If you are one of the many people that are flying responsibly and getting to the airport on time, you might find yourself twiddling your thumbs at the airport for a couple of hours or more. There are many different ways to pass the time at the airport but some are more productive than others. Some airports in the UK are especially equipped to pass the time at the airport.
If You Are with Children
Many airports come with amenities for children. These can include play areas, games, free coloring and so on. This also helps ensure that kids are tired out and quiet throughout the flight.
Eat
Eat at one of the airport restaurants before your flight instead of waiting for the potential case in which you MIGHT get plane food.
Go to the Spa
More and more airports are opening spas for fliers. While you wait for the time of yet another flight delay to pass, treat yourself to treatments such as massages, facials, manicures, pedicures or waxes.
Get a Yotel
Yotels are Japanese capsule-style hotels that you can reserve hourly for a nap to pass the time at the airport. You can find these yotels at London Gatwick, London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol. Each of the rooms is comparable to a first-class cabin and offers ensuite bathrooms, free wi-fi and entertainment systems.
Get an Upgrade
The best place to be to land a seat upgrade is the departure gate. Many times, privileged seats are kept open until the aircraft is ready to board.
If you are planning a trip, you may want to look into reserving vacation rentals rather than hotels. Vacation rentals are a comfortable, spacious and more affordable alternative to hotels.

So before your flight, you do everything you are supposed to do with plenty of time. You are packed, ready to go and even called the airport before you arrived an hour early.
Then, it turns out that your flight has been delayed four hours and you could’ve spent some time hanging out, stopping to eat somewhere or just relaxing and watching TV. What can be done to avoid this inconvenient situation? Text alerts can often arrive too late. There is a new tool called FlightCaster (flightcaster.com) which uses a formula along with real-time data from FlightStats, the National Weather Service and 10 years of historical flight information to form a highly accurate flight status prediction up to six hours before takeoff.
An hour before your flight, your airline and FlightStats may state that your flight is on time while FlightCaster will inform you that its flight status prediction calculates that there is an 8 percent chance that your flight is on time, 47 percent chance that it will be delayed less than an hour and 45 percent chance that it will be delayed more than an hour. FlightCaster flight status prediction is currently available only for domestic travel.
