Airport Descriptive Essay

Minutes to get there, and the whole 30 minutes was boring. I was ready to sleep; I was also super hungry, I was so excited I was about to burst. I had a fear about a few rides, but i didn’t let it overcome me.

It was still about five hours until our flight and Alfred looked starved after going without food for an hour. We found a parking spot to abandon his car in until we came back from the trip. The bus to the terminal took a while, but it did not justify waking up so early for the 11 o’ clock flight. It wasn’t until we got inside that I found out just how much the airport has changed. We checked in our luggage and printed out our tickets at this machine that scanned our passports. We went up an escalator to find our gate, but before we could get to it there was this huge line we had to go through.

You are in an airport waiting for your plane to arrive. You've never flown before, and are more terrified than you can ever remember being. Everyone has told you the supposedly comforting statistics - "millions of planes take off each day and there's only a handful of crashes," "flying is safer than driving." You know rationally that there is no reason to be so scared, but regardless your heart is racing, your palms are sweating, and you're light-headed. Simply the thought of being up in the air, out of control, makes you feel faint. Finally the flight attendant announces that your plane has arrived. But as all the other passengers line up to get onboard, you grab your luggage and walk straight out of the airport,

After everyone got ready to go, we got our bags and headed down stairs to check out of our rooms. All of that was finished it was time for us to go to Cancun, we all loaded up into a "shuttle" they called it and drove to the airport. It was about a twenty minute drive. When we got to the airport we unloaded all of our things from the "shuttle," and headed into the airport. When we got inside the airport we went over to baggage check, and they scanned our passports, weighed our bags, and then sent them off to be loaded into the plane. Once we got all done with that we made our way to security, and they checked out carry on's and out electronics. After we finished with security we then walked over to where all the stores and food places were located. Me, my mom, and my brother had an omelet for breakfast it was pretty good for airport food. After everything was finished we then went over to the place where we sit and wait until we board the plane. We waited for about ten minutes, and then Me, My grandma, My cousin Sean, and my grandpa pre boarded so we could save seats for all fourteen of us. Everyone had finally boarded the plane and after about twenty minutes of waiting, the plane then took off and we were on our way to Cancun, Mexico. A three and a half hour flight felt like forever, we went over New Orleans, St.Louis, and for about an hour and thirty

Twelve hours is a long time to sit in a confined area, even if you are able to get up and stretch a bit at times. I suppose leg room is a luxury on a plane after all. I looked out the window and viewed the ocean in all directions, seemingly as endless as the flight itself. The clear weather soon took a turn for the worst, the light fluffy clouds below turning darker and more ominous. Soon the plane is completely engulfed in the clouds. The seat belt sign lights up as the aircraft enters the turbulent air and the pilot’s voice issues over the speakers asking everyone to return to their seats. The stewardesses appear walking down the rows, checking everyone’s seat belts and ensuring all bags and loose items are secured. The turbulence gets worse and the pilot changes altitude to get out of the choppy air, but it was to no

The doors sealed shut and the plane rumbled to life. We began our crawl down the runway and finally, we lifted into the air. I was on the plane and it was going to be smooth sailing from there, right? Wrong. Apparently, in my 17 years, I had done something to angered the fates and now on this

As soon as the door opened, the heat hit me. It was like putting a hot iron in front of my face. But it felt even worse as there was a slight wind which pushed the heat towards me. My body was surrounded in a blanket of heat and I even started to sweat slightly. My uncle told me to wait by the lift as he went to collect the car so I wouldn’t have to walk as far and drag my suitcase along. While I waited, I took time to look around at the surroundings. I could see mountains which stretched towards the clouds and the airport behind me. There were a vast number of people walking around from their flight looking drowsy and with no energy. The frequent red double-decker bus also came and a few planes flew above my head. I didn’t even have to look, but I could hear the planes departing and arriving. The planes all looked the same in the sky, big and white with some sort of logo. During the wait, I took a few steps to take away the cramp. Although I had trainers on, I could feel and see that the floor was new. The concrete looked

Four hours before our flight left to Kelowna, we ate breakfast and checked over our luggage to see if we packed everything. The next thing we did was drive to the airport to check in and put our luggage on the plane. After that, we went through security which was fun but nerve-wracking to me. Once we made it through security, we sat in the waiting area which included many stores like the Gucci store and the Omega shop along with many gift shops. The Gucci store did not open until eight in the morning, so I couldn’t look at anything. We had to buy food for the trip and board the plane at 8:45 am. This year, my parents booked a connecting flight which meant that we had to stop at Kelowna on our way to Cancun, Mexico. It took 45 minutes to fly

Of course, I had to go through immigration, pick up my bag, and once again pass through security. Once I was in the gates, I started finding my gate, and by this time I had only 3 hours left to leave. I was desperately hungry, like if I hadn’t eaten for a long time. This was the first thing I did, eat. I waited there until it was time to board again. Like one hour before boarding, I started walking to my gate. People were all rushing, and desperately trying to go everywhere, so it took me awhile to get there. By 8:00pm, I already was inside the plane. About one-hour flight, I was so tired but refused to sleep. I watched all the people around me, and in that moment I felt so lonely in the plane because I didn’t know anybody at all. Once I got there I took a taxi, and went to my apartment where I had everything already set up since summer. I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until next

As I stepped out of the terminal of the McCarran International Airport, an instant heat wave struck my already sweating skin. The blistering heat of the Nevada desert airs already took an early lead as I had never experienced anything like that prior to. In a panic rush, I searched for an Uber already running late to my first game! Of course the departure from Bush Intercontinental being delayed by plane turbulence and having an emergency landing. As the Uber pulled through the terminal passenger pickup,

Finally it's Sunday the day of our departure at the lambert airport in St.louis. Our departure was scheduled for 8:00 in the morning. At last were on the airplane and started to ascend into the air, While ascending you could hear the turbines started to spin as It is thrusting us upward into the clear blue sky.It took about 10 mins to to get to the altitude that we were supposed to be at. while we were waiting until we arrive at our next destination I watched monsters vs aliens and just watched the sea of white becoming a blur as we kept on forward to Hawaii.before the last plane ride from California to Hawaii the pilot had to say they were double checking the plane before we go over the

As the flight attendant announces final calls for my plane ticket, I sit anxiously for the plane to depart. The attendee speaks loudly, “Welcome aboard Flight #3102. We will depart from DFW airport and arrive at Bora Bora airstrip in approximately eighteen hours and ten minutes.” My stomach starts to turn. I can hardly wait to arrive in a place that one could only dream about.

McCarran International Airport (LAS) is the main commercial airport for the Las Vegas Valley and Clark County, Nevada. It is roughly 5 miles south of Las Vegas, NV in Clark County. LAS covers nearly 2,800 acres, with four runways and two terminals. LAS is owned by Clark County and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation (DOA) (AirportIQ, 2015). The airport is named after former Nevada senator Pat McCarran (Hall-Patton, 2010). LAS is a focus city and the largest operating base for Allegiant Air and Southwest Airlines.

The plane bounces even worse than before. My knees crash into the tray table, sending my half-eaten package of peanuts and my entire stack of magazines raining into the aisle. I instinctively grab for the armrest once more, and the businessman next to me lets out a

As I leave for Oregon I enter the Kahului airport, a fairly familiar site as I’ve been here a number of times for various reasons. Once inside I head to my destination, which isn’t too hard to find. The airport is sparsely populated with people awaiting their flights. On the way to my gate I come across a hot dog stand selling overpriced hot dogs. With nothing else to eat I bought one for myself and one for each of my brothers. Aside from each bite being a mouthful of onions, it was decent enough. Maybe he’d make more of a profit if he halved the amount of onions he used on each hotdog. I sit at one of the seats that line the aisles to eat my overpriced food. Beside me my brothers sit and eat their own hotdogs, the seats across the aisle remain empty much like most of the airport. The time comes to board the plane, the small space is filled and we take off shortly after. Looking out the window all you can see is the dark of night and the lights coming from the island. With a long flight ahead, I do my best to rest while I can.
