Hey, Spatula, I gotta agree with you on Narita International. I've been to Japan a couple times now, and wow, being able to access trains right from the airport is a big plus. In fact, on my first trip to Japan my hotel was actually accessible directly from within the train station, so it was just a matter of taking a train from Narita to Tokyo and then taking a local Tokyo train to where the hotel was located. Very convenient, I must say!
On the other side of things, I also agree with everyone complaining about LAX. I live in California, so all my international flights are always out of there, so I've had to deal with it quite a bit over the years. I suppose it can't be helped since it's such a big airport, but I just can't stand the traffic there. Anyone who's been there should probably remember what it's like going around that big loop and how congested things can be there sometimes. If it were up to me, I'd model trains in California after those in Japan and then set up a system like that in Narita with trains going right into a station right by the airport (but of course, it isn't up to me, and even if it were, this would take an enormous sum of money).
Incidentally, from what I've heard, there actually is a train line that is relatively close to LAX right now but was purposely not connected to LAX in order to give cab drivers and other such services the business instead.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
