For all those who travel quite often to different parts of the world, airports are busy places, filled with rush, where everyone is in a hurry so that they do not miss their flight. But sometimes, situations arise when the very same airport environment becomes dull and stagnant, as it puts you in a condition where you have to sit and wait. These situations may arise due to a delay in a flight or a long airport-restricted interval in an indirect flight.

Such situations become really annoying, especially for those who are not in a habit of waiting and sitting quietly at a place. But, there are various activities which can help one kill this long and boring period and make you feel as if hours are passed like minutes.

The first activity that comes to mind, when sitting idle on an airport and waiting for your flight announcement is watching people. This game can be played in a lot of ways, and the limits depend on how much you think and imagine creatively and outside the box. For example, among the people sitting near you, you can examine some of them and make a list of top five well-dressed people, or worst dressed, if you are in a humorous mood.

Another healthy activity that you can perform in order to pass the waiting time on the airport is through socializing with people. Since it is an airport, you will find people from around the world. Talking to them will not only improve your confidence level but would also broaden your knowledge domain about various subjects.
