Hurtling on a plane for hours and hours is usually exhausting. Not to mention standing in line, waiting to claim your baggage when all you can think of is a warm bed and a home-cooked meal. There is, however, an excellent way to make the welcome back the best part of anybody’s trip, and it involves going to an airport with a sprinkle of creativity and the best funny poster.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most unforgettable airport pickup signs—that everyone in the arrivals hall definitely noticed—to give you some inspiration for greeting your loved ones.
From a baby waiting to meet his parent for the first time to a family welcoming home their mom who was recently released from prison, these funny signs were full of feelings and comedy.
What is the best way to welcome someone at the airport for you? Have you ever made a funny or heartfelt sign for a loved one? We’d love to hear about your creative ideas and personal crazy experiences at the airport. Share them with us as you scroll down to take a peek at these funny airport signs!
