[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (4 children) Are airports as a whole liminal spaces? permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Bertz@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) An airport fits the definition pretty well permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago unless you're a staff member permalink fedilink source parent [–] SilverShark@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yes. Especially the bits that connect multiple concourses on foot. permalink fedilink source parent
