Top tip. Put everything you can in your bag before you get there, including your belt/sunglasses etc.. it's not rocket science.

Just arrive a bit earlier.. I can never understand the rush. First on or tenth on, the plane leaves at the same time..

Now the very very late ones who hold up the plane and risk losing the take off slot.. that's a little inconsiderate.. maybe these are the ones frustrated by the dawdlers..

9 times out of 10 the ones you see speed walking through an airport are the ones who've sat in the bar for pre flight drinks, oblivious to the fact their flight is taking of in 10 minutes until they eventually hear their name being called on the p.a.

And if you bothered reading on, you ask politely if they'd mind stepping aside to allow you through. It's not rocket science. Who knows, they may even move over, thus allowing you to arrive at your destination a whole minute or two earlier than planned.

Not a chance, if you let them pass you know that at the next counter they are the ones who forgot their passport / boarding pass, or forgot to take the bomb out of their rucksack... Make them wait!

I bet they are the same people that stand up on the aircraft as soon as the seat belt sign goes off. Haul their bags out of the overhead lockers and wait for the next 15/20 mins while I snooze in my seat.

Have you thought perhaps they have an issue that means they need to step on properly. I have a daughter that needs to time it just right and with her cognitive ability takes a moment to make that step. The amount of people that have tutted or huffed or been out right rude is ridiculous.. worse as she always wears a lanyard with a "Im disabled " sign on it

What really gets my goat is people's lack of patience at things that aren't really an issue and may cost you seconds.

my daughter will often just stop dead at the top.. as she realises she was going to step on with her left foot instead of her right. If she does there is a chance she may fall.

I also know someone who is actually nervous of them.. and he will also often stop. If people were more accepting and less in a rush the world would be a nicer place.

Yes but people shouldn't assume getting on is easy. We take for granted that its just a case of stepping on... but i can assure you for many many people it takes a moment or two... and it doesnt really hurt people.. if a little personal space was given then there would be no bumping into others.

I will go as far as just sitting on a platform for a bit with my daughter or in a coffee shop and wait if our trips coincide with rush hour so as not to bump into rushy people.

But I dont see the point in rushing any where

Depends, some places for alcohol, some for cigarettes dead cheap, others for more luxury items. I think Heathrow is still one of the better ones that I go to. Hong Hong and Dubai is a fantastic airport but mainly luxury items.

"So called duty free prices which are often a rip off.

I love the perk of shopping at the airport before I go to work each week. Most things are not a rip off.

I get 20pc off Duty Free

I only get a discount off the stuff on my plane or discount around the world in duty free, not uk though

Oh I just pop upstairs and get it.

I still find Home Bargains cheaper on aftershave though.

Too many people cheated the system a few years ago and now a lot of stuff isn't worth it.

I got mates who exploit the tobacco. Their in trouble if they get caught"

We would get the sack if over our allowance, it’s not worth it.

Aah sorry . I find UK airports flying out not great but many flying back are ok but I tend to buy duty paid in the country which is often good value. Iceland duty free was excellent for alcohol..

Even worse-those that have to evacuate an aircraft in an emergency and selfishly start taking their wheelie bags and handbaggage with them thus delaying the process with the risk of endangering people's lives even further.

No encourage them. Tell them to take their time.

We can avoid them in the supermarkets then as that's when they are at their worst."

I go to Hong long lots and get annoyed by the vast amount of slow walkers there. They are definitely not fat. I walk too fast and I’m not slim. I too get irked at airports as I work on the planes but I see all sizes dawdling. There are many other things that bug crew us about travellers than slow walkers.

Disagree with that, especially in Hong Hong. One of my favourite cities in the world. The people are very welcoming. Been going there regularly for 21 years now and never bored.

I love the perk of shopping at the airport before I go to work each week. Most things are not a rip off.

Does depend on the airport though. Copenhagen is ridiculously expensive.

I only do long haul work so don’t go there thankfully.

Which is your favourite for bargains then?

Depends, some places for alcohol, some for cigarettes dead cheap, others for more luxury items. I think Heathrow is still one of the better ones that I go to. Hong Hong and Dubai is a fantastic airport but mainly luxury items. "

Haven’t been to Hong Kong for 12 years but I agree about Dubai and Heathrow. Although I really dislike Heathrow if things go wrong, that’s nothing to do with finding bargains though

Munich can be really good at times and Malpensa is often really good value for booze as well as some interesting clothing.

I walk quite fast but never as fast as Londoners !!

I remember the first time I arrived in London, I have to squeeze myself and walk close to the wall to avoid the bustling 'traffic' of rushing people . Some of them are on stillettos - I am truly amazed and impressed at their athleticism.

I pity them though - always rushing and running and seems to chase something (the tubes I assume).

.

I love people watching in the airports and train stations.

Many people will adjust their way, if politely asked, possibly given a reason - such as you are at risk of missing someone's death, which is why you have taken an emergency flight to say a final goodbye etc. If enough prompts to change are given, it can influence people to reevaluate their habits.

I recently had an connection at Doha. Got off my inbound flight only to find my next departing flight was from the gate next to me. I had a 4 hour stop over.

I think it’s only when you have less than and hour to make you connection do they insist your departure gate is 3 x inter-terminal train connections and a 4 mile walk away!
