GUIDE TO ALL TYPES AT AIRPORT

- ANNABEL FULLER

There’s an interestin­g array of inhabitant­s to be found at our busy airports … just check out these familiar five varieties of wannabe high flyers WITH travel season upon us, it’s time to remember your adventure begins the moment you walk through the airport doors — here is your guide to the top five airport goers worth watching.

1. Coma Patients:

Not someone in need of urgent medical attention, but rather someone in transit who is so desperate for sleep they are willing to sacrifice all dignity and collapse in an unconsciou­s heap.

2. The Over Packer:

This person’s luggage is bursting at the seams, full of questionab­le souvenirs.

However, this person is also the one who forgets all essentials, most worryingly their passport.

3. The Soft-Texture Wearer:

Can be found across all means of transport but flourishes in airports — this passenger is layered with pashmina scarfs and cotton wraps. Leggings for pants and Birkenstoc­ks with socks can identify the look.

4. Mobile Office Slaves:

Frequently seen pounding the keys of their laptop, they’re not found in businesscl­ass lounges.

As the deadline of takeoff nears they rally the troops and join the queue of gate huggers.

5. Gate Huggers:

The moment your flight is announced they leap from their seats and swarm the gate entrance.

Inarguably the worst type of people at the airport.
