Dear Taichung Happiers,

Most travel memories call forth smiles, and some exceptions do exist. Could any extremes of airport experience be one of them? Writing the BBC sitcom “Come Fly with Me”, the British author David Edward Williams concluded "All human life can be found in an airport." And our host Jeffrey, who wishes to travel less in 2014 due to his more-than-plenty business trips in 2013, is inviting Happiers to examine the airport life.

The “Guide to Airport Performance Measures” from Airports Council International (prepared by Oliver Wyman, February 2012) suggests six airport performance indicators: Core (such as the number of passengers and operations), Safety and Security, Service Quality, Productivity/Cost Effectiveness, Financial/Commercial, and Environment (airport managements striving to minimize environmental impacts). http://www.google.com.tw/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=42&ved=0CDUQFjABOCg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oliverwyman.com%2Fmedia%2FACI_APM_Guidebook_2_2012.pdf&ei=2HfKUrUwztCQBfmVgNAK&usg=AFQjCNEAU6wW-bXJdVFiohEKjA_38Zcd3g&sig2=wB2APB0V4_2JW6qhIf23Mw So, what do you think of the first and second terminals of Taoyuan International Airport? http://www.taiwantrade.com.tw/CH/bizsearchdetail/7365608/C And, what is your expectation of the third terminal of Taoyuan International Airport? http://www.casid.org.tw/casid/news/u_news_v2.asp?id=420&newsid=5086 Come join us and make us see what you have seen.

“Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls.” Although the author is unknown, this quote can have meanings behind it. While we are saying “R.E.A.L.L.Y?”, Jeffrey is requesting Happiers’ funny or romantic experiences in the airport. Therefore, bring our smiles, dream of our dream holidays, and devote ourselves to the story time. Ladies and gentlemen, why not fly without wings? (Again!)





Best Wishes,
Jasmine
