rumpus Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Have you seen those ridiculous adverts / signs ? Aberdeen: Home of the Self-sealing envelope Home of Spike the talking Cactus Home of the Green Lady ghost at Crathes castle etc, etc...... It's not much wonder people see us as parochial inbred sheep shaggers. Bloody embarrassing. Link to comment

E-P-K Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 im there just now. The usual shambles off folk Qing to board inbetween where people are sitting having breakfast / drinks. This is Aberdeen, home of the art deco beach ballroom. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Folk that queue to get on planes as soon as it's called to board are daft. It's not going to leave without you and you already have an allocated seat. 2 Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Dynamo. my fukkin pet hate, especially family holidays, the mrs getting all excited 2 hrs before the fukkin plane is going to board....when i travel on my tod, im in the boozer until the last possible minute, never missed a flight in my life Link to comment

It's not going to leave without you and you already have an allocated seat. I mind a few years ago when I was on a lads holiday, early morning flight so grabbing a sausage bap before I flew. Mate orders scrambled eggs. Must have queued for about half an hour for the food. As soon as we get it our flight is called. My mate just ditches his food and goes straight to the queue. He must have been one of the first there. Idiot. Rest of us just hung back and finished whatever we had. 1 Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Airports and airplanes make people act like morons. - Utter confusion at why you've set the security gate off when you left coins in your pocket, your watch on and so on. Have to get patted down slowing down everything.- Queuing at boarding gates before they are even called when you have allocated seats. - Taking forever and a day to put anything in the overhead luggage.- Standing up as soon as a seat belt signs go off even though the doors aren't open and everyone will get off in an orderly fashion. So many things which people seem to be in a hurry about which slows down everything. Link to comment

I've searched for years and I've not found an airport less welcoming, less helpful, less friendly, with shiter food (and I've eaten at Warri airport!) and they have the most intrusive customs cunts with the daftest questions I've ever had the misfortune to answer with the cheek and disdain they deserve. Please tell me where this utter shitehole of an airport you have been to is, I'd love to be able to say Aberdeen almostinnational airport is no longer the worst airport I've even had the misfortune of arriving in/departing from. I used to use the Amsterdam - Aberdeen flight like a bus, back and forth most weekends. Even after explaining to the inbred neep faced customs cunt fae just ootside Inverurie several times that I in fact had two places I lived and with that didnt need clothes to travel he still couldnt quite grasp the concept of it all and continued to ask when my bags were and how I managed to travel without clothes. Thick, small minded, inbreds, its like arriving at Ibrox, just slightly less welcoming. saying that I always seem to find the arsehole customs cunt no matter which airport I'm in. Maybe its me I think I've just had a revelation. I need to go ponder my existence. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Ciampino in Rome is the worst airport ever. No bar, and it's basically just cattle pens that everyone goes into and waits to board the plane. Such a ridiculous airport and if you've been, you'll know it's the worst. Is that the one Easyjet and Ryanair use? It's terrible. The other one on the other hand is tremendous. Link to comment

Maybe its me I think I've just had a revelation. I need to go ponder my existence. Thought Dublin airport was by far the worst. Also didnt think much of CDG paris (actually preferred Bouvais even with its simplicity) Also remember being bored out of my tits in Athens, Cant say i thought much of Edinburgh either but wouldnt say it was awful.

Foster14 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I was going via Belfast to Portugal last year (no direct flights from a Scotland on a Monday at the time) and it didn't have a bar open till midday. That was pretty poor. Can't really think of any bad airport experiences other than being hungover to buggery on various trips. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Aberdeen airport is ludicrously outdated and far too small for what it's supposed to do.That and the staff are rude, obnoxious scum. 1 Link to comment

Such a ridiculous airport and if you've been, you'll know it's the worst. The problem with flying to the UK from almost any airport is that as we're not Schengen we get bumped into an isolated little corner out of the way along with flights to Romania & other backwaters. As an aside, Ciampino is being forced to close with all flights moving to Fumicino. As a further aside, despite being Rome's second Airport, Ciampino is actually closer to central Rome than Fumicino. There's no need to thank me for all this information. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks Dave min. There was an article on the P&J last week showing that flights from the UK pay £92 tax on long haul flights, compared to £2.44 from Ireland and the EU average being £28.37.Shocking really, we're being fleeced! Link to comment
The Hulk Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 CDG, Paris is a fukkin horrible place.I've only been once, 12 years ago and on a one-way ticket, but I loved the place, and especially terminal 1. But then it was built at a time when the French were going pretty gung-ho with modernism. Bags of character unlike the soulless BAA airports in this country - the tunnels you go through that are like concrete caves are fantastic. Koh Samui, now that's a cracking airport. Link to comment

BrianFaePerth Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Harcus, please let us know if the fine people of Orkney have similiar problems when flying Kirkwall to Papa Westry...... The biggest concern there are the sheep just sitting wherever they want on the plane. Bastards have no respect for reserved seating. Link to comment
gla5gowdon Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Can't say I've ever used Aberdeen airport. Agree re. Ciampino. I hate Frankfurt airport. Whole place just feels filthy. CDG also a shambles. Prestwick is really grim. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I hate Frankfurt airport. Whole place just feels filthy. CDG also a shambles. I didn't enjoy Frankfurt when I was rushed for a connecting flight and hit a massive security line, but found it nice enough on the not so rushed return. Link to comment

Can only guess it was T2? T2 is a nit nicer but overall the whole place is a pretty awful experience. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Everything about Frankfurt airport is wrong and backward. it does have a filthy feel, but then so does the whole of Frankfurt. 2 Link to comment
