During the 1930s, New York City’s sole commercial airport was located in New Jersey. In a bold act of protest, NYC Mayor LaGuardia refused to disembark in New Jersey when his ticket read “New York City,” compelling the pilot to fly him to NYC instead. This event highlighted the pressing need for a proper airport in the city, and eventually led to the construction of LaGuardia Airport, which opened in 1939 and now serves as a vital transportation hub for millions of passengers each year
Hysterical Memes About Traveling and Spending Time at the Airport
You see every cross-section of society at the airport. Young, old, all nationalities, all genders, all races.
Of course, you take the good with the bad when you travel. Because on top of the excitement of getting to see new places and new faces is the unfortunate reality that people can be annoying and traveling can be a big hassle.
And that’s why these memes make perfect sense!

It’s True: Bill Murray Applied to Work at a P.F. Chang’s in the Atlanta Airport
Just when you thought Bill Murray couldn’t get any cooler…
The man is full of surprises, isn’t he? But before we get into this amazing story, let’s do a quick review of the 69-year-old actor’s great films: Stripes, Meatballs, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, What About Bob?
The list never ends…
But back to the big story. On a recent episode of Amy Schumer’s podcast 3 Girls, 1 Keith, Murray was asked what job he’d like to do besides acting. He said, “I did fill out an application at P.F. Chang’s at the Atlanta airport, because I think that’s one of the great places. It looks like the best time.”
Of course, Murray’s comments went viral and the restaurant chain itself responded to the story. Looks like he has a job waiting for him if he wants it!
Bill, you're hired! When can you start? #billmurray https://t.co/1VOAbguvsO

On the same podcast, Murray also admitted his love for Family Feud. He said, “I’m going to give you my little secret — I record it. I can come home and I have recorded 61 episodes of ‘Family Feud,’ because it’s on all day long. It’s on all day long and by law it has to be on all day long. But then, what I do is I take the time to fast forward in each episode all the way to Fast Money. Cause that to me is the excitement part of the show. I skip the early rounds because I don’t always respect their tactics.”

This Woman Wore 5 Pounds of Clothes to Avoid Extra Luggage Fees at the Airport
Heroes don’t always have to wear capes…
In this case, it was just a whole lot of extra clothes in order to avoid extra baggage fees at the airport. I think we can all honestly say we’ve thought about trying this before, but we just didn’t have the guts to give it a shot – although I have actually seen my friend Dan throwing clothes and other items from his bag into the garbage to avoid those pricey extra charges, so you can always go that route, too.
But that’s not what Gel Rodriguez did. Nuh uh. She bucked the system, took things into her own hands, and became a legend in the process. Well, at least she’s a legend to me.

Rodriguez was taking a flight from the Philippines when she found out her carry-on luggage exceeded the maximum weight limit. And you know what that means: more money in the pockets of the airlines via extra baggage fees.
The limit was 15 pounds, and Rodriguez’s bag was nearly 20 pounds…so she did what she had to do. She packed on 5 pounds of clothing, layer after layer, to get her carry-on bag to the correct weight limit so she wouldn’t have to dish out that extra cash.
That’s called going above and beyond, people.
when the airline staff at the check in counter said: “EXCESS NA PO KAYO, 7kg lang po allowed na hand carry.”me: NO PROBLEM!
*from 9kg to 6.5kg baggage

Can we name an award after this woman, please?
Thankfully for all of us, Rodriguez took a photo of the iconic photo and posted it on Facebook. Sometimes, social media really can be used for good…
