Tumbleweed even blowing through the forum now.
Went to the airport the other day, not to fly but to pick up a car, to drive to another airport where flights actually take place.
The place was like a ghost town, we parked in the 20 minute car park, it has a barrier so charging can take place, the barrier was left in the up position, looks like it would cost them more to empty any machine than the revenue stream would bring in.
The only car in the car park was ours and it was the middle of the afternoon. Went to the hertz desk, did not pass a single person on the way in to the airport or inside the terminal. I asked the Hertz lady how they make a living there and she said that it was because of local corporate clients that they were able to keep going rather than anyone from the few flights left. She said who knows how long we would have before the place closes bu it surely cannot keep going on like this.
We collected the car keys and left, without seeing another single sole. How many other airports could you go to through the main enterance in the UK at 2.00pm on a wednesday afternoon without seeing a single human being who is not a member of staff ?
