Frequently, we find ourselves caught up in a situation where we have nothing to do but to wait for something to happen. A delayed flight is a very common example. While airports offer lots of eateries and shops, that might not be enough for a frequent flyer.
Do not forget to bring a book or magazine is the most common advice. That might not work for tired passengers, or those accompanied by someone else. The flight search engine Travelocity has mentioned backgammon as a good way to keep yourself entertained.
Since most airports offer Wi-Fi, playing online –on a laptop or PDA- is a fair deal. At the same time, airport stores offer pocket – sized versions of the game, perfect to share with those traveling with you. Playing a game will keep you entertained and busy, and time will go faster.
Other recommendations include writing a letter –with pen and paper-, organizing your wallet, cleaning up contact lists and practicing breathing. All activities will keep you busy and relaxed, avoiding stress. Making good use of downtime is always rewarding.
