Rant

Things the Madrid airport made me appreciate:

• Free airport wifi that works for more than 15 min
• Screens that show departure information for the next few hours, not just one hour
• Especially when some gates take 30 minutes and a train to get to
• Restaurant staff in the international terminal who speak English
• Or restaurant staff who don’t speak English but try to be helpful
• A limit to the number of people who stick perfume testers under my nose
• A terminal walkway that does not smell like a hundred different perfumes
• And last but not least, not having to get to the gate 1.5 hours early because of not one but two separate security checks for a connecting flight
