10 Airport Struggles Travelers Know Too Well

10 Airport Struggles Travelers Know Too Well

As a frequent flyer, I cant tell you that there are still many too many struggles travelers experience every time they go to the airport. Here's a fantastic list of my favorites.

1. Trying to calmly go through TSA.

I'm all about security for safety purposes, but come on now. They throw your stuff around, take an unnecessarily long amount of time to look at your undies, and occasionally feel you up if the time is right.

2. Parking

Having someone take you to the airport is a blessing in disguise because I'm lucky if I remember where I put my car keys in my suitcase, much less where I actually parked.

3. Fitting your luggage into a tiny restroom stall.

It's like trying to fit together two puzzles pieces that just don't match up.

4. Terminals

Needless to say, multiple terminals, gates and ways to get to these places is enough to stress me out for the rest of my trip.

6. Fighting your way through baggage claim.

Baggage claim is basically like going to Victoria's Secret when they're having a magical underwear deal.

6. Flying with babies/small children.

I don't feel like an explanation of this one is really necessary.

7. Never finding a power outlet.

Or when you do find one, but of course it doesn't work for some reason, or it's under some random person's chair.

8. When the restrooms/food court are like a mile away from your gate.

You just want Starbucks, but by the time you make it back, your flight could already be halfway to our destination without you.

9. Lining up by number and someone with a higher number tries to cut you in line.

No, you will not take my window seat. Now get in the back.

10. Limited food options.

When you just want Chipotle, but McDonald's will just have to do.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
