Brings back great memories...

Spending the night in Istanbul on the airport floor
Expensive and long trains between London airports
Multiple airports per city and being confused
Luggage exploded in Ciampino
Lost on the way to Rome from the airport--so far away
Learning to use the free buses in Basel to get to the airport...a city we only went to b/c it was a cheap way to get out of Istanbul
Arguing with RyanAir over carrying on luggage
Ridiculous oversized luggage rules for backpacks
Obnoxious flight attendant uniforms
Being euphorically happy at the free food on Olympic Air
Airlines with no electronic boarding passes
Airports where the check in counter is only open for a defined and stressful period of time
Numerous airport checkpoints and rented counter space

A ridiculous but beautifully cheap network of flights to random places....good times
