6. What If You’re Not Alone?

Well, this is probably the easiest one, because apart from all the other options, you could spend some time talking, playing cards or just refining the plans for the trip ahead of you. You even have someone to look after your bags if you need to use the toilet!

Now, if this flight is not a connection, then you have even more possibilities, as you won’t be stuck in an airport and have the whole day to explore a new city. You will just need to sort out some logistics — where to keep your luggage and find the correct bus/train schedule so you can come back in time!

And there you have it: A selection of activities for you to do while spending your time at the airport. See, that delay might not be so grim after all. You could end up becoming a travel writer or finding your soulmate when you approach that group of travelers!
