Air travel can either be a total breeze or an absolute disaster, you never really know which way it will go. These are the most hilarious moments that happened in airports.
Adjusting
Being at the airport means adjusting. Adjusting to the rules, adjusting to delays, adjusting to time differences, or adjusting into a confortable position on a long layover. Sometimes it’s too hot, sometimes too cool so you need to travel prepared. No matter the situation, you may find yourself having to adjust to all kinds of bizarre circumstances.
Airport Seats Can Be Comfortable Too
Airports are spaces filled with intense human activity. It's the beginning of an adventure, the reunion of loved ones, or the start of a new phase of life. While this amazes us, we hate airports for one reason: the long waiting hours and delays. We've all uncomfortably dozed off on the chair, waiting to board the flight or looking for a quieter spot to rest.
But this woman seems to have had enough of hectic journeys and decided to lie down on the chairs. We are baffled and amused by how she could get under the armrests, allowing her to recline fully. We salute her guts and confidence to pull that off.
Be A Chameleon
Whatever life throws at us, we have to be armed and ready. The moment we say hello to the radiant sunshine means waking up to the morning's challenges. Adaptability is an appealing trait, and what better way to show off quick reflexes than in an airdrome.
The airport's looming conundrum is a real scare, from wild protocols to midair emergency. Delay is another term passengers fear, so sit back, relax and manage that temperament. Anyhow, rain or shine, we'll get there—eventually. Bizarre circumstances are inevitable in the landing strip. So, let's keep our cool with the crew; though it's sickening hot, we want to hit the ground running.
Getting Handsy ?
Navigating through a foreign street is a steep adventure, yet we're all willing to pay the price. Sometimes, the price is patience as we queue in the line. Traveling shouldn't be this hard, should it? Unfortunately, this little escapade turned chaotic with that maze-like hand and its creepy maneuver.
We know the airport crew is just doing their job. It's not an option, it's a must; for the sake of safety measures, our understanding is highly appreciated. But then again, what about personal space? This little handsy exercise needs to chill out. There is nothing illegal to see here; though it's protocol, the boggled heads hint at the awkward frisk.
Airport Eye-Candy
Everywhere you go, some people's faces always stand out, even in the crowds. Despite hurrying through airport security and trying to get to your flight gate quickly, some fellow travelers are likely to leave a lasting impression on you. It may be due to their stunning looks, clothes, or even any quirky bags they might be carrying. The same goes for the pictures below.
Although seemingly hustling to get to her gate, the woman appears poised. She is going about her business casually while slowly ebbing towards where she is traveling. A beautiful lady, she indeed left a lasting impression on more than a few passengers at the airport and the plane!
Travelling Beauty
Travelling can be tiring and stressful, regardless of how long the travel time is. Most people don't look fashion-forward while in transit on a trip, as it is easier to put on pajamas and walk around the airport as comfortably as possible. Not everyone believes in this approach, however, opting instead to look stunning no matter where they are.
The latter applies to this lady pictured here, who looked beautiful and poised while at the airport. Her ability to look fresh and model-like while traveling is an intelligent quality. Most people are unaware that someone might accidentally snap their picture while outside. Yet even a random photograph taken of her came out looking fabulous for this well-put-together woman.
Do Not Try This On Flight
Flight attendants are always cautioning passengers against the hazards of not following flight rules, whether it is wearing the seat belt properly or not getting up during turbulence. However, this flight attendant is breaking the rules for the camera, trying to take a flattering picture of herself.
Despite it being dangerous, she is sitting too close to the gate on a small slab. We hope she is satisfied with her snap, given the extreme sport it looks to be. But to give some free advice, maybe she should focus more on the job while on duty instead of posing for pictures.
The Perks Of Standing
The greatest affair in this lifetime is to travel. But before anyone makes that step, won't we hold out that pose first? The ghost of random security procedure follows travelers like a beacon of nightmarish light. Though it's for the greater good, still being chosen as their string-puppet out of a thousand is quite embarrassing.
Hands up, limbs on the side, turn around, safekeeping airport sweep is intense. Best to take it all in with a broad mind, a smile perhaps, like this lovely lady. Besides, not everyone gets to dally with the x-ray machine and show the screeners it's no biggie. Challenge accepted; after all, a slight commotion is the height of a backpacker's experience.
The Couple's Pillow
It's necessary to get that beauty sleep wherever you are, and in the case of this couple, it had to be the airport. We assume their flight got a little delayed, so this pair thought of taking a power nap instead of scrolling through their phones.
While it is hard to find a perfect place for a little bit of a snooze, this duo did manage to make the most of what was available. So while the lady felt most comfortable in her man's lap, her partner got some respite by resting on the woman. It may be one of those funny airport moments, yet we find this image too adorable.
Mindlessly Cheeky
Of course, travelers love boarding the plane while carrying equipment that might help make the journey less agonizing, as countless hours can be spent on a flight. But, sometimes, the color and shape of the article brought along may matter more than one would think otherwise.
As is in the case of this woman, whose tan-colored pillow made everyone glimpse twice as she made way through the terminal. Perhaps it was intentionally placed in that position just to fetch a few laughs out of people, but such acts can suddenly take a dangerous turn… what if someone gets seriously offended?
Hide Side
What would you say if someone starts wearing sunglasses behind closed doors? Let us guess: that they're probably striving to hide something, right? Well, that is what's happening in this photo as well!
That's right; the woman isn't any casual individual posing for a fancy profile picture. It's the South African 'Victoria's Secret' model, Candice Swanepoel, who was simply trying to keep her identity from being recognized using merely a pair of shades. And that's precisely why this moment has made it to our list. Who knew concealing yourself didn't require wearing wigs or putting on a lot of makeup.
Extraordinary Revenge
Without a doubt, this image will make you laugh, though the backdrop provided by the photographer is rather tragic. The guy being looked at hadn't forgotten to dress up before leaving home. He actually used such an appearance to teach the airport staff a lesson.
Apparently, they had lost the poor man’s luggage, so he decided to get rid of the rest of his clothes, thinking that crew members would learn not to lose anyone's belongings again. While some people have said it to be a fruitless effort, others believe it may just be a hilarious lie because the sign above reads, "Please, No Jokes."
Welcome Home, My Lady
On second thought, maybe we want a piece of that cinematic bliss too. One with sign holders that defy expectations; it's lifting our jet-lagged stupor as soon as we step into the airport's arrival hall. After a long flight home, there's nothing worth more than a welcoming note from loved ones.
Openly sweet and fascinatingly sleek, this guy has seen too many James Bond movies. No one's complaining though, he might've wriggled a few eyebrows, but the fearless declaration is well taken. Cool glasses, well-pressed suit, and a brooding smile; his smoking hot boxes—all checked. Unabashed with the thoughtful loud display, Mr. Perfectly Cool here earns five stars for making his ladylove's landing an iconic situation.
Parents Be Warned
Hard to maneuver life without the parents, impossible nonetheless. So, mommy and daddy better tuck the kids first before taking off. Leaving them running around unattended might rouse some speedy idea. Inevitably, instead of showering the warmest greetings, they might come slinging that welcome memo with a humorous jab.
By the looks of it, they've waited for much longer, a considerable two weeks, we might add. Father, where art thou? Good to know the children chime in with a playful nod despite mom's resignation. This sign is straight-up cute; what a crafty way to pick on dad. While we're wondering what came after, we're just glad the man is finally back.
Lovers Reunited
We know how difficult life is for men in uniform who stay away from loved ones to be of service. But that makes the simple pleasures even more special. One of the sweetest things ever is to be greeted by your lover at the airport, who took time off to make a handmade welcome board.
While hearts are definitely melting, we are also laughing at the ingenious pun used in the placard. We can see the biggest smiles on both their faces. We are happy to witness such strong love in the world and hope their reunion is filled with happiness and joy.
Don't Mistake Babies For Luggage
Traveling with a kid is a hassle for both parents and passengers. One of the most common wishes of passengers is not to have a kid on board, as they tend to cry during the journey. But it is equally hard for parents, who have to lug them in a stroller, along with their luggage and documents.
This mom seems to be managing it all. She has been asked to remove her shoes off from the TSA, and while both her hands are busy, she decides to put her toddler in the tray of the security check line. We wonder what might have happened if the line had carried the baby through the X-ray machine.
Forrest Gump Spotted
We've all bragged about spotting movie stars at airports. But imagine seeing a real movie character on your flight. The 'Forrest Gump' lookalike from the movie of the same name was spotted at the Nashville Airport. The similarity was so prominent that even the sneakers matched.
We do not know who the person was or why he was dressed like Gump. But we couldn't help thinking if he would unite with his beloved Jane from the movie. In any case, the passengers must have felt like they are in a movie scene. Probably they were waiting for a chance to shout, 'run, Forrest, run!', just like in the movie.
A Big Head
Welcome back signs are a sweet gesture most families enjoy doing for their loved ones. You can notice people holding up signs for the people they are about to pick, beaming proudly about their return. However, not all such airport greetings are the same - some are a little more out there design-wise than others.
Speaking of weird signs, this poor young man's friends and family decided to use a giant picture of his to help him navigate to them. Not only is it creepy for the receiver, but also for everybody who passed by it. One thing's for sure, this homecoming traveler's beloved, naughty and sweet family sure are a bunch of pranksters!
The Runway Proposal
There is nothing quite like watching two people in love interacting with each other. The sweet nothings, kindness, and compassion that couples show each other are always inspiring. So when the same two people decide to spend their lives together, onlookers can't help but gaze in awe.
This young couple in the photograph is a case in point! The woman had seemingly gone away on a trip, but upon returning, she found her partner kneeling on one knee at the airport, ring in hand. We must say she looks thrilled with his proposal while people nearby appear to cheer. We hope this airport pair will lead a beautiful and fulfilling married life together forever.
Prioritizing Pet Relief
For most people, their pets are an essential part of their life. Hence, every time they travel, they take their furry companions with them and enjoy quality time together everywhere they go. Most airports do not have suitable arrangements for these animals to relieve themselves, making life very difficult for pet-owners in transit with their beloved dogs or cats.
Not to worry, however! Some airports, like this one in San Diego, have set up Pet Relief stalls, so they go ahead and do their business without disrupting travel for anyone. The airport authorities also ensured that the airport remained clean for all passengers and pets traveling; isn't that immensely thoughtful?
Boss Baby
Okay, so this must be the most adorable yet quirky idea ever! If an opportunity like this presents itself, you must take it! With that said, the award for the most clever use of lyrics goes to this mum.
Any dad coming home after a long time would burst into laughter and tear up at the same time after seeing that angelic little face. Yet, just between us, our feeling is that this new dad had absolutely no idea he would be coming home to a new family member. Although, we don't really see anyone else in the photograph, so we just hope the baby's mother was somewhere nearby and hadn't just left this homecoming dad with this surprise.
Baggage Claim Fail
Nobody likes it when they have finally reached their destination, and the airport authorities make them wait around idly for the baggage. We know the frustration; yes, we do! Yet, unfortunately, the baggage claim has to be the scariest and exhausting part of the journey for frequent flyers.
We guess that this person had just had enough of it and took it to the next level. From the looks of it, maybe a switch just went off in their mind, urging them to go looking for their luggage on the conveyer belt itself. We hope their day didn't get any worse than this since it's pretty standard for baggage to keep getting misplaced in transit too.
Well, That Escalated Quickly
First time flying by air, you have a window seat, the plane is taking off, looking out the window, everything starts to get smaller and smaller, it is an exhilarating experience, right? Not always, though!
After a plane crash near Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow, the plane's debris got left on site as a scene preservation measure. It's pretty terrible for the faint of heart and especially for someone who doesn't understand how air holds up a heavy plane; this sight could get when coupled with a bit of turbulence. Of course, the cherry on top would've been if the captain was busy announcing his 'In case of emergency landing drill' while flying over the site.
Waiting Lounge Workout Fail
Waiting lounges at every airport can be quite an entertaining place. While often, the most interesting sights are people who are trying to get some sleep with their mouths wide open, drooling, or snoring. Yet, every once in a while, you hit the jackpot on a genuine laughing stock just like this!
We completely understand that a long flight has its toll on the body, and every muscle starts to get sore from all those hours of sitting, but this is still a no! You should never take out a mat and get your session on. No, sir, stretch as the ordinary people do, or you’ll end up on a list like this one too.
How To Break Up 101
Professor Britney just gave us an excellent idea on how to break up and evade that post-breakup uncomfortable talk effectively; drop them off at an airport and do it via a signboard. Savage! And we thought breaking up via texts was cold!
Yet her reason is the real highlight here, dumped for a selfie stick! One expensive selfie stick, if we may, hope it was worth it. Selfies are all the rage now, so much so that people have become addicted to taking them 24/7. Simon seems one such person with a craze for clicking selfies, but Britney's had enough, and his new selfie stick just got him a one-way ticket to bachelorhood.
The Brief Case Of A Long Nap
Traveling by air could sometimes be a hassle since delays like weather problems, schedule changes, or even cancellations could happen. It's even worse if one hasn't slept because they hope to do so on the plane. This kind of situation could inspire innovation in just about any bleary-eyed traveler.
'No pillows and mattresses at the airport' is probably what this man got told when he made inquiries. So the genius guy found a way to both find the best sleep position and, at the same time, be able to know if his briefcase is about to get stolen. It is not a very comfortable position but, he looks deeply asleep, so who are we to judge?
Have A Safe Flight
Safety is an indispensable element when it comes to air travel. It's not just about aeronautics maintenance and technical issues, but some of the passengers' personal belongings might potentially threaten everyone else's safety on board.
Durians are not innocuous as people think because apart from their noxious odor, they can cause significant health discomfort and allergic reactions— just imagine if the pilot happens to be allergic! Also, weight limits are critical for airplanes, and since there is no way of determining the amount of liquid in snow globes, they've also gotten banned. Our advice is that changing souvenirs would be a better way to go during the Holiday season.
Cocooned
Some people like to be alone when traveling, and some prefer seclusion because they're just germophobes. Since it's no secret that planes can be seedbeds for widespread germs, cautious travelers just don't take any chances. That might as well be the case of this man here.
Another possibility is that he's a music lover— Maybe he likes his jazz with his eyes peacefully shut. He probably also likes his headphones on active duty at all times, but being in a public environment should mean either his eyes or ears be also on duty. The pilot might have a message to announce, or a bit of turbulence might shake him around.
Scribbled With Love
Talking about memories that last forever— The kid's writing may look unreadable, but it could still get easily interpreted— 'unconditional love.' The real giveaway is from the kid's genuine expression of happiness; her grandparents must have felt very special indeed.
All kids are cute, but when they create scenes like this at the airports, one can only relish their purity and innocence; because although we might see cute kids every day, it is not all the time we see such heartwarmingly divine moments. These are the little things that make parents say, 'I can do anything for this child' because they are not too many feelings that come close to this.
What's Happening Here!
Art runs in this child's veins, but that wouldn't be their parent's first takeaway thought here. In fact, anger would cloud their reasoning so much that it wouldn't leave room for much else. This dad left his travel documents lying around obviously or didn't hide them well enough. His innocent kid, who apparently likes to doodle, must've gotten their hands on this passport because it looks more like a sketchbook at this point.
The poor father must have thought what a mistake he made, leaving it lying around within the child's reach! Apparently, the airport authorities were not impressed by the artistically enhanced passport. Kids often cry at airports, and this is just one of the reasons that they do.
Luggage Jenga
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to play Jenga at the airport with people's luggage? Well, somebody did! Not exactly, but there's an airport with luggage sculptures molded together to form a sculptural art installation. At this terminal, travelers get greeted by luggage towers standing tall, making an incredible spectacle for everyone passing through.
We must say these towers are impressively conceived art sculptures that add to the quirkiness of the airport. One can only wonder about the kind of creative energy interior decorators possess to come up with such ideas! Next time you visit this airport for a trip, make it a point to check these out.
Keep Away From The Runway
Can you imagine airports without signboards? Absolutely not! Imagine the chaos when no one knows where to go because of no indications. With that said, some signboards are more critical than others. Here is one example from St. Maarten’s Princess Juliana Airport that is of particular significance.
Frequent travelers might have seen a few similar warning signs around airports, but this one is rare. The parking lot on this facility is incredibly close to the actual runway, and that is a severe safety hazard and could lead to life-threatening accidents if ignored. This close proximity between zooming jets and pedestrians is also what gives the Caribbean its unsafe reputation.
The Collie Savior
Animals are always a safety hazard in areas where there's a safety threat. Most airports are aware of the damage that these wild creatures could bring to the infrastructure and the people. While it's difficult to control their movements, one could always limit them. Most airports have come up with traps to keep these animals away.
However, the Cherry Capital Airport in Michigan has come up with an innovative idea to overcome this problem. They have appointed a border collie named Piper, who chases away the animals and keeps the people safe. The best part? He looks absolutely fantastic in his uniform!
Don't Look Up
At first glance, this picture can induce a panic attack in anybody. There are too many airplanes flying a bit too close to one another. Before you overthink this, let us break it to you: It's not real. Though it might seem like it is, it's just an image. Had this been real, there were chances of an astronomical collision happening in LA.
The story behind this will still blow your mind. Photographer Mike Kelley made a photoshopped image from 400 individual photos. This doctored picture depicts flights departing from the runway of LAX Los Angeles' International Airport. The artist called this thrilling masterpiece 'Wake Turbulence.'
Penguins On The Flight
The story behind this picture might seem like a plot out of a novel. What is human life without surprises anyway? These penguins in the picture got threatened by poachers and led away from their homes. Fortunately, they were saved by penguin conservationists.
Traveling with a penguin might not be as easy as one thinks it is. In fact, transporting these birds back to their native habitat, an island off to Port Elizabeth in South Africa, required a lot of effort. Interestingly, the people in charge of their safety planned that the best way to transport the Penguins back to their habitat would be a commercial flight. How we wish we were there to witness it!
Bear King
Polar bears aren’t something you see or even expect to see in an airport, but this is not always the case in Alaska. Obviously, because of the extreme temperatures and conditions that aren’t in other places. What’s entertaining is how unruffled the bear in this photo actually seems.
It’s like he got dared by humans to come to this part of their world and didn’t even stop to think twice about it. The bear king came to conquer humans for his tribe bears. Suffice to say, passengers at the Alaskan airport on this day sure did enjoy a little more amusement than usual on this day.
Coming To You Live
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any creepier on the Internet, it does again. So Jasmine logged onto her social media while at the airport and must have hurriedly rushed off when her time to board came, forgetting to log out.
These two airport workers could have done an awfully much worse thing than take this goofy picture of themselves and leave her a message reminding her to remember logging out next time. It’s a good thing they weren’t malicious hackers or anything; Just two ordinary people looking to make their work more fun and gratifying. Better to still be more careful next time, Jasmine!
Your Friendly Airport Acrobats
Here's a classic case of minding one's business, but now this is two people's funny business at an airport that we can't help but meddle. These guys here decided to bring the aerobics to the airport and so far as you can see, it's going pretty well.
They could have been doing this for attention, like this precise one we're giving them or entirely for themselves, without caring what people will think or say. The latter excites us much. On the other hand, at least they managed to get people off of their phones for a minute and put a smile on their faces. Either way, it's a win-win!
But First Presents
Christmas is a fun time because we get to end our year with presents from family and friends, sometimes even from random people. These passengers must have been delighted when they went to pick their luggage but first found gifts on the conveyer belt instead. At that moment, these passengers could forget stressing over claiming their baggage and enjoying the Christmas spirit, all thanks to Spainair.
Let's not forget to mention that these surprise gifts were so thoughtful that the passengers will probably never forget this heartwarming moment. The world sure does need a lot more of this kindness. Now time to find that luggage, please.
A Pilot's Eye
Aren't women pilots simply amazing? This lady right here is a representation of beauty, experience, and brains. What we find amusing is of all the places she could sit pretty and pose for a picture on the plane, this lady pilot decided to take photos on the engine pit.
However, since this is none other than Swedish Maria Petterson, who not only loves flying planes but doing yoga around the aircraft, we'll excuse her for eccentric choice of backdrop. It's still a beautiful picture, and Maria's known to capture some truly jaw-dropping shots of herself at work that she frequently uploads on her social media, so do check it out.
The Beachy Runway
Maho beach is one of the busiest places in the Caribbean, with tourists flocking in and out throughout. Well, it isn't just sunbathing that is a popular activity on the shore, but we often spot sightseers waiting to catch a glimpse of the airplanes that fly overhead just meters above the land.
While some visitors try catching selfies with the jets, others are simply unmoved by the loud intrusion. From this image, it looks like a disaster could happen at any moment, yet surprisingly, the safety record at this beach is impeccable. This destination wouldn't be an ideal place to go if you are looking for a beachfront that's peaceful and quiet.
Get In Line Behind Grandma
It is not always what it looks like, as what may seem like a bunch of happy people posing for a groupie are, in reality, several individuals stuck behind the grandma. Given her age, it is understandable that the lady is walking at her own pace; Though not letting anyone pass ahead of her seems a little too extreme.
Luckily this happened when the passengers were getting off the plane, and anyways from the woman's expressions, it is evident that she seems to be unbothered by the crowd formed behind her. So at least the group did not get frustrated and decided to make the most of it by capturing this hilarious moment.
Nun Shall Pass
The airport security checks are a routine, and we understand its importance as it is a matter of security for the people in general. So when we see random passengers getting frisked for suspicious materials on them, it is surprising to see a nun having to undergo this process.
We are glad the TSA takes their jobs too seriously, but we assume, like us, many of you too would be stunned after looking at this image. So though this isn't something we expected, we believe the security did not find anything on the poor lady. Undoubtedly this religious woman wouldn't have thought she would have to wait a little longer before getting on the plane.
Prepare To Wait
Once at the airport, one has no option but to wait in long queues, whether at the baggage counter or the security check. While most of us have no problem waiting, in such cases, what is frustrating is standing in line when nature calls. As accurate as this sign is that as the waiting gets longer, the more difficult it gets to stand straight.
Since this Chinese airport fell short on the number of bathrooms, the authorities decided to at least make the travelers laugh with these signs. Yet, unfortunately, they didn't realize it gets harder to keep the bladder under control if one tries to laugh a little extra.
In Her Case
Sure we all prefer to save a few bucks, but this couple went an extra mile on cost-cutting. It looks like since the lady was leaving for a vacation, she decided to sneak in her partner in a bag to not pay for an additional ticket. They did get creative to avoid spending some cash, but their creativity ended up putting the man in an awkward position.
Also, did they think that the pair would pass through all the security checks without getting caught? We aren't sure what happened after the duo got busted, but we hope the man did not end up behind bars. At least now we know no one will attempt something like this in the future.
Finding Comfort Everywhere
Out of all the bizarre things we've seen in this list, sleeping at the airport isn't an unusual occurrence. Yet, the place this man lay to take a short nap isn't the ideal spot. Understandably, the individual got exhausted while waiting for his turn, so he decided to rest on the floor.
Lucky for him, the other passengers did not wake him from his deep slumber and worked their way around him. We assume the person is exhausted after a long flight and couldn't take it anymore, and that's why he could sleep so peacefully despite the noise and hustle-bustle in the vicinity. It would have been prudent if the man looked for an empty chair for his nap.
Wheels On The Free Way
The highway was made for all sorts of wheels, right? Well, we doubt that this creative pair set out to prove this point but it certainly is intriguing. The hustle of getting to the airport in good time, especially on a traffic-riddled day, can be nerve-wracking, to say the least.
This duo decided to hop on a motorbike and wheel the bag behind them. We have a feeling that the bag was not in stellar condition by the time they made it for the flight. We have to applaud the one who fashioned this solution though, he/she should get an award for thinking outside the box.
Come On, Let's Share
The plane runway in Gibraltar's international airport runs right through a busy highway. We imagine that this can be daunting, not to mention potentially dangerous, especially if an airplane needs to make an emergency landing and there are cars racing on the road.
Normally, traffic has to stop to allow for jets to take off, then a green light is given for motorists to resume their journey. This is probably vexing if a flight is scheduled at a time when one is running late for work. We can't imagine that it would be fun waiting. Seriously, whose design idea was this? We need to have a chat with them.
Carry-on Bag
Who knew that luggage bags with wheels were such good transport means? This little girl represents the mood of all travelers, especially during layoffs. She literally turned the suitcase into a mobile bed and the father is quite content to wheel her around as she naps.
This gives a whole new meaning to carry-on bags. We do not imagine that this is a trend that will catch on but it is quite genius of this lass. The next time we are exhausted by the endless queues at the airport we may be tempted to try this. Stranger things have happened; onlookers will not be too stunned, we hope!
Hey! That's Mine
Mass production of items has made all of us victims of confusion at some point in life. It is especially difficult to single out one’s luggage at the airport when the tag falls off. After a long flight, all anybody wants is to grab their bag and head out.
Well, the solution is simple really; for ease of identification, a bag with the person’s face will be easy to spot from miles away. Frankly, this looks a little extreme, the champ was probably gifted this carry-on by his friend in jest. Either way, he is not taking chances with his possessions anymore.
Full Body Shiners
As much as we want to think that this was gimmicky, turns out it really happened. Comic-con attracts all sorts of geeky crowds and this duo had some minutes to spare to get their armor polished. On this day, these shoe shiners became full-fledged body suits polishers.
It is not every day that one gets such customers; we imagine they had fun executing the task. Not to mention the money they made with the odd request. We suppose that it is a story the pair will tell for many years to come. It takes some serious commitment to pull this off but we certainly are glad it took place and entertained us.
No Adults Here
We cannot get over the fact that this grown-up man wore a onesie with penguins all over it for the welcoming of his parents at the airport. We suppose that it was necessary to tie up the look with the message on the board because he simply refuses to take up the adulting duties.
Mom and dad must have had a good laugh at this warm welcome and reminder that they are never off duty. We hope that they brought in some fancy cereals from their trip abroad otherwise this son will throw a tantrum. Okay, maybe that will be pushing it a little too far but we certainly are here for the dedication.
Timed Affection
Saying goodbye to a loved one before they travel can be quite emotional and at times people forget that time passes while they do that. This airport in Denmark came up with a creative way of solving the matter with a "Kiss and Goodbye" area and sign. The best part is the time assigned for each adios session; 3 minutes, that's what!
Luckily, this keeps traffic flowing without people lingering for lengthy sessions. It may feel like a short moment to people who really do not wish their significant others to travel but it sure is an effective system. More airports around the world should certainly adopt it.
No Straying
Anyone who has traveled with children knows how hectic the undertaking can be. The young ones, full of energy, would scamper about playing or just running around, and it takes a lot of patience to deal with them.
This lady thought up one of the unique solutions we have seen, tying her kids in leashes at the airport. While it might have worked for a short moment, the plan seems to be backfiring massively by the looks of things. Maybe she's better off letting them play until they're tired or giving them some toys to keep them engaged until takeoff.
Grounded Indefinitely
Like any other mode of transport, flights can be heavily affected by natural disasters, and when they strike, it means there will be no planes flying in or out. These people were on their way back home to Asia when terrible weather conditions rendered their aircraft grounded for a couple of days, and they all had to make do with the airport space like a hostel.
The travelers made makeshift beds using cardboard boxes and got some much-needed snooze time. The method seems to have worked, and while they look like they're homeless, at least they were warm and well-rested by the time the skies cleared.
Are We Secure?
For the most part, airports are considered among the safest places of any transport institution. The security checks are usually thorough to keep any malicious folks off of the planes where they can cause unprecedented damage.
Thus, when this image cropped up on social media showing a security guard playing a solitaire game on the PC, many people were shocked and angry at the same time. It's expected that the guards are on the lookout at all times, but it seems this one decided to take a break instead of checking the travelers' passports. It could be that there are two computers they use, and the game was a way of blowing off some steam.
No Charge, No Problem
Dealing with an empty phone battery can be a nightmare; imagine running out of power when waiting for your flight at an airport. The whole ordeal can be depressing as we're used to keeping in constant touch with our loved ones, and luckily, most airports have installed charging outlets.
Still, this person didn't think it was fair for the premises to bill him for charging his device, so he devised a funny way to get past the cost. He unplugged the outlet machine, then plugged in his gadget. This is a brilliant idea, to say the least, and we wonder if the management ever found out about his little trick.
May The Force Be With Us All
The 'Star Wars' film franchise is among the most popular installments worldwide, with millions of fans who religiously look forward to the next movie. Before the release of 'The Last Jedi,' these fans decided to put up a show when they went to get their friend from the airport, and it was an absolute beauty.
Clad in their Stormtrooper outfits, the lads showed up at the airport to welcome Darth Vader to their city, ready for the showdown. The folks indeed did steal the show at the premises, with everyone mightily impressed by their costumes and the 'Imperial March' routine.
Brother-In-Law Of The Year
This greeting is a very unconventional welcome, and we love it because it is hilarious. The awkward laugh the man's brother-in-law must have had when he saw the placard would have been one for the ages. Also, it takes a lot of guts to stand there for a very long time in front of everyone with a sign that says 'guy who knocked up my sister.'
We're certain some people may have given him weird stares, but the man chose to stay to the end. Nevertheless, one thing that stands out with this entire exchange is how close the man must be with his sister's husband to make such jokes in good faith - This is one loving family indeed.
Falcons In Flight
This photo is definitely one for the history books because it is not every day that we see countless falcons flying on a plane. Here, a Saudi Prince chose to pay for an entire flight for his 80 falcons, and honestly, this is such a massive flex for the prince and his birds.
Those birds must be so relieved that they do not have to use their wings to fly for a change; but instead, a giant mechanical bird is carrying them. Finally, we would like to send our regards to whoever had to clean the cabin when the falcons got off; that can't have been a pretty sight for sure.
Too Much Information
If there is ever a list of things not to be put on a welcome home banner, this would be at the top of said list. These children chose to welcome their mother home with a sign, and as the naughty people they are, they decide to pull a prank on her. Obviously, she probably immediately turned back as she saw it and wanted to dodge but alas, too late.
Nonetheless, this is a hilarious joke, and the mom should be glad she raised people with good senses of humor. Undoubtedly, we'll be taking notes from these little geniuses to use for our practical jokes.
New Mom Joy
Bringing new life into the world is such a beautiful thing, but it is not without its extra baggage (no pun intended) like the extra weight moms often pack on after giving birth. This weight may be an issue for some people, and they immediately try to revert to their post-pregnancy body.
So, it is adorable that this new mom instead made a joke about it herself with no hard feelings even though she still looks great. Also, the dad and family present must have had a good laugh about the whole thing, and honestly, all that matters is that both mum and baby are healthy.
Type Like It's The 1960s
Sometimes we see the strangest things when traveling, like these two people who somehow appeared at the same airport just a few weeks apart. These peculiar travelers choose to use a typewriter to type instead of a phone, a laptop, an iPad, or the other modern-day gadgets that are both portable and easy to use.
We would give anything to understand why they chose to inconvenience themselves and the airport security that was shocked to see them check in a typewriter. In addition, the guy by the left seems into the whole eccentric hippie indie writer vibe, and maybe that explains the typewriter.
Cele-bar-ation!
The original poster of this photo wanted to share how a friend was welcomed by her father, and all we can do is hope of getting such a warm greeting one day, too! Surely, not many people can come up with such unique ways to surprise their loved ones, especially parents.
It seems that the sweet man was really excited to have his daughter back, so instead of waiting until reaching home, he had set a stand to start celebrating already. But it's not just a simple bar arrangement; there's the spirit of National Margarita Day with a sign attached—how thoughtful.
Mass Driver
Now that's one smart way to make use of an opportunity. The driver must have considered that everyone at the airport may take the same exit route anyway, so why not have some random individual carpool with the person he has been appointed to pick?
On one hand, it's an attractive method of inviting a passenger; on the other, we're left thinking how blue-collar workers are stuck correlating earnings with every task in order to make a living! Well, here's to hoping that Alice agreed to cooperate in the given situation and this fellow took made enough on the job.
The Travelling Tot In A Trolley
Traveling around the world is probably the best way to bond with family, yet it's going to be quite a challenge if kids are in tow! Check out this father and daughter tandem in the picture—it seems their vacation is off to a hilarious start as his kid decided to hitch a ride in the most unique way possible.
This dad is probably excited to spend a day at the beach, so it's likely the reason why he didn't notice his luggage got heavy. Or better yet, maybe he's only pretending so his child can have all the fun she wants—that certainly makes him the coolest dad at the airport!
Too Tired To Care
Hanging out at airports can suck the joy out of anyone—not only is it boring at times but waiting for boarding after a long layover is often stressful too. This lady probably had enough of that and decided to take her much-awaited nap in the most convenient area she found.
What's interesting is that not even the airport security attempted to direct her to a sleeping lounge or maybe let her doze off in the waiting area! Oh well, perhaps no one wanted to disturb the grumpy passenger and risk facing her cranky mood before going on a long flight!
