Bored at the airport? Here are some suggestions

You arrive two hours before your flight, only to find out it’s been delayed. Or you just arrived extra early to the airport, so you had enough time to check in, go through security and now have a few hours before boarding. We’ve all been there. You’re stuck at the terminal with nothing to do, stale air, and overpriced snacks. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here are some smart, fun, and even productive ways to turn airport boredom into an opportunity. So, what to do when you're bored at the airport?

1. TAKE A WALK & TREAT YOURSELF

Stretch your legs, explore different terminals, or go on a mission to find the best coffee. Not only will it pass time, but it’ll also help your body before sitting on a flight for hours.

Meanwhile, you can check out the duty-free shops or treat yourself with a mini spa before your flight. Many airports now offer massage chairs, quick facials, or even yoga rooms. Here are five surprising facts about airports that you probably didn’t know!

2. DOWNLOAD PODCASTS & CATCH UP

Make the most of free Wi-Fi and download podcasts, playlists, movies, or e-books. Use the downtime to message that friend you’ve been meaning to check in with, respond to emails, or update your travel journal.

We also recommend reading - you can choose light-style magazines or an interesting book. Time will fly by as you immerse yourself in the story.

3. LOOK AROUND & PLAY A GAME

Airports are amazing for people watching. Challenge yourself to make up stories for fellow travellers. You can also start a conversation. You never know what kind of interesting stories (or travel tips) travellers might share.

You can also try mobile games, puzzles, or brain teasers. If you are traveling with friends, you can turn it into a competition: who can spot the most interesting travel outfit, or guess the most flight destinations from a departures board?
