Answer

A chore is something you have to do that is like work and you don't enjoy. Many times it is a task given to children by their parents to help out with the household duties. In this case there may be no pay involved and the children would rather be playing. So in the sentence above going through the airport takes too long and is like work but you don't get paid and you don't enjoy it. You could substitute "tiring and boring" for "a chore"
