10 things I do in an international airport departure lounge

June 2, 2014 by Peter Fletcher

Peter Fletcher at Sydney Airport 2012

A little pensive before the long flight to Atlanta in 2012.

After being strip searched, x-rayed and ID checked, an international departure lounge is a place that demands patience and the ability to kill time. Here’s what I get up to in the hour or so pre-flight.

  1. Read a book.
  2. Have a nap. (I’m yet to miss a flight.)
  3. Play on Facebook and Twitter.
  4. Send some last minute emails.
  5. Change my voicemail greeting.
  6. Make up stories about others in the departure lounge.
  7. Add multiple filters to the one photo using different apps. This photo was edited en route to Atlanta in 2012. I was feeling pensive at the time as I was going on to do my first Tough Mudder in Ohio.
  8. Browse through the bookstore. Buy a book that looks great but I won’t end up reading.
  9. Grab a coffee.
  10. Write an idea in my notebook. For some reason I get super creative when I’m travelling.

How about you? How do you kill time in the departure lounge?
