I bring my lap top computer, books with me. I can watch some DVD or movies, or shopping on-line, etc. Or, I will write a letter or post card to my friends at the airport. If I am really bored, I will start a conversation with others and may be I will make some new friends.

I'd have left the airport and spent some time in the city. That's what I did during an 11 hr stopover in Chicago. Good pizza, there.

Been there, done that... If it's an international flight, it can get pretty monotonous, if they won't let you leave a certain area. I was stuck once in Taipei, Taiwan, for about ten hours. The airline said we wouldn't leave for at least eight hours. The airport people wouldn't let us out of the airport because (#1) we had to pay for a Taiwan visa and (#2) they said no one told them what time the plane was expected to leave. At least we had a whole airport. Now, when this happened in Honolulu, they wouldn't process our passports there, so we were stuck in a tiny room for all that time and they wouldn't allow us into the shopping area. This was long before cell phones... they had coin phones, but coming from Asia, no one had coins. And I seem to remember that you had to deposit a quarter, even to make a collect call.

Talk about bombs and terrorism. Airport authorities around the world take those things seriously. Even an innocent joke about them could result in fines and/or imprisonment.

Of course you never do the obvious and that is make jokes about the airline or terrorism. Also, don't drink heavily as your 1st chance to use the lavatory may be quite a while after boarding.

Well, if you are waiting on the TARMAC is it NOT ok to light up a cigarette! I found out the hard way..... They had delayed our flight for soooo long, and I wasnt thinking when I lit up a smoke just to get a few puffs before the flight. At the time, I honestly had no idea you couldnt smoke outside on the TARMAC. I figured we were outside so I just lit up. Well, I was detained by the TSA and eventually I was "de-planed". This was the last flight out to philly that night so they made me sleep in the ATL airport to catch a flight in the morning. I was 23 and pretty stupid. That's my only excuse ;)
