Portland (OR) Airport Praised

Question: Why can't more domestic airports be like PDX?

There's lots in the world of air travel for The Cranky Flier to to get cranky about. In fact, there's lots to put all passengers out of sorts, but blogger Brett just explored an airport that made him smile -- at least I think he must of have been smiling when he wrote "Five Great Things About Portland Airport." You'll have to go to his blog to get details and see images, but here are the five things he found praiseworthy:

1. Green-tastic: Dual-flush toilets for saving water in "a place that gets far more rain in a year than should be legal ."
2. Pull Up a Seat - "Big benches just past security where you can sit and recompose yourself. "
3. Be Entertained - Live music, including a pianist, offered regularly. "I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t in a Nordstrom store," wrote Cranky.
4. Get Online Free - Free airport-wide Internet access, plus chargers for cell phones and iPods. Free WiFi is "more and more popular around the country, but I still don’t see it nearly enough."
5. Public Transit to the MAX -"There’s nothing I love more about an airport than good public transit access, and this has to be one of the best."

Amen!
