Empty Terminals: The Saddest Photos in the World

Airline schedule cutbacks aren't just killing fliers--they're hurting airports that are built to be crammed full of people. Business at Ontario Airport in LA is hurting, says The Wall Street Journal, and improvement projects in Atlanta, Phoenix, Oakland and Las Vegas are now on hold.

But it doesn't take a worldwide financial meltdown to create desolate airport terminals. These utterly depressing-but-beautiful photos were snapped around the world well before the markets went bust.

Worst timing ever

Yeah, Jet Blue just opened their new terminal at JFK in New York. It supposedly has 40 types of gourmet beer and food.

I hope the prices go down soon, or I won't be able to fly home for the holidays!

Double WOW

This is really bad for the airline/travel/business industry. I'm curious to find out what time this was? I would also be very creeped out if I was alone waiting for a 2 p.m. flight. Again seems very "Langolier"-ish. HAHA
