It's that time of the year again, folks! That oh-so-lovely time to book off a week or two to jet off to somewhere with high temperatures and sandy beaches...

As you'll have enough on your mind, like packing your hair brush and not forgetting your passport, we've compiled for you the top 10 songs you can listen to while waiting around at the airport, or bus station,
or train station...
Brian Eno - Music for Airports
Taken from the classic album Music For Airports, this 48 minute long album was released in 1978 and has still got it! Brian Eno knows his stuff when it comes to calming music, just check out our blog post about his healing sounds installation here. It's also great music to dose off to while on transit!
Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams - Lose yourself to dance
We know, we know... Get Lucky is THE tune of the summer and we all still have it ringing in our ears, but this second Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams collaboration is amazing! Lose yourself to dance!
Justin Timberlake - Strawberry bubblegum
The lyrics to this song start with: "it was such a mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow day..." That's all you really need when waiting at the airport, for Mr. JT to sing those words to you, right? No? Just us then.
Pharrell Williams - Happy
Why would you not want to listen to this awesome Despicable Me soundtrack while waiting at the airport? Happy is exactly how this rhythm will make you feel.
Justin Timberlake - Take back the night
Second entry for Mr JT we just can't help it, the trumpets on this song will keep you awake while you're waiting to board your plane.Elton John - Border song
Just a great song to jam to generally... but especially at the airport!Ellie Goulding - Burn
Not a UK number 1 for nothing... That is all. Just listen!Arctic Monkeys - Why'd you only call me when you're high?
The title of the song is slightly trippy, the band's frontman Alex Turner explained "We took a Dr. Dre beat from like 2001, gave it an Ike Turner Beatles bowl cut and then set it off galloping along on a Stratocaster into a liquid live show."Rudimental - Waiting all night
Since you've been waiting all day to board your aeroplane, might as well listen to a song that expresses this: I've been waiting all night!
