In a survey, travellers were quick to
provide feedback on those airports and terminals that left more than a little
to be desired – in terms of services, amenities, sleep ability and at times,
good old kindness. Travellers had to consider just how limited they thought the
four C’s (Comfort, Conveniences, Cleanliness and Customer service) of airport
travel were.
Comfort means crowded terminals,
uncomfortable and limited seating options and unpleasant temperatures.
Conveniences includes non-existent 24 hour food options, a shortage of activities to do and no WiFi
Cleanliness refers to dirty floors, the smell bathrooms and the untidy food courts.
Customer Service is all about unhelpful, unfriendly staff and anti-airport sleeping policies.
