JFK Airport From A Passenger Point Of View

As I got off the plane I started coughing. The Delta flight attendant from my flight offered me a water to have with me as we waited for our next flight. After we passed through customs, needing for some reason to pass though metal detectors again, they made me dispose of the water.

We were then headed like animals up an escalator, lucky us it was working, then we turn the corner, this one is not working, not only is it not working but it appears to have been out of service for many months if not over a year, the dirt had accumulated in the grooves of the escalator there were dust bunnies and lint balls everywhere. We proceeded to our terminal and on the way I came down with a bout of coughing my throat was locking up I could not breath without coughing. I needed water, $4.00 for a little tiny bottle. This however was not the problem the problem was the dirt, I only have hay fever allergies not extreme allergy, but the dust in the airport made me sick, sweaty and embarrassed.

This is a very serious problem, airport employees threaten not to let me get on my flight if I didn't stop coughing, and he said other passengers may be concerned I have a virus. I refused to stay in the airport another minute than I had to. After boarding the plane my coughing subsided but didn't stop, as soon as they closed the cabin doors I could finally breathe again. You might not think airplane air is good, but after experiencing what I did at JFK Airport I was grateful for the dry, but clean airplane air.
