always look on the bright side of life...

Was just looking through the inspiringly-named Budget Terminal's brochure just now, cos will be both fetching someone from there soon and also flying off and arriving via it for MEET trip as well, and came across this little gem of a description of the features of the terminal:

"Enjoy the experience of seeing the aircraft up close and personal as you walk about 20 metres across the tarmac to board the plane"

Ah, the power of euphemism - it certainly sounds much better than:

"Due to us being a budget terminal, we have not constructed aerobridges for your convenience in order to save on running costs, so instead we're afraid that you'll have to trod your own way in the open air to your airplane from the terminal building, come rain or come shine and climb up the steep staircase to board your plane"
