Are airports as a whole liminal spaces?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

An airport fits the definition pretty well

unless you're a staff member

Yes.

But one can be a bit more specific and think of their long corridors as liminal spaces, but the cafés and stores in them as not. I flu a few times per year out of the same airport, and typically wait in the same café for over one hour. I use this time to rest a bit before getting on the flight and eat something, and it doesn't feel liminal at all.

Yes. Especially the bits that connect multiple concourses on foot.

Flying into small fields in a small plane can be an interesting experience; some are actually quite busy, they'll either have a popular mechanic shop on the field, a busy local flight school, or it's a destination for business jet travel because of a local golf course or something. Others are almost abandoned, which can be an interesting experience to visit.
