Turns out that the Istanbul flight departs from Terminal 2, not the fancy new Terminal 4. Terminal 2 is a relic of oh I dunno maybe the 80s? The amenities are dog-eared and even in the heyday the place was no prize. Wi-fi is pay-as-you-go, but there are places to plug in, and I’m paid-up and in-plugged. <\/p>\n

The food question is a bit vexed, with a few of the usual suspects (Starbucks, etc.) and some one-offs. We surveyed the possibilities and were taken in by something called Croque\u2122 Madame, which had at least the possibility of something cooked by human hands.

\n\"suspicioussmokedsalmon\"<\/a>

\nBetsy was good-natured about the experience:

\"Bscroque\"<\/a><\/center>
\nand it ended as all such meals do:
\"raggedremnants\"<\/a><\/center>
\nNote the cutlery: because we’re on the Air Side, it’s plastic. The fork flexes and the knife is not a cutter. But that’s how it goes once one is in the maw of the travel gods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
