With the holidays in full swing, there's a lot of people who've been spending a lot of time in airports and on airplanes. Given that I go to school halfway across the country from where I live, I've had my fair share of airports in the recent weeks. As such, I've seen several different people that tend to show up on every airplane/in every airport.
1. The Worker
They're always on their laptop/tablet, they brought their own wifi, and they never looked up from their computer screen, even if you're taking off/landing.
2. Grandma
They're visiting their grandkids in Massacheutts, and they always have a big purse(it's gotta be filled with sweets).
3. The College Student
Characterized by a huge bag, a college sweatshirt, and a newfound lack of humanity.
4. Mom
She's chasing her kids around the airport while they're screaming, and if they get on the plane, they cry...the. whole. time.
5. The Business Man

He's wearing a suit, he's got a briefcase, and he's probably flying first class.
6. First Class Snob
They only ever sit in first class, even if the flight is thirty minutes.
7. The Frequent Flyer
They fly a lot, they know what they're doing, and you can bet your butt they be sure you know that.
8. The World-Class Traveler
They always have their passports, they're always on a connection, and they're always leaving the country.
9. The Hipster
You can tell this one only by their outfit. Scarfs, fancy jacket, weird glasses, and a stylistic carry on. And, um, please be careful with it when I go through security.
10. The Unaccompanied Minor
">
Anywhere from five to seventeen, this one holds up every line because of paperwork.
11. The Group of Friends
They're traveling together, they have to sit with each other, and they're always loud.
Love it or hate it, we all fit in one of these categories, and have dealt with all of the rest. Good luck, and safe travels.
