stuff I learned on my trip to Logan Airport
- if you're headed for the tunnel and the sign above the lane you're in is PURPLE...and you don't have an EZ-Pass...you're fucked. You will have to back up in the middle of Boston traffic and switch to a cash-only lane. You will look very foolish, and you might also possibly get killed.
- it costs $6.00 AN HOUR to park in the main Terminal E parking lot.
- DO NOT lose the ticket that the little machine at the entrance to the parking lot gives you, or you will get charged an additional $5.00 for a "lost ticket surcharge" ON TOP of the completely insane $6.00 AN HOUR parking rate. $6.00 an hour!! Inconceivable.
- If you miss the turn into the parking lot multiple times and you keep circling around and around the terminal, tense-looking men with badges will start to take notice about the 3rd pass by.
- In Massachusetts, what we in NH / VT know as the "break-down lane" is actually fair game for driving. People will pass you on the right, in the breakdown lane, going 75 mph, and glare at you for doing 70 in the "slow" lane. I'm sorry...here I was thinking I was OBSERVING THE SPEED LIMIT!! Silly silly me.
- Most people hanging out in the waiting area of Terminal E do not want to be friends with you. Even if they have something in common, like knitting...or a foreign fiance.
- Similarly, people in airports don't take kindly to you smiling at / talking to / entertaining their children. It doesn't matter that THEY don't want to pay one iota of attention to the kid and therefore the kid is running around screaming / singing / asking about what you're knitting. Do not pay the child any attention or you will be the subject of cold glares and the eventual picking up and moving of said child / children.
- When in line at Hudson News with a soda and a pack of crackers, you must yield to any and all airport employees that come through. They go first, regardless of how many of them there are and how long you may have been waiting in line beforehand.
