What could you do if you were delayed for 9 hours in Plovdiv Airport??

I've had a long think about this one and I reckon that I could pass the time by buying those big bags of crisps at 30 minute intervals.

BUT - can anyone think of something better??

We had 8 hours in that delightful establishment last year. Spent most of it sat on the tarmac next to the (broken) plane cos there wasn't enough room in the shed, I mean departure lounge, for 2 plane loads of passengers.

I would be tempted to watch the new plasma TV's in the new departure lounge! U guys are crazy..
I would though be tempted to try and get a good straw from the starbucks and some tissue, "U know what's coming" and try fire it at the security guard or any one who needed a cheering up. One thing I did one year was left my wallet on the coach, & was walked all the way back through the airport with a nasty bulgarian police man with his massive machine gun.

One thing I did one year was left my wallet on the coach, & was walked all the way back through the airport with a nasty bulgarian police man with his massive machine gun. When outside there were 15 coaches, all of which looked like mine, so it took me a good 45mins to get on and off of each one, great game, but a struggle on 4 hours sleep and a belly full of vodka! & only just made it back through and on the plane!!!!!
