I like to wait in airports

I do too. . . as long as I have a good book to read.

I usually hang out in the admirals club and it’s usually fairly enjoyable. Depends on the airport though.

My Hubby use to work for an airline and we loved to hang out at the terminals in the airport.

I think this is simply a sign of maturity.

I look at the fools who arrive at the last minute and are rude, panicked and in a frenzy. Usually they are either immature chronologically or mentally.

I like to go to the dentist.

I remember these at JFK. They were still there in the 1990s IINM.

Airports are a lot nicer than they used to be. Better layout, restaurants, seating that’s actually comfortable. They used to be a lot more like hospitals, just an unpleasant chunk of the world to deal with.

The airport always has the hottest women. That’s why I love airport waiting.

The WORST part of waiting around in an airport is having to listen to CNN blaring at you from tvs every 10 feet from you no matter where you go..

And.... ever notice that they give the job of announcing stuff to folks for whom English is NOT their first language???

“I like to go to the dentist.”...

Me too, and sitting around waiting to see the doctor is just the best. And give me a long line at the Motor Vehicle Registration Office any day of the week.

All that goes through my mind in the airport is the mathematics of figuring how long it would have taken me to drive given airport wait, flight time and ground transport.

[Olog-hai]

Dunno. I kinda miss the open-air observation decks. And the food in the restaurants is still overpriced. At least the older configuration airports, you could get through them quicker.

[right way right]

I like going to the doctor to I arrive 10 minutes before my appointment and sit an hour in the waiting room then another 1/2 hour in the examination room.
I steal magazines and tougue suppressors.

[Olog-hai]

PHL is a mess, I agree. Not even a particularly anachronistic one.

[utahagen]

Feel the same way!

[mrmeyer]

I think people would have less stress in their lives if they did not rush to and fro.

Agree completely. A good amount of stress is self inflicted, especially for those that worry about things they have no control over.

[PROCON]

Haven't been in an airport since July 2001.

What have I missed? (Rhetorical question)

As long as the bars are open, I’m fine.
