Find A Way
I am an airport snob. There... I've said it.
I hate using stairs and I get annoyed at smaller airports that have no aerobridge.
I hate using the stairs because they always seem a little unstable with a lot of people all trying to get off at once. I usually have a carry on bag and a laptop bag as well. That leaves me one hand short to hang onto the guard rail and I always think that tarmac looks very hard and not something I want to do a face plant on.
One of the airports that a lot of people fly to and that I use a lot is Coolangatta (also known as the Gold Coast even thought it is quite a way from the Gold Coast.)
During a recent trip I discovered that they no longer have stairs, they have this:
This ramp is brilliant and for many reasons:
- It is easy for anyone to walk up or be wheeled up on a wheel chair
- The airline no longer needs elevators for wheel chairs (this will save them time and money)
- Roller bags easily roll up it
- It is more secure and safer
- It is easier for kids (and therefore parents of kids)
So obviously the airport has had the same concerns as me and has explored a way to address them.
The chances of them installing an aerobridge is very small, so they found a way.
It is not perfect. You will still get wet if it rains, it may be a struggle for certain people who need assistance, but it is an improvement.
I like to think that someone searched for a way to make boarding better.
What about you Dear-Reader?
What problems are you facing at work or home? There has to be a way to deal with them. Maybe someone else has already faced it and has an answer. Maybe there is a different perspective that will give you a solution.
The solution does not have to be perfect, just workable.
Find a way!
