Airportler

Airportler is a term used to describe individuals who spend an inordinate amount of time at airports, often to the point where it becomes a significant part of their lifestyle. This can encompass a variety of reasons, including frequent business travelers, aviation enthusiasts, or people who find airports to be a comfortable and stimulating environment. Some airportler behavior is driven by necessity, such as long layovers or delays, while other instances are purely voluntary.

The motivations behind airportlerism vary. For some, airports offer a unique blend of activity and quiet observation, a place to work, relax, or simply people-watch. For aviation buffs, airports provide a close-up view of aircraft operations and a chance to immerse themselves in the world of flight. The amenities available at many modern airports, such as lounges, restaurants, and shops, can also contribute to their appeal as extended stay locations. While not a formally recognized condition, the term "airportler" is generally used descriptively rather than judgmentally, acknowledging a particular relationship with the airport environment.
