Hit the bars! That's what I done on my flight layovers.
I usually:
Read
Connect to SW
People-watch
Find a bar in the terminal
Talk on your cell phone
Work and/or sleep.
SW, MySpace, read, eat, and alcohol would be a last resort.
Read, lay my stuff out in the terminal and take a nap (I always travel with ear plugs and a face mask), go eat at whatever chili's/Texas Roadhouse the airport has, stretch.
Read and daydream. Sometimes people watch. I'm to nervous on planes to hit the bar. I'd end up getting trashed and probably freaking out during the flight.
Story of my life lol.
I just find a corner with a plug and plug in my laptop and go online. If the hotspot is down(which seems to be the story in Calgary lately) I will read a book and wander around the airport and then hit up whatever crap food I can find.
Hit the bars and connect to SW.
I keep a copy of Civ IV: Beyond the Sword on my laptop just for these occasions.
4-hour delay, 24-hour delay...doesn't matter in Civ IV.

1. make the airline give me food vouchers
2. eat
3. if sleepy, take a nap
4. if not, read
5. take a short break for interwebbing. If internet is free, long break.

Feature costumes for sale!
Eat if hungry, find a bar and order a glass of wine, read a book or hop online if it's free, maybe chat up a stranger if I'm feeling social, or write.
Buy overpriced magazines and read (Bon Appetite, Self, Food+Wine)
Wonder if I have enough time to leave, audition, work at a club and come back. Every time I get stuck in an airport its in Reno and I just stare at all the club advertisements wondering.





whoa whoa. a bar. duh. thats an easy one for you!![]()
but boo to your delay![]()
been there done that. i hit up the sushi bar then the bar. then i wandered around and finally got a magazine.
Sw and talk on the phone. Maybe download a movie rental from iTunes or something. Possibly take nap on the floor near a sunny window.
Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!




I try and find someone to chat with, same as the plane. If I'm hungry I go eat. If neither are available I look for a bar. If all three are unavailable I watch people.
Oh, this is all after I've "yelled" at someone (and probably apologized) for the fact that theres a 4 hour delay...
See..I cant do that. Since I always have a carry on, laptop and my purse with me at least. When I had an EIGHT hour wait for my flight in Pheonix, my agent and the two other girls with us all slept, but me? Nope. Too paranoid my shit will get stolen.SO I was a zombie when I got home(this was after a 5 hour drive to Pheonix from LA, 8 hours in the airport then the flight from Pheonix to Housten,hour layover in TX, then home to Ft Laud.) I WISH I couldve slept. I envy those who can




Read, work, listen to the iPod. Also, sometimes just go for a walk and window shop and people watch.
It is also a good time to catch up on work related phone calls and emails.

^^^ I do that too. I use my backpack for a pillow, and arrange it so no one can reach the zipper without waking me up. If I can't fit my purse in the backpack, I lie on top of it.




If I'm by myself I usually just walk around and people watch for a little while and then buy magazines and sit in the terminal and read them.
Yep. I'm boring.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.





If I had a laptop, which I don't, and I had it with me, which I would if I had one, I'd read some of my eBooks, restructure my personal files, refine a few application options, delete some old files, and then, if plugged in, run a disk scan and defrag my HD. That last part would be while I'm eating something, and in 4 hours I would get hungry. I'd look at the pretty women and try to imagine what they'd be like in bed. Or remember what it was like the last time I was in having sex. I'd get up and walk a bit, since I'm gonna be sitting on a plane for awhile later. If I had a cellphone, I might call up a friend for a few mins, unless it's free-time, then it'd be longer. For me 4 hours goes by in a flash.

I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.
Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.
NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
Newspapers from around the country tend to get abandoned in the terminal waiting rooms. If there is no newspaper lying around, I can always buy one at the newsstand. I like to see how different stories are slanted in different cities.
For instance, I remember reading the same story by the Associated Press. It was about some bill the Clinton administration was pushing. It passed the House and the
Senate by one vote each. Here in Ogden, UT, the headline was, "Clinton barely able to get bill passed." In Denver, it was "Clinton beats Congress in a tough one."
