keep pushing my buttons
The incessant blare of CNN followed by the endless blasting of "special security announcements" which ceased to be special the day after they started is a hazard. Screaming kids? Eh, that's what they do. You can bitch about it, I guess, but kids don't have a volume control unlike the CNN monitors and the garbly PA systems.
Look, most airports suck. DTW is pretty nice if you're on a Skyteam flight (and God help you if you're not). EWR ain't bad, unless you have to connect between terminals. AMS is a nice place to idle while waiting the inevitable five hours between arrival from the US and the onward KLM connection. AMS is also pretty damned quiet compared to US airports.
But that's about it. Oh and free advice: never, ever take a connection at LHR that involves changing terminals, unless you have at least three hours between flights. What a disaster.
