I actually enjoy these types of places nowadays.... The airport, and especially train journeys- because I get forced free time! I get to read books that I never make time for in my busy weeks. This is different to free time like when you have a whole day free, because then I find myself doing chores or just sitting watching tv ti numb out from the week. I actually miss living o. London, because there I knew i was guaranteed at least 30mins on the train where I could read!
Oh, agreed, Amber, there are good uses for that forced free-time! Yet it's the stress of bouncing back-and-forth between urgent near-panic and random amounts of unplanned spare-time (such as the two-hour delay on my return-flight...) that can make things hard - though I guess you have a more stress-tolerant temperant than I and most other passengers have! :-o :-)
