    Smash What is the longest you have been stuck in an airport?

    Four hours in Denver between flights reporting in. I have like two more hours to go and I am super bored.

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO WHEN YOU ARE STUCK IN AN AIRPORT?

    February 2012. Missed my 3:30 flight because I was in the middle of an interview that went three hours longer than I thought it would (and I didn't get the job goddamnit). Arrived at the Oakland airport at 5:30pm to find that there were no outgoing flights to Phoenix that were not a million dollars until the next morning at 6:30am.

    You haven't been through hell until you've spent the night (13 hours) on a cushion at the Oakland airport.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    About eight hours. I downed whiskey, ate french fries, worshipped vonnegut, and zoomed around an empty upper floor on a trolley.

    in an airport, not terribly long i don't think. 4-5 hours sounds right.

    i've really only been stuck overnight due to something that's been the airline's fault, so we got put up in a hotel on their dime. :]

    Actually being on the airplane is great but all the other extra stuff is pretty sucky.

    I had twice stayed overnight at an airport because my family had missed a flight both times.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I've posted this story so many times but: 48 hours, Newark Airport, New smurfing Jersey.

    What did I do? How did I survive?

    well

    let's just say that was the day I earned my user name. I still have PTSD and flashbacks about that trout.
