Recent Review

by Hollion
My sister and I had an 8 hour layover in the wee hours of the morning at this airport. Being here for the first time, I searched on this website and read a review about there being a bench in one of the D gates. We found no bench and ended up sleeping on the floor behind some seats. In the morning we decided to walk to our gate, and discovered that the C gates have cushioned armrest-less seats. The C16 area.. The C12 area... My back is sad but hopefully someone else gets to sleep here!"
