I had just finished working on a summer camp and was due to take a flight from Oakland to LA (we were being cheapskates by flying budget from that airport anyway - the camp was just outside San Francisco). As the flight was early and we finished on camp late, and I was short of money it seemed like a really good idea to stop the night in the airport. Yeah right.
Firstly, although there were the incredibly uncomfortable bucket seats available, they were extremely short in number and so I was forced to sleep on the floor on a grotty carpet which looked as if many people had vomited on it over the years.
Security was definitely lacking - it felt as if I was sleeping in the middle of a war zone with the amount of very drunken and drugged up people wandering around. I was actually extremely concerned to fall asleep as I felt my stuff would be nicked, so I had to awkwardly lie on a very lumpy rucksack so I'd be aware if anyone took it.
Regular announcements through the night kept me awake, and as there was no means of getting anything to drink, my unbelievable thirst started to keep me awake too.
I could go on with my uncomfortable night at Oakland Airport, but it really is unnecessary as I only have one piece of advice to give - DON'T SLEEP HERE!!!"
