The Surprise Airport
Radical thinking is sometimes good. When my good friend and personal hero Daniel Knoop messaged me saying he wanted to buy the Dutch Railways, as a joke of course, he said you could make something cool out of it. I started thinking of another idea I had a while ago: rethinking the Airport. Yeah sounds crazy, but hell, I hate airports, while going somewhere else can be a lot of fun.
So what's up with the idea? Suppose we design a Surprise Airport. A place where you go, relax and just fly to some other random place! Sharing your thoughts and explaining that you have this weekend off and that you have 200-400 euros to spend. Guess what: one of the lovely ladies at the 'surpirse desk' will figure something out that would be a wonderful trip. Maybe she'll google you up, and find some people that are wandering around at the airport, that would match you. Well who knows?
Without knowing your final destination, she'll give you a full ticket (including a hotel and the flight, a map in a secret envelope). Finally you will end up somewhere unprepared but ready to rumble. Maybe you'll get a set of clothes and you dress up like if it were a Bal Masqué! What ya think?
