Flying military booked commercial flights in 1994.

Monterey, CA --> San Francisco, CA
San Francisco, CA --> Atlanta, GA

Flew 11am flight to San Fran and I had to catch the flight to Atlanta by 1pm.

I rushed and hurried to find my gate number with no luck and I was starting to panic because I only had a short layover to get on the other flight...

Went to the customer service counter with my ticket and then realized that the Military booked me a 25 hour layover... my flight to Atlanta was 1pm THE NEXT DAY!

Had to stay in the USO and watch movies... bored out of my freaking mind!!

I once won just over $3k on three different slot machines at the airport in Vegas. Each hit was just under the taxable limit.

My future boss flew into the Providence, RI airport to meet/interview me in the airport.

The company was in Washington, DC

We had a few beers while eating lunch and he offered me the job as a network operations technician for a telecom company.

He then flew back to Washington, DC

It was my first job when I got out of the Navy.

Leaving Vegas after a bach trip. Lost my arse off on the tables all weekend. Had a delay due to mechanical issue, so we just continued party shenanigans for a few more hours and I ended up winning $1,200 of money back on an airport slot machine. About as good as it gets for me, and I fly a ton for work.

I don't really have any good stories, but I travel for work a bit and I'm one of those weird people that actually doesn't mind a layover.

It's a couple hours where I can drink and watch ESPN and screw around on my phone on the company's dime. What's there to dislike?

i watched the second half of Saints vs Vikings NFC Championship in a Chile's in the Atlanta Airport. Falcons fans everywhere it was beautiful. After the game we got to the terminal to head back to New Orleans and it was a party everyone was drinking and celebrating

Had a few hours to kill before a flight out of Denver a couple years back. Met Bret Hart at the Red Rocks Bar & Grill near security checkpoint. Super cool guy.

I love layovers. The longer the better.

Get to get drunk and people watch and maybe chat it up with a stranger or two

when I was a wide eyed youngin my parents let me fly on my own from Denver to visit some friends during Christmas break.

Mom went cheap on the tickets and did not fly me direct. I had a connecting flight in D.C.

I got pick pocketed in that ghetto arse airport. Had to ask some nice Grandmaw for some quarters(before cellphones) to use the pay phone and have money wired to me. Good times.

Now, I don't drink before or during flights as a hangover on a plane sucks.

If you don't stop drinking you won't get a hangover.

Flew out of Pensacola headed to Nashville for a bachelor party last year.

I got there about an hour before and got checked in then bellied up to the bar and started POUNDING beer.

This 6/10 blonde pulls up next to me and I'm not creepy or anything so I let her make the first move.

After we chat for a bit, she goes "I'm really nervous about flying!" I reply, "My wife is the same way, she eats a xanax before flying and it helps her a lot."

"Oh, well I have these Kolodopin but I'm still nervous!"

"Oh shite! Me too! Can I have one of those?"

Apparently they were K2s and she gave me two, which I promptly ate. I do not remember a goddamn thing about the entire weekend. But I'm told we had a blast. That was a good time at the airport bah.

In college I was waiting on a flight in Atlanta back when anyone could hang out in the terminal. Well the inbound flight from wherever was delayed awhile so I had about 2-3 hours to kill. I got some snacks, a magazine, and a seat by the window to watch planes come in. Well this girl sits next to me without any luggage or ticket in hand. I don't remember what made us start talking but at some point she asked for one of my gummie snacks. I told her if she could catch it in her mouth she could. So we end up playing that game for 10 minutes. This girl was very forward and very entertaining. She looked like Heather Graham a little bit so I was into it. Apparently she was waiting on a friend who was on the inbound flight so we hung out the whole time. I got her digits and for the next few years I met up with her anytime I was in Atlanta, one time she came to the terminal again to hang out. We did this up until I met my wife actually and it was quite fun.

When I was about 10 years old a series of delays caused my family to get into Houston at about midnight. We had missed our flight back to Lake Charles by hours. My parents decided we would just sleep in the terminal at IAH until the first flight out the next morning. Place was a ghost town. I had a blast running all over the place.
