My Airport Passage
Jet-black taxis and the shimmering lights of urgent security vehicles whizzed passed me as I patiently waited for a cease in the increasingly heavy airport traffic.
As I stepped inside the newly-built extremely, modern airport, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the kaleidoscope of bustling swarms of humanity; it was like a mixed rainbow of human skin – all different cultural backgrounds and colours rapidly moving around in a confused and disordered manner. I could, above all the chaotic buzz of civilization, hear loud thundering announcements and warnings crackling over the loudspeakers as I gripped tightly to the cold metal bars of my suitcase carrier. As I stepped in line to check in my bags, I was halted by the nauseating sweaty body-odour of a Spanish rugby team; I was then enlightened to the enthralling odorous fragrance of a well-kept, posh French woman swiftly passing by.
I successfully checked my bags in and moved ahead to the security area; tens of colourful patterned suitcases and bags were rolling smoothly rolling through the industrial scanners and x-rays. People of all ages stood there in the spinning scanners looking like they were about to complete a physical jumping jack. I could also hear loud beeps of finished scans and x-rays; it was an enormous operation of disarrayed flurry as every single person hurriedly hurled their belts and coins into the security bins. There was a pulsating vibe shared by everybody of beginning a voyage of adventure.
I finally got through to the airplane gate corridor; extraordinary delectable aromas of world-class cuisines swam freely around, suffusing my nose, watering my mouth for one of the luscious and picturesque, first-rate meals. I could see hundreds of eager, but ravenous travelers dining in different cultural food restaurants while other trekkers were dashing like Olympic sprinters to reach their gate in sufficient time to catch their

    Since airplanes became the weapon of choice for the terrorists, there is now more airport security. Responsibility for airport security screening after 9/11 was handed over to the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Passengers since then have been subjected to much more vigorous screening procedures. “Some security measures require passengers to remove their shoes and jackets before walking through x-ray machines” (Delgadillo). These new procedures allow for TSA workers to screen passengers in a more detailed way, to find out what exactly a person is carrying with them…

    The scenery was a snap shot in a nature calendar. The grove of Eucalyptus trees filled up the whole the picture and a paved black stip cut through the woods so smoothly that it looked like it belonged there. It was a rather wonderful day. The air was as thin as can be and the unrelenting sun shined all day. The dark green trees gave off a great smell that could have been a candle scent. It was like you were standing in a room full of those candles. Out in those woods you could taste the humidity easily and see nature growing every second. The gravel of the runway felt like it was burning your feet through your shoes. It gave off such heat that nobody wanted to touch it directly with their skin. But it was a perfect haven for an aviator.…

    I walked in holding the big bulky bags of clothing we wanted to take with us. I boarded the plane and heard the deep rich voice of the pilot announce” 12:03 takeoff time, destination, Orlando Florida”. We took off as swift as a bird and flew higher than the white puffy clouds.…

    For most of the 100 or so sleepy-eyed people boarding the U.S. Airways shuttle to Boston from New York on a recent hazy Saturday morning, the 35-minute flight could not have been a bigger non-event. But that was not the case for about 20 passengers clustered nervously near the gate. Many clutched puzzle books and bags of sour candy as though they held talismans. Some made nervous jokes, others sobbed quietly. “I have pills with me just in case of an emergency,” said a teenage girl who planned to distract herself on the flight with celebrity magazines. Mariasol Flouty, a 44-year-old software developer from White Plains, held fast to her Sudoku book. “I had plane-crash nightmares,” she confessed. “I woke up very tense.” No one was more terrified than Beth Brenner, a 45-year-old mother of two teenagers from Somers, N.Y. “I was hysterical last night,” she said, “but my son said, ‘You’re going to be O.K.’ ” Ms. Brenner was crying quietly on the…

    The air flew past our heads, and screams echo through the air. The sun is beating down relentlessly, people’s cheeks are tinted red, partly from screaming, partly from the sun burns that are beginning to take form. Individuals of every age are jammed close together. You can hear them begging for an end to their terror, and other are embracing the adrenaline, breaking out in hysterical, maniacal laughter. Lights flash in front of our faces, blinding us. At this point, my feet are dangling, and I am gripping onto the seat, a huge smile adorns my face. We are hurled into the air, spinning in large circles. The air smells like soft baked pretzels and cotton candy, mixed with the stink of sweat and sunscreen. Even whipping through the air, there is no missing the sound of vendors luring in little kids, or the buzzing when someone wins a prize a hundred feet below our…

    My flight to Stockholm would be late landing. The pilot told us that we were in a ‘stack’ of planes circling above the snow clouds that were giving Brussels its first taste of winter. Air traffic control had closed the runways for a short period at dawn, and the early morning flights from all around Europe were now being allocated new landing slots along with the long-haul jumbos from the Far East and the US. After a 20-minute delay, we descended bumpily through the clouds, and landed on a recently cleared runway. Even then there was a further ‘hold’ on a taxiway; we were told that the de-icing of the apron was being completed so that planes could proceed to their allocated stands and airbridges. All around the airport I could see the scurrying flashing beacons of the snow-clearing vehicles, the catering suppliers’ vans, the aviation fuel trucks, the baggage trailers, buses transporting crews and passengers, security police cars, and an assortment of other vehicles all going purposefully about their work. Brussels airport always looks busy, with over 10 million passengers a year, but this morning the complexity and scale of the operations were particularly evident.…

    Places of serenity hold captive the fondest pieces of our memory. We walk on the hard, cold stone path barefoot. The air is filled with the aroma of gardenia. The cool, crisp breeze slices through the humid atmosphere. The wind-chimes sing their songs of sharp, staccato notes. The forest seemingly forever expands over the flat land of Louisiana. The rustle of the leaves of 100 year old oak trees in the wind reminds us of the outside world we had momentarily left behind. Little kid’s feet run on the fresh cut grass, fragrant and light creating a familiar smell of summer. Cold, iced tea cools your hand through its confinement of a mason-jar. We sit on cold, stone benches that make us undeniably uncomfortable but we are unwilling to move. The sun bears down on us unforgivingly, making the day so hot it hurts. The air is slightly seasoned with the taste of dew in the early morning stinging your nostrils and forcing you to curl your toes. The garden’s appearance is just as soft and inviting as the memories invested in our hearts.…
