Airports are a place like no other, and we'll also tell you why. They have long served as gateways to our adventures, places where a vacation or a new life begins before we've even stepped foot in our destination. But have you ever paused during your endless airport navigation, with your carry-on suitcase in tow, and realized that airports are, quite frankly, a peculiar kind of chaos?
It's where reality bends a bit and all social norms seem to crash against a bit of turbulence, giving life to hilarious airport moments. Pajamas in public? No problem. Vodka at 8 AM? Nothing weird here. A grown man sprinting like he's in the Olympic finals just to make a flight? All totally ordinary sights, which is why airports are often seen as some kind of lawless place, where "being inappropriate" is a pretty much subjective concept.
People who fly through airports on a regular basis have seen some pretty incredible things — things you might not believe if we told you about them. So why not let these crazy airport pictures speak for themselves?
The internet has graced us with so many funny airport pics, and we won't deny that we spent an unhealthy amount of time scrolling through the ones we selected for this list.
Ensure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position, and prepare for takeoff. Our voyage through the funniest travel moments is about to begin! From outrageous sleeping positions to the most unusual carry-on items (we're looking at you, man with a full-size desk lamp), this is travel humor at its finest.

At The Airport Tonight And After Sitting Began To Hear The Soft Sound Of Reading Aloud (With Voices!)
"This man is reading the lord of the rings to his children and it reminded me of my mom. I hope to be that kind of parent someday."
Lee Kerr 1 year ago
My, now adult, son is on the autistic spectrum. It's always been hard to know what he's capable of and his reading ave at school was way behind his interests. I was still reading him bedtime stories at 15; I got right through the Lord of the rings and was on the 5th Harry Potter book when I realised the book mark had been moved. He normally used the PC in the evening but since the internet was down he'd decided to read instead. He was perfectly capable of reading to himself, it just hadn't occurred to him to do it. What he actually struggled with were books which didn't interest him and reading aloud.

We met my older brother once at the airport with a singing telegram. It was priceless. This woman comes racing towards him wearing a robe and shower cap. He tried like heck to dodge around her but she caught him. She kept apologizing for being late and when she caught everyone's attention she dropped the robe to reveal a bikini, took the cap off and shook out her long hair and proceeded to belt out a belated Happy Birthday song. He was mortified! It was great.
