Hanging around Zurich Airport

I'm standing in one of the top airports in the world. Simple, clean, efficient.


Well here I go again, waiting at the gate an hour before boarding. I enjoy watching the planes landing, being serviced and taking off. They are like pretty little toys in the bright sunshine. Everything happens so deliberately around them, slowly each vehicle approaches the grounding line, the ramp extension, the fuel hose, the food service, the back stairs, the luggage handlers.

Suddenly, I wake up from my little dream, on the the final passport check and gate E56.

The extra step reminds me that Switzerland is not part of the EU.
