Taking off Travel blog

At first glance, airport layovers can be a brutally boring experience, but with a little imagination and perspective there’s some fun to be had at the airport! As I sit here waiting for my flight, I decided to put together a collection of some of the funniest and most interesting airport videos on the net to give you a chuckle and maybe relieve some of the layover doldrums.

Acting Weird in the Airport

Layovers + Pure Boredom + Creative Editing = A quirky youtube hit!
