How about those of use who enjoy plane-watching (or people-watching) and who go to the airport for fun? Believe it or not, some of us actually go to the airport to watch or to photograph an international arrival or departure push, or to marvel at the operations of a large hub airline, or to meet a friend for lunch in a unique and exciting place. I can't count how many times I've gone several hours early to pick up a friend or family member. Believe it or not, not all of us view the airports as a hassle or a traumatic experience. Some of us find it exhilerating and fun!
