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!

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;)

$10 can go a long way with the right cleaning lady.

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

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...

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 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
I had something similar (only about 5 hours) and i bought a magazine and some peanuts. read the magazine about 4 times though

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.

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? :)

if you like planes you can watch them take off and land

by mhsmokefan on December 13th, 2008
You could steal someone's credit card and go to the bar, you could sleep or just ahead and slit your wrist now because your flight is going to be delayed. Better yet, go to the bar and look pitiful, maybe someone will have pity on you.

Buy a small tube of superglue and make sure to get a quarter back with your change. Superglue the quarter to the floor in front of a vending machine and pull up a seat. Hilarity will ensue and keep you plenty entertained for the two hours. :)
by NeverWas on December 10th, 2008
Buy one beer, and take a long time to drink it. Lighting up a cigarette every quarter helps kill time. The latter part also facilitates interesting people watching.

Take the advice of comedian Dane Cook.
Walk up to somebody that is waiting to get on a flight. Look at them with a worried expression on your face then say "Don't get on the flight"
Then just walk away

Buy a bag of chips and count the number of chews it takes to eat them all - record the number, then buy another bag and do the same and compare...lol.

..buy yourself a 6 dollar romance book..and use the rest to buy a cup of cappucino..have a seat and enjoy
by Scrappy on September 21st, 2008
I always go and buy me a puzzle book (I usually take one..cheaper at Wal mart). I get caught up in that for hours and it's cheap. If you buy something to drink, make sure it's in a bottle so you can fill it up with water in the sink/fountain and not have to buy but 1 bottle that way. (saves $). books to read keep entertained. Some places have programs that you can buy the book, read it, take it back and get your money back or exchange it for another one.
by RainbowWishes on September 21st, 2008
People watch, and make up stories about where people are going and why.
by hempstee on July 30th, 2008
That's when I catch up on my trashy tabloids! I agree that you should always bring a book with you to the airport though, no excuses. I like to switch off, so I can expand my mind a bit with a book and then go back to the brain-heroin for a while. it's the perfect excuse for reading them, though!

lol. It's all about working the system, isn't it?
by Brand Y on March 7th, 2008
Ayuh. I mean, I felt like announcing my method to the entire queue in Manchester airport when I refused to pay 2.69 GBP for a regular biro. So I found a puzzle book for like 1.95. My smartness overwhelms me sometimes.
