I'm stuck here at Helsinki Airport until about 6 am when I can get the first train to Oulu.

My Lufthansa flight from Prague was late, very late, 6 hours late.

What to do at an airport at 2 am

I've just remembered, you were the guy looking for people to sign up to be your friend a couple of months ago, so, here I am when you needed me

Go outside to where the taxis drop off and see how many times you spot the same one returning with another fare. That's how I passed a few hours at Athens airport last year. That and smoking and drinking coffee.

Sit down, close eyes and sleep for a while.....................but not so much that you miss the train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Bit late now but next time remember a little mindless vandalism helps. Be careful of CCTV cameras though.

How long have you lived in Finland now, CM?

When in, erm, Helsinki, do as the Finns!

i spent 15 hours in Brisbane airport last september.
I listened to the i-pod
ate some foul airport food
slept
got drunk
looked round the shops
went on tinternet
played some overpriced video games

and then in the second hour i realised that there was nothing left to do and stared into space for 14 hours

I spent 12 hours in Singapore airport a few years ago.

There was plenty to do, even in the middle of the night. I watched some sports in the sports area, had some very good airport food, then fell asleep in one of the cinemas (right next to a speaker).

Bit late to help you though, and your not in Singapore

Very late now but I recall a shop at Helsinki airport selling loads of Moomin stuff - can't go wrong with a Moomin!!!

My girlfriend would beg to differ - she finds them proper creepy!

Went on the internet on my laptop and found Gran Torino on the web, in full and with superb picture quality. Just like watching a DVD.

Brilliant movie!!

Undo and then redo your shoelaces. Repeat.
Sort out that belly button fluff problem.
You're in Finland: you'll be having just about as much fun as anyone else there.

I missed a connection and got marooned for 24 hours in Addis Ababa a couple of months ago. Ethiopian Airways put me in the Addis Hilton, which was old but nice. I enjoyed it but didn't sleep a wink all night thanks to the altitude.
