Six-hour delays and ten-hour layovers are far from unheard of. Here\u2019s how to survive layover downtime.<\/p>\n<p>A big part of how a long airport wait feels depends on whether it\u2019s planned or unplanned. If you have a planned long layover, it\u2019s at least something you picked. On the other hand, if your airline just springs a long delay on you, it\u2019s a pain in the ass and totally messes up your day. The strategy to deal with them, however, is the same\u2014be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Long waits are just part of air <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>. If you fly an itinerary with a connecting flight, there\u2019s a chance the timetable will fall apart. Hell, if you fly an itinerary with a direct flight it could still all go wrong with weather delaying your flight or forcing you to land halfway to your destination. You should always have a plan for what you\u2019ll do if you get stuck.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, if you know you have a long layover, you should have a plan,too. So, let\u2019s plan it out now before it h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens and you\u2019ll be ready to cruise through your layover in comfort.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Option_Leave_the_Airport\"><\/span>The Best Option: Leave the Airport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re flying through a major city and your layover is long enough, go back through security, leave the airport, and head off to do some sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p>How long you\u2019ll need for this depends. San Francisco and New York are less than 90 minutes by public transit from their main airports, so if you have an eight-hour layover, it\u2019s probably worth it. On the other hand, there\u2019s not a lot to do around LAX and Los Angeles is so sprawling, you\u2019d probably need to have twelve hours to kill for leaving the airport to be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, this option is really only good when you\u2019ve got a planned layover. Things can change quickly with delayed flights, so I really don\u2019t recommend skipping off into town then. If the long projected delay becomes a miraculous \u201cGreat <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, everybody! A standby plane has arrived and we\u2019re leaving within the hour!\u201d moment and you\u2019re not at the airport, you\u2019ll be stuck in town a whole lot longer than you intended.<\/p>\n<p>The leave-the-airport-option also really benefits from tools that aid you in a speedy return, by the way. If you haven\u2019t signed up for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/3528\/speed-up-your-airport-experience-with-tsa-precheck-and-related-services\/\">TSA PreCheck or a similar service yet, then there\u2019s no time like the present. You\u2019ll be more comfortable leaving if you know you can get through security faster when you return.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_You_Can_Get_Into_a_Lounge_Do\"><\/span>If You Can Get Into a Lounge, Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><span style=\"display: block; position: relative; z-index: 100; width: 44px; height: 44px; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65); float: right; margin-bottom: -44px;\"><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2F9161%2Fhow-to-survive-a-long-airport-layover%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2Fp%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F08%2F6b7cf517.jpg&amp;description=How+to+Survive+a+Long+Airport+Layover\" aria-label=\"Pin this on Pinterest\"><br \/>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M15.164 18.532c-.011.039-.022.072-.03.106-.503 1.97-.56 2.408-1.076 3.322-.246.436-.524.847-.832 1.242-.034.044-.067.102-.136.088-.076-.016-.082-.084-.09-.145-.083-.599-.128-1.2-.108-1.803.026-.788.123-1.058 1.139-5.327a.295.295 0 0 0-.024-.178c-.244-.656-.291-1.32-.079-1.995.459-1.456 2.11-1.567 2.398-.366.178.743-.292 1.716-.653 3.152-.299 1.186 1.097 2.03 2.29 1.163 1.1-.798 1.527-2.71 1.446-4.067-.16-2.703-3.125-3.287-5.005-2.417-2.157.997-2.647 3.67-1.673 4.891.123.156.219.25.177.408-.062.245-.117.49-.185.734-.05.182-.202.247-.385.173a2.212 2.212 0 0 1-.9-.675c-.827-1.024-1.064-3.049.03-4.763 1.21-1.9 3.463-2.668 5.52-2.435 2.457.28 4.01 1.958 4.3 3.863.133.867.038 3.006-1.18 4.518-1.402 1.737-3.672 1.852-4.72.786-.08-.082-.145-.178-.224-.275\" fill=\"#FFF\"\/><\/g><\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88891 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/6b7cf517.jpg\" alt=\"A well appointed airport lounge with comfortable seating and a fireplace.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Delta Airlines\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Delta Sky Club at Salt Lake City International Airport. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Delta Airlines<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Assuming you can\u2019t leave the airport, the best thing to do is set yourself up in a lounge. There are normally comfy seats, showers, and free food and drink. It\u2019s the best place to be when you\u2019ve got to wait around an airport.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re flying business class, things are sorted. You almost certainly have lounge access. If you\u2019re not, things are a little trickier, but all is not lost:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check to see whether your credit card offers access to any lounges in the airport. Top-tier airline cards like the American Express Delta Skymiles Reserve card give you, naturally, access to Delta Skyclubs.<\/li>\n<li>Use <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loungebuddy.com\">LoungeBuddy<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prioritypass.com\">PriorityPass<\/a> to see if there are any lounges you can pay into.<\/li>\n<li>Check if your credit card offers vouchers or credits for the aforementioned services. The classic American Express Green Card doesn\u2019t give you direct access to specific airline lounges but, as of this writing, you do get up to $100 worth of credits per year for LoungBuddy access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More and more airports are starting to add non-airline-specific lounges so don\u2019t just assume that there isn\u2019t one. Check the airport website with your phone or ask an airport employee where the lounges are.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Somewhere_Comfy_to_Set_Up_Camp\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Find Somewhere Comfy to Set Up Camp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you can\u2019t get into a lounge, the next best option is to find somewhere comfy to hole up. The website <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepinginairports.net\">Sleeping In Airports<\/a> offers guides on the best places in most major airports to settle in for a few hours. Whether you actually have a nap or just lounge about is up to you.<\/p>\n<p>My personal preference is to wander the whole airport to see what\u2019s around (after all, I\u2019ve time to spare) and then stake out a good table in a caf\u00e9 or bar. I like something with a comfy seat, a power socket, and ready access to alcohol. A corner booth in a bar is ideal.<\/p>\n<p>One other option worth noting is the sleep capsules that are starting to appear in some airports\u2014mainly in Asia. These capsules charge a fee per hour, but you then have a tiny private space to lie down and relax. They\u2019re normally not cheap, but they might be worth it if your delay takes you into the night\u2014or you want to say you did it so you can tell the story.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in the United States, you\u2019re unlikely to find them outside of the biggest airports but there are some at\u00a0Hartsfield\u2013Jackson Atlanta International Airport,\u00a0Dallas\/Fort Worth International Airport,\u00a0John F. Kennedy International Airport, and similarly sized airports. Some of the \u201cpods\u201d are actually much more spacious, like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/minutesuites.com\/locations\/atl-hartsfield-jackson-airport-concourse-b-atl-b\/\">Minute Suites at the Atlanta International Airport<\/a>. Whatever the company, check out their website before you pay. Many of them have a first-time-user discount code that will save you a chunk of change.<\/p>\n<p>Be advised that there typically aren\u2019t many pods even at these airports. If your packed flight just got delayed for hours and you really want to squeeze in a pod-nap, you\u2019ll want to locate and pay for your pod quickly.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bring_Stuff_to_Do\"><\/span>Bring Stuff to Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019re settled in, it\u2019s time to keep boredom at bay. When you travel, you should always have a supply of things to do that will keep you occupied, regardless of power or internet access. It\u2019s hard to beat a good book or magazine as an everything\u2019s-gone-wrong backup. You can also buy them at the airport if you really need to.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, however, you should at least have access to a plug so you can charge your gadgets. A tablet loaded up with movies and games is great for all ages.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re traveling with other people, don\u2019t overlook the utility of old-school entertainment options. You can play all sorts of games with a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/56990\/upgrade-your-next-game-night-with-these-stunning-playing-cards\/\">deck of cards and there are some really cool travel-size board games like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Smart-Zone-Games-Hive-Pocket\/dp\/B0079L0EKY\/?tag=lifesavvysite-20\">this pocket-version of the popular game Hive<\/a>. Time will pass much quicker if everyone is involved in a game and not just clock-watching.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, though, I prefer to use the time I have in the airport, rather than just look for ways to distract myself. I like to pick a project that I haven\u2019t had time to do yet, whether it\u2019s photos that need editing or an essay I want to write, and then use my layovers to get it done\u2014or as much of it done as possible. Because the time would otherwise be wasted, I don\u2019t have to justify not doing actual work and can focus on a personal project or two.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Think_Carefully_About_Food\"><\/span>Think Carefully About Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><span style=\"display: block; position: relative; z-index: 100; width: 44px; height: 44px; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65); float: right; margin-bottom: -44px;\"><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2F9161%2Fhow-to-survive-a-long-airport-layover%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2Fp%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F08%2F9d0d1f90.jpg&amp;description=How+to+Survive+a+Long+Airport+Layover\" aria-label=\"Pin this on Pinterest\"><br \/>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M15.164 18.532c-.011.039-.022.072-.03.106-.503 1.97-.56 2.408-1.076 3.322-.246.436-.524.847-.832 1.242-.034.044-.067.102-.136.088-.076-.016-.082-.084-.09-.145-.083-.599-.128-1.2-.108-1.803.026-.788.123-1.058 1.139-5.327a.295.295 0 0 0-.024-.178c-.244-.656-.291-1.32-.079-1.995.459-1.456 2.11-1.567 2.398-.366.178.743-.292 1.716-.653 3.152-.299 1.186 1.097 2.03 2.29 1.163 1.1-.798 1.527-2.71 1.446-4.067-.16-2.703-3.125-3.287-5.005-2.417-2.157.997-2.647 3.67-1.673 4.891.123.156.219.25.177.408-.062.245-.117.49-.185.734-.05.182-.202.247-.385.173a2.212 2.212 0 0 1-.9-.675c-.827-1.024-1.064-3.049.03-4.763 1.21-1.9 3.463-2.668 5.52-2.435 2.457.28 4.01 1.958 4.3 3.863.133.867.038 3.006-1.18 4.518-1.402 1.737-3.672 1.852-4.72.786-.08-.082-.145-.178-.224-.275\" fill=\"#FFF\"\/><\/g><\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88906 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/9d0d1f90.jpg\" alt=\"A man paying for his meal at an airport caf\u00e9. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/dubai-uae-march-10-2015-dxb-278208944\" data-credittext=\"Sorbis\/Shutterstock.com\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/dubai-uae-march-10-2015-dxb-278208944\">Sorbis\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges with long layovers is staying well-fed without breaking the bank. It\u2019s way too easy to snack on expensive fast food that just leaves you feeling ill. A lot of people think it\u2019s air travel itself that throws them off and makes them feel cruddy. While that might well play a part, sustaining yourself on the Cinnabon menu is probably the bigger culprit.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to be stuck there for a while (followed by a however-many-hours flight) you need to make sure you eat decent meals. If you\u2019re in a lounge, the free food there is normally serviceable and, well, free. Load up on whatever they\u2019ve got, and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not in a lounge or you want something more substantial, then I suggest scoping the whole place out and finding somewhere that looks like it does a decent meal. Don\u2019t just hit up the first pizza place you see. You\u2019d be better off with a premade sandwich from a caf\u00e9 or finding a sit-down restaurant somewhere in the airport that serves a wider range of fresh foods.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you\u2019ve got the forethought, pack your own food.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_Up_to_Date_on_Your_Flight\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Keep Up to Date on Your Flight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re in the airport not to have fun, but to catch a flight. Don\u2019t forget that, especially if you\u2019re waiting on a delayed flight rather than on a planned layover. Things can change quickly and if you miss your plane, you\u2019re going to be stuck around for even longer. Or, on the upside, you might get a voucher to use for food if you\u2019re stuck for long enough.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever you set up camp, make sure you have a way to keep up to date on what\u2019s happening with your flight. Even a gate change can be a problem if you cut things too fine.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest way to do it is just set up somewhere you can see the airport information boards. That way, you can just glance up a few times an hour and keep on top of things.<\/p>\n<p>The other good option is to monitor things online. Most airports have a website that shows live departure information.
