[quote=Anonymous]Planned layover? I'd be willing to do 10-12 hours because if you know ahead of time you can do things like book a room at the airport hotel and hit the pool, or just leave and go to a restaurant or mini golf or something nearby. A longer layover is actually easier in this scenario because you have time to leave and come back and go through security. A 4-5 hr layover is the worst because there usually isn't time to leave and you're just stuck there.

Unplanned is brutal though actually the last time we got stuck at an airport for 5+ hours, our elementary age kid did the best of everyone because she's still young enough to be totally enamored with airports and thought it was so fun when we, for instance, posted up at an overpriced restaurant for 2.5 hours in a booth and played cards while ordering round after round of appetizers and drinks. She also loves going shopping in the airport stores. She did eventually get cranky but that's because we didn't board a plane until 11pm (original flight which was canceled had been schedule for 2:30, delayed twice, then cancelled, then we were standby for a 7pm flight and then finally wound up on the 9pm which was delayed until 11pm). But even with the late night crankiness, she was definitely the least unhappy of all of us. She also passed out right after take off whereas the rest of us cannot sleep on planes.[/quote]
