It’s 12 pm and the airport is bustling with great vibes that match yours. Tickets are handy and the boarding pass tucked away in the pocket. Sigh, you are early as ever (rare species) and got hours to pass by before the flight. Going the air pod way makes so much sense, isn’t it!
But then, airports aren’t the usual music-listening space. It’s not like your playlist for a slow drive to work or morning workout or evening songs to sleep can make do here. The mood high on holiday-emotion could also be anxiety right before tackling that essential work interview meeting.
Just how, there isn’t one size fits all in shoes, there shan’t be one playlist that satiates all thy musical cravings. Injustice, much?
We at CarterX spend so much time swinging by the airports, lifting, carrying, and transporting your well-stacked airport luggage. But could we do it without some music, hell, no!
Music is a journey and with the right playlist one can enjoy the airport sojourn vibing with every beat. Airport travel playlist is a must, just as must as a long drive playlist to your favourite destination.
Whether it’s a slight detour or a connecting flight delay or a weather matter leading to vibe-killing delays, these playlists are life savers. There are some songs that might just make you forget where you’ve come from and where you are going.
Isn’t that what they say about it – It’s the journey, not the destination!
Hit it off then with these special recommendations and thank us later!
1. Classic Elton John – Rocket Man
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
Yes, we are grooving too, right now! This classic English number never fails to build up energy at the airport. Certainly, we aren’t off to Mars yet. Maybe, one day, airports would do that for us too but until then, go with the flow and add this on your number 1.
- Gold for Goodbyes – Leaving On A Jetplane
If your airport visit is synonymous with a farewell and hearts are still aching, lending ears to John Denver’s Leaving On A Jetplane can be a soother for the soul. A song filled with love and hope, it may not fix the pain but an overdose of on-loop rush might just make you repulsive to the idea of love. Antidote, we say! Works sometimes, try much?
- Solo Searchers – Phir se Ud Chala
This Hindi number from Imtiaz Ali’s cult film Rockstar is all about solo travels – for real and in the heart. An ideal number for all first-time solo travellers or any-time solo flyers, it pumps up the insides like none else. Fast, groovy beats and soulful lyrics – the kind of stuff good music is made of.
- Lost at the airport – Musafir Hoon Yaaron
The classics never fail! You can have this ‘musafir’ with you when you are having a hard time searching for your gate number at the very expansive airport terminal. The old number with profound lyrics might just speak to the wandering soul within.
- The Journey Song – Piku
The title of the song says it all. It’s the journey song and instantly tunes your mind to what is coming ahead. This song is apt for curing the boredom of long airport queues. Although, you even have the option of enjoying this number all by yourself while CarterX lugs your bags for you from your doorstep to destination.
Oh yes, we have our own playlist to do so! Let us know if you’d like some global or regional numbers added to this playlist too. We will cart it soonest to our blog here!
