Abstract:

The chapter explores the academic discussion on the airport as a place or non-place, a liminal space or space of transition, a space of mobility or immobility, a space shared with others, a space of surveillance and a space of consumption. It draws on literature from various fields of study including hospitality studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, mobility studies, transport studies and tourism management. In so doing, it demonstrates the complexity that is the modern airport experience for airline passengers. While the airport may be a symbol of global, postmodern nomadism, as social and cultural theorists propose, travellers may have a less grand view.
