40 Embarrassing Airport Arrival Signs That Left Travelers Speechless

While air travel has an aspect of excitement to it — cruising at an altitude over 30,000 feet is pretty awesome — the whole song and dance you have to do at the airport can be such a drag. That's why it's always great to see a familiar face once you land to help with the chaotic atmosphere. Sometimes, however, the friends and family you're eagerly waiting to see come prepared with a sign that makes you want to board a return flight immediately!

1. A Galactic Welcome Home

This is what happens when your parents are huge Star Wars fans. They break out their best Stormtrooper and Jawa Halloween costumes to give you one of the nerdiest welcomes in a galaxy far, far away.

2. New Is Better Than Old

It's not every day someone can congratulate you on receiving a new part of your large intestine. The cheeky smile on this girl proves she has no problem putting her friend's invasive surgery on blast. However, someone might need to learn boundaries!

3. No Shame In Their Game

Wow! These parents must be pretty confident in Katie's ability to take a joke lightly to flash a sign like this around a room full of strangers. They seem super proud of their work, so let's just hope their daughter can smile as wide as they can when she sees it.

4. Gotta Love Best Friends

Apparently, this guy Brad wasn't even expecting any sort of airport welcome. But, how could his best friends not come to show their enthusiasm for his arrival back home? Leave it to your buddies to publicly paint you out to be a loser.
