AirportSurfing - Random acts of kindness you can do while in an airport

  • Pay for a luggage cart for someone who didn't bring change
  • Look for people struggling with too much luggage or kids, and give them your cart
  • Buy someone a cup of coffee or tea
  • Offer to watch someone's luggage for them while they go buy something to eat or go to the bathroom
  • Offer to help carry someone's luggage for them (obviously, this works best if you look nonthreatening!)
  • Leave great books around for people to pick up and read
  • Strike up a conversation with someone who looks bored
