It's blue and yellow and they have these awesome red things shaped perfectly for your body that you can sleep on! <3 FUNLAP 7:48 PM Nick said... Whoa, great photo and great pick. Pretty sure that's the International concourse (I don't remember Detroit's Domestic having the rail service). The Amsterdam airport interior is great (lots of cheap WiFi and web access and sitting areas, who can complain) - but the connecting train/bus terminal right outside of customs really blew me away. I mean, HOW the hell did that design get approved? But it's beautiful and felt like an urban Disneyland cartoon. There was a really funky art installation smack in the middle the last time I was there... You walked into this cramped room made out of television screens, it was sort of like a big white maze. Since you made the jump to International... Probably the classiest airport terminal I've been to was on a layover in Seoul, South Korea. Beautiful hardwood floors and magnificent huge slanting window rooftop with a free WiFi cherry on top. Jet-set bliss. But back to Domestic. A great pick in Detroit A. Comments are sharing! And why don't you write in public anymore, Zach? 1:43 AM Zach said... Nick, To be clear, while international flights do leave from Concourse A, it is definitely not an exclusively international terminal. In fact, I blogged that post from my laptop in Terminal A while waiting for my connection from New York to Fort Wayne, and in fact have always connected through that terminal while going in and out of Fort Wayne. FYI, the WiFi at DTW was $6.95 for 24 hours -- but the Wifi at Fort Wayne International was complimentary. OW OW for FWA. 9:22 AM Tiffany said...

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
