I totally agree, I can't see what all the fuss is about either. Prestwick really isn't as bad as some people make out. Yes, there are improvements that could be made at Prestwick but I have been at many worse airports. Last Friday I flew from Alicante back to Prestwick. The seating at Alicante had definately seen better days. Some of the padding had been taken off and there was just the bare metal to sit on. Some had been ripped. I could go on. Does that stop me from using Alicante? HELL NO!! I don't go on holiday to look at an airport!! How long am I going to spend in it? Not that long.
I hope that Prestwick will attract more airlines and flights. The more they attract, the more passengers will pass through the airport which in turn will generate more revenue and hopefully more investment to upgrade the facilities.
