Top Things To Do At the Airport

 

Waiting at the airport doesn't have to be a bore. Whether you just got past security or are stuck during a layover, you can find plenty to do at the airport. Let's look at the top things you can do to pass the time while waiting to take off.

1. Call Someone

Do you have someone in your life that you haven't talked to in a while? It might be your best friend from college or your grandfather. Use the time you are waiting to make that phone call. It's something you both will enjoy.

2. Go Shopping

Shopping can take many forms in the airport. If you are traveling alone or with a friend, go walking around the shops in the airport. You will be surprised at some interesting things you find. Or, if you need to stay near the gate, grab your phone and go wild.

3. Catch Up on Your Favorite Shows

Almost every airport has free Wi-Fi someplace in the terminal. Find a comfy chair, pile your carry-ons at your feet, and binge watch your favorite shows. It's a perfect way to start, or end, a vacation.

4. Read a Book

Okay. This one might seem old-fashioned. However, it is still a great way to pass time while waiting on your flight. You can grab a book from home, buy one at the airport, or download a digital version online. Sit down and immerse yourself into the words. Plus, you can continue to read it on the Nashville airport shuttle, at home, or in your hotel room.

5. Take a Walk

Flying can be stressful on the human body. You are forced to sit for hours without much opportunity to move around or stretch. Walking before you get on the flight will help you endure the cramped conditions on board.

6. Get Something to Eat

Let's face it. Airplane food, these days, is almost nonexistent or totally inadequate. Grabbing something to eat at the terminal is one way to keep yourself nourished while traveling. You can find plenty of snacks or opt, at least in some larger airports, for a sit-down meal. 

7. Strike Up a Conversation

An airport terminal is a great place to meet new people. Start chatting with someone sitting nearby, if they seem open to it. If you see they are reading a book you've read before, or have been wanting to, you have a conversation opener.

8. Watch People

The airport is a meeting place for people from all walks of life. Take a few minutes to sit back and observe who is walking by or sitting close by. See how they are dressed and how they interact with others. You can also see what they are doing to pass the time and try it yourself.

These are just a few of the ways you can pass the time while waiting at the airport. If you need to get to or from the airport, call on the airport transportation Nashville businesses and residents rely on. Call Advent Transportation today for safe, reliable transportation.
