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.
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 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.
Feel the same way!
What have I missed? (Rhetorical question)
As long as the bars are open, I’m fine.
I hate waiting in airports. I have a seven-hour layover in an airport which is not particularly nice tonight...
It’ OK if your airport is a major hub. But if it’s a regional spoke airport like mine (SYR) it gets old very fast. Plus CNN is hard to escape.
Not me, I hate to fly or sit around an airport. People watching is good but that is about it!
I know there are lots of places overseas that would require a plane ride but I have been there done that!
I want to drive my Tahoe if I am traveling and we have driven all over the US, most of Mexico and Canada. I love watching the scenery change!
I would rather have a simultaneous root canal and IRS audit than fly. And I say that with some authority.
Finally folks like me...LOL..Now retired since May and my final month spent in China I’ve had the opportunity to people watch from many locations all over the Far East, India, S. Africa...not to mention the USA, Canada etc. I love airports...though some less than others especially in remote areas of the Asian countries. Inchon is by far my favorite.
I also like to arrive much too.early for my flights. Do not mind sitting and reading at all, also like to people watch. My wife? If it was up to her, she would arrive 30 minutes early.
