Airports!

Just back from a trip to Amsterdam, leaving from Bristol so thought would do a quick comparison on the two airports.

Wi-fi - Quick and easy to log into a pay per minute system at Amsterdam, but at Bristol you had to go to a corner with PC's where there seemed to be a seat in front of every one. A1, B0

Wheelchair availability - Both you have to go in a way, but despite a couple of hitches both got a chair in good time, but at Amsterdam you couldn't get it till you had checked in, so don't try if you haven't got electronic booking from your provider or you wont get any shopping time. A0 B1

Lift to planes - Bristol won hands down for taking my husband and my friend, Amsterdam expects you to go it alone. A0 B1

Food - a bit unfair as Bristol is so much smaller, but still a goof offering, so one all this time.

Toilets - both were clean and easy to find, so again a draw on this one.

Passport Control - Bristol have managed to put a barrier in the way of the disabled access so you get pushed into the queue a get tutted loads, amsterdam fast tracks you via the crew lines - A1, B0

All in all therefore its a draw on the main points for me, but you have been warned!
