After delays caused me to miss the last connecting flight of the night, the airline wasn't going to pay for a hotel, so I decided to try to sleep at the airport. Big mistake! I think this is one of the noisiest airports I could imagine! Loud floor-polishers kept me up for the first few hours, and then the FedEx planes all started taking off in the wee morning hours. I didn't get more than an hour of sleep total!
The first problem was that when our flight arrived, they sent us back out to the ticket counters to make rebooking arrangements. They told me I'd need to check in again the next morning, so with no boarding pass, I had no way to get back through security, leaving me to sleep in the front lobby. Thankfully, there were some connecting chairs with no armrest, so I could lounge a little, and coming from a wedding, I had a bridesmaid's dress to use as a blanket (who says you can't re-use a bridesmaid's dress?!). It seemed like it would be a decent and restful nap.
Not at all! The cleaning crew took off polishing the floor around 1:30 am. Memphis is a FedEx hub, and to avoid the commercial flights, their jets start taking off around 3:30! In this part of the airport, the noise of the jets taking off overhead was extremely loud, and they continued non-stop until it was time to check-in for my 6:00 flight.
On a positive note, the bathroom was nice and tidy (at least at 5 in the morning)!
