10 ways to stay entertained at the airport
There are so many things to keep yourself occupied at the airport, all you have to have is some imagination. Here is our micro guide on 10 ways to stay entertained at the airport.
- Get good food. You’re definitely going to get hungry if you have to wait in an airport for an extended period of time so you might as well explore and find a good place to eat. If there are other terminals, they most times have other selections of meals as well.. just do not wander to far and miss your flight!
- People Watch. There are always tons of people with you at the airport. Some may be in the same situation that you are, and some might be rushing to make it to their gate on time to get to their destination. Something that is pretty much always fun in any situation is people watching. One game I like to play with a travel buddy is to make up stories about other people we see, who are they, where are the going and why!
- Shop. You can shop at any one of the numerous stores that they have in an airport, you can fund just about anything that you need from clothes to toiletries to souvenirs from yourself or some friends. If you are flying international, you have the duty free shop as well! This is a great place to pick up some fantastic treats at a lower cost them state side!
- Watch a Movie. Another great way to pass the time is to watch a movie or two.
- Listen to music. Music is a great way to pass the time in any situation; that includes sitting in the airport.
- Sleep. What better way to catch up on all that lost sleep than to sleep in the airport while waiting for that flight that will eventually bring you to your intended destination. Pro tip, bring one of them travel pillows. They will prove to be your best friend at nap time!
- Have a Conversation. Most friendships started as a conversation between strangers in a public space like at the airport, so try to engage in one.
- Learn a new language: Whether you’re going to Germany, France, or Hong Kong, it can’t hurt to become a bit more familiar with the native language of your destination.
- Start a travel journal: Whether you’re traveling a few states away or to an entirely different country, keeping a travel journal can allow you to express your feelings and commit cherished experiences to memory forever.
- Snap the sights. This is the perfect way to while away the time, as you get the perfect composition and exposure. 😀
