書評人康納立（Cressida Connolly）讚嘆狄波頓是「英國文壇的奇葩」；另一位書評人葛雷茲布魯克（Philip Glazebrook）認為：「這種奇才作家，恐怕連掃帚的傳記都寫得出來，而且這柄掃帚在他筆下絕對是活靈活現的。」知名旅行作家莫里斯（Jan Morris）更說： Continue

■內容簡介：
全球矚目的英倫才子艾倫．狄波頓最具想像力的作品！
倫敦希斯洛國際機場首度大曝光，引爆話題的跨界文化創意
狄波頓超級粉絲．陶晶瑩：「這個人還需要我介紹嗎？」
陶晶瑩、蔡詩萍、鄭華娟、韓良露、褚士瑩、劉軒、李清志、歐陽應霽、盧郁佳……名人粉絲爭相捧讀！

嘈雜、繽紛又美麗，
機場是人類文明的想像中心。
在這裡，你可以選擇飛行的目的地，
也會不自覺思考，希望如何改變自己的人生。

2009年夏天，艾倫．狄波頓獲邀擔任英國希斯洛國際機場的「首位駐站作家」。
機場方面授予狄波頓史無前例的無限制通行權，讓他得以結識來自全球各地的旅客，訪談形形色色的人物，包括行李搬運工、飛行員、高階主管，乃至機場牧師。他根據親身所見所聞，寫出了這部非凡的冥想之作，探討旅行、工作、人際關係以及日常生活的本質。
狄波頓與知名紀實攝影家理查．貝克（Richard Baker）合作，探索機場這個熟悉又神祕的「非場所」－－這個我們亟於離開的地方，觀察其中的奇妙與庸俗之處，以及旅客與員工的互動。
狄波頓帶領讀者穿越出境、入境大廳和機場空側區，以他融合了風趣和智慧的一貫筆觸，讓我們知道，待在機場裡，可能比我們以為的更具啟發性。

Also, being inspired by this book, maybe we should also start to wrire how we feel and what we see in the airport. The observation can be a bonus in our journey.

I love Alain de Botton and I have cherished his works before this one. He is still very witty and observes the airport from a different view. However, I found this book a bit disappointing. He could not speak to my heart so far.
