A Quote by Douglas Coupland

I grew up in airports and on air bases. I know what flying and airports can be. And most airports make me feel like we're about three per cent better than ants. Especially U.S. airports. They're zoos. All civility is gone.

There are those airports which make you feel better, and there are those airports that, when you go there, your heart sinks: you can't wait to get out of there. They both function as airports, but it's the things that you can't measure that make them different.

Norman Foster

Refugees tend to avoid planes, airports and fake passports, even though flying may appear to be the most obvious way to flee. For one thing, security procedures at airports are far stricter than at land borders.

Peter Landesman

That is the trouble with flying: We always have to return to airports. Thank of how much fun flying would be if we didn't have to return to airports.

Henry Mintzberg

To tell you the truth, man, we spend most of the time travelling in hotels, in festivals, in concert halls, clubs, airports. The most unenjoyable part is all the security at airports.

Hugh Masekela

I love flying; I love aircraft, and you could say I've had a love affair with flight since I was a child. I travel a huge amount. I use airports, and as a pilot, I've flown in and out of airports thousands of times, so really, I have a fairly broad perspective.

Norman Foster

I always thought security was a joke at New York airports, and in U.S. airports to begin with. You can go through any European or Middle Eastern airport and things are a lot tougher.

Richard Drew

I don't like waiting in airports for my bags. Even worse, I don't like waiting in airports when my bags are lost.

Steve Waugh

When we have $20 trillion in debt, and our country's a mess, you know, it's one thing to have $20 trillion in debt and our roads are good and our bridges are good and everything's in great shape, our airports. Our airports are like from a third world country.

Donald Trump

I hate flying, airports and the whole rigmarole - queuing up, security and lost luggage.

Johnny Vegas

Because I live in London I'm always at busy places like airports and gigs. When you're up in the mountains the air's so clean and there's nature and the awesomeness of the slopes. It makes me reflective and think about the bigger picture.

Limahl

For families flying out of the U.K. for a winter getaway, airports should be the ideal place to pick up a bargain.

George Osborne

A shortage of airports runways and gates along outmoded air traffic control systems have made U.S. air travel the most congested in the world.

Ray LaHood

I joke that I was basically born and raised in airports. I feel most at home at JFK.

Suleika Jaouad

Seems like half my anxiety dreams are about airports.

Lois McMaster Bujold

It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression "As pretty as an airport." Airports are ugly. Some are very ugly. Some attain a degree of ugliness that can only be the result of a special effort. This ugliness arises because airports are full of people who are tired, cross, and have just discovered that their luggage has landed in Murmansk (Murmansk airport is the only exception of this otherwise infallible rule), and architects have on the whole tried to reflect this in their designs.

Douglas Adams

The key points in my life as a kid were so scattered that I was most comfortable in, like, airports.
