A few airport reviews from the archives
by Juni Marie
"I had just removed my appendix at the hospital in Hammerfest and was waiting for the plane home with my mom. On the first floor there were hard "sofas" - really just chairs put together. But on the second floor there were soft sofas, with armrests and large pillows. I fell asleep while waiting for my plane and did NOT want to leave the sofa when we were to board the plane."

Now, I don't really think anyone else would even CONCIDER sleeping over at the airport in small-town Hammerfest (I'm surprised they even HAD an airport) but my situation was kind of desperate since I was suddenly stuck in this town of 9000 inhabitants, knowing no-one. I couldn't reach a hotel, since there were no buses after 7pm(!), so I decided to stay over at this pixie-sized airport. There were about two people at work there, so I didn't think it'd be a problem ...until I made my first contact with the seats ...talking about Economy-class... Upstairs (yes, there is a second floor, but it's small...) there were only hard, uncomfy stools, so I was forced to lie down at one of the smelly, hard couches in the arrival/check-in area. I had just managed to relax after finding out that the so-called cafe had been closed down for a year, when someone tapped on my shoulder. The airport is locked up and abandoned at night, so I, poor git, found myself in liliput-land, with no place to go. so, at two a.m. in the night, I knocked on a wildly chosen door, asking some stranger for help, and the man, good soul, actually gave me a lift to a hostel, where I slept over night..."
