\"Airport<\/a>Long airport layovers give a person plenty of think time. Here are 10 things I’ve been thinking while sitting in airports lately.<\/em><\/p>\n

10. Sitting beside a sweet 12-year-old during her first flight ever makes flying fun again.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Smart phone boarding passes. Totally worth the price of an iPhone.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 If we can send men to the moon, why can’t escalator handrails be programmed to move at the same speed as the escalator steps?<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 I predict that in the next few years cup holders will become a fixture, not only on chairs in airport gates, but also in airport bathroom stalls.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Airport coffee shops. Ahhh!<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Diabetics, people with celiac disease, and dairy allergies should never be assigned to airport gates directly across from Cinnabon. It’s cruel and unusual punishment.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 In addition their two free bags policy, Southwest Airlines flight crews give extra peanuts if you ask.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 They also let you use the bathroom before take off. Especially if you ask with a very pained expression. Don’t ask how I know this.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 And when they page a passenger with an ordinary name to come to the front of the plane, they also page Brad Pitt. Believe me, that<\/em> gets everyone’s attention right away.<\/p>\n

1. Sadly, the powers that be removed the Blues Brother statue from its spot between the A and B terminals at Chicago Midway Airport. Only the sight of a Southwest gate attendant in a black fedora mitigated this traveler’s disappointment.<\/p>\n
