Stuck At The Airport（全球54大機場指南）

內容介紹

Amazon.com Your flight at Pittsburgh International Airport has been delayed for hours. You've been to the food court (twice) and you've just bought another magazine. Wouldn't it have been nice if you'd known that there was an in-airport health club with aerobics machines and a sauna? Well， if you had a copy of the aptly named Stuck at the Airport， Harriet Baskas's compilation of unexpected attractions and services at 54 airports around the world， you would. Arranged alphabetically， each entry lists dining， shopping， and sightseeing options as well as the best spots to nap， freshen up， and plug in your laptop. While some of the information is basic， most of it is surprisingly informative. San Jose Airport has an InMovie kiosk that rents films， Washington's Sea-Tac boasts artwork from Frank Stella and Robert Rauschenberg， and Heathrow has a golf studio offering lessons from pros. Need to keep the kiddies out of your hair? Check out the Children's Museum at O'Hare or the play area at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport with free Nintendo games. While it's true these discoveries won't get you to your destination any faster， they will make those dreaded delays a lot more bearable. --Jill Fergus From Library Journal Baskas， an award-winning radio producer and writer for National Public Radio and a columnist for Expedia.com ("Stuck at the Airport" is a regular feature on the Expedia.com web site)， has often experienced the frustration of whiling away the hours when stuck at an airport. Where can you buy a newspaper， have a shower， or store your luggage? Which food concessions offer the healthiest (or most sinful) foods? In this practical guide， Baskas highlights the special features of some 46 major national and eight international airports including Los Angeles， Albany， JFK， Toronto， and Heathrow that every annoyed traveler should know so that he or she can best manage the unwanted delays. Arranging the airports alphabetically by city， Baskas recommends what to do with kids; how to handle business emergencies; where to eat， get a massage， or shop; and， most importantly， how to get to the nearest major city. She does not， however， include airport floor plans， nor does she provide the reader with a list of the airports' web sites， which usually include such plans.
