$83 Billion Wasted: Showing Up At The Airport 3 Hours Before Your Flight Is A System Failure No One’s Trying To Fix - View from the Wing

Maybe the biggest failure in air travel is something we don’t talk about at all. How is it possible that people are being told to show up at the airport 2.5 to 3 hours before their flight, and that isn’t considered a failure of massive proportions?

    Fun fact, Portland International Airport mandates street pricing, meaning items should cost the same as they would outside the airport.

      Sounds nice in theory, but the Hudson shops still charge a small fortune for a bottle of water and a bag of trail mix. I will say, however, that the restaurant pricing is good. I had a burger and a beer at the spot over the arrivals exit in the main terminal and didn’t get ripped off.
