Bettina is not the only one to live in a Spanish airport. Generally, such residents are tolerated so long as they do not bother passengers. In Britain, four people were given asbos for living at Gatwick.

Don't mess with BAA Gatwick, now owned by a Spanish conglomerate.

Old and busted: Women living in airports. New hotness: Cat ladies living in airports. Ah-choo! Sniffle.

Is it Tom Hanks in the performance of a lifetime???

She should have set up camp at the caves of drach, much nicer scenery there, as long as the guards dont shoot ya for taking pictures.

living in an airport seems kind of sad, but i suppose one could do worse.

Came here to say that they should make a movie out of this and have Tom Hanks play the woman.

Someone sort of already said that. I didn't want to waste a trip,so I said it again.

Bettina. I like it. I think I'll change my name.

carry me home to birmingham
to my sara ann
to where i grew a man
mmm mm
carry me

Where does she buy cat food? Or is the kitty eating overpriced airport food along with her?

Bettina is often seen quietly reading, dressed smartly in jeans and a sweatshirt.

I have never thought jeans and a sweatshirt was dressing smartly...but maybe in Spain

If this were an American airport.....her farkin a** would have been locked up 9 years 11 months and 30 days ago.

Reading how the people that work there treat her as a "tenant" actually makes it a good story IMO.

Yes. I once read a fictional short story about a guy who was arrested because he "exihibited too much happiness." He was sentenced to live six months in a bus station. He could not leave the premises, had to sleep, wash and eat (food out of the vending machines) for six months. It cured him.

Even if this was allowed to happen in the U.S., would she have to keep all of her toiletries in a zip lock bag?

FTFA: "She cleans herself and her clothes in the toilets"

Nice.

/yes, I know what it means

My cat and I have just put in a bid here at San Diego Airport!

Also, what are these "asbos" that the cops are handing out at Gatwick? Asbestos lesbians?

You would think that one of the merchants there at the airport might have given her a job long ago..At least as a cleaning woman.

win.

I can't imagine she has much of a sex life...unless she pulls "Larry Craig"s regularly.

Terminal was just okay. Better Tom Hanks efforts include Saving Private Ryan and A League of Their Own.

take him to detroit!

I doubt Sen. Craig would be interested in having her pull anything of his

After ten years living in a Spanish airport bathing in the toilets would you have sex with her?

RTFA, she has an income. But no one knows where the money comes from.

you all know you would hit it, and the cat.

Merry Sunshine: RTFA, she has an income. But no one knows where the money comes from.

I have an idea where..

/Check her knees..(I bet they are dirty..)

pxlboy: take him to detroit!

someone I was know was stuck overnight in DTW and went outside for a cig and got locked out. she didn't know the airport wasn't open 24/7

Bettina?

Well, it wouldn't be the first time that he dressed as a woman.

She smiled because I did not understand.

I see what you did there.

WIN!

Was she looking for platform 9 3/4?

Certainly! We have no laws against that! As long as every container is less that three ounces.

Her reign in Spain is mainly near the planes.

In honor of all the hilarious Tom Hanks pics in this thread:
