Would winter in Philly be a bust besides th…

Most accommodating airport I have the pleasure to visit. Had a connecting flight at Helsinki International airport. In the international terminal they have seatings that are not blocked off by arm rests so you can actually spread out if you wanted to. And they even invited travelers to recline and relax. Way to win brownie points, Helsinki! submitted by /u/neonam11

I’m trying to get him excited about the world that’s out there but he seems to only want the safety of ireland and Irish pubs abroad.
