Get On, Clip In, Fall Off

Blimey! A pleasant airport!

Having managed to get to the airport ridiculously early and checked in 5 hours before departure (once they finally started letting people check in for the later flight - BA have two per day out of SFO) I've been looking around San Francisco airport's international terminal and - amazingly, remembering this is an airport we're talking about - it's really pretty nice. Getting to the airport via BART from the city is a breeze. The check-in area is spacious and airy with even a small aviation museum and various display areas containing interesting things from local museums. The line for security was long but moved quickly enough and once through the gate area's pretty nice too.

Best of all, the entire airport is covered by wi-fi. It's run by T-Mobile which means you have to pay for it, but it's definitely worth it. I can sit here noodling around on the Internet until either my flight leaves or my Powerbook runs out of juice, in which case I could probably sneakily plug into one of the power points around the place, but I don't want to stretch my luck.

And not to jinx things, but I believe my boarding pass has me in one of those seats with extra legroom.. we'll have to see about that, though.
