Are you making the most of your time in transit? Airports are often labyrinths designed to make people waste time – but you don’t have to. If you are travelling for work, here are five tips for how to use your time wisely
Airports are difficult places to work in. They are often labyrinths designed to make people spend money and generally waste time. But for most business travellers, being in transit is a precious opportunity to get some work done.
Transit time doesn’t have to be dead time. If you plan things well, you can get ahead on your emails, or work on a presentation at the airport (or on the plane), hopefully making for a more relaxed return. Here are some ways you can travel on your own terms and make your next business trip more productive.

You spend time checking out your destination and travel itinerary, but how well do you know the airport you are about to spend several hours in? GateGuru is a TripAdvisor-owned app that features navigation tips and information for airports, such as charging points and amenities.
It also includes estimated security wait times, calculated by monitoring how long other users have waited recently, as well as details of your gate, and your departure and arrival times.
