Lay overs at airports sucks,bot they could be kind of fun,meet people,or people wacth. How long had you wait at airport before the plane arrive? 3 hours for me.

I don't mind them. The longest layover I had was in London for 3 hours, but I enjoyed it because I've never been to England before. Yea, not the best way to really get a taste of "British" culture, but it was better than nothing.

When people ask me if I've ever been to california, I say yes, but I don't mention that it was for only 3 hours while I waited for a flight to Vegas.
If you're ever out there, the McDonald's at LAX is fantastic.

6 hours was the longest layover I've ever had.

dawsongirl · 07-26-2005, 05:53 PM

I dunno...a couple hours? Last one I remember was the Denver airport. I was told not to eat the nachos.

swedeace · 07-26-2005, 08:05 PM

Five hours in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Really short layovers kind of suck. I think I had a 30 minute layover in Denver, which is the biggest airport in the U.S. I had to run like hell to get to my new plane.

Haha! I hear ya!

I was flying home from London, England and had to go through customs at Detroit Metro in Detroit, MI. We were flying out to Minneapolis and the stupid pilot in Detroit insisted the passengers wait 20 more minutes before taking off for the rest of the passengers to board. So when that dumbass finally landed the plane in Minneapolis, we only had 15 minutes left of our layover there. You better believe all of us ran like ****ing hell to get to our gate. We just BARELY made it there in time. Wouldn't have happened if we had actually left Detroit ON TIME!

Needless to say, I was NOT a happy camper. I traveled for a total of about 15 hours that day and all I wanted to do was go home to my bed.

I had the same thing happen to me at the Houston International Airport last summer. Getting off the international plane, going through customs (because we had just come from Amsterdam) and then running through many halls (felt like it!) to catch the last plane really had my adrenaline going. I was dead tired but my mom had to haul so quickly. It was night time and we were NOT in the mood to wait for another plane. Oy... it was rough... I know the feeling...

15 minutes? Wow, I'd be doing a full sprint to my next plane! I figured I'd be faster than one of those little carts that they drive around in the airport where a lucky select few get to ride, but about half way there, one goes flying by me with passengers from my first flight. Lucky bastids.

Hehe, it feels weird jumping on a plane all sweaty and out of breath. It's like something you'd see out of a movie.

I know those well! I figure I've been in the airport in Minneapolis at least 10-15 times now. I wanted to ride on one of the carts.

I know! It really is. I remember my mom and I sitting next to these people who were calmly sitting down. We were just fanning our sweaty selves, but the other people were probably thinking, "Peeuuu!!"
