Many airports feature stunning galleries and installations. From Delhi to Amsterdam, these art spaces bring a slice of local culture to your journey. It is a free and quiet escape.

Airport lounges are not just for business travellers. You can buy a day pass and relax with Wi-Fi, food, a drink, and even a quick spa session. Comfort makes waiting fly faster.

Skip the usual café. Try local dishes - it could be butter chicken rolls at Delhi or ramen at Tokyo. Sampling regional food can be a delicious way to spend time before take-off.

Use the downtime to read, watch a show, or listen to music. Sometimes, the best way to make the wait enjoyable is by switching off and giving yourself a quiet moment.
