Here are a few of the MOST productive activities for you to do while waiting
Get Some Work Done: How often at the office are you presented with such a no-distraction, no-coworker fantasy? If there’s a quiet space or you’ve got headphones consider this a great time to squeeze in a couple of extra hours of work.
Catch Up on Emails: We’ve all got them, dozens of unopened forwards and requests just sitting in the inbox for “when we get to them.” Waiting on your flight is a nice time to read through and organize, particularly if you can’t focus enough to get actual work done.
Update Your Music: Download some new tunes for the flight and go ahead and update your music device while you’re at it. The connections at airports (and your own 4G card) are usually quite fast so you can download all you like.
