This is one of the busiest travel weeks of the year in the US, and as a result airports are about as stressful as they get. There are long lines, flights are full, and people have places they need to go. So this is about as good of a time as any to share a…

Wow this just made my day! What a way to turn lemon into lemonade. Perfect video to watch this weekend while waiting at the airport. Thanks Ben!
How come Americans are always so angry at airports. Oh yeah, Trumps president.
I was hoping they'd break in to my favourite Newfoundland song, Dear Mr Ford, by Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers

This airport isn't in the US and it's a domestic flight in Canada…
cute video though
I'm in my annual holiday curmudgeon mood, so I'm going to take the contrary position that I find it very irritating when someone randomly decides to entertain people without their consent. This happened to me once at AMS in an interminably long security lineup when a very cheerful Dutch man started singing 60s pop tunes and wanted everyone to join in. I just wanted to peacefully and quietly wait my turn to go through security which was rendered impossible (as was reading, making a phone call, etc.) by all the unsolicited merriment. At least in this Westjet scenario a killjoy like me could have wandered off somewhere else until boarding was called; at AMS I was stuck in the line. It's obviously impossible in situations like this to do or say anything without looking like everyone's least favorite neighbor or relative, but for the record not everyone shares the same idea that an impromptu singalong is the best way to pass the time when delayed in an airport. Flame away at me...
@Drew, yes, curmudgeonly, but it is the holidays, so I wish you the best and enjoy your holidays (or don't, whichever you prefer).
As for us Canadians, we will keep enjoying ourselves. When we were at the 19-21 hour mark of a 24 hour delay/cancellation/rebook in Beijing, our four children (10, 12, 13 and 16) were still happy and kept themselves busy leading a sing along of the Shrek soundtrack while I was at the desk for 2 hours rebooking us (6 people in business class from Beijing to the US same day is not an easy get)
Ok. I an truly going to puke.
Im not on a high school field trip. Im not breaking out in song at an airport.
Stupid people.
@dan Allen you don’t have to, however they are not all miserable old bobolynes and cullions
Rather than procrastinating they enjoyed themselves
I had the pleasure of listening to an impromptu concert by a famous choir
@Drew. I concur. I can barely handle the SW flight attends and their “audition tape” performances.
You folks are ragging on people for having a good time and making the best of things? Good heavens how sad this is your view. Most of these folks were Newfies going home, so I'm sure 95% of them enjoyed it. Btw, I saw an interview with the accordian player, the man in the red shirt, and his Newfie accent was so thick he sounded like he he had never left Ireland.
Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers is the greatest name for a band that I have ever heard.
Those of you who had a problem with this... walk away! Perhaps rent a car and drive to your destination so that you can spend time by yourselves. Oh, wait! You'd rather us listen to how YOU have been SO inconvenienced because your life matters above all else.
