Air travel makes things quicker but can also very plain frustrating at the same time, to get from one to another without having to drag yourself through the world’s longest queues, lost luggage, endless security checks, flight delays and cancellations, … you know how it can get, but that is only the tiny tip of the iceberg.

But we cannot just blame all our problems on the airlines since it’s usually a people problem that is causing all of the confusion and suffering. You will often find the wackiest people and things at airports out of all places, and that certainly keeps us entertained for a hot minute.

Which is your favorite airport moment?

No Emergencies allowed

If you were passing through Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, and were about to have an emergency near this emergency phone, then you need to have your emergency at some other place, please. As if you can control your emergency! Considering how busy the O’Hare Airport is, even on a low day, we hope that phone was fixed at the earliest! In the time it took the authorities to identify the problem, print out the sign and stick it here, they could have actually called in people to fix the phone!
