Souvenir Sunday at New Orleans International Airport

It’s Souvenir Sunday – the day we take a look at some of the fun, inexpensive and locally-linked items for sale at airports.

Christopher lives in New Orleans and sent out a tweet that he was heading to the airport to pick up some visiting family members. I asked him to poke around for fun souvenirs.

Here are just a few of the snaps he sent.

As a thank-you, I’ll be sending Christopher a StuckatTheAirport.com travel souvenir.

Want one too?

Next time you’re at an airport, take some photos of souvenirs that are fun, inexpensive (about $10) and “of” the city or regiona you’re visiting. Send them along and, if they’re featured on Souvenir Sunday, I’ll send you a travel souvenir.
