Airport Visitors You Can't Help But Stare At

It has probably been a while since any of us was at an airport, and strangely, some of us might even go as far as to miss them. With this worldwide pandemic, airports are now partly deserted, but they were once filled with life.

Wherever there’s life, there’s also madness, and these pictures here are a great example of that statement. The lengths people go to travel in comfort are sometimes so funny; we can’t help but laugh. Whether these situations happened on purpose or by accident, one thing’s for sure; we’re thankful to have them caught on camera!

Who Needs A Blanket?

Having to spend time in the airport after check-in might be a pleasant experience, supposing that time isn’t more than a couple of hours. Whenever there are unnecessary delays, however, things tend to get annoying. All the comfortable seats are usually taken, and there’s noise everywhere.

These people in this picture don’t seem to be annoyed by the busy airport. On the contrary, they’re taking a nap. We can’t even begin to imagine how uncomfortable this lady must be seeing how these chairs actually have handles. Thankfully, she has her partner keeping her cozy.

Funny Or Evil?

This sticker is part genius, part evil. Finding a plug at an airport is challenging, and anyone who’s ever traveled on a plane knows that. Whoever placed that sticker there at least had the decency to videotape the reaction of this unfortunate teen so that we can all feel less sad about our day so far.

To be fair, he doesn’t seem so surprised when he realizes he’s trying to plug his charger on a sticker. Just imagine spending half an hour looking for a free plug, only to fall victim to a vicious prank. Then again, mobiles aren’t allowed to be turned on in airplanes.

Getting A Bit Too Comfortable

Even the most innocent person gets anxious when going through airport security. We’re grateful that the security is as strict as it is. After all, no one would want to get involved in an aviation accident. However, that doesn’t mean that going past it isn’t a terrifying experience.

This lady here knows exactly what we’re talking about. Although she doesn’t resemble a criminal in any way, she still got hand-picked off the line and had a body search done to her. It may seem as though the lady in the uniform is getting a bit comfortable, but rest assured, that’s just the standard procedure!

When You’ve Had Enough

Traveling is hardly ever a pleasant experience, especially for an impatient toddler! They’ve spent hours getting to the airport, only to spend hours sitting still at the airplane and then spend hours again in the car on the way to the hotel. This little girl has simply had enough.

It might be time for them to walk, but she’d much rather sleep instead. In honesty, we kind of wish we're small and light enough to be able to lay down on a suitcase like that and be carried. Who knows? Maybe her dad didn’t even have to pay for her ticket!

In An Alternate Reality

Come to think about it, everything on an airplane is now so automated with how technology has advanced, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see a blind person flying one eventually. However, we’re not at that point yet, and this picture here can make anyone feel uneasy.

Rest assured, as this picture is actually part of a Halloween prank. Just imagine the surprise on people’s faces when they saw this guy standing by the cockpit greeting the passengers. Hopefully, no airline got sued that day, and this pilot keeps making his passengers laugh to the day.

On Our Way To Meet Santa

Many curious things happen at airports. These guys know exactly what we’re talking about. Although we can’t actually know the story behind their fashion choices, it’s clear that they’re proud of them. In fairness, we can’t think of a reason why someone would choose to wear this tacky suit in public, other than to have fun with it.

It might very well have been on discount at the duty-free shop. Maybe that’s the reason why these two strangers wound up wearing matching outfits. On the other hand, they might be on their way to the North Pole to get an interview from Santa Claus.

Something Smells Fishy

Although we have no question as to why this guy had to give up his suit to travel, we kind of feel bad he had to pay as much money as he would if he was carrying a suitcase. After all, the only thing this guy needs is his fish costume.

In fairness, the rest of his outfit looks quite comfortable to travel in. It must have been difficult getting that past security, though. Can it even fit past the metal detector? Nothing will ever stop this guy from attending whatever event he's going to, even if it’s all the way across the country.

Naughty Naughty

The more we think about it, the more we hope this picture was photoshopped because we can’t think of how this ended well. Now, after leaving our worries aside, that day was either ‘Bring your child to work day,’ or this little guy was naughty.

Hopefully, no one got injured in the taking of this photograph. After all, what could this boy have done to deserve such a cruel punishment? If it’s any consolation, the airplane doesn’t seem to be moving, so it’s safe to say that it was all just a silly stunt. This child does know how to strike a pose, though!

Go Big Or Go Home

It takes a lot of courage to fly dressed like that. However, this person isn’t doing himself any favors, having printed such a large boarding pass.  We’re pretty sure that there isn’t a machine in the entire airport that’s large enough to scan it! In fairness, the tickets don’t come with specific instructions regarding the boarding pass’s size.

‘Go big or go home’ might be the life motto for many, but in this case, maybe going normal-sized is the only choice. Then again, that’s a very effective way to make sure not to forget the boarding pass at home. It may not be practical, but it’s completely relatable.

Don’t Forget Your Stick!

We’re not so surprised to see this stick in baggage claim, as it could be used as a weapon, but we do wonder why it’s so important as to travel on a plane. Who could want this stick so much to go through the trouble of getting it through security?

Maybe it’s actually a wooden staff disguised as a stick for it to travel. We would love to see the look on the airport crew member’s face when he had to weigh it before it entered the plane. On the other hand, we're certain that this stick isn’t the weirdest thing to have traveled by plane.

Stretch Your Legs Before The Flight

Having to wait at an airport is never amusing. These guys were so bored they decided to practice their ballet routine. However, we can’t think of why they wanted to practice as they’re doing it perfectly. From the way they move to their synchronization, everything is on point.

To be fair, it’s hard to imagine anyone not being surprised by this sight, yet this guy on the opposite auto-walk doesn’t seem to be impressed. Maybe he’s their instructor, thinking they can do better. Overall, we have to applaud them for their attempt to kill some time.

When You Don’t Want To Take Any Risks

We can’t stress enough how big of a genius this guy is. Although we can’t know how he managed to get a personalized suitcase with his selfie, we do know that we’re jealous! Who hasn’t come close to losing his baggage while traveling? It’s something everyone’s anxious about when taking a plane.

We can’t say the same about this guy. He came prepared. He has lost his suitcases one too many times to fall for it again. Getting this suitcase may have cost him a pretty penny, but it was certainly worth the trouble. We kind of want to know who makes these.

Why Is Santa At The Airport?

Who in their right minds would be so rude as to ask Santa to take off his shoes? These guys at airport security have really taken it a step further here. It looks as though Mr. Claus got himself in trouble. In his defense, he was only carrying that bottle of gin to give it as a gift!

What is he even doing at the airport? Isn’t Santa supposed to have a flying reindeer sleigh? Maybe Rudolf wanted a vacation, and he had to get creative, or maybe he’s actually a criminal in disguise, thinking no one in their right minds would ever stop Santa for a security check.

What A Pleasant Sight

Surely these children mean well, but we can’t imagine that being a pleasant sight, especially for dear Grandma, who has just gotten out of her 17-day-long rehab. In fairness, going to rehab shouldn’t be shameful. On the other hand, it should be rewarded! We can’t help but want to know what addiction grandma was trying to quit.

No matter what, we are certain that grandma was happy to see her grandchildren waiting for her at the arrivals. Come to think about it, those children’s parents might have had something to do with this sign. After all, it seems very well-written and decorated.

On Our Way To Boogeytown

We won’t pretend to know the slightest thing about air traffic control, but this guy seems to have it all figured out. He’s not just controlling the traffic, but he’s also dancing while doing so! If it were up to us, this guy would’ve earned a promotion a long time ago.

What a better way to make the day for both the pilots and the passengers? Controlling air traffic may not be on anyone’s bucket list, but this guy makes it seem like the ideal job! He’s out there by the sun, dancing his hands off, getting a good workout, and getting paid to do so.

Not On My Watch

Denmark is a beautiful country. After all, it’s home to beautiful architecture, Lurpak butter, Lego, and apparently, timed kisses. As funny as it may be, this sign is an actual sign on the Airport of Aalborg. Anyone who’s ever flown there can kiss whoever he likes, as long as it lasts less than three minutes.

Although it’s a very odd rule to enforce, we can imagine that the spot would get crowded otherwise. We wouldn’t want to be in the security guard’s position, though. Imagine having to split up couples who are about to be separated for who knows how much time!

The Human Bike

It took us more time than what we’d like to admit, understanding that this is not actually a stationary bike this guy’s riding, but three of his friends. It’s just yet another time when people got creative while waiting to catch their plane. Why sit around for hours when doing this is an option?

Admittedly, the guy wearing the grey outfit is the one who’ll probably regret agreeing to this the next day. Not only will he have to stay seated all day, but he’ll now also have aching muscles after lifting his friend for all this time. Who knows how many times they failed before getting it right?

The Terminal

As perfect as going camping may be, there is always one issue: the lack of electricity. That is not going to be a problem for whoever has taken this photograph, though, as he has found a camping spot right next to the airport’s charging station.

The more we think about it, the more the film called The Terminal with Tom Hanks comes to mind. Although we are sure that this is not the case here, and this person isn’t actually living at that airport, maybe Steven Spielberg should be taking notes.

I Can Smell The Water

According to the YouTube video from which this gif was taken, this happened at Chicago Airport. We can’t know how these guys came up with this idea, but they do seem like they’ve had practice in rowing. In fact, if we didn’t know any better, we’d say that the walkway is only moving because of them!

It’s just one of those times when people get creative while waiting. At least this time, no one is carrying anyone, and they are all getting an equally good workout! To be fair, they might be nervous about their upcoming rowing race, in which case, we wish them good luck.

Read The Room

Let’s hope that the person working at security that day had a good sense of humor. Otherwise, we can’t think of a possible scenario where this ended well. At first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but once we read this lady’s bag's writing, it all made sense.

It takes a great amount of courage or not-caring to get past airport security wearing such a bag. This photo was taken at an airport in Taipei, where English isn't their first language. Also, we can’t imagine any store selling these, so she probably had to go through the trouble of printing it herself! That’s a great way to make an impression.

This Can’t Be A One-Time Gig

Ever wondered why it takes so long for the luggage to get moved from the airplane to baggage claim? Maybe that’s the reason why. Seeing this gif gives us the impression that this isn’t a one-time thing. Anyone who’s ever tried the viral bottle challenge knows it takes great skill to achieve this trick.

They probably have better and more productive ways to spend their days at work, but who would choose to work over party tricks? The gif does kind of make us want to try doing this ourselves. However, we’re pretty sure we’d fail no matter how many times we tried.

Traveling Light

Speaking of luggage, we really wouldn’t want to be the ones carrying this. It seems as though that plane traveled just to deliver suitcases rather than humans. It’s no secret that some people tend to pack more things than others. However, the passengers on that plane may have overdone it a bit.

It must have taken some great skills to pack the suitcases like this. Did they run out of carts or what? Also, how exactly did they pack all these suitcases? They must have spent more time piling them up than they would if they simply filled the cart two or three times.

Never Skip A Workout

This guy may have a 12-hour plane ride ahead of him, but he’s not going to let that cost him his daily workout. He might not have had enough time to go to the gym that day, but his ingenuity had him doing sit-ups, with extra weight, while waiting for the plane!

He even had someone sit at the chairs so that he gets that extra burn on his hips. We have to admire his dedication, as most people would have probably been happy to have to miss a day at the gym. If it were us, we’d probably be enjoying a bar of chocolate instead.

Don’t Try This At Home

Okay, this picture isn’t actually taken on an airport’s ground, but at least it’s visible in the background! This guy is actually quite famous on Instagram for his stunts. It turns out that they’re all photoshopped. We were kind of relieved to hear that, as it doesn’t seem to be safe at all.

PilotGanso’s page is filled with such selfies. It’s the reason why he’s gone viral, to begin with. However, if anyone were to try this stunt, the results would be lethal, as the plane would start falling. That’s the very reason why the airplane windows can’t open.

Smile For The Camera, Nevermind The Huge Engine

We would not recommend anyone to try this, ever, under any circumstances. Airplane engines are so strong, and anyone who has ever passed by an airport knows that. Thankfully, this person in this picture is a professional, and she knows exactly what she’s doing.

She is the viral Pilot Maria, with over half a million followers on Instagram. She even has her own blog. As fascinating and daring as this selfie may be, it’s just one of the perks that come with being a pilot. In Maria’s case, being a pilot also means having a jealous-worthy Instagram following.

I’m Not Taking Any Chances

It’s safe to say that this picture wasn’t taken in 2020 as the rest of the passengers don’t seem to be wearing masks. This guy, however, can clearly never be too careful. It would all make sense if he wore a mask to cover his eyes, trying to sleep.

From his eyes to his ears, nose, and mouth, he’s not taking any chances whatsoever to catch something on that plane. Although since the COVID-19 pandemic, such sightings have become somewhat frequent, imagine the surprise on the rest of the passenger’s faces when they saw him before the outbreak ever happened.

At Least They Can’t See Us

As much as we would like for this picture to be photoshopped, it’s not. It was taken in 2017, during a commercial flight. A Saudi prince had reportedly bought all 80 of these falcons tickets for the flight, so who are we to judge? We wouldn’t want to be in it, though.

The only reason for which the falcons are wearing ‘hoods’ is to keep them calm. It’s customary for them to be hooded while traveling. We can’t know where this prince was going and why he needed to get so many falcons with him. Quite frankly, we’re surprised he didn’t use a private jet instead.

Thinking Outside The Box

This woman’s definitely thinking outside the box, even though she found herself inside one. To be fair, this picture hardly strikes us as real, but then again, we would not be surprised to hear that someone has actually attempted this! After all, it would be a good way to get a two-in-one ticket.

However, the lady in the photo did this in an attempt to protest against human trafficking, which has become rampant in some places.  After all, if she wanted to hide, she probably would not have chosen a transparent suitcase.

Never Been Happier To See You

This mom probably deserved this weekend off parenting more than we can imagine. Even though she was only away for a couple of days, she returned, to her surprise, to this ‘Welcome Home’ message. As discouraging as it may seem, we’re pretty sure that their dad may have had something to do with it.

After all, we can hardly imagine these two boys being able to write and paint so well unless we’re talking about the upcoming Picassos. We have to applaud this father’s humor, though. On the other hand, we do hope that the sign doesn’t reflect the truth.

Why Has Everything Gone Dark?

Okay, a plane crashing into a building is never a laughing matter. However, with the right caption, this can make us laugh out loud. It was actually taken back in 1999 when Swelink’s company Saab 2000 ran into this hangar. To be fair, the road seems to be quite slippery.

Thankfully, no passengers were inside the plane, and it was being operated by two technicians, who luckily came out of the plane alive. We can’t say the same about the aircraft, however, as it was damaged beyond repair. It’s safe to say that they were more cautious the next time.
