Flight from Calgary to London - 10pm

I caught my ride and arrived at the airport and was counselled by the check in clerk to proceed through security as soon as possible as it was very busy, so I did so and found myself through security in 10 minutes, with over 2 hours to idle away until my flight actually left. In the Calgary airport there is a glass divider, dividing the international and US sides of the international post-security terminal. And for some damnable reason, the American side is the one with all the cool stuff. A lounge, a few restaurants, even an inexplicably larger general shop than the International side. Why the Calgary Airport would do this is a mystery, even more so is why they would do it and then have glass dividers showing you what you're missing out on by not travelling to the States. I suspect some international government conspiracy that everyone long ago forgot the point of.

Isn't it f'n annoying? And there's not even an outlet anywhere on the international side to plug in a laptop. I bet the American side has outlets. The Yanks are clearly favoured at Calgary international - you can draw your own conclusions from that. TG
