Exploring the options to kill time at the airport

We often travel and flying on a passenger plane is one of the most common and fastest way to do so. With increased air traffic and multiple connections, it is not uncommon to have a layover at the airport and the time seems to crawl and snail's pace in those situations. So let's look at some of the options which you can apply to kill your time while waiting for your flight inside the airport terminal.

1) SLEEP

Big airports often have lavish lounges which are ideal for napping. In case there isn't such lounge find yourself a cozy spot somewhere in the terminal and relax.


2) EAT

If you are not first class you would usually be starving waiting for your next connecting flight. So why not find a good restaurant in the airport and start munching. A TV screening a live football game would be an icing on the cake with your meal.



3) MOVIE

If you are travelling with a laptop or tablet it would be a good time to catch up on a movie while waiting for your plane to take off.


4) EXPLORE

It might be a good idea or walk around the terminal and explore the area. This will also be a good exercise for your numbing legs and aching back after a long flight.



5) SHOP

Most of the international airports have lots of stores which provide duty free goods. It is a great idea to buy gifts for your loved ones from a duty free shop as you are waiting to take off.



6) FLY-BY-MYSELF

If none of the things listed above can resolve your boredom problems and you are totally frustrated waiting for your flight just take the matters in your hands and be your own pilot, although borrowing a plane wouldn't be easy.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
