This reminds me of the story of a former collegue of mine who worked as a consultant out of Oslo, Norway. 15/20 years ago the Oslo airport was still quite close to the city center, and for a while he had a client in Bergen, 400 km west. He was living a 5 minute bike ride from the airport. He would go there, enter the plane, and get to the office in less than an hour. He would be home for dinner every day. Environmental aspects aside I think this was what was deemed the future in the 60s... Then the airport was moved 50 km north of Oslo, then came the terrorists and all the security regulations.
