  SAN DIEGO, CA, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Thousands of flights have been cancelled at the last minute in just the
past week, which means thousands of travelers are finding themselves spending
much
more time in an airport than they planned. To alleviate some anxiety, and help
these travelers make the most of this unexpected "time off," CSA Travel
Protection offers stressed-out travelers some resourceful tips for keeping
themselves
entertained while stranded at the airport.

    Creative Diversions When Stranded in an Airport


1.  Hound your CPA to finish up your tax return so you can get your
    refund earlier.
2.  Create intriguing, soap opera-like background stories for other
    waiting passengers.
3.  Play the "count the Starbucks(R) in the terminal" game.
4.  Count how many times in one hour you hear the "do not leave your bags
    unattended" announcement.
5.  Count how many people you can get to smile back at you.
6.  Check the payphones and vending machines for change.
7.  Count -- and admire -- bad ties.
8.  Hog all power outlets by charging your phone, laptop and iPod at
    the same time.
9.  Buy $15 margaritas and $10 sandwiches for all your "new friends."
10. Return all the unclaimed smart carts.

    
CSA Travel Protection knows this is one of the most difficult and
nerve-racking times for both business and leisure travelers. While travel
insurance can't stop the unexpected from happening, it can protect and
support travelers when mishaps occur, such as flight delays and missed
connections.
