-
find the cheapest source of beer, and fire up the ipod.
-
Buy a puzzle book (that comes with a free pen). Pens in airports (certainly in England) tend to be so expensive that it's cheaper to buy a puzzle book with a free pen anyway!
-
Eat your money?
-
Convert the ten dollars into pennies and then count them one by one.
-
I buy a Crossword Book and maybe a Snack and sit down and just relax. Then if i get more bored i wander off to see what the airport has to show lol
-
go into the bathroom and do a little toe tapping?
-
I had something similar (only about 5 hours) and i bought a magazine and some peanuts. read the magazine about 4 times though
-
I would all ready have an enticing book with me, and doubt I would spend the money on any overpriced airport food or drink, so I probably wouldn't spend a nickel of it. :)
-
I would buy a book, a cup of coffee and a snickers bar.
-
I've managed to spend time listening to books on tape or podcasts I'd downloaded or reading books I'd brought along. I've also yaked on my mobile phone to burn time. I tend to go to a fairly secluded area to talk, though, because I don't wish to disturb other people. (This is when roll-over minutes come in handy!) Perhaps you could write a poem or song lyrics on a napkin (if you don't have any spare paper). If you have a laptop, you could play games. I spent most of the time on one layover taking photos around the airport with my cameraphone. (There were some interesting signs in "Engrish"/broken English.)
-
Its called $1 menu! and thats why i am 400 pounds. lol, jk
-
Hopefully you will have brought your IPod and a good book. Find a quiet pub (difficult in airports), nurse a glass of wine or a beer for awhile, then go to your gate and watch the people. A 2 hour layover is a piece of cake...
-
I'm assuming you have your laptop . . . I certainly spend more than 2 hours at a time on AB.
-
get a roll of coins, flip them one at a time out onto the floor & watch people fight over them - this can go on for hours
-
I would go buy a book or magazine, read it and if all else fails watch the people. :)
-
I usually just take a nap. No money needed there ;)
-
go and watch the planes take off and land! it's so fun! :) cost: $0, unless you wanna buy a drink to enjoy the show with! :)
-
There are airports in the world where you don't have to spend any money. At Changi Airport in Singapore, they have free Internet. That's a good place to go.
-
Pen ..paper.. start working out questions for next time you on AB
-
If you even think the word "kill" in an airport, you will probably be detected by some sensor, tackled to the floor by Security, and then tied to a chair and interrogated ruthlessly for hours by Air Marshal staff. I'd say go to the bar and have half a drink, since that's all you're gonna get for $10 in an airport. Sip slowly and try not to think any bad words;)
-
I bring my laptop, my husband brings an acoustic guitar.
-
take some good music, a book, maybe a puzzle book, play games on your phone, get food and drink.
-
I buy a magazine, a bottle of water, and I find a nice quiet place and read the mag.
-
Try a local beer and a magazine.
-
I would make sure I had a book to read.
-
I bring my own magazine, book, or video game. That gives me something to do on the plane and during the layover. If the airport is big enough window shopping and a cold drink would work. Gives me some exercise from sitting on the plane. Sometime I write. I bring a notebook and pen and just write.
-
Peoplewatching is free!
-
I always bring my ipod or discman with me. Maybe a book. I usually buy 1 or 2 magazines at the airport when I'm there too. I like crosswords too. If I have my laptop and there's wifi then there ya go, time will fly lol. I might play a game on my phone too.
-
Read $10 worth of magazines and then donate them to someone Go to an internet kiosk Save it until you get to your destination
-
stand in the book shop, read all their magazines and walk away with my 10 bux still in my pocket :)
-
buy like 5 mags and just skim through them and read just a little. Then, on your flight you'll still have something to do!
-
I would buy try to find a Sudoku and solve it (the hardest level).
-
Read a book.
-
get a couple of alcoholic drinks and sleep on the plane
-
Buy a crossword puzzle magazine and a soda.
-
Im really cheap so i would say take out the 10 dollars and play with it for 2 hours
-
Where is the nearest bar?
-
Buy french fries and snacks and go watch tv.
-
...drink a Bloody Mary and read my novel...
-
Read or walk around the stores .
-
Sleep or read - thems your choices
-
as long as you have a book your never bored
-
Eat!
-
That's when I catch up on my trashy tabloids! I agree that you should always bring a book with you to the airport though, no excuses. I like to switch off, so I can expand my mind a bit with a book and then go back to the brain-heroin for a while. it's the perfect excuse for reading them, though!
-
not an answer
-
People watch, and make up stories about where people are going and why.
-
I always go and buy me a puzzle book (I usually take one..cheaper at Wal mart). I get caught up in that for hours and it's cheap. If you buy something to drink, make sure it's in a bottle so you can fill it up with water in the sink/fountain and not have to buy but 1 bottle that way. (saves $). books to read keep entertained. Some places have programs that you can buy the book, read it, take it back and get your money back or exchange it for another one.
-
..buy yourself a 6 dollar romance book..and use the rest to buy a cup of cappucino..have a seat and enjoy
-
those sweet puzzle books they sell!
-
Buy a bag of chips and count the number of chews it takes to eat them all - record the number, then buy another bag and do the same and compare...lol.
-
grab a quick bloody mary, and read the local paper
-
Take the advice of comedian Dane Cook. Walk up to somebody that is waiting to get on a flight. Look at them with a worried expression on your face then say "Don't get on the flight" Then just walk away
-
food and puzzle
-
Depends...which airport you are in ? If its Dubai Airport, you are really short of time before you have a final call for to proceed to the aircraft.
-
I read, grab a quick snack and people watch.
-
First it depends what airport that you are visiting? If you are in Asia for example get a messsage.
-
depends on the airport. Big ones have stuff to do, things to look at. But, if you know you're having a layover, bring a book with you. You could probably sit in the bar and have a couple beverages and drink them slowly, reading or watching tv. I just wander aimlessly sometimes, people watching, girl watching.
-
Bring a book and sit on a chair and read it, won't cost you a dime. If you want to splurge, go in and get a coffee to drink while you read.
-
Picket
-
Read a book, people watch, sleep :)
-
Just do window shopping and sleep or read a book
-
don't go to the bar... drinks are priced outrageously when they control the competition :(
-
I taught myself dollar bill origami for this very eventuality - I travel a lot. You can fold your $10 into an animal. Trust me, some of the designs are complex enough to take hours to complete... and it's weirdly satisfying.
-
I would check out the rates at the duty free shopping and compare them at home.Later you will be sure to go back with a loaded wallet!
-
Buy a New York Times and a large latte, and sip slowly.
-
You could go to the shops or buy a cup of coffee, but who says you need to spend money? You could just browe, and I'm sure your airport will have free magazines you can read. Next time, taking a good book with you whenever you think you'll have to wait a while is useful. Alternately, you could just have a Snickers. Why wait? ;)
-
Lately, most airports have art or exhibits all over the place. . . take a walk outside (if you don't mind going through security again), read a book scour for left over newspapers, people watch, get a bottle of water then refill in the water fountain if your thirsty, sleep if you have time and aren't paranoid. Lots to do, cheap or free if your creative.
-
I hate the airport, thanks to our lovely Osama. Now, I have to have a book. Not only a book, but one I cannot put down. So, that entitles a little research before I actually get on the plane. My worst trip ever was a train ride from Chicago to Pompano Beach, Fla. because I picked the most BORING damn book I ever tried to read, Bonfire of the Vanities. I don't know, I thought I could read anything when I'm desperate, but that sucked to me. I respect Tom Wolfe and all, but that was a stinker.
-
Read something I brought, do some kind of handwork like quilting or embroidery, do sudoku.
-
2 hours? Is that it? I've spent 36 hours in an airport before...fun stuff. :) BUT... One thing my friend and I did once which kept us laughing for 2 hours straight was people watch, but improved..and here's how. Watch, say, two people conversing and make up their conversation back and forth. Sounds silly, but it can be extremely humorous. Or making up names for people... Okay...I've spent a LOT of time in airports, okay? :)
-
Get a fun magazine... People, or style depending on what you like, find a spot near your gate and just relax. Maybe have a coffee if you like, or tea. 2 hours isn't long, by the time you get the magazine and coffee, you'll only have a half an hour or so before you board. :)
-
Read. People watch Start a conversation
-
I like to pick-up girls and drink other peoples beers.
-
Pretend to be a Hare Krishna and walk around barefoot asking for donations.
-
Buy one beer, and take a long time to drink it. Lighting up a cigarette every quarter helps kill time. The latter part also facilitates interesting people watching.
-
i always play pinball play video games and have an espresso
-
i would try finding a hot chick and make out with her
-
curl up on a bench and take a nap.
-
In the US ten dollars will get you twenty local phone calls at the pay phone. See who wants to talk.

-

-
Buy a small tube of superglue and make sure to get a quarter back with your change. Superglue the quarter to the floor in front of a vending machine and pull up a seat. Hilarity will ensue and keep you plenty entertained for the two hours. :)
-
I people watch. It is especially interesting to go to the arrivals lounge and watch the reunions....emotional, hilarious, exciting..... Never boring.
-
You could steal someone's credit card and go to the bar, you could sleep or just ahead and slit your wrist now because your flight is going to be delayed. Better yet, go to the bar and look pitiful, maybe someone will have pity on you.
-

-
Pay for internet service and log into AB
-
buy 100 pieces of 'Double Bubble' chewing gum. Make 50 bubble gum sculptures and sell them for $5 each.
-
If your first flight is late you may not have two hours. If your connection is on the the other end of the airport you may have just used half of that. If you do not have a laptop and some airports have free internet I would get a pop, coffee, or beer and a newspaper or read the book I brought alone to read in flight.
-
Try people watching, it's very entertaining and free. It's fun trying to guess where people are going, and what they're thinking.
-
Buy a trashy celebrity gossip mag & some good chocolate, put a few bucks in a massage chair, and watch the folks go by...
-
Put a face mask on and run really fast.
