I don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.
@tiffanycli Heh. I thought I had three hours at a cafe during a layover but forgot about time zones AND the flight boarded early. It was dumb luck I looked up and saw it on a screen. I have been forever paranoid about time in airports ever since.
