     If you are traveling alone, the General Waiting Area is a place where you can wait and visit with the people who take you to the airport.  These people can't go into the Restricted Area because that is only for passengers with tickets.   

General Waiting Area

     If you are traveling with your family, you probably won't spend so much time in the General Waiting area.  People with tickets often go to the Restricted Area to do most of their waiting so that they are nearer to getting on the plane.  Don't worry--there are neat things there, too!

    We enjoyed the General Waiting area.  When we took our tour, we loved the shopping and food places and did not expect that there would be so many choices.  In larger airports there are even more. 

   We thought the TVs were really neat.  They cost money, so it's a good idea to bring change if you plan to use them.  Way cool!

Cool TV

TV

     There are usually big windows where you can watch planes taking off and landing.  This is a good time to read, listen to CD players or a Walkman, watch the planes, or use some of the printable  activity sheets from our Fun n'Games page.  

     We liked the shops and picked up some cool souvenirs while we were there.  Please remember that when we are home, our parents always tell us, over and over, not to talk to strangers and not to go off alone.  This doesn't change in the airport.  If you follow the SAME 'stranger' rules you follow at home, you will be safe in an airport.  Don't go anywhere alone--even to the really neat gift shops.
