Ease crowding by having people spend more time in the airport?
Sort of reminds me of a 30 minute layover I had at Chicago Midway once. Food was awful and overpriced, but my Mrs. had to eat before a less than 90 minute flight to Pittsburgh. We grabbed a couple of lousy plastic wrapped sandwiches for $7.50 each because the lines for even third rate food like McDonald's were appallingly long.
She was hungry enough to eat her sandwich. I was not. The only good thing I can say about Midway is that the Calcutta atmosphere also meant that the gates were close enough together that we were on board the next flight within 20 minutes.
Decidedly not an airport where I'd want to spend two hours.
Funny. I’m waiting in Williston, ND to fly out now. Flew in yesterday. They should rename this place “Testosterone”.
