Estonia’s Tallinn Airport

We received some snaps of Estonia’s Tallinn Airport (TLL) from intrepid traveler Cathy Raines, who said this airport may now be her favorite, “or right up there.”

On its Facebook page, the airport says it will never be the largest in the world “but it can be the world’s coziest airport.”

That sounds inviting. So we decided to take a closer look. And can now add this charming airport to our “5 Things We Love About…” series.

5 Things We Love About Estonia’s Tallinn Airport (TLL)

1. A Ping Pong Table

Here’s a way to entertain travelers while offering a bit of exercise at the airport.

2. A playground for kids

Shoes off and fun on. This looks like a great place for kids to hang out before a flight.

3. A giant chess set

Kids AND adults can enjoy this fun airport amenity while sharpening their strategy skills.

4. An airport library

This airport library stays open around the clock. And the shelves are stocked with books in English, Estonian, Russian and other languages. There’s also a separate section just for children’s books.

Travelers are invited to leave books in the library and, the airport invites readers to leave “an inscription in the book: a nice thought or wish for the next reader or a note of the destinations this book has visited.”

5. A piano

Again, a fun amenity that not only entertains airport travelers but lets them hone – and show off – a skill.

Thanks, Cathy, for letting us know about this charming and, yes, cozy, airport.
