5 PEOPLE YOU MEET AT THE AIRPORT

Next time you’re
at the airport, you can pick them out to pass time and keep yourself occupied
while waiting to board the plane. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel
agency, shares 5 types of people you meet at the airport.
THE FIRST TIME FLYERS
They typically get swept off in the enthusiasm of their first flight
experience. They are sometimes clueless about certain aspects relating to the
flight (which is fine, since it’s their first time and we’ve all been there)
and they sometimes have a lot of questions to ask. Some also tend to get
excited about random events relating to the flight. They may or may not get
scared or hysterical at every turbulence and they’re the only people paying
attention when there’s a safety briefing on the plane.

THE LATE PEOPLE
They are those who are never on time for a flight, whose names are
constantly being announced a few minutes before departure. Sometimes, they get
left behind and sometimes they make the call, appearing suddenly on the plane,
looking stressed and/or panting and breathing heavily from having run all the
way.
THE SEASONED TRAVELLERS
These guys are fazed by nothing and are constantly wonderfully mellow
almost regardless of what happens during the flight. Come turbulence, come
smooth flight, they are hardly shaken. These category of people are typically a
little advanced in years (maybe 45 or 50 and above) and have been travelling
for a long time. They’ve learnt the art of staying calm and enjoying the trip,
not only the destination.
THE BUSINESS MAN OR WOMAN WITH TWO OR THREE PIECE SUIT
As the name suggests, these people are typically always in a suit of some
kind, are smart with their gait and casually display their ticket at the
counter while simultaneously talking loudly (and importantly) down at someone
on his/her shiny Samsung Galaxy S7/S8 or Iphone 7 or 7 plus. They are mainly
business class flyers, are known by almost everyone in the airport and navigate
the airport like it’s their backyard.
THE LIGHT TRAVELLERS
Those who travel to another continent with a tiny hand-bag like suitcase,
fall into this category. You sometimes look at them in awe and wonder if
they’re travelling or going for a sleepover. Then, you wonder how on earth they
do it when you compare your giant ‘ghana must go’ like suitcase to their
hand-bag like suitcase. These types of people are mainly men and you sometimes
might catch one or two stunned eyes on them.
