  • The airport layovers are the perfect place to start reading an interesting book. Whether it is a book that you´ve been wanting to read since a long time ago or a book that caught your attention at the stores of the airport, reading is always a good option to kill time. Pick a comfortable couch or chair, buy a cup of coffe and relax, but be aware of the time, we don´t want you to miss your flight.  Solving crosswords or playing Sudoku are also good options to exercise the mind while killing time.

This shops are also a great option to buy little gifts for family and friends.

 

  • If you have a really long layover that allows you to go out and explore the most important spots of the city you are in, DO IT.

Once you´ve done that, head out and star exploring the city. Be aware of the time that the flight departs and take precautions.
