I know whow it feels… but nothing beats Chicago’s airport… (read about it here: http://www.yourcanvasonline.com/issue6/HTML/moan.htm) – but the worst was one coming back from Budapest in WizzAir (NEVER using them again) – who cancelled our flight back with no warning and then decided to fly us 5 hours later into Birmingham! Only to then catch a bus at 3am to London’s Luton…

All these cheapo airlines are absolutely shameless. And the worst thing? We cannot do anything about it except stop using them.

In any case, I share your shock and frustration…

I think in general flying in Europe and the US is roughly the same. Customs is a lot simpler in Europe.

European airports tend to announce the boarding gate right before the flight, so you can’t chill out by your plane. The US gets some points there.

Also, even though this flight sucked, how does air travel in europe generally compare to in the US? Ya know, without the FAA/TSA nightmare.

Somehow I ended up on the Terrorist No-Fly list for about six months last year. It was news to me, although it was less funny when security escorted me from the ticket counter to some special high-tech scanning room.
