Sometimes the yin/yang of the inbox is entertaining.
Today, for example, I received an urgent reminder to vote for America’s Best Restroom and a warning about staying away from the World’s Scariest Airports.
Let’s do both.
Each year Cintas takes nominations for the Best Restrooms in Canada and in the United States.
You can see all the past winners in the Hall of Fame, but here at StuckatTheAirport.com we’re still celebrating 2005, when Fort Smith Regional Airport in Arkansas took home the potty-prize.
This year, no airports are on the list of ten finalists, but the restrooms at Santa Monica Pier are on the list as are those at New York City’s Muse Hotel and Bryant Park, where the amenities include attendants, flowers, scented oils and electronic seat covers – amenities we’d be happy to see at all airports..
Take a look at the best-loo finalists and cast your vote for America’s Best Room by August 31st.
Once you’ve voted for the best restroom in the U.S., take a look at the airports SmarterTravel.com has put on its list of World’s Scariest Airports.
In my book, scary airports are those with icky bathrooms, overpriced food or pay-to-use-WiFi. But this list defines scary airports as those where geography and/or weather make take-offs and landings dicey. Which airports are on the list? In the U.S. the authors list New York’s LaGuardia Airport, Yeager Airport in West Virginia, John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, CA. – and the airport in Nantucket, MA. International airports that make the list are in Guatemala, Scotland, New Zealand, Bhutan, Gibralter and Honduras.
What makes an airport scary for you?
