Purgatory

The airport is a destination for no one.

Every person is there temporarily as they shuffle from point A to point B. As a passenger, there is nothing you can do to make the trip go faster.

Do you get to the airport last minute and feel rushed as you pass thorugh security to get to your gate? Do you choose to get there early and wait around pacing for hours until boarding starts? Do you stay glued to your phone and computer trying to stay connected while working with a slow wifi connection?

It is the modern day Dante's Purgatorio.

Or...

Do you pay more to get good food, more space, and a comfy chair while relaxing at lounge? Do you take the opportunity with this transient time to reflect, read, doodle, or daydream?
