How could gate areas be better?
Oct 15 2007, 9:55 AM EDT
Southwest is renovating its gate areas with a family section, and with padded chairs, power ports, tables with power outlets, and TVs playing the news (see this week’s story). When it comes to airline gate areas in general, what kinds of changes or amenities would make your waiting time more comfortable and productive?

I'm writing this from Gate 13 at San Diego airport at this omment. My top priorities would be lots of power plugs, free wi fi (they have it here), and better discretion on the overhead paging system. Do you find this valuable?

I would like reclining chairs, pillows, blankets, and warm milk, for those long overnight layovers: otherwise, bring back the old days, when you could check in 30 minutes prior to departure, and airlines didn't close the ramp doors, 5, 10 or 15 minutes ahead published schedules...and even when you showed the gate agent the time on your atomic watch...they say sorry, pay me $100.00 if you want to get on the next flight, you were supposed be here 90 minutes ahead. On the other hand, I suppose there are some who enjoy the hours spent in these waiting areas.
