Eddys Airport Review #2 - JFK

Why leave the airport when you can let the sights come to you? It has bagels, it has hot dogs it has a cardboard cut out of the statue of liberty.

Walking from gate to gate may feel like you're walking the length of Manhattan, but the scale gives you a new found appreciation for the invention of the escalator.

No need to pass through security if you're transmitting. What do they care? You're leaving aren't you?

Eddy's Airport Review #4 - Gatwick

If Gatwick had a name it would be Gary. Gary is friendly and helpful, he'll tell you where the loos are, or give you the time, but Gary's probably still lives with his parents, not very impressive. Just like Gatwick. Convenient and small, everything's in one place, overpriced water, overpriced food, over priced WiFi. So send your messages, drink your water and eat your food before you come, because at least the toilets are free. Security ⭐⭐⭐ Food ⭐⭐⭐ Cleanliness ⭐⭐⭐

Eddy's Airport Review #6 - Nairobi International

While Nairobi slept I arrived at 2am To reassure any security fears, the staff dress up in berets and army fatigues to look more official and then pass you through predator style thermal imaging cameras to see if you are warm-blooded or carrying an infant xenomorph sent to review their airport. A 5-hour layover and zero hours sleep meant Nairobi went from being the jewel of Africa to the bed of Africa. A waiting room of people Laying on anything flat like lions sunning on a rock. Why book a hotel when a set of plastic metal chairs support your weight just as well. Several stages of security brings its own challenges, for example, when you "randomly check" everyone's bags at the gate, it's no longer random, but don't complain about, it will make it take twice as long.

Eddy's Airport Review #5 - Entebbe International

Arriving at Entebbe airport as early as a crack team of IDF special forces trying to get the jump on their target may seem like a good idea, but it can start to feel a little like an action movie. Roadblock (check) men with AK-47s and cigarettes hanging out their mouths (check), airport lounge guarded by a large wooden statue of a gorilla. Wait. What? But with all that said, nothing remotely interesting happened. But perhaps that's the best possible outcome for an airport, no smiley, greasy bullshit, no hassle at security, being bored means things are going right. Security ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food ⭐⭐ Souvineer shops ⭐⭐⭐⭐
