As a traveler, I understandably spend a significant amount of time in airports. I've blogged about them before.
Last August I was in Honolulu for a meeting. Hurricane Iselle was, simultaneously, making a head-on approach to the islands. My flight out was scheduled for 11pm, and the general assumption was that the hurricane would disrupt air travel -- and, indeed, ended up canceling flights that night.
I arrived at HNL several hours before my flight, figuring the place would be a madhouse.
Not so much.
(Incidentally, our flight was the last out of HNL that night, after two other flights had actually canceled because of the oncoming storm. Our pilot quite correctly considered it would be a bit bumpy on the outset, but not too bad afterward. Everyone else got to spend the night at the airport....)
