Twitter
Waiting at the airport since your flight got delayed? Not even a single interesting eye-candy around to ogle at? Not a problem, fix your eyes on your smart phone and let Twitter do the rest for you! Twitter is a great place to hang out if you’re getting bored and don’t seem to have anything worthwhile to do. Create your Twitter account and see what your favorite celebrities have been up to, by following them. Follow your favorite authors and see what they have to say about their latest releases. Stay tuned with the news platforms you like and keep yourself updated with the latest happenings in the country and worldwide. If you’re still getting bored, tweet to your friends about how bored you are and how much you hate your airlines for delaying the flight – maybe that will make you feel a tad lighter!

Pandora
Don’t fancy reading while you’re waiting? No problem, maybe listening to some good music would do you good! Listening to music is yet another great way to kill time while you’re waiting at the airport. Pandora is an incredible music application that lets you listen to songs from your favorite artists. Users can choose from a number of amazing radio stations, ranging from genres such as alternative, jazz, country, rock, jazz, and so on.
