We’re not flying. But we’re going to the airport
The StuckatTheAirport.com holiday team will be spending some time at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) this week.
We have no plans to fly anywhere.
But SEA, our home base airport, is one of 20 airports that offers day passes to non-ticketed guests.
So we’ll be using a SEA Visitor Pass to visit the SubPop Airport Shop during its final week at the airport. The shop opened back in 2014 and has been delighting music-minded travelers ever since.
While at SEA we’ll do some last minute holiday shopping and to try to catch a selfie or two with Santa and the other holiday characters that are roaming around.
Cool new terminal expansion at Fresno Yosemite Int’l Airport (FAT)
Just in time for holiday travel, Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) – the airport that welcomes travelers with giant indoor sequoia tree replicas – debuted a new terminal expansion that is part of a four year modernization project.
This piece adds approximately 98,000 square feet to FAT’s footprint with an expanded Concourse B that includes several new shops and restaurants, updated passenger holdrooms and two “swing-gate” jet bridges that accommodate both domestic and international flight arrivals.
Terrazzo flooring features a river themed pattern designed to symbolize the various waterways that flow through the Central Valley. And there’s more fresh public art, courtesy of a partnership with the Fresno Arts Council.
Take a look.
And here’s a great shot of FAT’s sequoia tree replicas.
