Fatman Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm working on a consulting project for the new airport terminal in Mumbai specifically focused on the passenger experience. As either a domestic or international passenger, what would you most like to see in an airport? Just looking for ideas, no matter how out there...

Chief Dick Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Easy in, easy out. Go look at Kansas City's airport. Best one out there as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 A better way to store your stuff at the bar/eatery. Traditional tables and chairs are difficult, especially when traveling with winter stuff (I know, not a serious issue in Mumbai) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And use smaller concourses with quick access amongst them Anothe thing for larger airports is some of them have separate security for each. Change those to where once you clear security, you can access any concourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 More space to do work. With people needing to get thru security 45-60+ minutes before their flight, I inevitably end up pulling out my laptop to check email/surf/work. Counters with barstool-type chairs around the perimeter of the concourse would be great. More electrical outlets to charge any type of item. More TVs showing something other than CNN. Maybe a kid-friendly area for the youngsters to have something to do (other than drive parents nuts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I was at the Phoenix airport a few weeks ago. The only bar in our concourse closed at 6pm. We were on a long delay so we took the airport shuttle to the main concourse. Chilis was the only place serving alcohol. They call last call 5 minutes after we walked in at 9pm. Don't let this happen when chester is on a long flight delay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieFries Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Why do I have the feeling Mumbai is going to have the "Canyonero" of airports with the Huddle community giving advice about airport design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Bathroom stalls with walls that go all the way to the floor? Mumbai has a lot of money right? So how about this... have them develop a luggage tag that has some kind of unique gps transmitter or something like that so that they can confirm that your luggage has been loaded onto the correct plane... and for some reason if it has not, it can be located immediately.

Only problem, there was no Chili's, so the alcohol was done at 6, my plane left at 8:30... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm at Salt Lake City Airport now, apparently they need more payphones for all the Mormon Mission kids. What kind of cult doesn't let you use cell phones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbpfan1231 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 A toilet that does not automatucally flush 7 times while still sitting on it. Note: I can't believe I admitted that I actually drop a duece in an airport. Another note and don't want to get off topic but.... These automatic flush toilets? How much water is wasted? These things always flush three or four times - I stand up and if I have a backpack it seems as I throw that back on and turn to exit it sets it off again - frickin annoying.
