. Absolutely surreal. Best option by far is to drink a bottle of DXM cough syrup before your flight to Texas and then go for a spin when you're teetering on the edge of a k-hole. Life changing. Here's a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2a9Yvo2Yyg&t=431s

We can use the electronic kiosk and go right through. Just did that in Gatwick last month. Also did the OP ever say why he was traveling with his cat? I’m genuinely curious.

I am almost always travelling on an artist visa (if you perform in the UK without one, even for free, even at a house show, they can deport you and ban you for years) which means I always have to talk to them and wait around while they go figure out what do do with it

Either way Id be mashing the red button Oh I definitely mashed the red button. Not sure what it did. I wasn't sure exactly what it was for either, other than "I am happy about thing" "I'm indifferent about thing" "I am not happy about thing" Do pres butan when trash full? Or contains unsavory items, like dead baby or large quantity of vomit? Or can you use it for non-trash related bathroom problems, like hand dryer broken? or shitter full? Poo on floor? Any of the above? All of the above?

DarkSoulsTantrum posted:Most American stalls have gaps in the doors and the walls start about 8 inches above the ground yeah i guess but i dont really see how that makes much of a practical differnece as far as privacy is concerned, ive lived in america most of my life and never had anyone looking under the stall doors or whatever, and while the british stalls go lower its still a pretty public place. people can defintely still hear and smell you making GBS threads if thats what you are worried about also, both countries have many public restrooms that are small rooms meant for one person at a time which is as private as you can get

airport bathrooms are almost as bad as the las vegas convention centers bathrooms the combination of travel, unhealthy food, caffiene, and related stress makes for a chaotic and disgusting bathroom experience a symphony of groans, farts, sharts, plops, and whooshes. truly a full sensory experience

Last time flying from NYC sober almost had a panic-seizure (my brain not work so good). The airport bar experience is amazing, everyone drinking vastly overpriced lovely drinks and either trying to avoid eye-contact or being overly friendly. I've sipped a lovely merlot with a 80s-style businessman, a middle-age mom, and wide-eyed 20-somethings. Airport bars are the best.
