Important to remember that people are safe, though delayed at the airports. It's not as if people are marooned on a desert in Eithopia.

it's probably dang boring and tiring to be hanging around for more than 1 day in an airport with not much to do. It would be like being in a shopping mall for several days and no where to go.

At least there are plenty of washrooms, places to eat at an airport..if they choose to stay there vs. go elsewhere in city.

I've been stuck at a small aiport in the Canadian Arctic for 8 hrs. while a massive blizzard blew through. It was serious since no planes could land properly. So I amused myself with my book, watching people. There wasn't much else to do because the airport was tiny, hence no shops except for 1 to look at. I ended up chatting with an Inuit mother with her baby for a short while.
