Madrid airport looks well marked, but that one I walked to/from my hotel or else took the metro or commuter train. Haven't been to Malaga since last century.

Yes, apparently it's about 25 minutes on foot from Zaventem train station. As the weather is getting nicer now, shouldn't be too much of a bother for many of us, although if you have serious baggage it will be out of the question.

TRD-Hell
It's about 30km to downtown Trondheim but only a short walk from TRD to Hell. Just walk through the parking garage, past the shopping mall, then cross the river and head down into Hell. I'll warn you that there's not much to do. In fact, I found Hell kind of boring. Perhaps take a selfie at the train station if you are so inclined? It was okay for an hour or so but I wouldn't want to spend eternity there.
On another note, if you time it right you can take the train from Hell into Trondheim and save yourself 5 or 6 bucks over the cost of the airport bus.

LGA - This is no problem at all and I'm surprised the Port Authority police stopped someone else on here. Just follow the sidewalks, many airport staff walk in everyday from surrounding neighborhoods.
Curious if anyone here has tried SDQ? I found Santo Domingo insanely un-walkable despite a ton of pedestrian traffic.
Also how does one access the wiki?

Um, look at the top of this page and click "see full Wiki."
If you want to add / edit, then it's "once you have been on FT for 90 days and have made 90 posts."
Meaningful posts, we moderators have a bad habit of deleting posts that were made to add to post count
