Many of us have witnessed unusual and even antisocial behavior in an airport or flight. These may change the floor or change from benign acts such as yoga to yoga in front of the screen system serious events early in the morning Drunk Disputes Or even the plane doors are trying to open the middle flight.

It worsened even worse problems, in recent years, the events of air wraths and flight diversity. Such events have caused calls to reduce or even ban alcohol sales in airports and planes. For example, called Ryanair For the two drinking threshold To stop drunken events on airport sticks.

What about the airports that force us to act differently? Let’s take a look at psychology.

Many strikers feel that the adventure starts at the airport, puts them in a different framework. They are eager to start a comfortable hedonism in one week or two.

Others are concerned about flying, which can move them outside the character or shelter in alcohol. The noise and crowd of the airport do not help. Like the area Environmental Psychology Demonstrated, a person is very sensitive to us around us, and can easily “be overloaded” by stresses such as crowds and noise.

Stress and anxiety create both temporary and continuous irritation. People who are usually disturbed are more likely to be angry. And a temporary mood of anxiety often leads to angry rage.

In my opinion, we should look at the airport a psychogeographic perspective. Psychogeography studies people’s emotions and behaviors, especially in the urban environment.

In Celtic cultures, there is a concept of “thin places” – there are holy ties or forests with the cover between the material and the spiritual world. In Thin placesWe are between the two worlds, nor are there in one place.

Airports in the modern technological world can also be seen as “thin places”. The limbs of the boundaries are the liminal zones. The literal level is resolved to national borders. After passing security, we enter any human-land between the countries. The concept of space is Hazy.

In a similar way, the time becomes a hazy concept in the airports. We are limited between zones twice to step on a plane, to slip or return to the past in time. Some flights such as the USA’s ATLANTA, before the time of leaving the month of time. Be able to handle our time Gives us a sense of control over our lives. Losing this can be another source of anxiety.

In other sense, airports are a zone where the present moment is undesirable. Everyone focused on their adventures before they came to the future, flights and their goals. This intense future focus often brings frustration, especially if flights are delayed.
