Spending time at the airport is almost never fun – unless perhaps you’re breezing through one of the top-tier U.S. airports. For most of us, airports have a special knack for driving us to the brink. Whether it’s their unbending rules or encounters with TSA officers having a bad day, airports are a breeding ground for annoyance. Besides, whether you’re flying on the worst travel day of the year or a random Tuesday, waiting in endless queues is a guaranteed way to waste time – time you could be spending on more exciting things, like shopping for luxury items in duty-free stores or indulging in the amenities of swanky lounges.
