I think music would be a good idea in airports as it would relax people better, but the biggest problem is that because people just pass through an airport, they would probably not be bothered by what was coming through the PA system; unless it was an announcement to say that their flight had been delayed/cancelled!
Then you also have the issue of trying to please everyone’s taste in music…not everyone enjoys ‘chillout/easy listening/instrumental’ music.
Here are some other ideas that I think airports should do in order to make passengers journeys less stressful…
1. Turn radiators off during periods of hot weather. Here at LGW, they are always switched on, which makes it very hot ‘n’ stuffy indeed.
2. Improve air-conditioning system to allow better air-flow around the building. Combined with the body-heat and sweaty smell of passengers, it is not very pleasent!
3. Encouraged use of self-service check-in kiosks to reduce queues at check-in. I know Northwest, Virgin Atlantic, Thomsonfly and Sterling all use the same kiosks here at LGW…perhaps more airlines should be encouraged to sign-up to use them!
4. More security staff to reduce queues.
Generally something along the lines of Joni Mitchell if I’m nice and relaxed or Rammstein if things arn’t going too well.
No Pink Floyd…Paul, I am disappointed!:D:diablo:
