Half hour at the airport
August 6, 2010 12:20 AM Subscribe
I am picking the girlfriend up from the airport, we haven't seen eachother in about a month. We are going to hang out for a little while, because a good friend is flying in a half hour later - and we're her ride. What is something nice to do with her at Seatac before our friend lands?
The plane ride long and it comes in late, so I imagine she will be wiped out. But maybe she will have slept on the planes as she tends to do.

The parking building roof is basically deserted. Park there, in the middle of nowhere. Then start by kissing...

And hold her face in your hands, look into her eyes, and tell how much you missed her. Between kisses.
I think that should cover 30 minutes, all up.

Also, um, maybe a bottle of water or something? And flowers, obvs. (And kissing.)

Find somewhere quiet and secluded, as far away from the airport announcements as possible.
Hold her hands, tell her how much you missed her.
Hug her, hold her, take a deep breath and just gently hold her and relax for a while.
And then, yes, the kissing. And holding her face in your hands.
Things to have on hand for her in your backpack: a bottle of water, some food that you know she likes (in case she is hungry), and paracetamol/acetaminophen + codeine tablets in case the child behind her screamed the whole flight and she has a pounding headache.

I recommend a lot of kissing. A lot of public kissing if you both enjoy that sort of thing. But, a month away, seriously, a lot of kissing is in order.
Seconded. Keep an eye on the clock. Those 30 minutes will fly by.

About the flowers - it might be a nice gesture, but at an airport it becomes just another thing to hold onto. I recommend put them at home or in the car.

Man, if you're me you sneak into a handicapped stall somewhere and get jiggy with it.

If you're not feeling randy, you're pretty much out of luck. I don't think there's even a restaurant or Starbucks in the non-secure area.
You could bring your own picnic, complete with sparkling apple juice.

eh, just have a sex in a bathroom stall.
Easy!
Or, like, bring her a coffee.
One or the other.

Response by poster: Ha ha, okay, I suppose I should reword the question to what would be a nice way to greet her. Her favorite flowers are daffodils, but those are out of season. What would be some good flowers to bring? I am planning on going to the farmers market that morning to get fresh ones.
Best tips so far are leaving the flowers in the car (although I may take just one flower and trade it for her luggage), and bringing a small picnic.
