-Not to get overly personal or anything, but being in better shape helps too, even trying to work out the morning before you fly so youre more relaxed

hope that helps
Some good input but wouldn't probably help if the OP had a mtg run late or a flight run late making connection shorter.

And while not all the time, odds are an airline lounge is going to be cooler (a/c) & less people than an empty gate area (assuming one can find the latter).

I actually like the little handheld fan area, especially if one is backed up at TSA or it's taking a while to board the plane.

Cheers.
