It could be worse - my first airline, my main route was generally out to the Australian mines - Especially Ballera Gas Field. The sunny town of Ballera consists of the following :
-A gas mine you never visit for obvious reasons
-Miner bunkhouses, which you never visit for obvious reasons.
-A tin shack that could charitably be described as an airport terminal
-A Runway and a small area of blacktop, big enough to park a small jet or two - I mean, Fokker F100 or smaller size, here.
-Scorching heat.
-Surrounding desert, and lots of it.

And you're stuck there for a minimum of two hours, twiddling your thumbs.
