Format
The Show involves the presenter, roaming around the airport (Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Dutch series and London Heathrow Airport in the British series) with a camera man asking members of the public in departures and arrivals who they are saying goodbye to at the airport, or welcoming home. The presenter looks for unusual stories and the show is edited with inspirational music in dramatic points of the show, usually when people say their goodbyes or meet who they've been waiting for.
