As pretty as an airport

Douglas Adams was credited with noticing that the phrase “as pretty as an airport” isn’t exactly in common parlance. Another Douglas noted that Vancouver’s airport is actually fairly pretty, for an airport. Douglas Coupland said that it’s a crash course in Vancouver style – lush greens, lots of glass, etc etc.

Well it’s no surprise that YVR has been voted among the world’s best airports – beating (among others) the far more melodiously-named Tullamarine in Melbourne.
