The reality of travel doesn’t always match up with the expectations. Going places is exciting. Thrilling. Addicting. But standing in a customs queue for 45 minutes? Well, not so much. Neither is waiting for a delayed plane, a cancelled flight, a lost bag. 

But it isn’t always bad. Amidst the chaos to-ing and fro-ing, waiting can be a welcome moment of still. Cue @peopleinairports. Originally curated by Pilot friend @takubeats, @peopleinairports is a collection of such moments. They show the beauty in the “in-between”. The beauty in anticipation. Who are these people? What are they waiting for? Where are they going?
