Here’s a quick roundup of fun posts and new amenities recently spotted at airports.
New York’s Albany International Airport (ALB) is getting ready for all the travelers who will be arriving for the Belmont Stakes horse race in Saratoga on June 8.
They’ve set up a selfie station with a horse statue just past the security checkpoint.

Leo is obviously excited for the big weekend and belted out a few loud “neighs” while greeting our horse this afternoon in the terminal.

Airports often put together a gate-side celebration when an airline kicks off a new route. But Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) does it especially well.

We’ve been watching these Jabbrrbox workspace pods sprout at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) over the past few months and have yet to try them out. Given how busy the airport is this season, though, we’re sure travelers with work to do or important calls to take will find them useful.
Work while you’re on the go! 💼 We have 11 Jabbrrbox Escape Pod workspaces available throughout the terminal. 💻 Whether you need to make a call or run a meeting, there’s a spot for you at SEA! https://t.co/EdK0pvLDXa pic.twitter.com/29uaVZ9sly
