That drives me nuts.

Being a business traveler, I'm annoyed by almost everything vacationers do at the airport.

They take too long to check in
They hold up the line at security
They're lost in the terminal
They stand in front of the Departures/Arrivals board like zombies
They crowd around the gate, blocking the way onto the jetbridge while staring at their Zone 6 ticket
They bring bags onto the plane that clearly won't fit under the seat or in the overhead (plus they know nothing about different kinds of planes with regards to what's gonna fit)
They always "have to" get somewhere and it's the end of the world when there's a delay (for me, a delay means another round at the bar!)

I think "Up In The Air" should be required viewing for anyone who is getting on a plane. In fact, I'm going to contact the FAA, the TSA and anyone else who can help make this into a law. Who's with me?

I have been flying alone about 5-6 times per year since I was 12 so I know exactly what you're talking about. People come to an airport and go

Just remember the left lane rule......see a business traveler coming (you know the people that walk through the airport with a clear purpose) ask yourself.....am I in the way? If no....then great, carry on. If yes, then move the heck over!

100% agree. March spring breakers were a real test of my patience last month. I also dont understand how some of these people end up in the priority access tsa line.....they back it up to the point where I wouldve been better off going to the general boarding.

Also dont forget about exiting the plane. Business travelers are methodical, we get up grab our jackets and bag and walk off. Vacationers seem to forget where their bags are and where the exit is. After a long week and delayed flight, the last thing I want to do is wait longer on a tiny plane bc of their incompetence.

Dont even get me started on planes where you have to gate check/valet your bag....

I travel like I drive: I know where I'm going - I'll get out of your way if you stay out of mine.

Usually at airports I'm the guy walking faster than most.

My biggest annoyance is the people who are in the middle walking, walking, walking.....

STOP, look around, look around, look around

Yes, get off the racing line for godsakes!

Oh, right... another one for my list.
The people who stand on the "walk" side of the conveyor.

I like that attitude. Regardless of vacation or business, delay at the airport equals another round
