On May 3rd I fly from Phnom Penh to Sarasota, Florida, with a ton of stops and long layovers along the way because I am a cheapskate and will buy the worst ticket if it saves me even $100.
This made me laugh because I used to use this tactic but later abandoned it after one of my budget trips had me on a layover in Ukraine for 15 hours and there was nothing at all to do there, plus the outlets for plugging in stuff were a weird type I have never seen before and even my adaptor didn't work on them.
I've had some bad ones through the years, the worst being a 14-hour layover with the family in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, on the way to Ecuador. There was no internet there, but I later learned after a google search that is the worst ranked airport in the world. I totally agree with the rating, apparently Jedda is for East African migrant workers and people doing the Hajj, but the Saudis use Riyadh's airport to keep the poor and black folk segregated from the elites. We didn't even have a place to sit until after 6 hours a random Ethiopian guy offered his chair to our youngest daughter.
Yeah, you win. There was plenty of places to sit, internet, and a well-stocked pub in Kiev. I wonder if the lack of net in S.A. was because they censor everything there.
