吐槽一下夏洛特国际机场
2024-7-5
7月4号是美国的独立日，在夏洛特机场转机飞洛杉矶，因为坐的是美国航空公司的航班。
It calls itself an international airport but in reality this is very much a US airport just full of Americans and US shopping and dining, I think there are a few international flights everyday but I felt this airport is mainly for US flights connection to other US cities. The airport felt like it’s in the middle of nowhere in a construction site so forget about just stepping outside and finding anything to do, only place landside is a awful Starbucks, a bar maid told me that you’ll need to take a 5 minute cab ride to get to anything outside of the airport. Half the airport was under some construction process with power lines exposed, moving walkways, and toilets.
下面是一个白人旅客的留言，是种族歧视的：
If you are Caucasian and find yourself in CLT, just know that you will NOT be confused for a customer. The gate agents are exceptionally rude and overtly racist to the extent that it was being openly discussed by passengers at the gate. After dealing with personnel at this site, I wouldn’t even consider attending any event in Charlotte.
美国航空公司提前给的自动登记卡上说好是在D13登机口换机，却被临时给换成了在B5登机口，这两个登机口之间，需要走很远的路。如果只是马大哈，不仔细去看一下提示的大屏幕，或者是转机的时间太紧，就要乌鸡了。
THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. Missed flight after American Airlines moved terminal on me 3 times. Intercom system not clear or concise. After finally missing flight running back and forth, was sent to American Airlines customer service desk. Man was rude, unapologetic, and gave me hotel listings which were ALL BOOKED. Asked numerous airport personnel about app amenities which I realize do NOT exist. Spoke with janitorial, agents, numerous security personnel and even management which sent me to a cold basement. Definitely marking Carolina off my bucket list along with this airport, and AMERICAN AIRLINES who also charged me twice for their free baggage.
Americans have so many delayed flights today, it’s ridiculous. The weather is good. Every gate has full seating & many people standing. Impossible to get restaurant food because of long lines. I guess they can’t keep it clean because of the volume of people but it’s dirty. Avoid this layover if possible.
中间去汉堡王买了个大鱼的汉堡，8块99一个，加上税要10块27。收费的黑婆姨，和其他好几个员工，都胖得没了屁股，还把给她的20块的美钞，装模作样地在日光灯下连续看了好几张，都不满意，到了第三张才同意收，简直是闻所未闻，齐天大辱。可见当地制作和使用假钞的人，是如何猖獗和不堪的了。至少你要造假，也造点大面值的，二十元的美钞，成本太大了点吧!
Currently sitting in the baggage claim area of the Charlotte airport. Security ushers you out of the airport around 1 am. The Airport is absolutely freezing!! The only concession open is Starbucks. the electrical outlet used to change my cell phone may electrocute me at any moment. Absolutely horrible experience here.
最后是机场内汉堡王给的汉堡包的食品袋中，连张餐巾纸都没放，更不用说汉堡包中，鱼块不是新炸的，上面没放酱汁，只放了两片酸黄瓜片，咸得要死。看起来夏洛特机场里面的快餐业，也已经和这夏洛特的机场一样，是日暮途穷的了。
The toasted brioche-style bun was probably the best part of the fish sandwich. It had a tempting and visually appealing look to it. The Big Fish sandwich’s fish patty would probably be described as being similar to McDonald’s with their flat rectangular patty. Unfortunately, the patty was really thin. I’m not sure if there was more panko or more fish in the actual patty. To be called the Big Fish sandwich was the ultimate oxymoron; similar to Little John in Robin Hood. While I enjoyed the toppings like the sweet tartar sauce and tangy pickles, the sandwich fell flat literally and figuratively. I don’t think the fish could be described as crispy or flaky. It was just a flat piece of fish that didn’t do much of anything. All I could taste was the tartar sauce and pickles.
