Seen them in the wild too (one at Heathrow airport on the way back from skiing last year).

Thanks, just used that as a proposed img for a halloween campaign. Will update once I have feedback.

shit

I saw someone on a similar contraption in Copenhagen airport. He looked like a muppet, but he got to the gate quicker than everyone else. If you travel enough by plane and have no sense of shame maybe it's worth it.

I would totally have one of those things. I'd ride it everywhere on the pavements. Let's see how you feel about me then, cyclist-hating peds!

he got to the gate quicker than everyone else.

So he was waiting around at the gate longer, having taken less exercise? Winner.

Depends, some airlines/airports it's first come first on at the gates. In the 'hand luggage only' wars it's about getting on early so you don't end up having your bag shoved in the hold because there's no space left overhead.

(Un)Luckily most of my work travel was long haul so I always had checked bags and no need to rush.

But some airports is was better to rush when collecting luggage and going through immigration. The difference between first and last bags off the conveyor could be worth up to 2 hours less queuing at immigration at SFO airport years ago, especially if the two Asian flights landed around the same time.

as a father myself I really know what you mean. however, I believe that most airline companies would demand that you buy a ticket to your kid and take them with you in the cabin.

I didn't say he was there first. It was a 25min walk to my gate, I walked past him while he was still eating a meal and he zoomed ahead of me just as I was arriving at the gate. Given I was hungry and hadn't had enough time to have a decent meal, his way seemed to have certain merits.

^This, in spades.

And also those times when you have to make connecting flights in a hurry because you've got to get from random place A to random place B on the single flight that will get you there in time for a meeting. Scooter man doesn't seem so bad there, either.

I probably would have loved one of those aged 6

Frankly "Bumble Hole Foods: purveyor of quality egg products" is pretty funny on it's own.
