The Delta Air Lines archive manager posted this cute, classic 1939 ad for holiday travel on the Delta Air Lines blog.
Unfortunately, bad weather means that lots of people who had planned to fly somewhere this holiday are ending up stuck at the airport instead. But let’s hope the mother and child in the ad got where they were going.
Lots of folks have been spending a lot of time stuck at the airport over the past few days. Me too. But lucky for me I wasn’t too far from chocolate….
Just in time for holiday travel, luxury chocolate maker Vosges Haut-Chocolat has opened a lovely and oh-so-tempting chocolate boutique at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
In addition to exotic truffles and other treats, Vosges has a wide variety of intriguing chocolate bars, including an organic peanut butter bonbon bar, organic enchanted mushroom candy bar, and a bacon and chocolate bar.
In some parts of the country the buzz at the airport has been all about the forecast of snow. But at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport they were on the lookout for a giant jackal-headed god.

They weren’t disappointed. DFW International Airport welcomed the ancient Egyptian jackal-headed god Anubis, guide and protector of the dead, to the Airport’s Founders’ Plaza. The 10-ton, 26-foot-tall statue has a giant candy cane staff and is on duty to remind travelers that there’s a “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA).
The folks at Luxaholics are fretting a lot about air travel these days. At Thanksgiving they shared some of my tips for stress-free travel. This week, they wanted to know how I’d “lux up” a coach seat.
They didn’t have room for all my tips, so in addition to the amenities kit from Flight 001 mentioned in the feature, I wanted to make sure folks check out the Travel Treats kits and other pint-sized products offered by minimus.biz.
Think stocking stuffers….
