We all love traveling, but do we like waiting at the airport? Don’t think so! The best part about traveling is, well, traveling itself. The worst part about it though is waiting at the airport before you board onto your flight. Traveling alone is even worse as you don’t feel the passing of time when someone is travelling along with you. Travel gets more agonizing when the flight gets delayed and you are already at the airport.
Flight delays are surely an inconvenience, but you can utilize your time well too. Here are some great tips on how to pass time at the airport:

Explore the airport
Once you get to know that you have much time before you board onto the plane and after you are done cursing everyone possibly responsible for the delay, get up from your seat and start walking. Start walking towards the beginning of the airport and explore every corner of it. Visit the shops, the lounges, the pathways, restaurants and even restrooms. Airports are so big that you will easily be able to pass your time. It will also tire or exhaust you, you can then sleep peacefully in the plane.

Make use of the gadgets
Always carry your gadgets and laptop while traveling. When you are sitting doing nothing at the airport, open up your laptop and finish your work if you have some. You may want to clear your laptop or smartphone from the unwanted files or photos that you have been wanting to but didn’t get the time yet. Listen to music or download your favorite tv show or movie, using the airport’s free Wi-Fi and watch it.
