Patience.

Any. Any room would be small. Room. Yes.

Right now, the reservation system says

fully booked. I cannot delete anything

until the client sends us the official

notice of cancellation. No, I don't

understand.

I'm okay. I'm fine. Thank you. Is

everything okay, sir? Can I be of any

assistance? You can come to my room.

Next one, please.

I don't think that's a very good idea.

Well, there's no use waiting alone around

here. If we could hang out together until

they find your room. I'm not like that.

Like what?

Listen, I. I had a really nice time last

night.

This might sound stupid, but I felt as if

we talked. No, like really had a good

conversation. Even though we didn't say a

thing. We have time until

the ash cloud is gone and then we won't

see each other again.

Do you know if the WI fi in your room

works any better than here?

Listen, I'm sorry for taking off like that

this morning. That's okay. And then that

language thing. You know, sometimes when

you're tired and someone comes to talk,

it's easier to pretend, you know. No, it

was actually kind of interesting.

So here we are again.

Yep.

I'm sorry, would you like, I don't know,

water or something? No, thank you. Okay.

Well, I just.

Has been canceled due to a false major

closure of airspace. Update will follow.

Sure. They'll have a room in a couple of

hours. Sure. You don't have to go if you

don't want to. Thanks. There's plenty of

room here too. I mean, I could sleep on

the couch if you like or. No need to

bother. Thank you. Right. Okay.

So I'll take a shower then. I need to go

out to do some work stuff. But feel free

to stay here. Okay. Thank you.

Would you like to join me?

Sorry,

no, no, no. Not like now. I. I meant out

later. No, I have plenty of work to do

here. Thank you. Sure. Feel free.

It's creating travel chaos in Europe to

booking flights to and from the U.S. nBC.

Tom. As in London this morning with more

on this story. Tom, good morning. Good

morning. Well, British aviation

authorities have just announced that there

will be abandoned flights in and out of

Britain until at least one o'clock in the

morning. All across Europe, airports have

canceled flights and closed for operations

in Scandinavia, the Baltic countries, the

Netherlands, across northern Germany, in

France, high down as far as northern

Italy. You know, 16,000 flights in Europe

have been canceled out of it. Total about

28,000. That's 2/3 of airplanes

grounded or turned away from European

airspace. Now it's causing travel chaos

across hotels,

railway stations crowded in major cities

across Europe as we don't try any needs of

getting to their estimation. Eurostar

alone 30,000 passengers a day between

Paris and Brussels. And Landsc. We have

even hearing stories of people taking

taxis across borders, across countries to

get to their destinations by the enemy.

Now, may I please.

Look, we just have to.

Oh, I pick up slot on.

Thanks.

What do you do, Bottle your

job? What do you do? I'm an architect.

Architect, okay. I'm kind of into

architecture. Like Alvar, Alta and Gaudi.

You know, we only redesign one of the

waiting areas at the Vilnius airport right

now. Oh, okay. Well, that must be exciting

too. Not really, no. I want to hear. Tell

them more. We've already agreed on the

structural changes and spatial solutions,

but I'm waiting to get the client's

approval for the waiting areas. It's this

sort of new kind of maybe bitch, radical

design idea. We go for that.

It's not all that interesting, you know?

Try me.

Okay. What is?

Traveling? Well,

moving, going to places, seeing new

things. Yes,

but. No, it's not just that.

What then? Traveling is waiting.

Think about it. When you travel, you have

to wait all the time. So how you wait,

it's a big part of your travel experience,

right? When you come to the gate at the

airport and see that there's others

waiting there already, how do you choose

where to sit? So that there's a room

around me? Exactly. People always leave

at least one seat free between them. And

places like this, see, no one sits side by

side. Something wrong with that?

Well, then there's not enough room for

everyone to sit. So people still

standing around get in the way. And nobody

likes to stand, especially if there's a

delay. But the solution could be,

for example, a space like this.

Hmm.

Sorry.

Hey, I'm leaving right now. But the guys

are waiting. We're downstairs. Five

minutes. See you in a minute.

Sorry,

you were saying?

This is LAX Terminal 4.

It gives people the choice to communicate

or keep to themselves. How come?

Study shows that with this sort of a

design, people would have more contact to

each other than spaces that force them to

be in uncomfortably close contact. And

that's what we are suggesting to the

client. So you help people

connect. A bit too.

Romantic idea,
