You can never have too much time to kill in an airport...

I don’t quite know what’s worse; being stuck at Charles De Gaulle airport for 3 days, or enduring the Tesco queue, which could only be described as some ordeal I no longer experienced 30 minutes ago. It must be the latter. Yes, definitely the latter. You see those Tesco aisles are so terribly depressing, with everyone having a face like you’ve just told them their dog died. Of course its not like you can leave either; what would you do without getting your food to fill your ever so ravenous face. 

Being stranded in an airport isn't so bad you know. There's plenty of ways to pass the time, i'm sure of it. From queuing at the desk for a good 11 hours, to walking round every last metre of the airport to see its full entirety.

You could pass a few minutes by trying to angle your bags so they are comfy enough to sit and sleep on. Or you could go to the toilet, even if you don't need it and have no intention on actually using it. You could visit the airport gift shops, every one of them, for the 957th time and still not buy anything but sweets to keep you remotely happy for the next 5 minutes.

You can talk to fellow stranded passengers and keep a good flow of the incorrect information you've all been given. You can keep saying you’ll never fly with the airline again, even though you probably will, and they know it too. You could go find a bar and use the remainder of your holiday money to go get pissed. Possibly take pictures of yourself, even those dog rough ones. Theres also time to look at everyone who passes you by questioning what job they do, and not knowing the answer so you decide whether you get it right or not.

You could also spend a good deal of time fantasising about putting anyone who works for the airline through some sort of pain; the people who have previously worked for them, or ever will work for them. Especially some woman who tells you you won't be getting back before Christmas Day, all in all because it's “not her problem.” Having to then laugh about it, because otherwise that fantasy, will no longer be a fantasy.

There are so many ways to kill time in an airport, its impossible to fit them all in. So it can't be that bad can it?
