re: Longest airport layover you've gone through? Did you sleep in the airport, or get a hotel?

Had a nightmare in Miami. Long arse story no one will read but the jist of it was they couldn't put gas in the plane, gave us vouchers at a hotel, shuttle bus got kidnapped, called 911, almost got left on highway at 3 in morning, altercation with shuttle driver, got back to airport and slept on floor

I had an 8+ hour layover in Doha, Qatar on the way to our honeymoon in the Maldives 5 years ago. The hotels were expensive as frick of course. We slept in a dark corner of the airport against our luggage.

Haven’t flown a ton but 2 layover stories.
1. First time I flew. Honeymoon to St. Lucia. We had like a 5 hour delay on the island next to it (Barbados) and evidently had engine issues. Wasn’t a big deal except you could literally see St Lucia from the airport.
This past year we had a cluster coming back from Orlando. Sat in the plain on the runway waiting on weather to pass for 3 hours. Missed our connecting flight in DFW. Had to wait for a 9:40 pm flight. Got to Shreveport around 11. Then had a 2 he drive from Shreveport home. Made for a really long day considering we should have been home by around 7 that night had there not been delays.

I've had to stay overnight several times, Atlanta, Miami, Shang Hi and Port Elizabeth, SA. Rented a car and drove 8hrs home due to a winter storm one time.
The worst place for me with delays was Miami, I hated that place and American Airlines.

Last year I was rerouted mid-flight (MSY-DFW) to OKC. Sat on the tarmac in OKC for 11.5 hours in the plane. They would not let us deboard, or walk around. Then we received clearance to fly to DFW, and sat on that tarmac for 2 hours there before we could get off the plane. Will never fly American Airlines again.

When I graduated boot camp, my mom offered to get me a plane ticket home instead driving. We went to the airport and sat for like 12 hours, the people that drove back home made it home before we even got on the plane. Good times.

Actually pretty recently, I fly Delta and I fly alot. Delta is a hot mess right now. First flight was delayed a few hours so I missed my connection in Detroit to get home. It was the last flight out.
So it was about 12 hours but Detroit has a nice Westin in the airport. So I just got a room and slept.
Once again for those looking for summer flights. Delta is a mess right now. I've flown to VA, OR, CA and IN the past 5 weeks. I've had delayed or canceled flights for everytrip.

I missed my 6am flight out of KC when I was coming home for Christmas in college. I had to wait until 6pm that night for another flight. I just remember sitting in the airport all day plane and people watching. There was nothing else to do.

Had 20 something hour layover in Singapore on way back from Perth. Wife and I went and saw her house they lived in when she was a kid and her dad was working there. Hit up the food courts and the downtown area. Refreshed at the airport which is one of best in the world

Nobody believes you.
If you have to come to a board like this to brag, you have a small penis.

Overnighting at an airport isn’t the worst thing. Get through security, make friends with a bartender, and crash for a few hours at your gate.
If you’re taking an early AM flight home from the west coast, it’s better than getting like 4 hours sleep at a hotel and having to hustle to the airport.

This past Tuesday I had a 3 and a half hour layover in Denver waiting for my connecting flight to Orlando. That wasn’t bad compared to some of y’all…
