Robot car parking
Yesterday, we were remembering out adventures with mascot Gary Gatwick at London Gatwick Airport around the time JetBlue kicked off its Boston-London Gatwick flights.

Today we learn that the airport is introducing robotic airport parking. Time to go back and see what else is new at Gatwick Airport.
We're excited to launch the UK's first robotic airport parking service at London Gatwick, in partnership with Stanley Robotics! 🤖

Sure, it’s hot in New Orleans this time of year. But it’s hot everywhere this summer.
The temperature in usually-temperate Seattle – homebase for StuckatTheAirport – hit 99 degrees yesterday.
So New Orleans in summer could be an option. Especially with this $100 bonus.
Book a minimum two-night stay between now and September 30, 2026 through NewOrleans.com and you will receive a $100 digital gift card to spend as you please.
The gift card will be delivered to you via email the day you check-in and can be used for meals, activities and even towards the price of your hotel room.
Gas prices are moving up (again….) and so keep your eyes peeled for hotels around the country offering to give you gas or VISA cards with your stay.
This promotion from properties along Oregon’s Adventure Coast runs through July 30, 2026 and some $75 gift cards may still be available.
