How to Hitch a Ride Through the Airport
We've told you about hitching a ride to the airport, but today we are teaching you how to hitch a ride through the airport.
Now, we've had the misfortune of having a layover in Houston's gigantic airport several times and each time, our connecting flight was in a terminal that was at least a mile away, walking. Or it felt like it was and it took us about 15 minutes to walk it.
On the third time we had such layover in Houston, we decided to hitch a ride on one of those airport trams that go zooming by. Yet when we asked the driver for a ride, he looked at us and fiercely shook his head. This happened to us--no joke--twice.
Recently, we had another layover there and right in front of us the tram stopped to let on some old people and a man with crutches. So we quickly hopped on the back and caught a ride to our terminal.
This video we shot here was actually taken at Newark International Airport and again, we hitched a ride when some grandparent-types stopped the tram.
So if you want to hitch a ride, find some old people or people on crutches and in wheelchairs and you should be able to swing it. Also, the drivers expect some sort of tip after the ride is over, so make sure you have some ones handy.
Insider Tip: Despite what our passenger on the video says about "gliding on air", make sure you hold on tight as these drivers go pretty fast. We almost fell off the back twice.
