Der Flughaven

The average flight delay at FKI is 30 hours longer than next worst airport and the customer service help line connects you to a hat store in Stuttgart, but that's just a minor criticism of Prague's Franz Kafka International Airport. Corridors end in the middle of nowhere and you're likely to spend an eternity in the security check, or should I say Czech.

No, I'm not making it up. You can't make this stuff up, unless you actually are Kafka and of course you couldn't pick a better name for the labyrinthine, frustrating and surreal airport. Czech it out and maybe next time JFK won't seem quite so bad!



And for heaven's sake, don't put FKI on your itinerary on April 1st!

  1. Captain, someone left an e-mail message in our Swash Zone gmail box asking for you. I don't who it is or what its about, but he asked you to call (305) 251-0400 and ask for Mr. Lyon.

  2. Um - yeah. . . I was going to tell you to call the Poisson d'Avril fish market at 407-351-3600 and ask for Mr. Mullet, but I guess you can't fool a cephalopod.

  3. April is the cruelest month, bleeding
    Assets from investment accounts, fixing
    Credit markets on borrowed cash, incurring
    Months of losses with no gain ...

  4. Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt.

    "Es hätte schlimmer kommen können" sagte er. "ich könnte ja Krake sein."
