Better think twice about that Halloween costume at the airport

This weekend in the airports we will undoubtedly see Halloween junkies making their way in costumes around our world. Everyday people transforming their look for the celebration of that Halloween spirit. But, before you find yourself at the peak of your creative process and ready to head off to the airport in costume, here’s some last minute advice for you.

You may want to stay clear from these character ideas:

- Compulsive Gambling Air Traffic Controller
- Osama Bin Laden beard, obsessively taking pictures and notes
- Touchy-Feely TSA Employee
- Blind Pilot

Hooters AirThese may (or may not) get a better reaction for you:

Overly Happy Traveler – all you need is a T-shirt that says ‘Thank You’, a camera around your neck, and be wearing black socks with loafers and shorts. Tell every airport employee that comes across your path ‘Thank You’ and exude excitement for your travels.
Over-Sized Piece of Luggage – see if you can just ride the baggage claim belt for awhile and fit in the overhead compartment.
Hooters Girl – in full Hooters girl attire, wander the airport confused and asking all airport personnel, what happened to Hooters Air?

Happy Halloween!

Travel Gracefully.
