Traveling can be a wonderful thing. You get to experience different cultures, warmer climates, and escape the mundanity of your at-home life. However, there is a necessary evil to travel, and that is going to the airport. Here, you can experience delays that seem much longer than a few hours (and can feel like weeks), and encounter odd folks who make your trip a nightmare.
