7 Things to Do When Stuck at the Airport
Cambria Jones

Are you bored out of your mind because your flight got delayed? Have you been sitting in the airport for hours and have no idea what to do? Did the airport only provide 30 minutes of free wifi and you’ve been sitting there for 3 hours? If so, here are some ideas to keep you entertained while you wait.

1. Eat food. Food is always a good idea. Anywhere. Anytime.

2. People watch. What are those people eating over there? Where can I get some of that ice cream? Is that a dog?? Nope, it's a tiny toddler in a furry coat. What language are those people speaking? It's all Greek to me.

3. Drink water. Then watch the TV screens about conserving water because of the drought and stop drinking water. (LAX cough, cough) But really, remember to drink water.

4. Make friends. Were you delayed too? Was your flight changed too? Okay, now we're officially best friends.

5. Wander around. Try to discover the exciting things the airport has to offer.

6. Write a postcard. Trust me, it can be done. I’ve done it. One of the stores will sell a postcard and you’ll have to visit another store to buy a stamp and then you’ll have to search for a mailbox but it’s honestly worth it. And after that much time you could even mail it home to yourself so you’ll have a nice postcard waiting for you when you get home.

7. Understand that it is what it is. You'll eventually arrive at your destination and you'll still have a good time and now you'll always have stories to tell. Remember that time when we got stuck at the airport…
