Buy a puzzle book (that comes with a free pen). Pens in airports (certainly in England) tend to be so expensive that it's cheaper to buy a puzzle book with a free pen anyway!
by Sodapop on July 16th, 2008
Im really cheap so i would say take out the 10 dollars and play with it for 2 hours
by YellowRatBASTARD on March 13th, 2008
If you even think the word "kill" in an airport, you will probably be detected by some sensor, tackled to the floor by Security, and then tied to a chair and interrogated ruthlessly for hours by Air Marshal staff. I'd say go to the bar and have half a drink, since that's all you're gonna get for $10 in an airport. Sip slowly and try not to think any bad words;)

by Egico is now Egioz on March 3rd, 2008
I would buy a book, a cup of coffee and a snickers bar.

$10 can go a long way with the right cleaning lady.
by Gabstar on March 3rd, 2008
go and watch the planes take off and land! it's so fun! :) cost: $0, unless you wanna buy a drink to enjoy the show with! :)
by Jennie thanks all of you ABers on March 3rd, 2008
I buy a Crossword Book and maybe a Snack and sit down and just relax. Then if i get more bored i wander off to see what the airport has to show lol
by Kris Kringle on July 15th, 2008
I would buy try to find a Sudoku and solve it (the hardest level).
by jemroid on July 15th, 2008
stand in the book shop, read all their magazines and walk away with my 10 bux still in my pocket :)
by THE TRAVEL SLUT on July 15th, 2008
Read $10 worth of magazines and then donate them to someone
Go to an internet kiosk
Save it until you get to your destination
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on March 13th, 2008
I buy a magazine, a bottle of water, and I find a nice quiet place and read the mag.
by Lady Alathia of Vulcan on March 13th, 2008
I bring my laptop, my husband brings an acoustic guitar.
by shammers still slogging along on March 3rd, 2008
I'm assuming you have your laptop . . . I certainly spend more than 2 hours at a time on AB.
by miteb on March 3rd, 2008
Hopefully you will have brought your IPod and a good book. Find a quiet pub (difficult in airports), nurse a glass of wine or a beer for awhile, then go to your gate and watch the people. A 2 hour layover is a piece of cake...
by Anonymous on March 3rd, 2008
Its called $1 menu! and thats why i am 400 pounds. lol, jk
by SarahK on March 3rd, 2008
I've managed to spend time listening to books on tape or podcasts I'd downloaded or reading books I'd brought along.
I've also yaked on my mobile phone to burn time. I tend to go to a fairly secluded area to talk, though, because I don't wish to disturb other people. (This is when roll-over minutes come in handy!)
Perhaps you could write a poem or song lyrics on a napkin (if you don't have any spare paper).
If you have a laptop, you could play games.
I spent most of the time on one layover taking photos around the airport with my cameraphone. (There were some interesting signs in "Engrish"/broken English.)
by anonymous on March 3rd, 2008
I would all ready have an enticing book with me, and doubt I would spend the money on any overpriced airport food or drink, so I probably wouldn't spend a nickel of it. :)
by DiSTurBiA on March 3rd, 2008
find the cheapest source of beer, and fire up the ipod.
by technios on July 16th, 2008
get a couple of alcoholic drinks and sleep on the plane
by Needs some coffee on July 16th, 2008
Read a book.
by Mrs-Flapjack-Of-Stormalong on July 15th, 2008
buy like 5 mags and just skim through them and read just a little. Then, on your flight you'll still have something to do!
by altgirl84 on July 14th, 2008
I always bring my ipod or discman with me. Maybe a book. I usually buy 1 or 2 magazines at the airport when I'm there too. I like crosswords too. If I have my laptop and there's wifi then there ya go, time will fly lol. I might play a game on my phone too.
by xena-angel on July 14th, 2008
I bring my own magazine, book, or video game. That gives me something to do on the plane and during the layover. If the airport is big enough window shopping and a cold drink would work. Gives me some exercise from sitting on the plane. Sometime I write. I bring a notebook and pen and just write.
by Lady Lavender on July 14th, 2008
I would make sure I had a book to read.
by angel_of_mercy on March 13th, 2008
take some good music, a book, maybe a puzzle book, play games on your phone, get food and drink.
by Doggie S on March 3rd, 2008
I usually just take a nap. No money needed there ;)
by loveschimps on March 3rd, 2008
I would go buy a book or magazine, read it and if all else fails watch the people. :)
by Nada Normal on March 3rd, 2008
get a roll of coins, flip them one at a time out onto the floor & watch people fight over them - this can go on for hours
by Olero on March 3rd, 2008

Whatever you do, don't go into the bathroom stall in the mens room and tap the foot of the person in the stall next to you. You might find another politician.
by dumdum on February 16th, 2009
If your first flight is late you may not have two hours. If your connection is on the the other end of the airport you may have just used half of that. If you do not have a laptop and some airports have free internet I would get a pop, coffee, or beer and a newspaper or read the book I brought alone to read in flight.
by Esteban-- Smartest Pumpkin on February 16th, 2009
buy 100 pieces of 'Double Bubble' chewing gum. Make 50 bubble gum sculptures and sell them for $5 each.
by Michellek518 on November 20th, 2008
2 hours? Is that it? I've spent 36 hours in an airport before...fun stuff. :)
BUT...
One thing my friend and I did once which kept us laughing for 2 hours straight was people watch, but improved..and here's how. Watch, say, two people conversing and make up their conversation back and forth. Sounds silly, but it can be extremely humorous. Or making up names for people...
Okay...I've spent a LOT of time in airports, okay? :)
by 34th st. on October 13th, 2008
grab a quick bloody mary, and read the local paper
by Anonymous on July 16th, 2008
