Right now, like a third world refugee camp.
Can't leave the airport either. Taxi line is 4 hours.
75% of flights are cancelled, 20% are delayed by 4-8 hours, but TK5306 to Medina is showing on time (only TK flight that is on time right now...)

What's even funnier is, that I arrived from SFO (which was around 3 hours late to the gate). Agents at SFO couldn't check my bags through and said just go landside and they will put you in a hotel (my connection qual's for transfer hotel).

Obviously that's not what happened, but I still got to enjoy 2 hours of passport control. (in and straight back out).
