ONE
Put tables alongside the security queue. Then we can get our laptops out early and reduce everyone else’s queuing time rather than waiting until just before we get to the conveyor belt. It is virtually impossible to pull a laptop out of a bag whilst holding said bag, incidentally.
TWO
Employ passport control officers who have a little consideration for frequent travellers. You know, ones who can fit stamps in the gaps of already used pages, rather than stick their handiwork right in the middle of a crisp new page.
THREE
Get rid of those awful taps that you have to hold down in order to get water out. Anyone who says they can wash their hands properly under those things is lying, and they seem particularly prevalent in airports for some reason.
FOUR
Put plug sockets near the seating so we can plug our laptops in.
FIVE
And the obvious one… OFFER FREE WIFI ACCESS.

SIX
Abandon the notion prevalent in much of the West that the airport is a strange land in an alternate dimension that requires magical chariots to reach it, necessitating enormous fares. The airport is, believe it or not, located in the real world – connect it to regular public transport and charge the normal fare.
