Temporary luggage storage at O'Hare?
TOliver wrote:
Comfortable seats? I've been in enough European, Central and SAmerican airports to know that comfortable seats and airports do not go together. The cause? Very simple, for long ago folks in the travel business discovered that providing comfortable seats or even benches for horizontal a'couching encouraged all sorts of unwashed and ill-favored folks to move in and stay a while, overnight on many occasions. If the airport authorities or airlines wanted you to have a comfortable seat, they would have provided same. But they don't want you to clog up the place except when preparing to leave or while connecting (and even then not overnight). In the space of less than a decade, I noticed last summer, that Dubai (DXB) progressed from assigning a sturdily-built man to poke sleeping and non-upright passengers with a stick to providing full-length chaises longues for the overnighters.

"Lockers" used to be in many airports, but disappeared long before 9/11, a mutual problem of lack of profitability and folks putting stuff in an never returning to pick it up. And it's a pity. I wanted to leave some luggage at La Guardia the other day, as I was only going to be in New York for a stopover and was travelling with plenty of stuff coming from the UK and Washington DC. But no dice. TMO Take care Jon -- Jon Beasley-Murray Latin American Studies http://www.fhis.ubc.ca/index.php?id=2856 University of British Columbia |
