&lt;h2 id="why-i-started-this-site"&gt;Why I started this site&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve flown more than &lt;strong&gt;400,000 km&lt;/strong&gt; across &lt;strong&gt;100+ airports&lt;/strong&gt; worldwide as an aviation enthusiast and frequent traveler. Somewhere around airport #30, I realised the same problem kept happening: I&amp;rsquo;d land at a new airport, try to find the smoking area, and end up wandering for 20 minutes asking strangers, ground staff, and (occasionally) confused security personnel. The information online was fragmentary, often years out of date, and rarely terminal-specific.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
